Talk:Arkhalis

Only sword? I'm pretty sure Night's Edge can also hit enemies behind. 93.50.129.38 16:03, 30 July 2015 (UTC)

Recently got a hold of one of these, it seems the values have been slightly changed since 1.3.0.1 - I see 21 damage and Weak knockback on a vanilla (no reforge) arkhalis. (Patch 1.3.0.8) 95.103.217.72 10:42, 12 February 2016 (UTC)
 * EDIT: Apologies, forgot about reforges on equipment. Damage is unchanged, knockback is still "Weak", though. 95.103.217.72 12:13, 12 February 2016 (UTC)

Savejacking works to get these.
It is kinda tedious because you have to run over there tho.

Background Sword Sprite drops
I have a couple of questions for our code checkers: 1: The Background Sword Sprite can occur elsewhere in the cavern layer, not just in the Enchanted Sword Shrine, correct? Or did this change with 1.3.0.1? 2: The Arkhalis can drop from ANY background sword sprite, correct? Or just from the one contained within an Enchanted Sword Shrine? – Ferretwings (talk ) 15:22, 14 August 2017 (UTC)
 * 1. Yes. Relevant code part is in worldgen, "Piles" generation pass(type = 187; style = 17;). It seems it can be generated underground too, not just caverns(int j1 = WorldGen.genRand.Next((int) Main.worldSurface, Main.maxTilesY - 300);). Also, I personally encountered random enchanted sword tile once in 1.3.5.3
 * 2. Code doesn't seem to have any additional checks besides tile type and frame.
 * Try testing yourself, small expert crimson world, seed: 820518866 enchanted sword at 974 east, 500 caverns. Make a house there and restore world .bak files till you get arkhalis.

 * Are you saying that when you broke a [[File:Enchanted Sword comparison.png]], an Arkhalis dropped? – Ferretwings (talk ) 01:20, 12 May 2019 (UTC)


 * Yes Yeetmcgee345 (talk) 01:25, 12 May 2019 (UTC)


 * I don't suppose you are taking part in the Mobile 1.3 Beta Testing? – Ferretwings (talk ) 01:29, 12 May 2019 (UTC)

Arkhalis is not powerful enough to drop from a hardmode boss treasure bag though, especially if obtained in Master Mode. 20 Damage is just like throwing a rock on a planet and expecting something to happen tho (Commented by user:Okokup) (talk) 13:59, 20 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Like most developer set items, Arkhalis purposes are merely visual. Equipping the full set also changes Arkhalis swung projectile effect. However it's unique effect is worthy of a rebalancing to match the developer yoyos (compare to Red's Throw and Valkyrie Yoyo). As of 1.4.0.1 the Starlight could be considered a upgrade to Terragrim and Arkhalis, behaving similarly but possessing higher range, speed and damage, as well able to get Legendary prefix, the only downside not having a hitbox behind the player. 177.99.83.245 00:50, 15 August 2020 (UTC)

Arkhalis blak colour
I think the arkhalis's colour varies depending on the dye you have equipped at the critter shampoo Blakeblaze13 (talk) 04:29, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
