Anchor



The Anchor is a Hardmode melee weapon which acts in a similar fashion to the Harpoon, firing an anchor projectile in an arc. The projectile remains attached to the player via a rope and is heavily affected by gravity. It returns upon reaching a maximum distance or impacting, and damages any enemies in its return path. The Anchor is found in Wooden Crates which are obtained from fishing after the Wall of Flesh has been defeated.

Tips

 * Since the projectile itself is comparably large and its return trip can pierce unlimited enemies, throwing it past a group of enemies and pulling it through them is an effective strategy, making the Anchor very useful for controlling large groups of enemies.
 * It is most useful early Hardmode, quickly being outclassed by better weapons as the player progresses.
