Ball 'O Hurt

The Ball 'O Hurt is an item in the Flails weapon category. It is obtained by smashing a Shadow Orb with a hammer. It acts similarly to the Grappling Hook, except that after extending a certain distance, it drops as though affected by gravity. It will automatically retract, if it hits a block or runs out of length. It also emits small particles similar to those of other objects in the corruption.

It is particularly useful when fighting Bone Serpents or the Eater of Worlds boss, since it does relatively constant damage once you fire it.
