The Fiery Greatsword is a Hellstone weapon that has a very far reach, (as of 1.0.5 this sword now has the longest), and very slow swing speed. It emits light in the form of fire particles when swung, which can make it useful when scouting caves and scanning for ore through walls.

Originally, this weapon dealt 34 damage. As of 1.0.5 however, it has been upped to 36, and made somewhat more powerful in an undetermined way besides two extra points of damage (Sometimes even four extra points of damage !). This weapon is now considerably comparable with other weapons such as Muramasa and the Blade of Grass.

It can also be crafted with the Blade of Grass, the Muramasa, and the Light's Bane at a Demon Altar to craft a Night's Edge
