Volcano



The Volcano (on ) or Fiery Greatsword (on ) is a sword crafted from Hellstone Bars. While it lacks autoswing and has a slow swing speed, it has the second-longest reach and second-highest damage of all swords in Pre-Hardmode. It generates a small explosion whenever it hits an enemy, dealing extra damage to the original target and nearby enemies, and it has a chance per individual hit to inflict the On Fire! debuff for 3 seconds. It emits fiery light particles when swung. It is one of the key ingredients in crafting the Night's Edge.

Trivia

 * The Volcano has the highest base damage of all the swords used to craft the Night's Edge.
 * Through "usual" game progression, this is usually the last of the Night's Edge ingredients attained, requiring a trip to the Underworld and some hazardous mining. That said, it is entirely possible to make an early Underworld run and get the Volcano even before killing Skeletron and searching for the Muramasa.
 * The Volcano used to be called the “Fiery Greatsword” until it was changed to Volcano in 1.4.4.
