Tips

• Given the drop rate, it can be a good idea to use Water Candles and/or Battle Potions during a Solar Eclipse, to increase the chances of having more multiples dropped.

Trivia

• This item is an allusion to the classic literary trope of the disgraced or defeated hero who must repair their sword, or the similar trope of taking up the weapon of a past hero (perhaps killed by the monster dropping this item) to fulfill a destiny. Due to the fact that this was previously dropped by humanoid monsters, it may also imply that the holding monster was once a hero, but was cursed to become a monster.

History

• 1.3.0.1: No longer used to directly craft the Terra Blade. Also now only dropped by Mothron, rather than other monsters.

• 1.2: Introduced.
