The Nailhead is a Hardmode, post-Plantera enemy found only during the Solar Eclipse event. In addition to walking into the player and dealing contact damage, the Nailhead fires eight nails in a symmetrical 45 degree spread when attacked, covering every direction. It has significantly more health than most other Solar Eclipse enemies as well, and has a high resistance to knockback.

Notes

  • Even though the nails' damage are rather low, the contact damage is extreme, thus it is still risky to encounter at close range.
  • Despite having high health and dealing high damage, it moves much slower than any other Solar Eclipse enemy, leaving it vulnerable to multiple attacks.
  • Nailheads can open Doors.
  • Even though the nails do rather low damage its still best do attack Nailhead from a medium to long range making it easier to dodge the nails.

Trivia

  • Nailhead is a reference to the character Pinhead from the 1987 film Hellraiser.[1]
  • It's also a reference to Slipknot Craig Jones.
