The Unholy Trident is a Hardmode magic weapon that fires fast magic tridents and has a fast fire rate, but a high mana cost. The projectiles pierce up to 2 enemies, and dissipate upon impacting a third. It has a 3.33*1/30 (3.33%) chance to be dropped by Red Devils in The Underworld after defeating any Mechanical Boss.

Its best modifier is Mythical.

Remix and Zenith seeds[]

On the Remix and Zenith seeds it can be found on Obsidian Lock Boxes and Shadow Chests with a lot less damage and mana cost.

Trivia[]

  • It can be considered a Hardmode version of the Gem staves, due to both weapons firing a projectile that pierces a limited amount of enemies in a straight line.
