Fiery Greatsword (Before Volcano) attacking Target Dummies. Notice its ability to reach two at the same time.

The Volcano (on  PC,  Console, and  Mobile) or Fiery Greatsword (on  Old-gen console,  Windows Phone,  Old Chinese, 3DS,  tModLoader, and  tModLoader Legacy) is a sword crafted from Hellstone Bars. It may lack autoswing and have a slow swing speed, but it has the second-longest reach and second-highest damage of all swords in Pre-Hardmode. It has a 50*1/2 (50%) chance to inflict the On Fire! debuff for 3 seconds and emits fiery light particles when swung. It is one of the key ingredients in crafting the Night's Edge.

Its best modifier is Legendary.

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.
