Why does nobody use this weapon in Terraria?

0:38 Slime staff drop, lol

Thats because uzi, daedelus stormbow, cristal serpent and night edge exist

Interesting weapon.

At the end, how did you use the weapon so fast?

I actually got this weapon on my 1.4 switch playthrough and was so taken aback cause I'd forgotten that thing was in the game and was amazed by it's performance cause it dropped with a good modifier (godly I think)

I know this is a video from ages ago, maybe you've already done this, but… Duke Fishron is usually fought after Plantera, and you're using a mount dropped from the Duke, while fighting Plantera. I just think it might make the fight a little easier for the dodging.

I honestly wish The Underworld would have to be revisited for some reason, whether it be a new boss or a new ore or a new set of enemies with new drops, whatever it may be. Most of the biomes in the game with a major role in progression, being the Jungle, the Corruption/Crimson, the Cavern layer, the Dungeon & the Underworld, get revisited in hardmode.

The Jungle biome is visited in Pre-Hardmode for things like the Jungle Armor, Mana Flower, Blade of Grass, Feral Claws, Anklet of the Wind, Fiberglass Fishing Pole, Queen Bee, etc. But it's visited again in Hardmode because of Chlorophyte ore, life fruits, Plantera, and Golem. And moths as well, if you want the butterfly wings.

The Corruption/Crimson is visited in Pre-Hardmode for loot dropped by the shadow orbs/crimson hearts and of course for the Eater of Worlds/Brain of Cthulhu. But it's visited once again in Hardmode because of souls of night, cursed flames/ichor, being able to break the altars, and Corrupt/Crimson mimics.

The Cavern/underground layer is visited in Pre-Harmode because of the sheer amount of loot found there. Ores, Life Crystals, Gold Chests, Glowing Mushroom Biomes, tons of enemy drops, etc. In Hardmode you go back underground for the hardmode ores, as well as spider fangs for the Spider Armor, the underground hallowed & evil biomes, the ice biome for the Frozen Turtle Shell or Ice Sickle, the underground Desert for Forbidden Fragments, etc.

The Dungeon is visited in Pre-Hardmode much like the cavern/underground layer simply because of the sheer amount of loot there. The enemies drop bones used in crafting multiple things, the chests have plenty of useful weapons for most classes like the Muramasa, the Blue Moon, the Valor, the Handgun, the Magic Missile, the Aqua Scepter, as well as the Shadow Key & Obsidian Shield. One thing I've also found unfortunate about this stage is how the Underworld has weapons extremely similar to the Dungeon weapons, so the Dungeon weapons get replaced very very fast. The Blue Moon almost instantly is replaced by the Sunfury, the Valor is replaced by the Cascade, and the Magic Missile is replaced by the Flamelash, etc. And of course the Dungeon is re-visited in Hardmode due to all-new enemies and drops. The Paladin's Hammer & Shield, Tactical Shotgun, Wisp in a Bottle, Magnet Sphere, Inferno Fork, Spectre Staff, Shadowbeam Staff, all the biome chest weapons, there is simply way too much to count.

And of course, the Underworld is visited in Pre-Hardmode for the Wall of Flesh, as well as the amazing loot found. Hellstone, accessories like the Magma Stone, Treasure Magnet & the Obsidian Rose, all the weapons like the Dark Lance, Sunfury, Hellwing Bow, Flamelash & Flower of Fire, potions like Lifeforce & Potion of Return, all things that are very helpful against the Wall of Flesh and in very early Harmode. But this is the only biome in the game that holds a major role in progression that only gets visited once. Of course you can go down post-mech bosses if you want the Unholy Trident. But why would you? There's no incentive to.

With the other biomes, the game incentivises you to revisit them in Harmode. After killing the final mech boss, the message The Jungle grows restless… shows up, making the player go there. Once Hardmode begins, the player will notice the evil biome having spread in a big area underground, getting them to explore. Once the player breaks the altars, they get messages that new ores have been spawned in, and they get to mining. Once Plantera has been killed, the message Screams are echoing from the Dungeon… is shown, getting the player to go there. But the player has literally no reason whatsoever to go back to the Underworld. It's such a one and done biome and I think that is such a shame. I love the Underworld as a biome and as a milestone in game progression. I just really wish it could be expanded upon in Hardmode, with more new enemies, more new items, maybe even a new boss.

Red devils are a pain like few others

Only have to kill 1 mech(destroyer cheese lol) and grind for it, use it until golem

I think the weapon gets undermined just because of the other amazing options you can get that this point in the game. Technically only 1 mech boss is required to beat it, but weapons like the crystal serpent, golden shower, poison staff (all of which don’t require a mech boss to be beaten) and magic harp (if you kill the twins first) all can very easily out DPS this weapon. On top of this, the projectiles it shoots are relatively slow, which means that it can be particularly difficult to hit bosses with it. And again, even if you want to use it for farming invasions, the alternatives work just as well, if not better. If you want to play mage and fight Plantera, then something like the venom staff will easily be a better option because of its wide range making it easy to hit her and her tendrils during phase two, on top of the venom Debuff.

Very good for calamity because u go for profaned guardians + signus in hardmode underworld

I don't use it because I don't like how it feels

Ive used it. Its pretty good.

One time, I actually got it the first time I killed one, but it fell into lava

Actually red devils can spawn after only one tech is dead

The thing is, this weapon has an UNCOOL desing.

Yeah I got like 20 of these things trying to get fire feather and it helped out a ton with the mechs

This weapon i really like, one of my favorite mage weapons in early hardmode

this we kinda sucks the life drain is better

change my mind

It took me hours to get this weapon

Ive obtained it before but I wasn’t playing mage unfortunately

Terraria version of animal geographic

I actually got this weapon on a mage run with the ruthless modifier I tried it out and the only problem with is the insane mana cost so unless your patient which most people aren’t and just use mana flower instead of using celestial cuffs and accessories that combine putrid scent with mana flower it also has no major special effects
