Could this be the best biome chest weapon in Terraria?
[Applause] when it comes to picking a biome weapon from the dungeon in terraria the vampire knives have always been the center of attention this could be due to their unique life-stealing properties orders out of nostalgia to remind you of how good they used to be whatever the
Reasoning is i see the vampire knives talked about more than any other volume chest weapon today we’re going to be shining away on one other bomb chest weapon in particular which is the equivalent to the vampire knives for corruption worlds yes i’m talking about the scourge of the corrupter when
Utilized correctly this weapon can be an absolute beast and easily carry you all the way up to the cultist remaining powerful in a range of scenarios its unique firing style also makes it incredibly easy to use before we delve any further though let’s see how you
Obtain it like any biome weapon it can be found in the corresponding biome chest in the dungeon which requires a key to open in this case we need the corruption key asus has a one in 2500 chance of dropping from nearly every enemy in the game bearing that you’re in
The corruption biome there’s a few things we can do to speed up the time it’ll take for one to drop farming it manually like this will take forever so i’d recommend creating an underground farm like this making sure that every tile the enemy will spawn on are made of
Heavenstern you might need to add a few extra to make sure it passes the corruption biome threshold now you’ll have an absolute tone of corruption enemies spawning on you which although is great for drop chances is an absolute nightmare to deal with even with bulging skills like this
Luckily there’s kind of a loophole we can work with to make this fast safer as the game doesn’t look for the buy and the enemy’s spawning as long as the player is in a corruption by him the key will have a chance to drop to simply place enough ebenstone to create a
Corruption biome but leave the platforms out of some standard tile like stone brakes this will spawn much easier cabin enemies which can be killed far faster too with this it shouldn’t take you very long at all before some corruption keys start to pop up and if you want to fan
To any other keys you can just simply swap out the tiles for say ice if you’re looking for the frozen key anyway having its time looked at the skerges performance the scourge of the corrupter is a projectile based mellow weapon that fires a fast-moving homing eater bite
These little things split up into two to four tiny eaters upon impact with a solid blocker enemy these can also ricochet up to five times before dissipating firing this thing for an extended period of time pretty much makes your screen an unsufferable bullet hell for the enemy unfortunately the
Eater’s damage cannot be reflected using dummies as the homing ignores them entirely so let’s give it a go instead on a large group of mummies this thing cleans them up pretty quickly as expected the longer the fight went on for the more damage i dealt as there
Were a larger quantity of projectiles on the field this can make for some pretty interesting fights against free biomimics for example during their flying attack they outspeed the projectiles which continue to be created with each hit soon enough they’ll all catch up and deal a massive chunk of
Damage all at once the same behavior can make it an incredible weapon against bosses and if i’m honest after testing dozens of weapons against duke fisher on i have to say the scourge was by far the most easy and satisfying one i’ve had its long-range homing functionality
Meant i could even make it hit less what’s great is every impact you make is a hefty chunk of damage then you have the added projectiles which follow him around until catching up and dealing an additional chunk of damage it’s one of these weapons where the more you fire it
Regardless where you’re aiming you’re probably gonna hit the boss somehow it would only be fair to also test it on a ground level boss too light golem yes this is one of the easiest fights that can make any weapon look good but i was still impressed nonetheless it made the first stage go
By super fast and therefore would be quite a good weapon to farm golem drop swift as it behaves like a ranged weapon but doesn’t consume any ammo after thoroughly using this weapon on a bunch of different scenarios i have to say it’s now one of my favorite puss montero
Miller weapons i just don’t get why nobody uses it could it be that the grinder getting that biome key is too much of a time investment for what you could be doing at that point in the game as with everything between pantera and the cultist it has a very short shelf
Life before it is replaced with a pillar on moonlord weapon what do you think is the scourge of the corrupter one of your favorite bottom chest weapons or would you rather stick with team red with the vampire knives let me know down below thanks for watching for more terraria

Could this be the best biome chest weapon in Terraria? The Scourge of the Corruptor. In this video, I take a look at this post-plantera powerful melee weapon which can be obtained from the corruption chest in the dungeon. It is usually over-shadowed by the vampire knives despite having a ton of damage potential. I’d even say this is one of the best late game melee weapons in Terraria!

Any Scourge lovers in here?
That moment when you get corruption key but there isn’t a corrupt chest in your world and if you wanted to defeat plantera fast in a different world you would probably would need to have endgame gear and you wouldn’t actually need the scourge anymore:
Team red
I love it so badly and the fact that it saved a lot of times when solar eclipses happen and every single segment of the eater of worlds count as a monster makes it easy to get
i farm in the dungeon post plantera A LOT , because of post plantera's dungeon's cool items , and i didn't care that the dungeon is in an underground corruption biome , and while i was killing enemies one of them dropped the corruption key , but sadly , i got the corruption key while i am post moon lord endgame after i crafted the zenith , and from that time when i want a biome chest weapon , i make an underground biome matching with the weapon i want , and most of the time i make an underground jungle or crimson or any other biome but i make these biomes most of the time , so when i am in the dungeon , i can have fun in grinding and beating enemies for there loot , and at the same time farming for the biome chests keys , so i don't get bored
Can we summon the eater of worlds and kill it for a better chance while standing in the corruption biome I mean that boss is pretty easy by the time you need biome keys isn't that the fastest method since it has many parts
i'm in crimson so meh….
lol just got the key on like the first corruption enemy i hit at the beginning of hardmode (im melee btw)
To this day i still use both ever since i got them
Sometimes i prefer to just stand still and fire the scourge tp the ground and watch everything around me die
It's so fun
I think the main reason why it’s so underused can be described in 2 words…
Vampire Knives!
Genuinely we need more biome chest weapons
3:25 nice i can make a Copper Shortsword look good (this is a joke comment)
But why is it melee?
Ah yes, another Spear that isn`t actually a Spear
Scourge with ichor flask, frost armour and magma gauntlets made the engame events a breeze in my coop mastermode playthrougj
Last playthrough I (despite playing Ranged) used the Scourge to nuke the ground during the pillars. It certainly has its uses.
I'd argue the best Biome Chest weapon is Staff of the Frost Hydra, purely because it only gets outclassed post-Moonlord.
me and my cousins used to hate and love that weapon everytime we pvp,
So I have the key but it won't let me open the chest, why?
It might be really good, but there's so much competition for great melee weapons.
personally i fell in love with it when i got my hands on it (i lucked out and got like 2 corruption keys without trying), however i sadly quickly replaced it with the terra blade as despite it being good it was sadly just better than it
I prefer vamp knifes as its a duo weapon not a main weapon
mele speed makes this one a beast too
Bro I Just Got Corruption Key In 4 Att
