The Blood Thorn is a Hardmode magic weapon that summons three penetrating Blood Thorn projectiles upon use, which erupt from solid blocks and platforms to damage enemies near the player's cursor. It has a 1/8 (12.5%) chance of being dropped by the Hemogoblin Shark.

Its best modifier is Mythical.

Notes

• Blood Thorn projectiles spawn from random solid blocks or platforms in a circular area around the cursor.
  • If a solid block obstructs line of sight between the player and the cursor, then projectiles are instead summoned from a circle around the obstruction point, facing the cursor.
  • If no solid, valid tiles are detected within a circular area around the cursor (i.e. the player is both in midair and targeting a point in midair, or when there are no valid tiles for summoning Blood Thorns around the cursor), then they are summoned from the player's hitbox instead.
  • Blood Thorn projectiles cannot be summoned from background blocks (such as Smoke Blocks or Bubbles) or actuated blocks. They can, however, be summoned into or from liquids.
• Blood Thorn projectiles can pierce up to four enemies and linger for approximately 1.5 seconds before dissipating.

Tips

• The Ice Blocks summoned by the Ice Rod can serve as roots for the Blood Thorns.
