The Bloody Tear is an event-summoning item used to summon a Blood Moon. It can only be used at night, and attempting to use it during the day or while a Blood Moon is already active will not summon a Blood Moon, affect the ongoing Blood Moon, or consume the item.

The Bloody Tear has a 1/100 (1%) chance to be dropped from Blood Zombies and Dripplers, a 1/25 (4%) chance from Blood Eels, Hemogoblin Sharks, Wandering Eye Fish, and Zombie Mermen, a 1/10 (10%) chance from Clowns, and a 1/5 (20%) chance from The Bride and The Groom. The Bloody Tear can only be dropped during a Blood Moon, i.e. enemies killed after the Blood Moon has ended do not drop it.[1] The exception to this are The Groom and The Bride, who can drop it at any time. Statue-spawned Blood Zombies and Dripplers can never drop a Bloody Tear.

Additionally, Dreadnautiluses have a 1/2 (50%) / 1/1 (100%) chance of dropping it at any time.

Notes

  • Consuming a Bloody Tear when the moon phase is a New Moon will set it to a Waxing Crescent.[2]
  • Attempting to use a Bloody Tear during the Frost Moon or Pumpkin Moon will not start a Blood Moon, but will still consume the Bloody Tear.

Tips

  • If the player wishes to acquire a Slap Hand, they can hold on to a Bloody Tear until they find a Skeleton Merchant. They then can use the Bloody Tear, allowing the Skeleton Merchant to sell a Slap Hand.
  • Since using the Bloody Tear on a New Moon will cause it to change into a Waxing Crescent, it can be used for acquiring phase-dependent content faster.

Trivia

  • The tooltip is a direct reference to the 1987 action role-playing game Castlevania II: Simon's Quest, in which the game would show the same text whenever it became night. The Bloody Tear's name is a reference to a track in Castlevania II known as "Bloody Tears".

History

  • Desktop 1.4.4:
    • Stack limit increased from 20 to 9999.
    • The Brides and Grooms that spawn in Graveyards can now drop Bloody Tears even if it is not a Blood Moon.
