The Blue Moon attacking Target Dummies.

The Blue Moon is a pre-Hardmode, post-Skeletron flail that has a 1/7 (14.29%) chance of being obtained from the Locked Gold Chests found in the Dungeon, as well as a 1/7 (14.29%) chance of being obtained from Golden Lock Boxes.

Its best modifier is Godly or Demonic. Both modifiers increase the average damage output by the same amount. However, Ruthless might be preferred if the player already has very high critical strike chance.

Tips

  • The Blue Moon is especially effective in dealing with goblins, clumps of enemies, and large enemies.

Trivia

  • It resembles the Muramasa and Water Bolt, likely because all these weapons are acquired from the Dungeon.
  • It can be considered the thematic counterpart to the Sunfury.
  • The item's name refers to a blue moon, a natural phenomenon involving an extra full moon in a given period.
