The Bone Javelin is a consumable ranged weapon crafted from Sturdy Fossils. Upon hitting an enemy, it will stick to the enemy and inflict the Penetrated debuff, dealing 3 damage per second. Up to six Bone Javelins can be pierced onto an enemy, dealing a total of 18 damage a second. Bone Javelins stuck in an enemy will dissipate after 15 seconds.

Notes

  • Even though the base damage can be amplified with armor, accessories, and buffs, the continuous damage of one Bone Javelin will still be 3 damage per second.
  • Bone Javelins appear to have a strange effect on Granite Golems. When the Granite Golem turns invincible by crossing its arms, Bone Javelins will not do damage until the invincibility wears off, doing the damage via many 1s. It appears that the damage stacks over time, even while it is invincible.

Tips

  • The Bone Javelin is a great supporting weapon for bossing in pre-Hardmode, even after obtaining better weapons. Since 6 stacks are the maximum for the Penetrated debuff, landing 6 shots and changing to the main weapon with higher DPS will maximize the damage output.

Trivia

  • The Penetrated debuff can never be applied to players, so it lacks a correct debuff icon. It instead uses a duplicate of the Distorted debuff's icon.
  • Bone Javelins act similar to a Daybreak which both stick to an enemy and inflict a stacking damage debuff.
