Tips

• If players create an artificial Corruption biome in a Crimson world, they may obtain Cursed Flames. One might simply bring it from another world as a solution. As of the 1.4 update, it is possible to obtain Cursed Flames in a Crimson world without the use of creating another world. To do so, one must buy Corrupt Seeds from the Dryad in Hardmode while in a Graveyard and let it spread anywhere in the world to create an artificial Corrupt biome, giving access to Cursed Flames.

Trivia

• The Cursed Flame may be based on Greek fire, an incendiary weapon used by the Byzantine Empire that was able to burn almost anywhere and was used in naval warfare.
  • It also may be based on the cursed green flames from "The Festival", a short story by H. P. Lovecraft.
• Spazmatism can shoot Cursed Flame, but it will not drop Cursed Flame items.
• The Cursed Flare is the only item made from Cursed Flame that does not have an Ichor variant.
