Notes

  • The Excalibur will always knock enemies away from the player, regardless of the direction it is swung.

Tips

  • The Excalibur can be swung while walking backwards, which is useful for knocking back enemies during retreat.

Trivia

  • Prior to patch 1.2, the Excalibur was the strongest sword in the game.
  • Excalibur is the mythical sword of King Arthur from Arthurian legends. While some sources conflate Excalibur with the "Sword In The Stone" by which Arthur proved his kingship, more reliable sources have them as two separate swords. (Excalibur is later given to Arthur by the Lady In The Lake.) In Terraria, the Sword In The Stone is separately represented by the Enchanted Sword item.
  • The Enchanted Sword enemy shares the Excalibur's sprite design.
  • The Excalibur appears in the video game Palworld as a part of a crossover.
