The Hellfire Arrow is a type of arrow which creates a small explosion upon impact similar to Grenades, damaging all enemies in the area. It has a noticeably higher velocity than other arrows.

Hellfire Arrows can be found in Shadow Chests and Pots in The Underworld, crafted at an anvil, or purchased from the Demolitionist for 1 SC each in Hardmode.

Notes

  • Despite the name, Hellfire Arrows do not inflict the Hellfire(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) debuff.

Tips

  • Hellfire Arrows can be very useful against tight packs of enemies and worms such as Bone Serpents, as the explosion may damage multiple segments.
  • Due to the nature of the explosion, a single Hellfire Arrow can both kill Mother Slime and damage the Baby Slimes it spawns.
  • Hellfire Arrows can be used with the Chlorophyte Shotbow or with the Tsunami for heavy area damage. (Though for single targets only a single arrow will hit since one explosion will activate the enemies' invincibility frames and prevent the other explosions from hitting it.)

Trivia

  • Hellfire Arrows have the highest base damage out of all pre-Hardmode arrows.
  • Hellfire Arrows are the only type of arrow (beside basic Wooden Arrows) to turn into Shimmer Arrows when thrown into Shimmer instead of being decrafted into its components. This is probably due to unwanted cheesing by getting Hellstone Bars early.
