The Love Potion in action.

The Love Potion is a Hardmode thrown potion that functions similarly to Thrown Water, though causes no functional effect. Upon colliding with solid blocks, it inflicts the Lovestruck debuff on players, enemies, critters, and NPCs within a radius of 9 tiles, causing them to emit red hearts for 30 seconds, similar to the Water Gun's dripping effect. This effect is purely cosmetic.

Notes

  • Despite the Princess Fish being available on the Nintendo 3DSNintendo 3DS version version and having "Material" listed in its tooltip, the Love Potion cannot be crafted due to a lack of Shiverthorn in the game.
  • It can be created and used in pre-Hardmode worlds if an artificial Hallowed sea or lake is created for fishing – or if either Princess Fish or the Love Potion itself is transferred to the world by a Hardmode player.

Tips

  • Since the Princess Fish (25 SC) sells for more than the Love Potion (40 CC), it is more economical to sell the fish than it is to sell the potions.

Trivia

  • Lovestruck is considered a debuff because it cannot be terminated manually and the Nurse charges money for removing it, similar to other debuffs. Despite this, the debuff icon has a blue background, which usually indicates a buff.
    • This might be because the Love Potion is used to "make someone fall in love", which could imply that the target is unable to remove the effect.
