Shadow Orb.
The Shadow Orb's behavior when moving. Its height can be controlled using
▲ Up and
▼ Down.
The Shadow Orb is a light pet-summoning item that spawns a slow-moving Shadow Orb which follows the player around and emits dim, purple light. The orb can move through solid objects and liquids unhindered, but moves very slowly, causing it to fall behind when the player is moving quickly. If it falls far enough behind, it will teleport to the player's location. The Shadow Orb has a 1/5 (20%) chance of dropping from destroyed Shadow Orbs, but it also has a 1/5 (20%) chance of being acquired from Corrupt Crates(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) and Defiled Crates(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions), which are obtained by fishing in the Corruption.
The Crimson counterpart to the Shadow Orb is the Crimson Heart.
Notes
- The orb's position can be somewhat controlled using the ▲ Up and ▼ Down keys, allowing the player to reorient the orb directly above or below them respectively.
- This will cause the orb to catch up slightly faster, if it is lagging behind.
- The orb will emit purple light even if dyed.
Tips
- When paired with Acid Dye of any color, the orb will have stripes in the color but it will be buggy, as parts of, or even the whole orb itself, can disappear.
- It can be paired with Reflective Gold Dye to make the Shadow Orb appear similarly to how it looked prior to 1.2.
- Twilight Dye can render the orb almost completely invisible.
History
The Shadow Orb when it was still an Orb of Light.
- Desktop 1.4.0.1: Aligned sell value with all other Shadow Orb/Crimson Heart loot, increasing it from 20 SC to 1 GC50 SC.
- Desktop 1.2:
- Renamed from Orb of Light to Shadow Orb.
- Item sprite updated from to .
- Buff sprite updated from to .
- Projectile sprite updated from to .
- No longer requires mana to use (previously needed 40).
- Buff no longer expires.
- Desktop 1.0.6:
- Movement speed of Orb was reduced.
- Light intensity was reduced from 100% to 65%.
- Using the item now gives the player a buff instead of treating it like a spell.
- Consequently, this causes the item to be automatically used when pressing the quick buff hotkey.
