The Possessed Hatchet is a Hardmode, post-Golem boomerang that homes in on enemies while flying through the air at high velocity before returning to the player when thrown. On the Desktop version,
Console version, and
Mobile version, the weapon acts similarly to stacked Light Discs, capable of throwing multiple hatchets despite being incapable of being stacked, with no limit to the number of hatchets that can be out at once. On the
Old-gen console version and Nintendo
version, it acts as a singular boomerang and throws out only one hatchet at a time. When it has no enemy to home in on, the Possessed Hatchet returns to the player after flying a relatively short distance of only 25 tiles. The Posssessed Hatchet has a
14.29*1/7 (14.29%) / 12.5*1/8 (12.5%) chance to be dropped from the Golem.
Its best modifier is Godly or Demonic. Both modifiers increase the average damage output by the same amount.
Notes
- The Possessed Hatchet homes in on the tail segment of all worms.
- The Possessed Hatchet cannot target players during PvP.
- If aimed correctly, the player can attack enemies from behind a wall.
- If the player dies when the Possessed Hatchet is thrown, it will hover at their death point until they respawn, then it will fly to them.
- On the
Old-gen console version, the weapon has no autoswing, significantly reducing its usefulness.
Tips
- Due to the weapon being fast and capable of throwing multiple hatchets, it can be fired at a very rapid rate and be quite effective against certain bosses, especially Duke Fishron.
- It is fairly effective against Crawltipedes, due to always targeting its tail, leading it to easily take it out with only a few hits.
Trivia
- The Possessed Hatchet is one of the only weapons that have a higher damage value on the
Old-gen console version and Nintendo
version than on the
Desktop version,
Console version, and
Mobile version.
- Despite being a hatchet, it cannot chop down trees.
