The Snake Charmer's Flute is a tool item that summons a climbable snake. It can be found in Sandstone Chests in the Underground Desert biome, or from Oasis Crates and Mirage Crates.
When used, it places a pot that a snake rises from. Once the snake reaches its full height of 100 tiles or touches a block, it stops rising and becomes climbable like a Rope. It is also possible to place blocks against it when it is fully extended. The snake and the pot disappear after approximately 25 seconds. It also produces a small amount of light.
Tips
- The pot the snake comes from sits on top of breakable background objects. This means it cannot be used directly in front of particularly tall trees, and will sit on top of tall grass, cacti, tree branches, other pots and the like.
- The pot and snake can be summoned in lava where the default variety of rope cannot be placed.
- This item is a good pre-Hardmode alternative to the Ice Rod for building into the sky, as blocks can be placed next to the snake.
- Related to that, it is possible to easily climb to the top of the Space layer by alternating between using the flute and placing blocks next to the snake.
- Using this method makes it very easy to search for floating islands in early pre-Hardmode.
- Related to that, it is possible to easily climb to the top of the Space layer by alternating between using the flute and placing blocks next to the snake.
- It seems that the pot cannot be summoned off-screen. As a result, it is not suitable to lower oneself into a pit.
Trivia
- The Snake Charmer's Flute has one of the longest base use times in the game, and is one of the few that have it listed as "Snail speed". The few other items with "Snail speed" are the Magic Mirror, Ice Mirror, Cell Phone, Shellphone, Magic Conch, and Demon Conch.
