Notes

  • In a drunk world, the Spinal Tap is obtainable before defeating Skeletron, as Dungeon enemies can spawn prior to defeating the boss.

Tips

  • The Spinal Tap's low multihit penalty makes it an excellent weapon for crowd control and effective against The Hungry during the fight against the Wall of Flesh. Along with this, it is one of the best weapons for farming the Brain of Cthulhu in pre-Hardmode, as well as the Eater of Worlds to a lesser extent.

Trivia

  • The tooltip is a reference to a line from the 1984 American mockumentary movie This Is Spinal Tap, in which the guitarist for the band Spinal Tap, Nigel Tufnel, shows an amplifier to the crew and notes that the dials go "up to eleven".
    • A spinal tap is another name for a lumbar puncture, which is a medical procedure that involves inserting a needle into the spinal canal.
