Not to be confused with the Eye of Cthulhu, the boss, or the True Eye of Cthulhu, the enemy summoned by the Moon Lord.
The Eye of Cthulhu in use (infinite spin).

The Eye of Cthulhu is a Hardmode, post-Plantera yoyo which has a 1/3 (33.33%) / 5/9 (55.56%) chance of being dropped by Mothrons during a Solar Eclipse. It is the second-strongest yoyo in the game, only beaten by the Terrarian.

It has an infinite spin duration and can reach up to 22.5 tiles.

Its best modifier is Godly or Demonic. Both modifiers increase the average damage output by the same amount.

Tips

  • A greater damage output can be achieved by using the Yoyo Bag accessory.
  • If this yoyo is obtained pre-Golem, it can be a useful weapon when fighting Golem due to its high DPS.

Trivia

  • Modifier prefixes are added in front of the "The" in its name, which can result in a grammatically incorrect name such as "Keen The Eye of Cthulhu". It shares this trait with all other items that can obtain modifiers and whose names begin with "The".
  • Despite being named the same as the Eye of Cthulhu, it is not dropped by it.
