Not to be confused with the Eye of Cthulhu, the boss; or the True Eye of Cthulhu, a minion of the Moon Lord.

The Eye of Cthulhu in use (infinite spin duration).

The Eye of Cthulhu is a Hardmode, post-Plantera yoyo that has a 1/3 (33.33%) / 5/9 (55.56%) chance of being dropped by Mothrons during a Solar Eclipse.

Its best modifier is Godly or Demonic. Both modifiers increase the average damage output by the same amount. However, Ruthless might be preferred if the player already has very high critical strike chance.

Notes

The Eye of Cthulhu drop explicitly requires that Plantera and all three mechanical bosses have been defeated.^[1] This is always the case in regular gameplay, since it is a prerequisite to fighting Mothron, but if Mothron is encountered earlier because of mods or other third-party tools, then it will not drop The Eye of Cthulhu.

Achievements

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".
