Animation of the Tentacle Spike.
The Tentacle Spike is a pre-Hardmode melee weapon dropped by the Eater of Souls, Devourer, Crimera, Face Monster, and Blood Crawler with a 0.19*1/525 (0.19%) chance. On The Constant seed, the drop chance is increased to a 1*1/100 (1%) chance.
Similar to the Daybreak; the Tentacle Spike embeds the Tentacle Spike projectile into an enemy on a hit, each dealing 3 damage every second. These spikes last for 9 seconds, and can stack up to 5 times on each target, leading to a total of 15 damage every second with all spikes embedded.
Its best modifier is Legendary.
Trivia[]
- The tooltip is a reference to Wickerbottom's examination quote for the Tentacle Spike in Don't Starve.
- Internally, the Tentacle Spike inflicts a debuff on enemies, which inflicts the damage over time. Because it cannot be inflicted on players, it does not have a name nor tooltip and uses the icon of
Distorted as a placeholder. Its buff ID is 337.
