Famine ScepterHardmode exclusive
The Famine Scepter was a Hardmode summon weapon that was dropped by the Wall of Flesh. When used, it summoned a Hungry minion that followed the player and attacked enemies via latching onto them. Uniquely, the summoned Hungry Minion would have fleshy chains attached to the player. This prevented the summoned from Hungry minion from moving too far away from the player. However, the player would slowly drain their health by one when the summoned Hungries were active.
Its best modifier was Ruthless. The Mythical modifier provides the widest array of stat bonuses, but these primarily affect the initial summon rather than the resulting minion. Additionally, minions cannot deal critical hits. The only lasting advantage a Mythical Famine Scepter had over a Ruthless one is knockback.
Notes
- If the player died from the health drain ability, it would result in the same death message as dying from the On Fire! debuff.
