I could see this weapon having extreme usefulness in Legendary Mode since you spend 99% of the playthrough underground anyways

I actually got and used it alot in some of my playthroughts when trying to get sanguine staff

[@legendarytat8278]

Most underwhelming too

[@Vlyg11]

I got it while farming for the blood moon weapons I just used it because why not would I use it I do not want to waste ores on any other tool than a drill or pick

[@Starfloofle]

Two things about this weapon: 1: this thing DESTROYS tier 2 old one's army. Because there's only a finite amount of enemies that can come out of the portal at once, the bloodthorn is basically always doing its maximum damage. You can stick some platforms up a little above the portal and aim between them so it will criss-cross spikes in the middle area and eviscerate whatever poor thing walks into it. It's also surprisingly cheap to cast, which makes it a good choice for mages who, say, stick with Meteor armor into early hardmode for its staggeringly high damage bonuses. In this scenario, life drain's other benefit (the boosted health regen) means more or less nothing since you'll be squishy as hell anyway. It is completely viable (if a bit difficult, since you'll be squishy) to massacre destroyer with this weapon and that prehardmode set, skip all hardmode ore mining, and then go right into OOA and get yourself the Apprentice's set, if that's your jam. 2: I'd raise bloodthorn's position as a contender against life drain a bit solely because it can be obtained easily in corruption worlds. While, yes, it is true that the same conditions active to get it (blood moon) are the same ones you need to get your other world evil (dryad + graveyard + blood moon) it can be very time consuming to farm for mimics from the other world evil, since they have to spawn naturally, and then you have to hope you actually get their drop, assuming you can even kill them. 3: Not related to the weapon itself, per-se, but if you're having trouble fighting the hemogoblin sharks, they are, ironically, FAR weaker in water than on land. It's actually wholly viable to outmaneuver it in the water. A very easy way to fight them is to use a reasonably large pool of water (I recommend AGAINST the ocean due to the probability of being swarmed by sharks and jellyfish) and make use of the *lava shark* mount. In the water, the hemogoblin shark has only one method of attack: swim very angrily towards you. On the lava shark, you can easily speed-tie the creature and swim circles around it while you pelt it with anything you want, making dealing with it remarkably trivial. What can I say, it's a shark-eat-shark world out there lol...

[@Sir_Danks-A-Lot]

My Hemogoblin shark strategy, as well as every enemy while fishing (except eel and nautilus), is to just box myself in completely with a trap door for a roof and platforms in the very corner to still send the fishing rod through. Also useful to have a wall at your backside so that you can fire at enemies blocked off at that point through the platform itself, assuming you aren't melee class at least

[@AltairTheGamer]

This is one of the weapons what get too much style points, but aren't exactly useful. Shame, I love this weapon.

[@sockrteez]

Haha yeah that’s one way of putting it!

[@cookiecutter8304]

opposite of megashark that's easily the most boring yet efficient and useful weapons in the game

[@punkazecke3881]

nah I love the thing

[@skylerfisher4347]

The bloodthorn for me has one exclusive usage that it performs well: Volcano Farms. If you build one of those huge underground farming things with the big hill with the lava inside, this weapon is perfect for quickly killing the enemies inside if you want to farm a bit faster than waiting for them to burn, and since the enemies are trapped in a small space with walls on the sides and bottom, it gives the thorn somewhere to project from. Even still, this use is almost pointless unless you're impatient and don't fancy waiting for enemies to die on their own.

[@Zigzorark]

Enemy: Approaches Me: Want to see a cool trick?

[@SmugPiccolo]

They actually buffed this weapon recently. It can deal more damage like crystal vine ( constantly ). Buffed damage and the size of the thorns. Despite being overpowered by other early hardmode weapons it still can be useful in caves and farming.

[@xenoticsam3299]

Sock's "of course I'm talking about the-" is always the first thing that comes in my mind every he posts something

[@purplehaze2358]

It's worth noting that, if you wanted to run forbidden armor and play a mage/summoner hybrid at the start of hardmode, this thing and the sanguine staff both dropping from the same event means it's a pretty good option to go for assuming you have a decent enough weapon to kill both hemogoblin shark and dreadnautilus.

[@nullcandyy]

I'd love to see a video on the aereal bane bow. It's an extremely underrated but wildly powerful post golem bow that blew me away in the dps department, despite its limited range. That flying enemy damage bonus absolutely shreds!

[@Boss_Big]

It's not underrated, the majority of Terraria players know what this weapon ls capable of. The only problem is that it comes from the OOA and the majority is to lazy to grind for it, overall is more than worth it. Also, thanks to the flying enemies bonus, you can easily farm DF and EoL

[@phoenixgoose8844]

one of my favourite weapons aesthetically

[@wowz9061]

I'm impressed that sock can still find stuff like this. Feels like he already talked about everything

[@JingleJohngle]

I hope you'll be able to bring all the underrated and forgotten weapons in terraria on the spotlight!

[@superequinox4185]

Bloodthorn might be better suited as a summoner weapon. The tendrils would act as whip hotboxes against enemies, allowing the user to whip enemies from further away (as long as they are near tiles anyways). Maybe it would have a special effect like other whips, but be able to apply it to an unlimited number of enemies, like a defence draining effect mirroring the shark tooth necklace

[@theegg4202]

Definitely going to try this on my Master Mode mage playthrough!

[@Word-2-Word-2Word]

I was doing a weapon randomizer and I got this weapon, I have loved it ever since

[@MastaDJMax]

Looks like more of a novelty weapon rather than something serious as it lacks versatility.

[@MasakixJurietto]

This gave me an idea for a play through via Master Mode...only blood themed weapons should be used, in order to progress! Imagine that: Crimson Rod, the Crimson themed items and weapons... It would be quite fun in having a wide variety of them from the Blood Thorn all the way to the Vampire Knives! Now that is a fun challenge to try.

[@titchymitchy56]

I love how its a obscure weapon but its talked about a lot because of how weird it is

[@DareMurdok]

Recently got this in my current playthrough , i don't have the life drain yet but I'll say the Blood Thorn is great in defensive farms since you can block yourself into a little house and attack through blocks

[@trissometv3068]

Been watching these videos for a while now and finally... a weapon I have no fucking idea existed is finally featured lmao. Keep up with the awesome Terraria content man!

[@fishman2233]

I was so excited about this weapon when i first found out about it back when 1.4 came out. too bad its drop rate was so bad that i never got it.

[@AaronReichert30]

You should look at the updated rainbow rod. Slam dunks on most all enemies in crowd control or single target scenarios

[@Doughnub]

I actually really like this weapon. I usually try to go for this weapon pretty much as soon as I get into hardmode. Usually takes a couple blood moons because of me getting 2 tapped lol

[@mluna1237]

I found a blood thorn in my current play though. I used it a lot in my artificial jungle biome because it was great at clearing out random plants and could take care of enemies in weird corners.

[@plagueknight3056]

I have gotten this weapon a couple of times but I never used cuz of the way you get it. There's also another magic weapon that you can try out it's called the *Leaf blower!*

[@Armegeothm]

This thing is my co-op buddy's favorite weapon. Even though there are far stronger weapons we got for her, she still cackles like a hyena whenever using it, purely because of the visuals- nothing else does this, and what it does is just so cool.

[@frostytheiceberg1127]

found 2 on accident during a blood moon (modded with some loot bonus in all fairness). Used it in the underground to yeet early hardmode enemies, was pretty useful. tossed it for the staff of earth though.

[@therealjome]

I want a burst kind of weapon, like when you hit a certain amount of shots it turns into a different, more explosive weapon. I'm imagining something like the crystal shard storm for the first phase and then something like the inferno fork for a 2nd phase. If the idea were implemented on a sword it would be kind of awesome, I'm imagining something with a 3 hit combo before you start swinging ferociously and stuff starts exploding like with the volcano (or perhaps when you are done with the first phase, the second phase shoots little projectiles like sparks in long, medium, and short ranges which explode after contact, time, or all at once!) And as for the art direction, I'm thinking the obtainment would be via the old one's army as a Betsy drop because it would be really cool to have a like black obsidian blade with lava in cracks of the blade, while having Betsy's head as the handguard, her wings as the outer handguard, and then scales as the grip. I knoe betsy already has a sword as a drop, but I don't really like Betsy's sword that much, the unique property of it is outclassed in damage at the point in the game, but if it shot faster, I'd think about using it because it is sick to shoot slashes of energy at multiple enemies.

[@okok-fs4qe]

I remember seeing this weapon on the wiki when I started playing. I really wanted it but then I realised how hard it is to get it and forgot about it. Thanks for reminding me

[@DexTag]

Uh I didnt even know this weapon existed lol

[@sockrteez]

Omg a Brotato Ytuber! I watch you all the time haha!

[@jackjragon4445]

I use this in my current Master mode Mage playthrough for the Destroyer fight as the first Mech boss. The weapon’s close range put me in danger of the Destroyer’s laser barrage and occasional probe bumping me into the destroyer’s head, Even with plenty of combat potions i ended up using a Meteor staff and gravity control when i was getting too low, Though this could have gotten better with Warding/tanky mage build instead of full Menacing DPS However it did help when exploring underground for souls, crystals shards, etc.

[@chicomanara]

After the update I play as a mage, as usual, and my go to weapon was Magic daggers, wich were surprisinly good after the buff. Before, I would try to fish a Crystal serpent, but now it looks like there are some viable options. The advantage of the shark is that you can cheese it with a box above the ocean, but blood moon fishing in early hardmode can be deadly, if you get a eel.

[@Shurmion]

[@julienbronsch5039]

Just defeated him yesterday in less than 2min with a normal excalibur (defeated prime before him). I did around 2.5k dps and just tanked through everything but the head, even though it was master mode

[@randumdood6554]

I like the video, but my problem came when It was compared to the life drain. Yes it is easier to obtain and it is better, and while the life drain does better against some bosses like the twins, and queen slime 2nd phase, it can do good damage to some. I went for a full mage build that's post mech, and fought plantera with a basic arena, and it worked quite well. I then got spectre armor and better mage items that are post plantera, and fought Golem. It took...awhile, but it did beat Golem. Meaning it does do decent against some bosses. Also Skeletron Prime is also fairly weak to the blood thorn as long as you build an arena! So some flying enemies work out just fine. This is even ithout mentioning Events! Events usually consist of grounded enemies more than aerial ones, meaning for Events like the pirate invasion, and goblin army, it also does fairly well.Even against the Old ones army, simply make long platforms about five blocks in the air the same size as your surface for fighting the OOA and go for it (at least for tier 2). Also what if it's a corruption world? I mean you can make a huge artificial crimson farm by putting the dryad in a graveyard and buying crimson seeds, but that will take much longer than getting the blood thorn. What I'm trying to say here is, it isn't bad, just situational, and if I were you, I'd keep one in my backup pocket just in case I needed to take care of a goblin army.

[@ravingdeath5182]

I usually rush blood moon fishing just so I can use this as long as possible. One of my favs

[@gyro_rella]

Sometimes I wish terraria had upgrade shards like in Dark Souls, so that you can use a normal mode weapon in Hardmode or in this context, a pre-mech boss weapon, allowing you to use it until endgame.

[@crazyraft6457]

Heyyy sockrreez love ur vids. Waiting for next one

[@VixYW]

I'm pretty sure you can ramp up the efficacy against flying bosses if you increase the layers of platforms in the arena. Having a layer that goes to both ends spaced out only 4 tiles above each other means there's nowhere they can fly to escape it.

Haven't tested it yet but I think this weapon could be great against flying bosses if you have a big enough arena. It's good single target dps paired with hitting the target almost instantly would make it a very consistent source of dps assuming your arena has enough platforms for the thorns to grow off of.
