Revving high-speed chainsaws during solar eclipses
The Butcher arrives during the Solar Eclipse event once all three mechanical bosses have fallen in a Hardmode world. Wielding a buzzing mechanical saw, this blood-spattered maniac charges straight toward players at elevated sprint speeds. Boasting 700 health in Classic (scaling up to 1,400 in Expert and 2,100 in Master) backed by 30 defense, he resists light knockback and closes gaps rapidly. Contact with his revving blade delivers an alarming 70 damage in Classic, and a devastating 210 damage in Master mode, capable of ending careless duelists in seconds.
Harvesting the butcher chainsaw and horror wardrobe
Defeating the Butcher is necessary for players seeking specialized melee tools and horror-inspired vanity. He drops the Butcher's Chainsaw at a 2.5% rate, a unique tool weapon that releases showers of fiery sparks upon shredding targets. Slaying him also offers chances to assemble his complete costume: the Butcher Mask, the Butcher's Bloodstained Apron, and the Butcher's Bloodstained Pants, each dropping at a 2% frequency. Collectors can also find the macabre painting A Machine for Terrarians at 1.67%.
Trivia
- The Butcher is a visual reference to iconic chainsaw-wielding villains from classic horror cinema.
- The Butcher's Chainsaw generates damaging spark particles when actively held against enemy hitboxes.
