Galloping charges across the surface hallow

The Unicorn is a majestic horned quadruped that gallops across the surface Hallow in Hardmode. Boasting 400 life and 30 defense, it accelerates to high sprinting speeds across flat terrain, ramming into players with 65 contact damage in Classic, scaling to 130 in Expert and 195 in Master. Its forward momentum gives it considerable knockback resistance while charging.

Harvesting unicorn horns and blessed apples

Stopping a charging Unicorn requires rapid knockback fire or elevated platforms that keep players above its ground charge lane. Slaying Unicorns guarantees a Unicorn Horn at 100%, an essential material for crafting Holy Arrows, Super Healing Potions, and the Rainbow Rod. They also drop the Blessed Apple mount at a 2.5% rate, granting players their own galloping unicorn mount.

Trivia

  • The Blessed Apple dropped by Unicorns summons a rideable unicorn mount capable of double jumps and ramming charges.
  • Unlike wild unicorns, the mount version deals damage to enemies upon reaching maximum gallop velocity.
