Published · measured on Terraria 1.4.5.8 worlds
Beginning a Summoner playthrough in Terraria can feel grueling during early mornings when players lack dedicated minion weapons. The Finch Staff resolves this bottleneck, providing a loyal avian companion that perches atop your character head and swoops down to assault slimes, zombies, and flying demon eyes. Because this summon weapon only generates inside Living Wood Chests concealed within giant hollow trees, seeds placing these colossal trunks next to spawn grant an ideal head start.
These four measured seeds feature surface living tree chambers containing the Finch Staff within walking distance of world spawn. You can trace tree trunks and trunk tunnels on the interactive map before beginning your summoner journey.

The baby finch automatically targets hostile slimes, zombies, and flying demon eyes while resting on your character head between combat engagements.

Questions
How does the baby finch minion attack enemies?
The baby finch perches on the summoner head and repeatedly swoops toward nearby hostile creatures, dealing summon damage without consuming extra mana.
Do Living Wood Chests always contain a Finch Staff?
No. Living Wood Chests can generate with a Living Wood Wand, Leaf Wand, or Sunflower Minecart instead, making confirmed staff locations valuable.
Can summoners command multiple finches simultaneously?
Yes. Drinking a summoning potion or wearing summoner armor boosts your minion capacity, allowing several finches to swarm hostile targets together.
