Bone Glove

Dungeon boss relic and bouncing bone barrages

Obtained from the Treasure Bag dropped by Skeletron in Expert Mode or Master Mode. When equipped, swinging or firing any weapon periodically hurls a pair of crossbones toward the targeted cursor location. These thrown bones bounce off solid walls, pierce through up to 2 enemy targets, and inflict ranged damage with moderate knockback against advancing enemies during hectic underground skirmishes. The crossbone projectiles scale with generic ranged damage bonuses and pierce additional enemies when deflected off solid dungeon flooring.

Passive projectile coverage and late pre-hardmode synergy

The Bone Glove serves as an excellent supplementary damage accessory during the transition into the Underworld. Because the crossbones launch automatically while attacking, the glove pairs nicely with rapid-fire weapons like the Minishark or Bee Gun, adding passive crowd control in tight corridors. It provides reliable defense against swarming bats and Dungeon skeletons. Reforging to Menacing enhances projectile strike power, while Lucky raises critical strike frequency across prolonged fights.

Trivia

• The bone projectiles ricochet off solid surfaces, making them effective inside enclosed Dungeon corridors.
• Originally functioned as a consumable throwing weapon in version 1.3 before being reworked into an accessory.
