| Demon Bow | 8 × Demonite Bar | Iron Anvil |
Demonite bar archery and corrupt arrow fire
Crafted at an anvil from 8 Demonite Bars gathered by mining corrupted stone or defeating evil bosses, the Demon Bow offers unholy marksmanship. It converts standard arrows into swift ballistic volleys, dealing 14 base ranged damage with 1 knockback. Its fluid drawing motion enables rangers to kite surface predators and cavern crawlers while maintaining comfortable engagement distance. Archers exploring the Corruption can craft it early to comfortably clear aerial eaters of souls from long range before entering deep chasms.
Ranged pacing compared to tendon bow and unreal prefix
Operating with an 25 use time, this bow fires significantly faster than its Crimson counterpart, the Tendon Bow. Although the crimson variant possesses higher single-shot impact, the Demon Bow rewards archers using specialized ammunition like Frostburn Arrows or Jester Arrows. Rapid arrow velocity and frequent hits excel when puncturing multiple eyes during the Eye of Cthulhu fight. Pairing the weapon with archery potions pushes velocity and damage output even further. Securing the Unreal modifier guarantees peak ranged stats.
Trivia
- The bow frame features purple pulsating veins matching the unholy aesthetic of demonite ore.
