Discovered inside underground Gold Chests or crafted by combining a Wooden Boomerang with a Fallen Star by hand, the Enchanted Boomerang is a luminous throwing weapon. Thrown with a Very fast motion, it inflicts 17 base melee damage and heavy 8 knockback. The spinning blade sheds bright light particles as it flies, illuminating unexplored tunnels before returning to the thrower's hand.
Mid-game weapon crafting and boomerang comparison
The Enchanted Boomerang provides infinite throwing utility without using ammunition, making it ideal for checking dark chasms and repelling charging foes. Later in progression, it serves as a vital crafting ingredient: it can be forged into the multi-projectile Trimarang alongside other boomerangs, or upgraded into the blazing Flamarang using hellstone bars. Godly and Demonic are the best modifiers, maximizing damage, critical strikes, and knockback.
Trivia
The glowing projectile casts enough light to reveal ores embedded within nearby cave walls.
The crafting recipe combining a Wooden Boomerang and Fallen Star allows obtaining it without chest looting.
