Crescent moon transactions in cavern caverns

Obtained from the subterranean Skeleton Merchant for 5 gold when encountered during Waning Crescent or Waxing Gibbous lunar phases. Landing a successful strike with any yoyo deploys a spinning green counterweight that circles the player. This kinetic orb inflicts damage equal to the striking yoyo while applying identical knockback force, clearing away secondary foes attempting to flank the combatant during subterranean mining trips.

String weaving and mechanical glove combinations

The extra projectile keeps tight underground tunnels clear of creeping spiders and cave crawlers without requiring constant weapon swaps. At a Tinkerer's Workshop, combining this weight with any dyed string crafts a Strung Counterweight. Merging that item with a Yoyo Glove constructs the comprehensive Yoyo Bag, allowing two yoyos and two counterweights to dominate close-range engagements.

Trivia

  • Equipping multiple distinct counterweights does not summon additional weights without the yoyo glove effect.
  • Placing the green accessory into a vanity slot changes the cosmetic color of active weights.
  • Counterweights despawn automatically as soon as the main yoyo returns to the player.
