Hammush

Truffle trade and spore cloud dispersion

The Hammush is a specialty blunt utility weapon acquired by trading 40 gold coins with the Truffle NPC once a mechanical boss has been defeated. Each swing delivers 26 base melee damage and 7.5 knockback while releasing floating mushroom spore projectiles into the air. These lingering spores drift forward and damage approaching enemies, offering passive crowd defense while the player deconstructs background walls or shapes slopes.

Altar demolition potency and swing mechanics

Carrying 85% hammer power, this tool comfortably exceeds the eighty percent threshold needed to demolish Demon Altars and Crimson Altars, allowing players to seed their caverns with Hardmode ores. Unlike early Hardmode options like the Pwnhammer, the Hammush features greater striking power and projectile defense. Reforging to the Legendary prefix improves swing velocity and damage, though the Light prefix provides optimal speed for rapid wall removal during base renovations.

Trivia

• Swinging the tool spawns damaging mushroom spores identical to those produced by the Mushroom Spear.
• With 85% hammer power, it shatters evil altars across corrupted chasms.
