Mushroom Spear

Truffle purchase and lingering spore cloud trail

The Mushroom Spear is a Hardmode melee weapon purchased from the Truffle NPC for 70 gold coins after defeating at least one mechanical boss. It deals 60 base melee damage with 6.2 knockback. When thrust forward, the spear leaves behind a trail of glowing mushroom spores along its path. These spores linger in the air, pierce through solid tiles, and damage any enemy touching them.

Early Hardmode area denial and spear spacing

The lingering spore clouds grant the Mushroom Spear exceptional area denial against swarming ground enemies, worm-type monsters, and foes trapped behind blocks. It acts as an upgrade over earlier spears like the Titanium Trident due to its multi-hitting spore trail. Equipping melee speed and damage accessories such as the Fire Gauntlet enhances spore density and spacing control. Because spears cannot receive melee speed prefixes that alter their length, the best modifier is Godly.

Trivia

• Purchased from the Truffle once any mechanical boss has been defeated in the world.
• Spawned mushroom spores can pierce through solid terrain and damage monsters behind blocks.
