Possessed Hatchet

Autonomous homing throwing axe and erratic target tracking

The Possessed Hatchet is a melee weapon dropped by Golem inside the Jungle Temple with a 12.5% drop rate. It throws an enchanted hatchet that seeks out nearby enemies with rapid tracking agility. After striking a monster, the hatchet can ricochet toward other adjacent targets before returning back to the player grasp, dealing 80 base melee damage at Very fast speed.

Mobile boss evasion and safe range damage

The hatchet autonomous tracking allows players to focus entirely on dodging hazardous attacks without needing to aim precisely at agile targets like Duke Fishron or the Lunatic Cultist. While broad swords provide higher area coverage during wave events, the hatchet provides dependable single-target focus during intense boss encounters. Combining it with Beetle Scale Mail and the Fire Gauntlet ensures rapid damage cycles and persistent melee pressure. The best modifier is Godly.

Trivia

• The hatchet aggressively curves toward hostile targets and bounces between multiple enemies.
• Returns to the player after hitting targets or reaching its maximum flight distance.
