Ragged Caster drop and homing lost soul projectile
Dropped by the Ragged Caster in slab-walled chambers of the post-Plantera Dungeon. Firing the staff discharges a glowing lost soul projectile that moves with high velocity and aggressively tracks towards nearby targets. It strikes for 65 base magic damage with 6 knockback at a use time of 24, expending 15 mana per attack to maintain steady magical pressure.
Agile boss tracking and Spectre set pairing
The soul projectile can pierce up to 3 individual enemies before dissipating, granting reliable multi-target damage while keeping agile airborne adversaries under relentless pressure. Because of its reliable homing accuracy, it serves as an excellent choice against fast-moving bosses such as Duke Fishron and Plantera. Pairing this staff with Spectre Mask doubles down on tracking projectiles by spawning additional homing soul bolts. The best modifier is Mythical.
Trivia
- The projectile shares its visual appearance with the white floating souls cast by Ragged Casters in the Dungeon.
- Each soul projectile can pierce up to 3 separate enemies while maintaining active homing tracking.
