Demonite smithing and Shadow Orb demolition
Constructed from 10 Demonite Bar ingots and 5 Shadow Scale fragments, this heavy Corruption maul features 55% hammer power. It easily shatters chasm Shadow Orb conduits to summon the Eater of Worlds, trigger falling meteorite events, or unlock early firearms. The weapon swings with a broad sweeping arc, dealing 24 melee damage with 6 knockback to repel advancing cave bats, devourers, and subterranean predators.
Wall removal pacing and evil biome contrasts
Although slower than lightweight copper or silver hammers due to its 45 swing time, its extended tile reach speeds up large-scale background wall stripping, slope shaping, and house remodeling. In Crimson worlds, its counterpart is the Flesh Grinder, which shares identical hammer potency but delivers slightly higher base damage. Neither hammer can destroy altars before entering Hardmode.
Trivia
- Requires both Demonite Bars and Shadow Scales dropped by the Eater of Worlds.
- Possesses a broad swinging arc that aids in knocking back early flying enemies.
