Alchemy ingredients and reflective contact damage
Brewed at a placed Bottle or Alchemy Table, the Thorns Potion requires Bottled Water, Deathweed, and Cactus. Drinking it grants the Thorns buff for 8 minutes, causing any hostile creature that inflicts contact damage on the player to take damage in return.
Tactical deployment against swarming encounters
Because the reflected strike scales with incoming contact harm without reducing player injuries, this elixir pairs well with high-defense armor sets like Molten Breastplate or accessories that bolster survivability. It proves handy against segmented threats such as the Eater of Worlds and tightly packed invasion waves.
Trivia
- The Thorns buff lasts for 8 minutes and inflicts contact damage back onto attacking enemies.
