Dark lance

The Dark Lance is a spear that can be found in Shadow Chests in the Underworld. It is currently the strongest Pre-Hardmode spear. It can pierce through enemies, and even hit the same enemy multiple times. When used, it gives off light emitting particles that linger for a while, which is useful for fighting in the dark.

Its best modifier is Godly or Demonic. Both modifiers increase its average damage output by the same amount.

Notes[edit | edit source]

 * Just like the Gungnir has the color scheme of Excalibur, the Dark Lance seems to have the same color scheme as the Night's Edge.
 * This weapon is useful for finding caves due to its long reach and particles.

Tips[edit | edit source]

 * This item can be useful against The Hungry in the Wall of Flesh fight, due to its high damage and piercing capabilities.
