Terraria Magic Weapons Guide

Intro

I’ve had a pretty long and storied history with the Terraria game. Many special gaming moments in my life came from this game. I remember the first time I beat Moon Lord and got that beautiful magic weapon many Terraria players sought: the Last Prism. It felt like defeating Mount Everest.

For more experienced Terraria players, weapon choice is essential for completing a playthrough. But for someone who has never played before, Terraria’s collection of weapons might seem overwhelming; After all, there are so many to get that a new player might not know where to begin.

In this Terraria Magic Weapons guide, I’ll explain all of the magic weapons in the world of Terraria. That’s right! I’ll be covering all of them. It’s going to be a lot of stuff, so hold on to your hats.

Description/Overview

In Terraria, magic weapons are weapons that consume mana and are ranged. Generally, magic weapons shoot damaging projectiles but are often very different from each other.

Another thing to note about magic weapons: summoning weapons don’t count. Although they do use mana, they do not fire any sort of projectile or cause damage on their own.

FAQs

Conclusion

Terraria just has so many things to offer, you know? It’s one of those games that you can get sucked into for hours and have a great time. I’ve had some good times with it, and I hope that you will (or have) too. Just so you know, that was only the magic weapons. I didn’t cover melee weapons or any of the other items in the game. I’d have to write an entire book to get everything!

If you’re new to the game and find all of this information daunting, don’t worry! Terraria will become natural to you quickly. Plus, it’s not like you’ll get every weapon or use every weapon in your playthrough (unless you really wanted to, at which point I’d commend you for your tenacity.)
