The Nightglow is one of the weapons introduced in the Tides of Terraria update, bringing another crossover item that players can enjoy once they progress far enough in the game.
At first glance, the Nightglow appears to be an ordinary lantern, but it is in fact a powerful weapon inspired by Terraria that can unleash rainbow-colored crystals.
These rainbow crystals automatically home in on nearby enemies, allowing you to deal consistent damage over time and making the Nightglow easy to use in almost any combat situation.
How To Get Nightglow Schematic?
The Nightglow Schematic can be obtained as one of the possible rewards from chests located throughout the Sealed Realm of Terraria.
While most of the chests you encounter along the way tend to contain Hallowed Bars and other crafting materials, there is a small chance that a Nightglow Schematic may appear as loot.
Your best chance to obtain the Nightglow Schematic comes after defeating the Eye of Cthulhu, as the final two chests that appear near the exit portal have a higher chance of dropping it.
Nightglow Features
When the Nightglow is equipped, your character will hold it like a lantern, and attacking will cause it to emit several rainbow crystals in rapid bursts.
These rainbow crystals automatically home in on nearby enemies, prioritizing those that you are currently aiming at or engaging in combat.
While each crystal deals a modest amount of damage, the sheer number of projectiles and their accuracy allow the Nightglow to rapidly chip away at enemy health from a safe distance.
How To Get Legendary Nightglow?
The Legendary Nightglow is the most powerful version of the weapon and can be obtained through two primary methods in the late game.
Players can farm the Sealed Realm of Terraria to collect multiple Nightglow Schematics and combine them at a Drafting Table to create the Legendary version.
Defeating the Moon Lord (Master) also has a chance to drop the Legendary Nightglow Schematic, along with other Legendary Terraria weapon schematics.
Tips for Using Nightglow
Nightglow excels at long-range combat, allowing you to continuously damage enemies from a safe distance before they can reach or even notice you.
Combining Nightglow with the Terraprisma is a powerful strategy, letting your enchanted swords attack while you bombard enemies with homing rainbow crystals.
Nightglow deals noticeably more damage when you have the Hallowed Headgear equipped as your Head Armor, making it an excellent gear choice for maximizing its effectiveness in battle.
Verdict
Nightglow is an enjoyable and reliable weapon, offering an easy way to take down enemies from a safe distance with minimal effort.
Its homing projectiles focus on one target at a time, making it excellent for quickly eliminating priority threats during fights.
Higher-quality versions of Nightglow deal more damage and have increased durability, allowing you to rely on it for longer battles without frequent repairs.
