The Vesuvius is a Hardmode wand that drops from Ravager. Its left-click attack is similar to the Meteor Staff; it calls down a swarm of molten asteroids that explode upon hitting a tile or an enemy. Its right-click attack launches several high-speed molten asteroids towards the cursor.

Any asteroid that strikes an enemy grants the Molten buff to the user for 6 seconds, which grants resistance to cold attacks similarly to the Warmth Potion.

Its best modifier is Mythical.

Notes

• The cold resistance granted from the Molten buff does not stack with the Frost Flare accessory or Warmth buff.

Trivia

• The weapon gets its name from Mt. Vesuvius, a volcano best known for the destruction and burying of the ancient Roman city of Pompeii.
• This used to be a Malice Mode-exclusive item prior to the 1.5.1.001 update.
