NOTE -> These items are presented in no particular order.
Terraria Expert Mode Exclusive Drops
Welcome to our Terraria Expert Mode Exclusive Drops guide. There is a variety of boss drops that are only found in the Expert mode of Terraria. Here, you can check out the best of these exclusive drops.
We know that there are people who have a hard time finishing the Terraria game. If you are one of those who find it difficult to finish the game, let’s take you to our Terraria guide.
Shield Of Cthulhu
First up, we have the Shield of Cthulhu. This defensive item drops from the Eye of Cthulhu boss and is quite helpful if you plan on taking on tough bosses later in the game. Typically, the Eye of Cthulhu is one of the first bosses that you face in the game, due to its simple summoning requirements. As such, you can get this strong shield pretty early.
With this shield, you will gain the ability to do a dash attack. This essentially causes you to charge toward an enemy and deal damage. In addition to this attack, you will gain two defense while the Shield of Cthulhu is equipped.
Soaring Insignia
The Soaring Insignia drops from the Empress of Light, and provides an array of mobility buffs. With this, you will have unlimited flight time when you have Wings or Rocket Boots. Additionally, you will now have increased jump height, flying speed, and in-air mobility.
As you can see, this is an essential item for those of you who like to explore the sky. It’s important to note that this item really only works if you already have Wings. Interestingly, it does pair well with flying mounts, as they use this power too. Wings can be hard to obtain at times, but thankfully, we have a wing object later on our list.
Demon Heart
The Demon Heart is often considered one of the best Expert mode drops in the game. This item drops from the Wall of Flesh, who serves as the final boss before your world switches over to Hardcore. In general, this boss can be a pain to deal with, so if you are taking it on in Expert mode, it can be quite a challenge.
This is a consumable item that permanently gives you one accessory slot. Veteran Terraria players know that accessory slots are quite valuable; there are tons of accessories in the game, but you will only be able to equip a few.
Suspicious Looking Tentacle
The Moon Lord acts as the final boss of Terraria, and can often be quite difficult to defeat. You will need to follow the basic boss progression, improve your armor and weapons, and prepare an area to battle. After all this, you will need to face this giant Cthulhu. If you manage to do this on Expert mode, you will be rewarded with the Suspicious Looking Tentacle.
This is a type of pet that exposes any nearby enemies, treasure, pots, and ore. You may be thinking, “Aren’t there accessories that do that?”. This little tentacle is a pet, which means that it doesn’t take up an accessory slot.
Celestial Starboard
This is another item that drops from the Moon Lord. The Celestial Starboard looks like a star-shaped hoverboard and has the ability to carry you all throughout the skies. While it looks like a board, this is a Wing-type accessory, giving you the ability to fly and hover.
This isn’t just any ordinary Wing accessory though. With the Celestial Starboard, you can hover in place, boost upward, and travel at incredibly high speeds. It can also be combined with the Soaring Insignia, turning this into a shooting star… board.
Worm Scarf
What’s so good about a little scarf? Well, this scarf comes from the Eater of Worlds, and reduces the damage that you take. With the Worm Scarf, you will have your damage taken reduced by 17 percent. The accessory looks like a normal scarf, making it ideal if you are going for a minimal appearance as well.
While this may not sound like the most amount of reduction, it can be the difference between life and death. The Worm Scarf also stacks with other damage-reducing items (potions and accessories), so you can take even less damage.
Shrimpy Truffle
Lastly, we have the Shrimpy Truffle. This strange-looking item drops from Duke Fishron, who is an optional Hardmode boss that lives deep in the ocean. The item itself is actually a mount that can fly and hover forever.
With a mini Duke Fishron as a mount, you can travel through the skies and across water without worrying about falling down. When paired with the Soaring Insignia, you will have an epic mount capable of darting across the map in no time.
