The Trident is a type of spear found in Water Chests, and Ocean and Seaside Crates, and by throwing a spear into Shimmer. It has slightly more base damage than the Spear.
If the Trident is held while submerged in water or lava, the player moves faster through that liquid and has an increased jump height. This does not work in honey. In addition, the trident emits light when swung underwater
Its best modifier is Godly or Demonic. Both modifiers increase the average damage output by the same amount.

Notes[]
- In Celebrationmk10
worlds, the Trident can be found with the normally-incompatible Legendary modifier. The size boost will not take effect, though it is still the best modifier possible.
Tips[]
- On the PC version, Console version, Mobile version, and tModLoader version, the Trident has the same damage as The Rotted Fork. Although it inflicts more knockback, it lacks the range of The Rotted Fork. However, on Desktop only, it increases aquatic mobility making it a viable side-grade to The Rotted Fork in certain situations.
Trivia[]
The Trident’s appearance in Water Chests, as well as the extra mobility in water that it grants, is a reference to it being the weapon of both Poseidon, the Greek god of the sea, and his Roman counterpart, Neptune.
