Bacon is a consumable food item dropped by the Hardmode enemy Pigron, or occasionally by the Pigronata item. Using Bacon grants the Exquisitely Stuffed buff for 24 minutes or the Well Fed buff for 30 minutes.

Like all other food items, it can be placed on a PlatePlate: Bacon (on Plate).

Notes[]

  • The Pigronata has a chance to drop Bacon even in Pre-Hardmode.
  • In terms of duration and effects, it is the second best food item in the game, tied with the BBQ Ribs and only behind the Golden Delight.

Tips[]

  • If the player has enough money for it, consider buying Pigronata in bulk and breaking them, as the Bacon that they drop will grant huge stat boosts for the duration of an entire in-game day. It is also arguably easier to get compared to the BBQ Ribs or the Golden Delight.
    • However, the effective cost per piece of getting Bacon this way is considerably higher than the 10 foregone by using (rather than selling) a Golden Delight, which can be crafted from any Golden Critter and has twice the duration of Bacon. (See the Pigronata page for full analysis.)
    • Before 1.4.2.3, if you make the Party Girl happy enough (and/or use a Discount Card) you can actually buy Pigronata for less than their average coin drop, resulting in unlimited Bacon (if you have enough gold to get about 10 Pigronatas to start with).
