The Ball O' Hurt in action.

The Ball O' Hurt is a type of flail that is obtainable by destroying a Shadow Orb, or by looting a Corrupt Crate that is obtained by fishing in the Corruption. It also emits small particles similar to those of other objects in the Corruption.

It is particularly useful when fighting worm-type enemies or the Eater of Worlds boss, since it does relatively constant damage to the multiple segments.

Like any other flail, the player can hold down the ⚒ Use / Attack button to flail it around the character, damaging nearby enemies with minimal knockback and half the damage. If the button is released during this action, the flail will be thrown. If the button is pressed/held while the flail is in mid-air, it will drop to the ground.

Its best modifier is Godly or Demonic. Both modifiers increase the average damage output by the same amount.

Trivia[edit | edit source]

The Crimson flail counterpart of the Ball O' Hurt is the Meatball. However, it is crafted rather than looted. Its Crimson Heart melee weapon counterpart is The Rotted Fork.
A rather humorous modifier for this weapon is "Hurtful", making it the "Hurtful Ball O' Hurt".
