This article is about the enemy. For the Crimson-themed axe, see Blood Lust Cluster.

The Crimson Axe is a Hardmode enemy which in the Underground Crimson. It hovers and spins before lunging at the player, traveling through any blocks to reach them. Any knockback stops its attack, forcing it to pause and spin up again.

Notes

• Like most other enemies with the ability to pass through tiles, Crimson Axes are unable to spawn if the player is standing in front of valid housing walls.
• Like most other Crimson enemies, Crimson Axes can only spawn on top of Crimson grass, Crimstone, Crimsand, or Red Ice Blocks. They can do so even if the player is not specifically in a Crimson biome.

Tips

• The Arkhalis is an excellent weapon to deal with this enemy, as even a single hit forces to recharge its spin. In effect, the Arkhalis can act as a shield surrounding the player, completely impassable by the Crimson Axe.

Trivia

• The Crimson Axe shares the same sprite as the Blood Lust Cluster, minus the red glow.
