Not to be confused with Hel-Fire.

Hellfire Arrows are a type of ammunition which creates a small explosion upon impact similar to Grenades, damaging everything in the area (   except the player). These arrows can be very useful against tight packs of enemies and worms such as Bone Serpents, as the explosion may damage multiple segments.

Hellfire Arrows cannot be recovered once fired. They have a noticeably higher velocity than other arrows, meaning that they travel quickly through the air once fired.

They can be found in Shadow Chests and Pots in The Underworld, crafted at an anvil, or purchased from the Demolitionist for 100*1  each, once the Wall of Flesh has been defeated.

Tips

• Hellfire Arrows can be used with the Chlorophyte Shotbow or with the Tsunami for heavy area damage.
•   The sell price of the Hellstone Bars required to craft only 25 of these arrows is equal to the purchase price of 40 of them. It is more efficient to sell the bars and buy the arrows from the Demolitionist during Hardmode.
