The Rotted Fork is a spear that drops from Crimson Hearts found in Crimson chasms, and can also be obtained by opening Crimson Crates which are found by fishing in the Crimson.

Its best Modifier is Godly.

Notes

• The Rotted Fork is the counterpart to the Corruption's Ball O' Hurt, as the Ball O' Hurt is the melee weapon drop from Shadow Orbs and also boasts a relatively long range and piercing capability.

Tips

• It is a very effective weapon against the Brain of Cthulhu, as it can easily kill the Brain's minions in the first phase and knock it back in the second phase.

Trivia

•     Modifier prefixes are added in front of the "The" in its name, resulting in a grammatically incorrect name, such as "Legendary The Rotted Fork". It shares this trait with all other items that can possess Modifiers and whose names begin with "The". This error is not present in the  Old-gen console version.
• Despite appearing to be a weapon made of Crimtane Bars and Tissue Samples, it is uncraftable.
• It resembles a real-world Guandao, a type of Chinese pole weapon that's used in a few forms of Chinese martial arts.
