The Flamsteed Ring is a craftable post-Moon Lord developer summon weapon. When used, the player is turned into a giant controllable robot. While mounted, most of their weapons are transformed into attacks. The attack type is determined by the top button on the interface, which is summoned by right-clicking while the item is held; the crescent symbol spawns a massive slash from the bot towards the cursor which rapidly hits all targets within the area for 5200 damage, and the crosshair symbol fires a set of three lasers which deal 4200 damage and pierce infinite enemies. The player can transform into a player-sized version of the bot by clicking the left bracket, which can be transformed back to the large version by clicking the right bracket. While in the small transformation, certain tools such as Grappling Hooks are enabled, the slash's damage is lowered to 1897, and the amount of lasers per fire is reduced to one. Clicking the bottom-right button turns the player into a lightning jet which is controlled by the cursor and transforms the player back into a robot upon tile collision.

Left-clicking while the Flamsteed Ring is held will dismount the player. If the user dismounts while a boss is alive, they gain the Andromeda Cripple debuff, crippling their movement and disabling the use of the item in the duration of the debuff.

Its best modifier is Ruthless. The Mythical modifier provides the widest array of stat bonuses, but these primarily affect the initial summon rather than the resulting minion. Additionally, minions cannot deal critical hits. The only lasting advantage a Mythical Flamsteed Ring has over a Ruthless one is knockback.

Notes

• The phrase in the tooltip "Now, make them pay" is written in light blue (#87CEEB ●).
• Summon and Classless weapons are exempt from transforming into unique mech attacks. However, unlike the Profaned Soul Crystal, mining tools such as pickaxes cannot be used while the player is in any form of the robot.
• While the player is in the large transformation, their own minimap icon disappears.
• While the player is in the small transformation, the Andromeda buff icon changes to the Andromeda Small buff icon.
