The Old Lord Claymore is a Pre-Hardmode melee weapon that is dropped by Bone Serpents. When used with its primary function (left-click), it swings forward with a custom animation. When used with its secondary function (right-click), the player holds the sword up and charges up for 1 second. After charging, the next use of the left-click attack causes the player to spin with the blade in the direction of the cursor, gaining 12 immunity frames when hitting enemies, and spawning a trail of cosmic stars. Cosmic stars home into enemies, deal 50% of the weapon's damage, and inflict the On Fire! debuff.

Its best modifier is Godly. It cannot get modifiers that affect size.

Tips

• This weapon offers incredible mid-air mobility for Pre-Hardmode, and can be obtained as soon as the player enters The Underworld. The right-click charge is fast and can be used in the air, even when being carried by the momentum of a previous spin, allowing the player to easily chain spins together to travel an infinite amount of vertical and horizontal distance in the air.
  • This allows it to surpass Gravitation Potions in terms of usefulness for sky exploration, as the Old Lord Claymore's spin requires no cost to use and even has greater horizontal speed.
  • When paired with Wings or other flying Mounts, this weapon's usefulness as a transportation tool extends well into early Hardmode.
