Demonstration of the Scourge of the Cosmos's interaction when shot at tiles and a Super Dummy, with homing mini-Devourers spawning upon impacts. Note that the mini-Devourers can either split away from the Super Dummy or damage it immediately, depending on the angle of contact.

The Scourge of the Cosmos is a craftable post-Moon Lord melee weapon that is a direct upgrade of the Scourge of the Corruptor. When used, it throws a mini scourge head that travels a moderate distance before being affected by gravity and bounces twice before dissipating. On each bounce, it releases a mini cosmic scourge that flies and homes on nearby enemies, bounces once, does not pierce, and can deal damage a second after spawning. On the first and second bounces, the scourge head releases 1-2 cosmic scourges and upon hitting a tile after the second bounce, it releases 3-4 cosmic scourges. If the scourge head directly hits an enemy, it dissipates immediately into 3-4 cosmic scourges. The cosmic scourges deal 75% of the main projectile's damage.

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

Notes

• If the Scourge of the Cosmos impacts an enemy directly, every mini scourge head spawned will often immediately damage that enemy.

Trivia

• This weapon, the projectile it fires, and the mini cosmic scourges are all themed after The Devourer of Gods.
