Terraria’s expansive universe recently expanded with the Bigger & Boulder Update. For summoners, this major patch is a game-changer, as it introduced a fresh arsenal of whips to help reshape their adventures. So, enter a new era of creative, tag-team combat with the Terraria Update 1.4.5 as we look into the new whips.

All New Whips in Terraria 1.4.5

Terraria Update 1.4.5 introduced nine new whips. Some of these new options can be obtained in Pre-Hardmode. However, some whips are Hardmode exclusive. For instance, getting one of the strongest whips in the game now requires you to defeat the canonical last boss of Terraria, the Moon Lord.
