The Sanguine Katana is a pre-Hardmode sword dropped by Blood Moon enemies. When pressing the ⚷ Open / Activate button with the Sanguine Katana, it will consume 80 health from the player, and inflict the Sanguine Sacrifice debuff for 8 seconds granting the Sanguine Katana an additional larger slash, 25% increased damage, and lifesteal of 4-7 health. The ⚷ Open / Activate ability cannot be used again while the player has the Sanguine Sacrifice debuff.

If ⚷ Open / Activate is used while the player is below 80 health, it will kill the player and display the unique death message "<Player name>'s soul has been entombed within a sword."

Its best modifier is Awestruck.

Tips

• The Sanguine Sacrifice debuff granted by the Sanguine Katana will also affect the Blood Barrage.
