Along with this it is one of the best weapons for farming the Brain of Cthulhu in pre-Hardmode, as well as the Eater of Worlds to a lesser extent.
* Due to the nature of Dungeon generation in the special seed 05162020, it is possible to encounter Dungeon enemies pre-Skeletron, allowing summoners to craft this Whip very early.
* The Spinal Tap paired with Obsidian Armor and damage and/or summon count boosting accessories can singlehandedly make it one of the strongest weapons in the entire game for pre-Hardmode faring well into Hardmode even after the Obsidian Armor was heavily nerfed in 1.4.1.2.
