Terraria's 1.4 update added a new class of Summoner weapons called Whips to Re-Logic's popular sandbox game, and indeed many players will want to give them a try. Fortunately, there are several Whips in Terraria 1.4, and they can be obtained in a variety of different ways. This will make it quite easy for fans to get their very own Whips, and this guide will detail the various options that area available to them.

To note, since Terraria's Journey's End update is relatively new it is very likely that more Whips will be discovered over time. As such, this is a snapshot of the Whips that are known at the time of writing, and players should certainly feel free to continue to explore and obtain more of these new weapons. With that established, here is a list of the Whips in Terraria 1.4 with details on how they are obtained:

With respect to how Whips in Terraria 1.4 work, it is worth mentioning that they are currently not capable of critical hits, and a player's minions will target any enemy that has been hit by one. Additionally, Terraria's Whips can have the same prefixes as Swords, with the Legendary modifier being the best of the bunch.

On the topic of Swords, a new final Sword was also added to Terraria in the Journey's End update, and it is called Zenith. While obtaining Zenith can be quite an effort, requiring players to combine nine different Swords, it packs a punch, and indeed many fans will prefer it to the Whips detailed in this guide.

Terraria is out now on PC, PS3, Xbox 360, iOS, PS Vita, PS4, Xbox One, 3DS, and Switch.
