The Spicy Coaltana is a Tier 3, two-handed Sword. It deals Slashing and Spicy damage. The crafting recipe can be found in the EverChar Coal bag located above the BBQ Spill.

Upgrading the Spicy Coaltana to level 6 at a Smithing Station imbues it with the Finale Parry effect. After landing the 3rd hit in the attack combo, this effect slightly increases the perfect block timing window for 10 seconds. A successful perfect block during this time will increase the damage of the player's next attack by 25%.

Spicy Coaltana Event[]

To obtain the recipe, it needs to be obtained in a MIX.R-style battle around the sword, comprising entirely of Ladybird Larva. The raid starts when the button-prompt to "Pull" on the Coaltana is completed. If the sword is broken to the point of having no health left, the player will need to leave the bag to pull it again. If this step is not taken, the "Pull" prompt will simply read "No".

Strategy[]

For the event, maxed out Sizzle Protection is recommended as the hot coal in the middle of the bag will slowly heat up the player and will quickly start to kill the player without appropriate protection. A full set of Antlion Armor, Fresh Defense, and possibly a Quesadillantlion or Insulating Larva Spike are almost required to not instantly die. Mint Shards are also a valuable item to use so that the player can cool off in a pinch by eating them if needed.

The Ladybird Larva in the event will come in multiple waves and spawn underground. The larvae will emerge either to attack the sword or the player if they are nearby. The best strategy for dealing with them is attacking those that emerge near the sword, or those that are underground but closer to maximize the time they are not as dangerous underground. A Mint Mace is by far the best weapon for the larvae to exploit their weakness and easily kill them in a few combos. If you are having a trouble completing the defense event, you can put a Lean-To, or other bed, next to the entrance to the bag and set your spawn point.
