How to Make a Molotov Cocktail in Terraria

The molotov cocktail is a ranged expendable weapon in the 2D action-adventure sandbox game, Terraria. This weapon is excellent for use at a short to medium range. When hitting an object, it will explode and release flaming embers. These embers deal damage and inflict the On Fire! debuff. It is a popular pre-hard level weapon thanks to its high damage output and ability to deal fire damage. 

So, how do you craft this fine piece of explosive weaponry?

Crafting Recipe:

Old Version:

• 10 pieces ale
• Silk
• Torch

New Versions:

• 5 pieces ale
• Pink Gel
• Silk
• Torch

The Molotov cocktail is quite difficult to craft. This is because Pinky needs to be defeated in order to obtain the required Pink Gel ingredient. Pinky only has a 1/180 chance of spawning in place of a regular slime.
