Whether you're battling mobs in dungeons or trying to complete Slayer quests, the right weapon makes all the difference. In Hypixel Skyblock, the Flower of Truth (FOT) has gained attention as a powerful Legendary Dungeon Sword crafted with Ancient Roses. This guide will delve into everything you need to know about the Flower of Truth, including its crafting, usage, essence crafting, and tips to maximize its potential.

Obtaining the Flower of Truth

To craft the Flower of Truth, you'll need 9 Ancient Roses. These can be obtained from Dungeon Post-Boss Chests or as a rare drop from Woke Golems in Catacombs Floor 6.

Crafting

Once you've gathered your Ancient Roses, crafting the sword is quite straightforward, following the standard sword crafting mechanics in Minecraft.

Usage: More Than Just a Melee Weapon

The Flower of Truth serves as both a melee weapon and a ranged weapon with its unique item ability. It shoots a rose that travels up to 20 blocks, homing in on enemies after traveling 5 blocks. The homing rose bounces off enemies, doubling and tripling its damage with each subsequent bounce. It is important to note that you must complete Catacombs Floor 6 to unlock its usage.

Ability Specifications

  • Cooldown: 1 second
  • Mana Consumption: 10% of user’s maximum mana
  • Damage: Calculated the same way as melee damage, not affected by Intelligence or Ability Damage.

Enhance your Flower of Truth by investing Wither Essence. Here's a breakdown of essence requirements for each level:
