Trophy Hunter's Tricorn

The  is an equipment in Risk of Rain 2, introduced in the Survivors of the Void expansion.

The Tricorn cannot be activated in most circumstances; it can only be used when looking directly at any boss monster. In this case, a ghostly diamond-shaped reticle will appear over it. Activating the Trophy Hunter's Tricorn while this reticle is active will instantly kill that monster, and it will drop its corresponding boss item. The Trophy Hunter's Tricorn is then consumed, and changes cosmetically from having a ghostly incorporeal appearance to having a corporeal one.

Activating the Tricorn in its consumed state will send the message "Ahoy!" in the chat. This message has a cooldown of 60 seconds.

Tips

 * Since this item is single-use and has no use most of the time, giving it to an frees up the player's equipment slot. However, this means that the Equipment Drone will automatically execute the first boss enemy it can see, so if the player wishes to get a specific boss item they should use the Tricorn themselves.
 * This also means that, once the Equipment Drone has used the Tricorn, it will not do anything other than saying "Ahoy!" once every 12 seconds, making it nothing more than a flying distraction suitably similar to a parrot. An already consumed Tricorn can also be given to an Equipment Drone for this effect.
 * Using the item still puts the equipment slot on a 60 second cooldown, despite being single-use. Keep this in mind if you plan to swap to an offensive equipment just after using it.
