The Light's Anguish is a craftable, non-consumable throwing weapon that can autofire. It throws dark daggers that are not affected by gravity, can pierce one enemy, and inflict the Light Curse debuff onto hit enemies.
Like most non-consumable throwing weapons, using this weapon builds up an exhaustion meter that appears below the player. Not using the weapon will make the meter slowly go back down. However, if it becomes completely filled, the user will be inflicted with the Exhaustion debuff, causing all non-consumable throwing weapons to deal massively decreased damage for some time. The meter resets after the debuff ends.

Notes
- Aesthetically, Light's Anguish is very similar in color and style to Night's Edge, Eternal Night, Light's Lament, and Falling Twilight.
- It is also similar to these weapons as it is crafted at an Altar using the four throwing weapons found or crafted with materials from the four main biomes of the world: Corruption, Jungle, Dungeon, and Underworld.
- Light's Anguish has a Crimson counterpart, Embowelment, which uses Crimtane Tomahawks instead of Demonite Tomahawks as a component.
