Upgrading to an Adamantite Drill or Titanium Drill isn't crucial, as it does not grant access to any new ores.īe mindful when opening chests. The first 30 Adamantite/Titanium ore mined should be used to create an Adamantite Forge or Titanium Forge. The Mythril Drill and Pickaxe (and their Orichalcum counterparts) can mine Adamantite/Titanium. The first Mythril/Orichalcum ores mined should be used to craft a Mythril/Orichalcum Anvil and then a Mythril Drill (or their Orichalcum counterparts). The Cobalt Drill or Pickaxe and its counterpart can mine Mythril/Orichalcum.
SHARDLIGHT TOO HARD UPGRADE
This biome has the same mobs as it did pre-Hardmode, making it considerably safer than almost anywhere else in the world.Īim to upgrade to a Cobalt Drill or Palladium Drill (or their pickaxe equivalents) as quickly as possible. If the player finds they are having difficulty mining, they should consider looking for ores in the ceiling of the Underworld. It can be very difficult to survive long enough in Hardmode biomes to mine enough ore. Stay away from this biome unless you need an emergency supply of Glowing Mushrooms or Mushroom Seeds. If you are exposed to the biome directly, you may be hit by the Fungi Bulb's attacks, which are very small but deal a lot of damage. Otherwise, the new enemies are comparable to those of other underground biomes, and their attacks, especially those of the Giant Fungi Bulb, can be very dangerous. The player can find Truffle Worms in this biome, which are used to summon Duke Fishron. Recommended Equipment: Mythril or Palladium Ironskin Potions and Regeneration Potions Monsters: Fungi Bulb, Anomura Fungus, Mushi Ladybug, Giant Fungi Bulb, Fungo Fish Be wary, however, that even they will inflict high amounts of damage, so ranged and/or high knockback weapons are recommended. You can use the Lifeform Analyzer to tell when these enemies are near. The Mimic will also spawn underground here, and if you can, attempt to take some down. They sometimes drop Armor Polish, which prevents the debuff and will be very helpful later on. Consider returning to town and talking to the Nurse if hit by the debuff. However, don't underestimate the new monsters in this biome: the Armored Skeleton's "Broken Armor" debuff is particularly lethal. It's for this reason that this biome is one of the ideal biomes for mining hardmode ores. This biome is very dangerous, but it is less dangerous than the Underground Corruption, Crimson, and Hallow. Recommended Equipment: Molten, Molten Pickaxe Mimic Drops: Dual Hook, Magic Dagger, Titan Glove, Philosopher's Stone, Cross Necklace, Star Cloak Monster Drops: Armor Polish, Beam Sword (rare), Magic Quiver, Marrow,

New Monsters: Armored Skeleton, Skeleton Archer, Giant Bat, Digger, Angler Fish (water), Green Jellyfish (water), Mimic There's diminishing returns on this: after you've smashed your first three altars, generating that amount of ore again requires you to smash a further nine (12 total), then 21 (33 total).Īlso note, however, that each altar destroyed may spawn a new block of Ebon/ Crimstone, or Pearlstone somewhere in the world, causing the respective biomes to spread from another location. The pattern will repeat with additional altars destroyed, spawning more Cobalt or Palladium, then more Mythril or Orichalcum, then more Adamantite or Titanium.

The second altar destroyed will spawn Mythril / Orichalcum.The first altar destroyed will spawn Cobalt / Palladium.Every time you destroy an Altar, ore will be generated in various places underground, spawning more densely at lower depths. You’ll have to smash a few Altars with the Pwnhammer to make it appear. But first, you’ll need to make a detour because none of that new ore actually exists yet.

You will have to return underground in search of ores to get some decent gear. Starting Hardmode is very difficult: you’re underequipped and almost everything is stronger than you. 6.1 Recommended Equipment for Mechanical Bosses.
