![]() Players about to enter Hardmode may benefit by mining paths to several known altars beforehand, as navigating Hardmode Corruption/Crimson is dangerous at first.Wherever the player has set up their base, it is recommended to begin searching near 0 depth, and upon finding an altar, build a room around it so the player can craft in relative peace. It is not uncommon to find an altar relatively close to the world spawn point.Altars emit a faint glow, making them somewhat easier to find in unlit areas.Smash a demon or crimson altar, using the Pwnhammer. Block Swap can be used to replace the blocks underneath an altar, even in pre-Hardmode.This can be seen at the Ocean floor, where altars can sometimes be found. Altars encountered outside of the Corruption/Crimson on a given map will always be found at a depth of around 8 feet or above.Altars being spawned on top of sand or slush and mining the blocks below them does not break them and instead causes the blocks normally affected by gravity to stay under the altar.Altars being destroyed this way prior to Hardmode will have no effect. Altars can be destroyed through other phenomena, such as being struck by a meteorite landing.Additionally, smashing an altar will allow mechanical bosses to spawn naturally (if said boss has not been defeated before it will spawn with a 10*1/10 (10%) chance each night), and random Pirate Invasions (if all the criteria are met).Ī Demon Altar that spawned in a Crimson world.Each time an altar is destroyed, one or two Wraiths spawn, regardless of the time of day.No matter how many altars are destroyed, ore rarity remains set with Cobalt/Palladium being the most common, followed by Mythril/Orichalcum, then Adamantite/Titanium as the rarest.Notice that although each subsequent destroyed altar will yield less ore, the total amount is unbounded (except by the number of altars in a world). Destroying 12 altars will roughly double the ore provided by the first three tripling that original allotment would require destroying 33 altars. For example, destroying the 19th altar would yield one-seventh of Cobalt/Palladium Ore compared to the first altar. So, the n th cycle will only generate one-n th as much ore as the first one. Subsequent altars destroyed will begin the cycle again, though the fourth to sixth altars will spawn half as much ore as the first ones, the seventh to ninth will spawn only one third of the ore of the first ones, and so forth.Old-gen console, Windows Phone, Old Chinese, 3DS, tModLoader, and tModLoader Legacy only: Destroying altars will randomly spawn an Evil block.The same goes for Mythril/Orichalcum with the second altar, and Adamantite/Titanium for the third. For example, it is not determined if the world has Cobalt or Palladium until the first altar has been smashed. ![]() Which ores are generated is not determined until the first, second, or third altar is smashed.A world with Palladium Ore deposits will never spawn Cobalt Ore deposits, or vice versa (with the exception of drunk worlds ). Destroying more altars will never spawn Hardmode ore types beyond the three that were randomly assigned to the world during the initial round of destroyed altars.They will spawn at random locations in varying quantity, in places explored and unexplored alike. Players will be able to find these new ores scattered across the Underground layer to near- Underworld levels, with them replacing most blocks created during world generation. Third altar: Adamantite Ore or Titanium Ore, chosen randomly.Second altar: Mythril Ore or Orichalcum Ore, chosen randomly.First altar: Cobalt Ore or Palladium Ore, chosen randomly.Each destroyed altar will spawn a Wraith and causes one type of Hardmode ore to appear in the world, with the appropriate status message displaying in the chat: " Your world has been blessed with !" After the Wall of Flesh has been defeated in a world, altars can be destroyed with any tool that has a hammer power of at least 80% (typically the Pwnhammer).
