Terraria: How to Craft The Mechanical Worm | Full Guide 2023

Defeating Bosses in Terraria is required once you spawn into the world. Its essence lies in the natural gameplay progression, bridging the Pre-Hardmode to Hardmode. Ultimately, new weapons and mounts become available, although it comes at a cost.

Going back to the Corruption biome is the pesky Eater of Worlds. In Hardmode, you’ll have to deal with its mechanical counterpart, the Destroyer. This journey of unlocking new content becomes more manageable with the Mechanical Worm, and we’ll tell you why in this easy guide.

What is a Mechanical Worm

The Mechanical Worm is an item used for summoning the Destroyer in Hardmode, although it still works when brought to a Pre-Hardmode world.

The Mechanical Worm works outside of the Corruption, unlike the Worm Food. However, you can only use the former at nighttime, while the latter can be used anytime. When used by day, the boss won’t appear nor consume the Mechanical Worm. Using it when the Destroyer is already summoned doesn’t do anything.

How to Craft a Mechanical Worm

In Hardmode, if the Destroyer is undefeated, the chances of enemies dropping this item are 0.04%, excluding statue-spawned enemies, Meteor Heads, and Old One’s Army enemies.

Alternatively, combine the following items at a Mythril Anvil or Orichalcum:

Rotten Chunk (6) / Vertebra (6)
Iron Bar (5) / Lead Bar (5)
Soul of Night (6)

Crafting

The Mechanical Worm is a key component in making the Ocram’s Razor – a boss-summoning item that spawns the Mechdusa in Get fixed boi and Don’t dig up world seeds.

Terraria Corruption Shadow Orb: All You Should Know

It’s over. Once the Corruption spreads to your World without a unique biome, you’ll be left with mostly hard-to-destroy enemies (considering you’re on Hardmode). Of course, you can opt to purify everything with the Clentaminator, but what if you don’t have the item?

Corruption, an evil biome, is prevalent among Terraria players because of the Eater of Worlds. Add Demonite Ores and Ebon blocks, and you’re done. However, one of the most intriguing materials in this biome is known as the Shadow Orb. While it summons the Corruption’s ultimate boss, there’s more of it.

In this guide, you’ll know everything about the Shadow Orb. What is it? What happens if you attack it? Will you get anything useful? We’ll answer all those questions down below!

Shadow Orb – Overview

Venturing below Corruption chasms will eventually let you encounter a purple spherical background object called the Shadow Orb. They’re destructible by any hammer or explosives and help you progress further. From the opposite end, the Crimson biome has Crimson Hearts. Same with Altars, where the purple light is flickering.

Reaching the Shadow Orb is the challenging part. Since Ebonstone Blocks are mineable using a Nightmare Pickaxe or better, digging is pretty difficult. However, it’s possible to tear through with explosives or purify corrupted blocks. Once exposed (assuming the Shadow Orb survives the initial contact), you can burst it with a Wooden Hammer.

Item Drops

There are excellent rewards you’ll get every time you pop the purple sphere. These are:

Item	Purpose	Chance
Shadow Orb (accessory) (1)	Light pet item	20%
Vilethorn (1)	Magic weapon that behaves like a Spear	20%
Ball O‘ Hurt (1)	A type of Flail for combat	20%
Band of Starpower (1)	Adds 20 more maximum mana to the player.	20%
Musket (1) and Musket Ball (100)	Simple firearm	20%

Destruction Process

By default, destroying Shadow Orbs will trigger a unique message about a warning about the Eater of Worlds.

By destroying one for the first time, it’s a guarantee to get Musket (1) and Musket Balls (100). New Terraria players will soon encounter the Arms Dealer since having a gun is a requirement for spawning the NPC. Alongside is completing one of two criteria to enable the Goblin Army Invasion.

It’s also noteworthy that the Traveling Merchant might sell the Revolver in this scenario.

Moving on to the next orb is nothing special. However, the final one spawns the Eater of Worlds. This gigantic segmented worm is the Corruption’s pre-Hardmode boss and is the Brain of Cthulhu’s easier counterpart.

Note: On old-gen versions, popping the purple sphere will result in an instantaneous crash of a Meteorite.
