Ectoplasm

Ectoplasm is a Hardmode endgame material. It drops in the Dungeon by killing a Dungeon Spirit. Dungeon Spirits release 1-2 Ectoplasm upon death. It is used to craft the Spectre armor and tools. To craft all Spectre equipment including the wings in the PC version the player needs to acquire 124 Ectoplasm and 114 Chlorophyte Bars.

Tips

 * Due to the difficulty of the Dungeon in hardmode, Hallowed Armor or higher is recommended when farming Ectoplasm.
 * As an end-game material, it may require many trips to the Dungeon to complete it.
 * Ectoplasm is a very good source of cash, as each piece of ectoplasm is worth.
 * If you have enough spare Souls of Flight, it may be desirable to craft Ghost Wings instead of simply selling the ectoplasm, as each set of wings is worth, while the components are worth.

Trivia

 * A fictitious ethereal substance appearing in games, movies, and books that ghosts, phantoms, and other entities leave in the mortal realm; usually when destroyed.
