Underground Jungle



The Underground Jungle is one of the more difficult areas you can currently find in the world of Terraria. It is largely a dense network of small caverns, populated with thorns, water, and some of the more difficult enemies. It therefore take a long time to fully explore.

Shrines are common in this environment, often containing chests with rare items or weapons that can't be found anywhere else. Materials such as Stingers, Jungle Roses, and Vines can also be gathered here in abundance, for use in crafting rare items,.

As of patch 1.0.5 you can no longer recieve Jungle Armor from Hornets or Man Eaters. Instead, it must be crafted with gems and Jungle Roses.

Hunting the Jungle
With the 1.0.4 update, you can now find the Underground Jungle by finding the Surface Jungle and digging down.

In the patches previously to 1.0.3, the efficient way to find the Underground Jungle was to get a Depth Meter, travel to the farthest point on your map that is opposite to your Dungeon and depending on your map size, dig down to the appropriate depth, and start digging towards the opposite side. This could take a lot of time but it was guaranteed that you would find one. This no longer works in worlds that have been created after the update 1.0.3, Underground Jungles are no longer on the edge of your map, they are directly under your Surface Jungle.

Keep in mind, that it might be deeper on your world, but these are general numbers.
