Mythril Ore



Mythril Ore is an ore that appears in the world every two Demon Altars or Crimson Altars that have been destroyed in the cycle in which hard-mode ores are spawned. Demon or Crimson Altars can be destroyed only after the Wall of Flesh has been defeated and by using a Pwnhammer or greater. Doing this without defeating it first will result in the player's health divided in half each attempt.

Mythril Ore is colored grayish-green and can be found all throughout the Cavern layer. It cannot be mined with Molten Pickaxes. This mineral can only be mined by a Cobalt Drill or higher. To craft all Mythril equipment, the player needs to acquire 180 bars, or a total of 720 ore.

Mythril may be replaced with Orichalcum in your world. Mithril Ore can be found in Wooden Crates even if your world has Orichalcum.
