Basic diagram


Swords of Evil
The first sword you need to make the Night's Edge is called the Light's Bane/Blood Butcherer. Only read for more info on

It is crafted using 10 Demonite Bars at an Iron or Lead Anvil. You get Demonite Ore in a corruption world by, mining it, killing the Eye of Cthulhu, or the Eater of Worlds.

It is crafted using 10 Crimtane Bars at an Iron or Lead Anvil. In a Crimson world, you get Crimtane Ore by either mining it, killing the Eye of Cthulhu, or the Brain of Cthulhu.

Sword 2:
The second sword you'll need is called the Muramasa. The Muramasa is found sometimes in chests in the Dungeon, which can be found to the far right or the far left in your world. In order to get access to the Dungeon, you will need to beat Skeletron, or the Dungeon Guardian will come up to kill you.

Sword 3:
The third sword used to make the Night's Edge is called the Blade of Grass. It is crafted using 12 Jungle Spores and 15 Stingers at an Iron or Lead Anvil. You get Jungle Spores in the Underground Jungle, and they naturally spawn, emitting a lime green light. Stingers are sometimes dropped by Hornets in the Underground Jungle.

Sword 4:
The fourth and final sword, and most certainly the hardest to get, is the Fiery Greatsword. It is crafted using 20 Hellstone Bar at an Iron or Lead Anvil. You can get Hellstone Bars by smelting 3 Hellstone and 1 Obsidian at a. Hellstone is found naturally in the Underworld, found at the very bottom of your world. Be careful while mining for these as a mined Hellstone block WILL create a block of lava, and Obsidian is always right above lava.

Crafting Station
You will need to find a Demon or Crimson Alter

Although it is almost useless in the Wall of Flesh boss fight, (which you'll want grenades and ranged weapons for) it is useful throughout early Hardmode.
