Enchanted Sword Shrine



An Enchanted Sword Shrine is a terrain feature that generates as a small cave below the surface layer. There is a chance that it will have a 1 block shaft leading down to the top of the cave. The cave's background is made of Flower Walls and it features a small hill with pools of water on either side. Atop the hill rests a breakable background sword sprite.

Although the shrines are not guaranteed to be generated in a world, the shrine will always contain a real sword sprite or a 1 in 3 chance of being a real sprite. Real sword sprites have a 9/10 chance of dropping the Enchanted Sword and a 1/10 chance of dropping the Terragrim /  Arkhalis.

They generate at least 20% of the map width away from the world's center in the surface or underground layer, below any biome that has a surface layer made of dirt and stone.

Enchanted sword shrines are now much more rare and worlds aren't guaranteed to generate one.

Tips

 * The shaft can be revealed by light particles that fall downwards through blocks. There are many weapons which spawn projectiles of this kind, for instance, the Dark Lance, Starfury, Jester's Arrow, Meteor Staff, Solar Eruption, Zenith or Flying Dragon. Some enemy projectiles can also reveal the shaft, e.g. those fired from the Goblin Sorcerer.
