Swords of Evil
The first required sword for the Night's Edge is called the Light's Bane/Blood Butcherer, depending on the evil biome that the player's world has.

It is crafted using 10 Demonite Bars at an Iron or Lead Anvil. the player can get Demonite Ore in a corruption world by mining it, or by 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, the player can get Crimtane Ore by either mining it, or by killing the Eye of Cthulhu, or the Brain of Cthulhu.

Sword 2:
The Muramasa can be found in the locked golden chests of the Dungeon, which can be found to the far right or the far left in the player's world. The side with the Snow Biome always has the Dungeon. In order to get access to the Dungeon, the player will need to beat Skeletron, or the Dungeon Guardian will come up to kill the player.

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

Tips

 * The Night's Edge can help with destroying the Hungry during the Wall of flesh fight. Attacking the boss directly is not recommended.
 * In hardmode, enemies have much more defense and health. A strong sword like the Night's edge can be very helpful for keeping enemies like wraiths and armored skeletons at bay.
 * The Night's Edge can be further upgraded into the True Night's Edge, which is stronger and shoots a projectile.
