Souls

Souls are Hardmode crafting materials dropped by enemies. There are a total of 6 souls (7 ); the most common are the Souls of Light and Night, and these two types of souls are dropped in the Underground Hallow and Underground Evil biomes respectively. Most of the remaining souls drop from the mechanical bosses.

Tips

 * An easy way to obtain Souls of Night and Light is to go to the Dungeon and spray Red/Purple/Blue Solution with the Clentaminator at different areas, converting the area into the respective evil biome. Because of the Dungeon's high spawn rate, it is possible to get a large amount of souls fairly quickly.
 * Another very effective way to farm Souls of Night and Light is to craft a Slime Crown and summon the King Slime in the appropriate underground biome. Each fight often yields over 20 souls from all of the slimes that are spawned.

Trivia

 * All of the Soul of... names rhyme with each other (-ight).
 * In the 1.3 trailer, the Soul of Light used its old texture.
 * Souls of Blight are the only souls without an animation, due to them being inaccessible in 1.3, the update which introduced animated soul sprites.
 * The definitions of the word "Blight" are a plant disease and a thing that damages something, both of which apply to the boss Ocram.
 * There is only one soul whose tooltip directly states the name of the enemy it is dropped from, the Soul of Might.
 * It is also the only soul that is obtainable pre-Hardmode.
