Master Mode



Master mode is an option that can be selected during world creation, and can also be turned on through the difficulty slider in Journey mode. It further increases the difficulty of the game beyond Expert mode, offering Master mode-exclusive items. Like Expert mode, Master mode begins the moment the Master mode world is created, and cannot be altered after that by the player. Master mode also drastically increases enemy health. Master mode gives the player one more accessory slot, meaning the the player can have a total of 7 accessory slots with the Demon Heart.

All Expert mode content is also available in Master mode.

Master Mode introduces new items that can be collected by defeating bosses, such as relics that can be placed to show off your victories against bosses, and 1 cosmetic item after killing the bosses which has a reduced chance to drop, as well as the Master mode exclusive Pets that have a 25.0000% drop rate.

Master-exclusive items

 * Bosses drop "Master mode" exclusive items similar to Expert mode, but they also drop their treasure bag, which contains the Expert mode items of the boss. Master Mode drops have a newly added rarity. This rarity flashes between light and dark orange.
