Crimson Heart

Crimson Hearts are floating, pulsing red hearts found deep in the branches of the Crimson. Each generated World has several Crimson Hearts, and destroying several of them is a crucial step in game advancement. This can be done using any Hammer, or Bombs/Dynamite. Crimson Hearts release a fair amount of their own flickering light, similar to Demon Altars, which helps players spot them underground.

Crimson Hearts are usually located at the ends of the branches that split from the main circular room, separated from the main branch's cavity by some amount of solid Crimstone, and are also surrounded by Crimstone on all sides.

Crimson Hearts are the variation for Shadow Orbs in worlds with Crimson instead of Corruption. Like Shadow Orbs, the third one destroyed will summon a boss, the Brain of Cthulhu.
