Talk:Solar Eclipse

So is anyone else having trouble getting one of these to happen?

- Yeah, I need broken hero sword, but it only happened once in 40 hours of gameplay and I did not looted the sword. Does anyone know a good way to force blood moon or solar eclipse? Dart0711 (talk) 20:05, 4 October 2013 (UTC)

I just had a solar eclipse happen, but I haven't beaten any of the hardmode bosses yet. I did have the Destroyer spawn, but he killed me and de-spawned. So perhaps there's not actually a requirement to have beaten one for it to occur?
