Not to be confused with Undead Viking.

The Armored Viking is a Hardmode enemy found in the Ice biome. They are similar to Undead Vikings, but with greatly increased defense, damage and life.

Notes

• The Armored Viking will decrease the Undead Viking spawn rate once in Hardmode. This can make the Viking Helmet much rarer.

Trivia

The Bestiary entry for the Armored Viking: "The most elite vikings were worthy of the strongest armor. It seems that it wasn't terribly effective, given their state now."
