Sword 1: Light's Bane / Blood Butcherer[]

Swords of Evil[]

The first required sword for the Night's Edge is called the Light's Bane/Blood Butcherer, depending on the evil biome that the player's world has.

Light's Bane[]

It is crafted using 10 Demonite Bars at an Iron or Lead Anvil. the player can get Demonite Ore in a corruption world by mining it, or by killing the Eye of Cthulhu, or the Eater of Worlds.

Blood Butcherer[]

It is crafted using 10 Crimtane Bars at an Iron or Lead Anvil. In a Crimson world, the player can get Crimtane Ore by either mining it, or by killing the Eye of Cthulhu, or the Brain of Cthulhu.

Sword 2: Muramasa[]

The Muramasa can be found in the locked golden chests of the Dungeon, which can be found to the far right or the far left in the player's world. The side with the Snow Biome always has the Dungeon. In order to get access to the Dungeon, the player will need to beat Skeletron, or the Dungeon Guardian will come up to instantly kill the player. These chests can be opened with Golden Keys which can be found in chests and pots in the dungeon or can be dropped by certain dungeon enemies.

Sword 3: Blade of Grass[]

The third sword used to make the Night's Edge is called the Blade of Grass.

15 Jungle Spores, 3 Vines and 12 Stingers (15  Old-gen console 3DS) at an Iron or Lead Anvil. the player can get Jungle Spores in the Underground Jungle, where the plants naturally spawn, emitting a lime green light. Stingers are sometimes dropped by Hornets and Spiked slime in the Underground Jungle. Vines have a 50% chance of being dropped by Man Eaters in the Underground Jungle.

Sword 4: Volcano[]

The Volcano Is crafted using 20 Hellstone Bars at an Iron or Lead Anvil. The player can get Hellstone Bars by smelting 3 Hellstone and 1 Obsidian at a Hellforge. Hellstone is found naturally in the Underworld, and creates lava whenever it is broken. Obsidian can be made by pouring water on lava.

Crafting Station[]

The player will need to find a Demon or Crimson Altar in the Corruption or Crimson biomes, respectively.

Tips[]

The Night's Edge can help with destroying the Hungry during the Wall of flesh fight. Attacking the boss directly is not recommended.
In hardmode, enemies have much more defense and health. A strong sword like the Night's edge can be very helpful for keeping enemies like wraiths and armored skeletons at bay.
The Night's Edge can be further upgraded into the True Night's Edge, which is stronger and shoots a projectile.
