Logo-6

A Halloween-themed logo.

Not to be confused with the Pumpkin Moon, a Halloween-themed event.

Halloween is a seasonal event which lasts from around mid-October until around the start of November. During this time, several enemies wear costumes that change their appearance, unique enemies spawn, and new items become available via enemy drops or via purchase. Goodie Bags also drop, offering random Halloween-themed items, mostly decorative or vanity. Pumpkins grow naturally on grass during Halloween.

The duration of the event depends on the game platform:

"Weak enemies" are enemies with less than 20 defense, 40 damage and up to 5 of loot. These will be mostly pre-Hardmode enemies. When playing in Expert Mode, all enemies are much stronger and therefore these conditions limit the amount of enemies that can drop the Bloody Machete and Bladed Glove to just a couple, especially during Hardmode. See the table below for clarification.

Tips[]

  • Halloween can be "activated" by setting the device's date to any date within the respective Halloween timespan.
    • Desktop only Change the computer's date to any day between October 10th and November 1st.
    • Console version Disconnect from Xbox One Xbox Live / PlayStation 4 PSN and change the console time.
    • Mobile version Disconnect from automatic date/time updates and change the time manually. Note that this does not work for some devices.
    • Nintendo 3DS version Go to "System Settings" and set the date there.
    • Nintendo Switch Go to "System Settings" and go to "system", click on "Date and Time" and set the time there.
If a change of the device's time is undesired, applications like RunAsDate (Windows) or faketime (Linux, macOS) allow launching Terraria with a changed time and date.

Trivia[]

  • The tree in the Halloween logo appears to be made of Spooky Wood, an item which drops in bulk during the similarly-themed Pumpkin Moon event.

History[]

  • Desktop 1.3.4: Halloween period finishes on November 1st instead of November 10th.
  • Desktop 1.2.1.1: Fixed a bug causing the game to not check for Halloween dates in multiplayer.

Footnotes[]

  1. 1.0 1.1 1.2 Does not drop from statue-spawned enemies or Meteor Heads.
