Guide to Hardmode Souls in Terraria

Terraria is a great game that has a lot of content built into it. A lot of people think that once you beat the Wall of Flesh, there is nothing else after it, but that is not the case. Once you finally get into Hardmode, the game has just begun. One huge thing that is opened up for you once you get into Hardmode is the collection of Souls. Depending on what creature it is and where it is in the world, they each drop a different type of Soul. Not only that, there are some Souls that you can only get from defeating a Boss. Here are all 6 Souls you can get and what you can make with them:

Soul of Fright

There is only one way to get these Souls and that is to defeat the third and final Mechanical boss, Skeletron Prime. He is the hardest of the three and it is basically a four-armed version of Skeletron with weaponry. He is fast, hits hard, and he shows no mercy, so be ready to fight him. You probably already have Hallowed armor from the other Mechanical bosses so it should not be as hard as you think, but it is satisfying to defeat him.

Conclusion

In conclusion, Terraria honestly has soo much content in it. For those who like a simpler game, I give you props, but nothing comes close to Terraria in my book. There is a 7th Soul called the Soul of Blight, but that is only in the 3DS version of the game and not worth putting into this article, so I am sorry for those 3DS players out there. If you have not played Terraria before and you would like to, it is very cheap (under $10) basically anywhere and you should get it because Journey’s End is coming out soon also. Definitely worth your time and money.
