Not to be confused with Mire Pod, which is a crafting material.

A Mire Pod is a floating pod, found deep in the lake of The Mire. Destroying at least three of these orbs (in a single world) will summon The Hydra. This can be done using any hammer or explosives. They are the Mire counterpart to The Inferno's Dragon Eggs.

Multiple Mire Pods are found in the Mire, each located at the bottom of the lake, surrounded by Depthstone. While mining Depthstone requires at least a Nightmare Pickaxe, Depthstone can be converted to normal Stone Blocks with Purification Powder, and mined with a lower-tier pickaxe. Alternatively, explosives can be used to destroy Depthstone.
