Superhardmode

Superhardmode (SHM) is a new difficulty mode beyond Hardmode. A world permanently converts to Superhardmode after the Wall of Steel boss is defeated for the first time. Once a world has been converted to Superhardmode, all enemies will become stronger, including Hardmode and Pre-Hardmode enemies.

It brings new enemies, biomes, ores, and one new Town NPC into the world.

Biomes unique to Superhardmode[ | ]

Tropics[ | ]

The Tropics generates upon entering Superhardmode. It has its own music track, and currently has almost no purpose.

Dark Matter[ | ]

The Dark Matter biome can only be created after defeating the Armageddon Slime, which drops the Dark Matter Soil Blocks required to create it. This biome is player-made, and the Dark Matter will spread to almost any natural block. This biome is one of the only ways to obtain Dark Matter Gel.

Ores[ | ]

There are 10 total ores that are in Superhardmode. Only 8 can be present in one world, as Pyroscoric and Unvolandite are variants to Tritanorium and Vorazylcum.

Oblivion Ore
Primordial Ore
Hydrolyth Ore (1 in 3 chance to spawn in comets every midnight after entering Superhardmode)

Hallowed Altars[ | ]

The Banhammer can be crafted with the Souls of Blight dropped by the Wall of Steel, enabling the destruction of Hallowed Altars. Destroying Hallowed Altars will generate 2 of 4 ores in each world, selected randomly.
