Spread[ | ]
Main article: Biome spread
The Contagion spreads itself, similar to the Corruption, the Crimson and the Hallow. This means that it slowly converts certain susceptible tiles that are in the vicinity of existing Contagion blocks. While its spreading capabilities are very limited during pre-Hardmode, it spreads much faster and more aggressively after defeating the Wall of Flesh. Defeating Plantera for the first time reduces the speed of the Contagion's spread by 1/2 (50%).
