Hardmode is a harder version of the player's initial world, where enemies become harder, new bosses spawn, new NPCs can spawn and many biomes like the Corruption and the Hallow begin to spread. A world's status from regular will be changed to Hardmode if the Wall of Flesh (WoF) is defeated in the world.
Difficulty[]
Like it's namesake, Hardmode makes Terraria much more difficult, adding new monsters, and making events such as the Blood Moon harder. While this is true, stronger weapons and armor are also added, so after the player reaches a certain level of armor and weapons, Hardmode may become easier.
Bosses[]
Once Hardmode is activated, 3 new mechanical Bosses become available, which are Hardmode variants of their predecessors. Other bosses with spawn as well.
- Destroyer (Harder version of Eater of Worlds)
- The Twins (A twin version of Eye of Cthulhu)
- Skeletron Prime (Harder version of Skeletron)
- Plantera (A huge flower-like boss, found in the jungle, after defeating the 3 mech bosses)
- Golem
- Duke Fishron(A pig/fish hybrid boss)
- Ocram(a head-like boss
