Preparing for the Underground Jungle

Just beat the mech bosses in Terraria? You've unlocked new crafting options! Learn what you need to mine Chlorophyte and upgrade your gear for the Underground Jungle.

Alright, you've done it! You've taken down all three mechanical bosses. That's a huge milestone, and it means a bunch of awesome new gear is now within your reach. Think of this as a major checkpoint in your Terraria journey.

The most important thing you can do right now is craft some new tools and accessories using the Souls of Might, Fright, and Sight. You'll need all three of these to make some key items that will help you push further into the game, especially into the Underground Jungle.

Essential Crafting: Pickaxe Axe/Drax

Your first priority should be crafting either the Pickaxe Axe or the Drax. You'll need 1 Soul of Might, 1 Soul of Fright, 1 Soul of Sight, and 18 Hallows bars for either one. This bad boy is absolutely required to progress because it's the only tool that can mine Chlorophyte Ore. And guess where that valuable ore is found? Yep, deep within the Underground Jungle.

The Avenger Emblem: A Versatile Boost

Next up, consider the Avenger Emblem. This accessory requires 5 Souls of Might, 5 Souls of Fright, 5 Souls of Sight, and 1 Emblem of your choosing. It's a pretty neat item because it boosts all damage types by 12%. Now, that's a slight downgrade from the 15% boost you get from single-damage emblems, but it's fantastic if you're planning to dabble in multiple damage types or want a solid all-around buff.

The best part? The Avenger Emblem can be further upgraded into even more powerful accessories like the Celestial Emblem, Destroyer Emblem, and the Mechanical Glove. This means you won't have to sacrifice your damage output as you continue to upgrade your gear. It’s a smart way to ensure you’re always dealing maximum damage, no matter what your build is.
