The last column is Master mode in a world made with the For the Worthy seed. Its numbers were measured in the game, not computed here.

For one player in a world before Hardmode. Expert and Master scale life, attack, knockback and coins by the game's own multipliers.

Coins: each kill rolls the coins from 80% to 175% of this value, then rarer extra rolls can add more.

How to fight it

How it appears

  • Summon item: Worm Food. Use it in the Corruption.
  • Without an item: Break every third Shadow Orb.

What beating it changes

  • The Dryad can move in.
  • Meteors can fall: the first defeat always sets one, later ones 1 in 2, and after that 1 in 50 each night.
  • The Tavernkeep can be found.
