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

Without an item: Break a Plantera's Bulb in the Underground Jungle. Bulbs grow on jungle grass once all three mechanical bosses are beaten.

What beating it changes

The Cyborg can move in.
The Lihzahrd Altar accepts a Lihzahrd Power Cell, so Golem can be summoned.
The Dungeon gets its Hardmode enemies.
Corruption, Crimson and Hallow spread half as fast.
The Prismatic Lacewing can appear, which leads to the Empress of Light.

Treasure Bag (Expert and Master): Treasure Bag (Plantera)
