Terraria is a popular sandbox adventure game that offers players endless opportunities to explore, craft, and fight their way through various biomes and challenges. One of the key aspects of the game is mining, as it allows players to gather valuable resources for crafting powerful weapons, armor, and other useful items. In Terraria Hardmode, the game enters a more challenging phase where new enemies and bosses appear, along with more valuable resources. To navigate this difficult stage efficiently, it is crucial to have the strongest pickaxe available. In this article, we will explore the top pickaxes in Terraria Hardmode that will help you maximize your mining potential.
The Molten Pickaxe: A Solid Starting Point
The Molten Pickaxe is a reliable choice for players entering Hardmode for the first time. It is crafted using Hellstone Bars obtained from mining Hellstone in The Underworld biome. While not as powerful as some of the later pickaxes, it still provides a significant boost in mining speed and can mine most ores found in early Hardmode zones like the Underground Hallow and Corruption/Crimson.
The Palladium/Cobalt Pickaxe: Swift and Efficient
As you progress further into Hardmode, you’ll encounter new ores such as Palladium or Cobalt depending on your world’s generated ore type. These ores can be used to craft pickaxes that are faster and more efficient than their predecessors. The Palladium Pickaxe boasts an increased mining speed compared to its Molten counterpart while also having a chance to generate light particles when swung.
The Mythril/Orichalcum Pickaxe: Power Meets Efficiency
Mythril or Orichalcum pickaxes are crafted using their respective ores found deep underground in your world’s generated biome – Mythril for Corruption worlds or Orichalcum for Crimson worlds. These pickaxes offer a substantial mining speed increase and are capable of mining the majority of Hardmode ores, including Adamantite or Titanium, which are crucial for crafting advanced armor and weapons.
The Pickaxe Axe/Drax: The Ultimate Mining Powerhouse
Finally, we have the Pickaxe Axe and the Drax, which combine the power of a pickaxe with that of an axe. These legendary tools can mine both ores and blocks efficiently, making them essential for collecting resources in the later stages of Hardmode. The Pickaxe Axe is crafted using Hallowed Bars obtained from defeating any mechanical boss, while the Drax is assembled from Hallowed Bars along with Souls of Fright, Might, and Sight.
In conclusion, having the strongest pickaxe in Terraria Hardmode is essential for maximizing your mining potential and gathering valuable resources efficiently. Starting with the Molten Pickaxe, players can progress through various tiers of pickaxes like Palladium/Cobalt, Mythril/Orichalcum until they reach the ultimate mining powerhouses – the Pickaxe Axe or Drax. With these powerful tools in hand, you’ll be able to conquer Terraria’s challenging Hardmode content and craft powerful equipment to aid you in your adventures. Happy mining.
