Guide To The Corruption Layer

The Corruption Layer is the final frontier, so to speak. This area is the most difficult to approach, much less to survive in. This is one of the most ruthless areas to be in, and is also one of the most rewarding. The Corruption Layer is filled with corrupted creatures, blocks, and water. It is also filled with Lumite. Lumite is plentiful in the Corruption layer. Once you reach altitude 0, you will see an unmineable block called "End Of The World". This is the final boundary between you and the abyss, and is a developer trick to keep you inside the map. This block can never be broken by anything, and has no use beyond keeping you from exiting the world boundaries. Along with that, you will see plenty of Corrupted Stone, Corrupted Dirt, Corrupted Wood, Corrupted Leaves, and the most dangerous (Yet most common and unavoidable thing) is the Corrupted Water. This will build up your corruption much faster than any other corrupted material, and is the most dangerous thing here that is not alive. There are two primary dangers here. The Corruption, and the creatures here. The creatures down here are among the strongest, yet they are also the most rewarding. Let's talk about the corruption first. The corruption is the status effect that occurs in all other biomes as well. The snow biome causes you to freeze, the lava biome causes you to burn, etc. The corruption works very similar to that, but depends on your contact with corrupted blocks. The more blocks you are near at one time, the faster the meter will fill up. This is almost unavoidable in the corruption layer, excluding the use of potions, bombs, and food. Unless you are properly prepared to handle corruption, you should never be in this area for longer than 2 minutes. Make sure you are properly armored as well. The main way to travel in this biome is to cross through the Corrupted Water, but Corrupted Water constatnly does damage to you. It doesn't matter how corrupted you are, it will cause damage, and this damage continues for an additional two seconds after you leave the Corrupted Water. This will continue if you use a Corruption Resistance potion, but the damage is halved. Along with that you will also face corrupted creatures. You will see all the standard elemental creatures including: Corrupted Pigsy Corrupted Chizzard Corrupted Rockster Corrupted Leafi Corrupted Miru And the most dangerous creature of all. The Thing The creatures here are extremely dangerous. Most creatures down here have 500 HP. That would mean most creatures require 72 hits with a Twig, 50 hits with a Wood Sword, 50 hits with a Stone Sword, 25 hits with an Obsidian Sword, 17 hits with an Iron Sword, 15 hits with a Diamond Sword or 10 hits with a Lumite Sword to be killed. Most of them do 100+ damage to the player in full Lumite armor. They are very strong, and can kill an unarmored player in 1-3 hits. The Thing I felt the thing deserved it's own subsection here. It is obscenely strong. It can kill a player in full diamond armor in three hits. Things have 2500 health points and require 250 hits with a Wood Sword, 250 hits with a Stone Sword, 125 hits with an Obsidian Sword, 84 hits with an Iron Sword, 72 hits with a Diamond Sword or 50 hits with a Lumite Sword to be killed. They do about 800 damage per attack, however their attack is avoidable. They have to "prime" their attack for about 1 second, which provides a strong reaction time. Easy Way To Kill These Creatures There are a lot of easy ways to kill these creatures with minimal risk, but I still recommend having the following. Full Iron Armor Iron Swords Purification Bombs Stun Bombs In order to get Corruption Dust, you are required to kill these creatures for loot or tame them. I will talk about taming in another section. This is dedicated to killing these creatures. The best way to kill them is to stun them, and attack.them. DO NOT START BY ATTEMPTING THIS WITH THE THING . This way you are put at a minimal risk and you will not be attacked. Be sure to do this to lonesome creatures, in order to avoid unwanted attention from other creatures. Should you start to be attacked and you begin to panic, you can use Purification bombs to do a massive amount of damage to the creature. 5 of these will kill most creatures, so if you want to reduce their health quickly, you may use them before attacking in order to get a better handle on the fight. The downside of this method is you will not be given loot, should the creature die. I will talk more about Purification Bombs and their uses in another section. Drops The creatures here will almost ALWAYS drop Corruption Dust. Along with this, the Corrupted creatures will drop standard drops including bones and sinew, as well as the drops of their standard creature counterparts. By standard creature counterparts, I mean a corrupted Chizzard will drop a Chizzard Gizzard, etc. They also drop health potions. Think you can do this? Cool. A list of things you will need are as follows: Two Teleporters Health Potions Armor (I recommend iron. Anything less is extremely difficult to survive with) Iron Sword Corruption Resistance Potion Gas Lanterns DO NOT USE YOUR TOUCHSTONE AS A TELEPORTER TO THE CORRUPTION LAYER. IF YOU GET DOWN HERE, IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO GET OUT WITHOUT TELEPORTING How to get to the Corruption Layer The Corruption Layer is under the Lava Layer. I cannot provide an accurate elevation estimate, as it is typically randomized. Do not mine straight down. When you are in the Lava Layer, I recommend watching your step when searching for the Corruption. The only way in is a large drop down. If you fall, you may hit an island, and die of fall damage. When you find a large drop into a dark area, you have found the Corruption layer. Another simpler method is to make an elevator of Mineral Water to the bottom. Don't use regular water, as it will get corrupted. Mineral Water will not be corrupted by Corrupted Water, and is the best choice when going down to the Corruption Layer for the first time. Props to Auntielynds for this method! What now? If you didn't place a teleporter at the top, be sure you can use your touchstone to get out. I would recommend taking a Corruption Resistance potion at this point.This is the hardest part. You need to jump in. If you can see the Corrupted Water, try and hit it. This is the only way to survive. If you can't see it (I hard a hard time) then jump in and hope for the best. If you hit the ground and die, do not panic. While difficult, it is possible to jump in an area that you know has Corrupted Water, grab your things and quickly escape with no armor/weapons/resistance. Only do this as a last resort. This will be extremely difficult. Most of the Corruption Layer is Corrupted Water, so while it may be difficult, it is possible to do this. If you managed to get in the water, you will hear a low humming and begin to take damage. The key is not to panic. Look for the closest island and swim to it. Place down your teleporter and immediately teleport back using the teleporter or your touchstone. Congratulations, you now have a method of travel to the corruption layer! The first thing you need to do is Light the area around your teleporter. Quickly hop through and place 2-4 Gas Lamps. I prefer Gas Lamps as they don't require any extra lighting, are simple to produce, and have a large light radius. Once done, return back to recuperate. At this point I recommend building 2-4 Advanced Extractors. If you have a Super Extractor, then use that. However if you do have a super extractor, I am curious as to why you are reading this, as you are probably already educated in this. Now return to the Corruption Layer and search for Lumite. In the dark Corruption Layer, these blocks stand out, as they produce a shine. They will be sparkly blocks in the Corruption Layer. Quickly run up and place an Advanced Extractor, then return back home and wait. When you finish, then you can collect and forg
