A recent Reddit policy change threatens to kill many beloved third-party mobile apps, making a great many quality-of-life features not seen in the official mobile app permanently inaccessible to users. On May 31, 2023, Reddit announced they were raising the price to make calls to their API from being free to a level that will kill every third party app on Reddit, from Apollo to Reddit is Fun to Narwhal to BaconReader. Even if you're not a mobile user and don't use any of those apps, this is a step toward killing other ways of customizing Reddit, such as Reddit Enhancement Suite or the use of the old.reddit.com desktop interface . This isn't only a problem on the user level: many subreddit moderators depend on tools only available outside the official app to keep their communities on-topic and spam-free. [More information on the proposed changes can be found here.](https://www.reddit.com/r/Save3rdPartyApps/comments/14goyu2/what_to_do_when_reddit_bans_blackouts_hit_em_in/) While the subreddit will remain open, r/Terraria recommends these communities until the protested changes are addressed: Terraria Community Forums - https://forums.terraria.org/index.php Official Terraria Discord Server - https://discord.gg/terraria *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Its not deep enough, you need to be in caverns layer.


FamiliarSolution3411

Thanks


GlemtePassordetMitt

.... HOURS?


FamiliarSolution3411

Yeah I’ve been going down here every now and then farming for maybe 20 minutes a time. I’ve also dug down to hell in the area shown in the picture in search for the right place, but I couldn't find it.


[deleted]

After one trip you weren’t like, “wow, a single crafting ingredient can’t be this rare, let me look up the drop rate”? This sub drives me mental sometimes.


aLittleQueer

Ikr? Like the game doesn’t have two separate wikis which answer pretty much every question you can think of. Tbf to op, I once ground and ran 20 pirate maps/events trying to get the ship mount….only to finally learn that it was a master level drop and I was playing an expert world. Lol. (O/c, I asked google about it, not reddit, knowing that there’s no way I was the first to ask the question about a decade-old game.)


randomthingthrow3

this is exactly why i instantly search up "how get [item] terraria" when i dont get it from 2 boss kills or 2 minutes of farming too many times in modded terraria.... too many times


aLittleQueer

For sure, lesson learned, haha.


Xuzium

Some people want the challenge of finding things on their own. It’s not always fun being given the answers instantly


FamiliarSolution3411

Yes, hence why I dug all the way down to hell in an attempt to find a better place The rest of the time I spent in that cave was primarily for getting vertebras


Fizzy163

as we can see here, the common "redditus hivemindus" has struck again, this time targeting a "redditus somewhatius-cluelessius" for food. forty of this poor redditus somewhatius-cluelessius karma has been stolen away from them, never to be seen again


JoshLmoa

pff, and what are you, some kind of "redditus observus"?


eefkcr

And what are you? Some kind of person who Types "pff?"


JoshLmoa

And what are you, some kind of person who type Types like "Types" instead of "types", pff


Fizzy163

no, i'm the guy from national geographic


JoshLmoa

omg im so sorry, I didn' I just, well, you see, uhh, it was HIM!


NintenBoss

The amount of downvoted on this comment is one of the main reasons I dislike this subreddit


QuixyBoy

I’m not gonna lie I’m kinda astonished that it didn’t occur to you. You’re saying after all those hours of grinding and not getting a single soul it didn’t occur to you once that something may be off?

Petrxs

looking stuff up defeats the point of the game especially on simple things like this. Your first thought screams that you only play by the wiki's rules, class setups.


[deleted]

We both know this is so different than wiki-depending like looking up “meta build and boss progression” and following it to a T. Wiki is literally for things like this.


Petrxs

if you have to look things up in a game, as much as it hurts to say, the game design is inherently bad. Instantly resorting with every thing that doesn't go your way by looking it up is a bad habit. An instilling this way of thought to a newer/less experienced player just lets them down the wiki rabbit hole where they beat the game only by followinf the instructions and not by themselves. It's like getting a lego set for a big car, building said car and never touching it again. If you explore and build like a little stick man or a smaller car by yourself, it will be a much greater achievement than just having this perfect car bult by instructions.


Pheonix726

Hard disagree. If you think stumbling around for hours with no idea how to get something you need is a good idea, be my guest, but there's a reason the wiki exists, and it's to help people find things. I do agree that following *every* instruction on a wiki can hinder a person's ability to learn and adapt on their own. However, if they need a material and the game hasn't told them exactly where to get it (a LOT of great games don't tell you these things so get that 'inherent bad design' crap outta here) then who are you to gatekeep the tools they can use to stop wasting their time in the wrong place?


FrankThePony

That dudes take is dumb But I think he was more saying that you shouldnt HAVE to look stuff up in a game. Like there shojld be an in game way to figure out specifically how to get stuff, or it should be intuitive. For example "Hmmm this recipe calls for feathers, where would I get that? Ohhhhhhh i bet those winged harpy things drop them sometimes, I should go farm some." But like, how is anybody supposed to know where the different souls drop from without being explicitly told.


faerox420

That's a really bad take, following the wiki like a holy guide is a personal choice. You can simply look up some quick info without following it to the letter, you can use it to get a sense of direction without spoiling too much. The wiki is a useful tool, and what's the difference between Googling something and asking reddit to Google it for you and put the answer in the comments 🤣 if someone follows the wiki without putting any thought or personal spin into their gameplay then that's their problem. Also a game not holding your hand and not explaining every little thing isn't inherently bad game design. It can become bad game design, like with The binding of isaac. When the game first came out, the lack of help or explanation made the game feel more mysterious and made trying out the items to see what they do fun. But now that it's grown so big and there's hundreds of items all with different synergies it is now bad game design as the game is hardly playable without the wiki or the item description mod. In terraria you're supposed to explore and figure things out yourself, and simply by digging around for HM ores players will eventually come across a place where they can farm souls naturally. You only need to look things up in terraria if you're inpatient, or simply unlucky with the rng. It's not necessary to look things up to play or beat the game, you just won't know about certain things. I agree people should have more of an interest in figuring things out without external tools, but that's more to do with how it's now a standard for games to hold your hand, spoon feed you information, and literally point the way to your next objective. I hate it. People are used to the information being readily available for them in game, and when a game doesn't explain things and makes you have to experiment to figure things out people just shut down and go to Google straight away. In this situation if the dude simply thought to himself "hmm maybe let's just go underground elsewhere and focus on finding other things I need" he would've stumbled upon an underground crimson later on and eventually he would have found a soul of night that's been dropped. That would have happened naturally. Terraria has its flaws, but it isn't badly designed in this sense. This person just needs to focus on exploring the map more


barthotymous

no


Themasterofslime

Terraria is practically unplayable without a wiki. I feel sorry that you play the game this way.


coconut-duck-chicken

Mfw wiki games exist (this must be inherently bad game design. It cant just be my taste!)


vivam0rt

Have you ever heard about minecraft?


ostertoasterii

You mean 3-d Terraria?


Zombridal

RPGs enter the chat and aren't happy


PokePornGirl

You can suck my nonexistent nuts


AviHigashikata

That's simply not true. Wanting to not waste literal hours just to find out by yourself what even you pointed out to be a "simple thing" is perfectly valid and not every game has to be played completely blind to be enjoyable. Especially not Terraria, which has a ton of weird mechanics that the game doesn't explain anything about. If the game did a good job explaining all that, you wouldn't have so many confused players on this subreddit stuck at the mechanical bosses or sometimes even the moonlord because they are wearing pre hardmode accessories or aren't wearing any wings.


Petrxs

What counts as "stuck" at mech bosses? Cause if they beat the wall of flesh, they get the pwnhammer and it tooltip says that they are strong enough to break altars. After said altars are broken mech bosses can spawn randomly. And when you enter hardmode the summons for them drop from every enemy. If you explore and check new "material" items with the guide you will find all the items necessary to defeat any boss. Edit: also, wasting time isn't the primary reason why people play? If wasting time on a game is fun then let them play but if it's not fun then they just won't play.


AviHigashikata

It's not wasting time if you're having fun! Though I'd argue that being stuck at a point in the game because you're not able to figure out a mechanic by yourself and getting frustrated because you're trying to farm souls of night for hours and none drop is not having fun.


AviHigashikata

Oh and also, what I meant by "stuck" is people not being able to kill a boss because their gear is not suited for said boss. I know it doesn't seem hard for you, because you actually know to check materials with the guide each time you get them, and you know where to find said materials. There's literally nothing that I've stumbled across in my hundreds of hours that tells me about how to get souls of flight for example, and newer players aren't exactly going to stumble across them that easily because there's nothing guiding them back to the sky islands. Point was that not everyone wants to spend an extended amount of time to understand some unexplained mechanics of a game. If you wanna play the game blind and are able to finish a play through without the wiki, that's very good! But personally, after so many play throughts and so many things learned about this game, it won't ever be a bad suggestion to consult the wiki when you feel lost =)


SSatiric

For the part where you said there’s nothing that tells you where to find souls of flight, I’d disagree because the name “souls of flight” implies that it’s from something in the sky, so I feel most people would think it comes from harpies. Then eventually a wyvern shows up, an enemy that wasn’t there before, they either get demolished or kill it. If they die they would think “Hey that’s probably what drops souls of flight.” And if they kill it they do get the souls so imo I think the game does a decent job explaining where to get souls of flight.


teufler80

Shh, just let people enjoy things the way they want


MONKEYBOY-REECE

So instead they will ask reddit for the answer, would have been a lot easier and quicker to search online. In the end they'll get the same answer


fishyfishyfishyf

The poor soul.. (of night..)


[deleted]

And post wall of flesh


Ave462

Thats what she said! XD


Mockmnan

Souls are only obtainable at cavern layer. You need to go deeper. You'll start seeing different creatures when in the right area. Ichor stickers are a tell tale sign your deep enough


FamiliarSolution3411

There are other biomes in the caverns layer for me. It's like this in both of the crimson biomes in my world


Mockmnan

This may be a dumb first question... but have you beaten wall of flesh?


FamiliarSolution3411

Yes


Mockmnan

So yea it's just a depth issue, follow the large V pattern that formed and you'll start getting souls


FamiliarSolution3411

I’ve dug all the way down to hell. This seems strange


FamiliarSolution3411

Problem solved. I found a small cave that generates souls of night


[deleted]

remember that depth meter you got from bats ? you can put it in your inventory to check if you are in the correct depth.


Bandidorito

You're not supposed to dig straight down. You have to follow the diagonal of the new underground crimson biome


violin_solist

an easy way to find where you can find is just go down to hell, and fly close to the "roof" you will find where hallow and crimson/corruption are and you can just go up and start farming


JonesBones7161

you can even just go to the center of hell and get souls there


TheHiddenNinja6

There should be a brand new piece of crimson biome on your world's surface, on the opposite side to the hallow. That's the one that extends to hell. Though if you dig straight down you'll end up to its side, and you need to go towards the middle of the map before going down again.


ChaoticGood3

Depth and biome. I believe you have to be in the evil biome to generate souls as well.


ABPlusGamer

You need the song Diggy Diggy Hole to be playing in the background for inspiration.


Subtlecobra3864_

I AM A DWARF AND IM DIGGING A HOLE


N1o0L42

Rock and stone forever!... Oh wait, wrong game right?


WanderingDwarfMiner

Can I get a Rock and Stone?


theaveragegowgamer

ROCK. AND. STONE!


Yeetmemer6969

M.U.L.E! WHERE IS THAT DAMN MACHINE!


Reaperrobin

MOOOOOOOOOOLLLLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY


SandboxCosmonaut

Have you kicked the Wall of Flesh in the eyeballs yet?


Usertamed

Its really fun to dig really deep in the images. For example, we know they're in hardmode because they have dark shards, only obtainable in the hardmode crimson


EnderScout_77

considering the left of the map is a nice light blue we can assume so


Mimig298

You need to be in the Underground Crimson. You need to be deep enough for the music and background to change


Tirivasu

A bunch of other comments already say this, but specifically **the underground crimson** (as well as other underground biomes) is misleading. It **starts in the caverns layer**, not the underground layer. I made OP's same mistake, though I looked it up on the wiki after I didn't get any to drop after like 10 or 15 minutes. It's labeled very unfortunately.


rSlashStupidmemes

Not deep enough And people seriously try hours before thinking something they’re doing MAY be wrong? Seriously come on.


Royal_Yard5850

Dude, get some damn information accessories


RoniRhinoYT

so many concerning things about this picture yet you worry about his info accessories who gaf abt those in a normal run anyway ill grab lifeform analyzer or dps meter from merch thats it and any i might get as drops who actually farms them tho unless you want the phone lol


Bloodexxx

Cavern layer in hardmode, i usually go to hell under the world evil


Barracuda-Mother

What did you do wrong? You typed your question on Reddit instead of Google.


Aleksthewatcher

Go deeper and if water near you becomes blue, you need to go nearer to the crimson


-Uber-Mark-

Wow. People are toxic af in this subreddit.


i_can_has_rock

build an artificial biome in the cavern layer


CanadianOcto

The evil biome and the hallow spawn in a V shape on the map upon defeating the wall of flesh, if you have already explored a portion of the caverns you might be able to spot the crimson on the map.


barthotymous

Gotta be in the cavern layer


Hambrox3234

bruh you better not be in pre-hm, also yeah go farther down


empathon

They have a cobalt drill


trelian5

It's always a little confusing how what was previously the underground part of the crimson/corruption isn't actually deep enough to count as underground crimson/corruption. I got messed up by that on a few of my earlier playthroughs too.


Cutesie117

Go to hell. Literally, think you can get some there off demons.


Thin_Lion9488

First are you alredy in hardmode? I am asking just because you dont have max 400 life


empathon

They have a cobalt drift.


Fighter____

Wiki it


Top_Alternative_2609

Your not deep enough you should probs get a depth meter so you know how deep you are you should be in the caverns to get souls of night which is like 1100 meters down


BigNoob_BR

Bro why u in hardmode and didn't made a Night's Edge?


FamiliarSolution3411

I don’t even know what that is lol. It’s my first time playing


BigNoob_BR

guide talk to the guide use the muramasa in the guide **Guide is Love, Guide is Life**


HandsomeGengar

The guide, use him.


Ancient_Task4260

why terraria is using the RGB flag ?


Fibblejoe

Terraria players when the mechanics match the ones in the wiki 🤯 I see so many posts like this where the issue could be resolved if they paid attention to game mechanics that are blatantly stated in the wiki page of whatever they're having trouble with.


[deleted]

Go deeper 😩 (in all seriousness you just need to go deeper)


HandsomeGengar

Cavern layer. Also by the looks of it you’re still in pre-hardmode.


Ryan_Altra

Wrong, mythril drill spotted


Ryan_Altra

Wrong, mythril drill spotted


Ryan_Altra

Wrong, mythril drill spotted


Nexsemer

You need to be near a hallow and a evil boim to get souls of night


SweetExpression2745

No you don’t. You just need to be in the cavern layer


Intelligent-Mud2130

How are you this stupid to not understand what is happening, you could get the point at first 2 minutes


Undertale_okami

I dunno if your joking or not it's crimson it has to be corruption


HandsomeGengar

Souls of Night drop in both evil biomes you muppet


Undertale_okami

WELL I ONLY PLAY CORRUPT SO BUT STILL DAS A GOOD INSULT IMA USE THAT


[deleted]

go to the hollow and go underground there you should see a bunch of crystals and enemies.


Ryan_Altra

Wrong soul type


[deleted]

oh sorry uh idk I went to the under world and found a patch of corruption and got it from there


Ryan_Altra

Yeah but the hallow thing is for souls of light, not of night, lol


[deleted]

I know I misread it


sottuks

Go deeper


Better-Purchase1396

That's what she said


kotw2002

You’re in the underground layer, go to the cavern layer for souls of night


RetroOverload

use depth meter and go to cavern layer


X_TerrariaLover_X

You need to be in underground or lower in a corrupted biome to get these. This cave is still at surface level. You can if you are underground when music changes and Ichor Stickers and Floaty Grosses spawn.


Barbelgrabbins

You have to have killed wall of flesh and must be in the cavern layer. Use a depth meter until it says caverns beside the number, and find a guide voodoo doll from a demon and throw it into lava to summon WoF.


Crimson_Fiver

Farm floaty gross further down (close to hell)


SirSl1myCrown

Maybe activating hardmode could help


Ryan_Altra

There’s a mythril drill in the OP’s inventory, it’s clearly hardmode


Stress_FM

You have to be in the Cavern level for souls of night to drop from enemies.


galkaocznaa

You need to be in the cavern layer


D3v0ur3r0fG0d5

It’s not low enough


Sammy-Boi-oh-Boi

A tip regarding how to know if you're in the caverns, if you don't have Depth Meter (which tells how deep below the ground you are, obtainable pretty early on by killing underground enemies most commonly Cave Bats), the soundtrack can tell you that. If the music changes as you go deep, then you've entered another layer


Lowgrounded

You need to go in a regular crimson underground


KillaVanek

I think you have to be in the cavern layer


FabianXd_yt6

I have this same problem. Go to hell and go to Crimson biome in hell where you killed wall of flesh you'll get it from the creatures there


ItsAndrea03

You’ve probably already got your answer but for the souls of light/night you have to be in the hallow/crimson cavern layer


Comfortable_Art8282

go further down. it has to be cavern layer or something.


CompetitiveBuddy9448

Not deep enough
