How Do You Get a Broken Hero Sword?
The Broken Hero Sword is a coveted weapon in the world of Terraria, and many players strive to obtain it. This article will guide you on how to get your hands on this powerful sword, and what you need to do to unlock it.
No Longer Drops from Frankensteins and Swamp Things
Unlike before, the Broken Hero Sword is no longer dropped by Frankensteins and Swamp Things. Instead, you can only obtain it by defeating the Mothron boss during a Solar Eclipse.
Defeat the Mechanical Bosses First
To face Mothron, you need to defeat all three Mechanical bosses: The Destroyer, Skeletron Prime, and The Twins. This will unlock the Underground Jungle, where Mothron can be found.
Mothron and Solar Eclipse
Mothron can only spawn after the Solar Eclipse, which occurs when the Sun is at its peak. The Eclipse will last for 5 minutes, during which time Mothron will have a 25% chance (43.75% in Expert Mode) to drop the Broken Hero Sword.
Tips for Increasing Your Chances
While there is no guarantee that Mothron will drop the Broken Hero Sword, you can increase your chances by using Water Candles and Battle Potions during the Solar Eclipse. These items will give you a temporary boost in experience gain and damage output, increasing your chances of getting the sword.
Alternative Strategies
If you’re not lucky enough to get the Broken Hero Sword from Mothron, there are alternative strategies you can use. You can try crafting the Terra Blade or Death Sickle, which are also powerful weapons. These items can be crafted using certain materials and items, but they require a lot of effort and resources.
Crafting the Terra Blade
The Terra Blade is a powerful sword that can be crafted using 6 Chlorophyte Bars, 12 Chlorophyte Ore, and 18 Hellstone Bars. You can craft this sword before defeating Plantera, but it will require a lot of resources and effort.
Crafting the Death Sickle
The Death Sickle is another powerful weapon that can be crafted using 12 Iron Bars, 12 Copper Bars, and 18 Bone Fragments. This sword can be crafted before defeating Plantera, and it’s a good alternative to the Broken Hero Sword.
Conclusion
Getting the Broken Hero Sword is not easy, but it’s not impossible either. By following these tips and strategies, you can increase your chances of obtaining this powerful sword and becoming a formidable player in the world of Terraria.
