It is the strongest Pre-Hardmode sword.

Mine as much Crimtane ore as you can. An alternative to this is to Beat the Eye of Cthulhu in a Crimson biome. You need 15 Crimtane Bars, which means you need 45 Crimtane ore to make the Blood Butcher, the first ingredient of Night's Edge. If you have a corrupt biome, you can substitute with a Light's Bane.

First, you will need to Beat Skeletron. Then, open Golden Chests until you find the Muramasa.

. Mine Hellstone ore (you need 60, plus 20 Obsidian.) To make Hellstone Bars, you need a Hellforge, which you can(visit this link if you have trouble: Find a Ruined House in Terraria ) find in a Ruined House. Craft 20 Hellstone Bars and make a Fiery Greatsword.

You need to mine 45 Demonite ore to make your 15 Demonite Bars. Once you get 15 Bars, craft Light's Bane.

Once you do, kill Hornets until you have 15 Stingers, and find 12 Jungle Spores. Combine these to make the Blade of Grass.
{"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/0\/08\/Get-the-Terra-Blade-in-Terraria-Step-7-Version-2.jpg\/v4-460px-Get-the-Terra-Blade-in-Terraria-Step-7-Version-2.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/0\/08\/Get-the-Terra-Blade-in-Terraria-Step-7-Version-2.jpg\/aid5998410-v4-728px-Get-the-Terra-Blade-in-Terraria-Step-7-Version-2.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fair_use\">Fair Use<\/a> (screenshot)<br>\n<\/p><\/div>"}

They have a 1/20 chance of occuring every day.

On the day of the Solar Eclipse, either wear Turtle Armor, drink a Battle Potion, stand near a Water Candle, or all of those at the same time.

They have a chance to drop Broken Hero Swords. You need three Broken Hero Swords to craft the Terra Blade (two if you're playing on PC since the latest update).

Question

I already defeated all three mechanical bosses, but I never had a solar eclipse yet. What do I do?

Community Answer

Solar eclipses have a 5% chance of occurring on any given day, after at least 1 mechanical boss is defeated. You just need to wait.

Question

What is the best way to beat Skeletron?

Community Answer

Use a gun; aim for the head and dodge the hands. To beat Skeletron Prime, get Mega Shark and try to dodge. If you can get bullets that can home, then go crazy.

Question

How do I get the muramasa to make the nights edge?

VanClifford Cabais

Community Answer

Find a dungeon (far left or right of your world), beat Skeletron at night, then collect golden keys to unlock golden chests. Unlock the chests until you find the muramasa.
