How do I get the Hallow key?
To get the Hallow key, you can obtain it by defeating monsters in The Hallow biome after the Wall of Flesh has been defeated, with a drop rate of 1:2500, or by crafting it using a Hallowed Key Mold, a Temple Key, and five of each mechanical boss soul, Fright, Sight, and Might.

Understanding the Hallow Key and Biome
The Hallow is a biome that can be found in the game, and it’s considered an opposite to the Corruption or Crimson biomes, as it has light-themed items and can spread like they can. To get the Hallow key, players must first access The Hallow biome, which can be done by converting the red/purple ice to Pink Ice using a Clentaminator, or by using Grass Seeds and waiting for the biome to spread.
