All About Hallowed Bars and The Twins
What are Hallowed Bars?
Hallowed Bars are essential crafting materials in Terraria’s Hardmode. They are used to create a variety of armor sets and weapons, allowing players to progress further into the game’s challenges. Obtaining these bars requires defeating specific bosses.
The Twins: A Mechanical Menace
The Twins are a pair of mechanical bosses, consisting of Retinazer (the laser eye) and Spazmatism (the flamethrower eye). They are one of the three mechanical bosses that players must defeat to progress in Hardmode. Fighting them requires strategy and proper preparation.
The Connection: Hallowed Bar Drops
As stated previously, The Twins are guaranteed to drop Hallowed Bars upon defeat. This makes them a valuable target for players looking to upgrade their gear. The quantity of Hallowed Bars dropped, however, can vary. According to updated game mechanics, The Twins now drop 15-30 Hallowed Bars.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. Where Can I Get Hallowed Bars?
Hallowed Bars are obtained exclusively by defeating the three mechanical bosses: The Twins, The Destroyer, and Skeletron Prime. No other enemies or methods will yield these valuable bars.
2. What is the Drop Rate of Hallowed Bars from The Twins?
The drop rate is 100%, meaning that every time you defeat The Twins, they will drop Hallowed Bars. However, the quantity of Hallowed Bars is between 15 and 30.
3. How Many Hallowed Bars are Needed for a Full Armor Set?
Crafting a full set of Hallowed Armor, including one headpiece, requires 54 Hallowed Bars. If you want all four headpieces (melee, ranged, magic, and summoner), you’ll need 90 Hallowed Bars.
4. What Other Items Do The Twins Drop?
Besides Hallowed Bars, The Twins also drop:
- Souls of Sight (25-40)
- Horned God Boots (14.29% chance)
- Greater Healing Potions (5-15)
- Twin Mask (14.29% chance)
- Treasure Bag (The Twins) (100% in Expert/Master Mode)
- Mechanical Wheel Piece (100%)
5. How Do I Summon The Twins?
The Twins can be summoned manually using a Mechanical Eye at night (7:30 PM to 4:30 AM). They also have a 1/10 (10%) chance to spawn naturally at dusk once a Demon or Crimson Altar has been destroyed, as long as they have not yet been defeated in the current world.
6. What is the Best Strategy for Defeating The Twins?
A common strategy involves creating a long platform to allow for mobility. Ranged weapons and piercing attacks are effective. Focus on defeating Spazmatism first, as its flamethrower attack can be more challenging to dodge. Spider Staff can also be helpful.
7. What Pre-Hardmode Gear Should I Have Before Fighting The Twins?
Before attempting to fight The Twins, ensure you have a full set of pre-Hardmode armor, such as Molten Armor, Necro Armor, or Jungle Armor, depending on your preferred playstyle. Also, obtain powerful weapons like the Phoenix Blaster, Bee Gun, or Night’s Edge.
8. Is There an Ore Associated with Hallowed Bars?
No, Hallowed Bars are unique in that they don’t have a corresponding ore. They are exclusively obtained as boss drops.
9. Is Adamantite Armor Better Than Hallowed Armor?
For melee players, Adamantite Armor offers comparable defense and higher raw damage. However, Hallowed Armor provides the Holy Protection buff, making it a viable option for a tank-style player.
10. What is Hallowed Ore and How Do I Obtain It?
Hallowed Ore is a Hardmode ore that generates in Pearlstone Blocks, Hardened Pearlsand Blocks, Pearlsandstone Blocks, and Pink Ice Blocks after all three Mechanical Bosses have been defeated. It predominantly generates in the Underground Hallow biome. You’ll need at least an Adamantite Pickaxe or Titanium Pickaxe to mine it.
11. Can I Craft Hallowed Bars?
No, Hallowed Bars cannot be crafted. They are exclusively obtained as drops from the three mechanical bosses.
12. Are Hallowed Bars Used in Many Crafting Recipes?
Yes, Hallowed Bars are used in a wide variety of crafting recipes, including armor sets, weapons, and tools. They are essential for progressing through mid-Hardmode content.
13. What are some other Hallowed-themed items I can obtain?
Besides the Hallowed armor and Hallowed Bars, you can find other Hallowed-themed items like the Crystal Shard, Blessed Apple (for summoning a unicorn mount), and various Hallowed-themed furniture and decorative items within the Hallow biome.
14. Are there any bugs related to Hallowed Bar drops?
Occasionally, players may encounter a bug where a boss appears not to drop loot. Double-check the area around the boss’s death location, as the loot may have spawned in an obscure spot. If you are using mods, consider removing the mods to see if that solves the problem. If you’re playing multiplayer, ensure you met all of the requirements.
15. Can mechanical bosses drop Hallowed Bars in Calamity mod?
No, the Calamity Mod alters many aspects of the base Terraria game. Therefore, it should be noted that Mechanical bosses no longer drop Hallowed bars when you install the Calamity mod.
Mastering Mid-Hardmode
Knowing that The Twins drop Hallowed Bars is just the first step. Understanding how to effectively farm them, utilize the bars for crafting, and strategically progress through Hardmode will significantly improve your Terraria gameplay. Embrace the challenge, prepare your arena, and conquer the mechanical bosses to reap the rewards of Hallowed gear.
