To completely purify a Terraria world, you will need to eliminate all Corruption, Crimson, and Hallow biomes, which can be achieved by using a Clentaminator or Terraformer with Green Solution, and utilizing Biome Sight Potion to locate the affected areas, or by spreading the Hallow biome to purify other biomes. This process can be time-consuming, especially in Hardmode, but with the right tools and strategies, it is possible to achieve a completely pure world, where the Dryad will praise your efforts, saying “[Name of World] is completely pure. You have done an amazing job!”
Understanding the Process of Purification
The most reliable way to completely convert or purify a world is to dig multiple Hellevators with a horizontal distance of 120 or 190 tiles between each other, then glide down each one using Wings or a Featherfall Potion, while spraying both Green Solution and Holy Water to remove any Corruption or Crimson biomes.
Essential Tools and Materials
To start purifying your world, you’ll need a few essential tools and materials, including the Clentaminator, Green Solution, Terraformer, Biome Sight Potion, and a stack of coins to purchase the necessary items from the Steampunker NPC.
