Adamantite Ore belongs to the third tier of the early Hardmode ores. Upon the third altar broken, either it or Titanium Ore can spawn in the cavern layer, roughly at lava depth. Mining Adamantite Ore requires a Mythril/Orichalcum Pickaxe or better.

As with all early Hardmode ores, decreasing quantities of the ore spawn with every third altar broken afterwards, it is immune to explosives, and it can be obtained from Hardmode crates.

Crafting all Adamantite items requires 174 Adamantite Bars, plus 30 raw ore for an Adamantite Forge, for a total of 696 Adamantite Ore.

Tips

  • Adamantite is a common sight on the ceiling of the Underworld, especially after having smashed many altars. Looking near large pools of lava can help, as lava produces enough light to see many Adamantite deposits.

Trivia

  • Adamantite gets its name from the term adamant, which has historically been used to describe exceptionally hard materials such as diamond. Adamant and variations have been used to describe materials with incredible durability in fantasy and mythology, including adamantine in Greek mythology and adamantium in Marvel Comics.
    • The word adamant is also used for people with firm, unshakeable convictions.
  • Adamantite is one of three fictional ores added to the world from smashing altars in Hardmode, the others being Mythril and Orichalcum. Palladium, Cobalt, and Titanium are all real-life metals, but their real colors diverge from how they are depicted in-game.
  • Adamantite Ore's inventory sprite is that of Cobalt Ore, but rotated and recolored.
