Demonite Ore is a pre-Hardmode ore. It is primarily dropped from the Eater of Worlds, as well as the Eye of Cthulhu in Corruption worlds. Demonite Ore can also be found rarely in small veins underground. When below 0 ft in elevation, a Gold Pickaxe or better is needed to mine it, otherwise any pickaxe can be used.

It is the Corruption counterpart to The Crimson's Crimtane Ore.

  • Demonite Ore does not spread the Corruption at any time.
  • Unlike its Crimson counterpart, Demonite Ore can be found in increased amounts within Corruption cave systems.
  • Very rarely, Demonite Ore can spawn extremely close to the surface.

Tips

  • Demonite Ore can be mined early on using explosives, granting players powerful Demonite gear in the early game.
  • Repeatedly killing the Eater of Worlds and selling the Demonite Ore it drops is a good way to make money.

Trivia

  • The placed block texture of Demonite Ore resembles scales, likely alluding to Shadow Scales, a material dropped by the Eater of Worlds.
