Ecto Mist

  

Desktop/Console/Mobile-Only Content: This information applies only to the Desktop, Console, and Mobile versions of Terraria.

Not to be confused with Ectoplasm.

Ecto Mist in a graveyard.

Ecto Mist from Tombstones with Echo Coating.

Ecto Mist is a visual effect produced by any Graveyard mini-biome consisting of seven or more Tombstones. Ecto Mist is translucent and floats along the ground, and appears on top of solid blocks in an unknown radius. Occasional wisps will appear in the air while Ecto Mist is visible. Every Tombstone placed, up to a maximum of ten, the mist will get thicker and the background will get darker.

Ecto Mist can, in conjunction with a crafting station, be utilized to craft certain unique items; most notably blocks and walls that are generated naturally and do not drop as items when destroyed. The player does not need to be in direct contact with the mist for that; being in a Graveyard is sufficient.

Ecto Mist cannot be used to craft the following naturally-generated objects:

• Any ambient objects
• Pots
• Gem Stashes
• Coin Stashes
• Enchanted Sword rocks, fake or real
• Larva
• Plant blocks (mainly grass, flowers and vines, but also including Plantera's Bulb and thorny bushes) - these can instead regenerate given enough time

It is also worth noting that walls crafted via Ecto Mist are different from their natural counterparts in ID: for example, the Spider Wall will not spawn Cobwebs nor allow for the creation of artificial Spider Nests, and it is not possible to create an artificial Underground Desert biome using crafted sandstone walls, as these also have a separate ID. The natural counterparts must be obtained by throwing the crafted version to Shimmer.
