Demon Altars and Crimson Altars can't be destroyed with a normal hammer. You have to pwn them.

— A loading screen tip

The Pwnhammer is a Hardmode hammer that is able to destroy Demon Altars and Crimson Altars with a few hits, blessing the world with one of the six Hardmode ores. It has a sparkle effect when used which gives off a good deal of light, even in complete darkness. The Pwnhammer is always dropped by the Wall of Flesh.

Its best modifier is Legendary. However, due to rounding, Legendary, Light, Deadly, Agile, Quick, and Nasty provide equal boosts to mining speed for this tool.

Notes

  • While the tooltip states that it can break them, Altars can only be destroyed in Hardmode worlds, i.e. worlds where the Wall of Flesh has been defeated.

Trivia

  • The name is a reference to a series of Metroid-based levels in a level pack named "The Invasion 2" for Super Mario Bros. X, a game Redigit has previously worked on.
  • The Pwnhammer shares the same color scheme as items crafted from Hallowed Bars, however it cannot be crafted itself.
  • The "pwn" part of the Pwnhammer's name was a popular gaming term from the unofficial language "leet". It is derived from a misspelling of "own", which denotes success and domination, usually in multiplayer. A succeeding player is "pwning" while a failing player is being "pwned".
