Want to know how to get a Molten Pickaxe in Terraria? If you are told that there is something far from perfect in Terraria, do not believe them. This one has everything to give you dozens or even hundreds of hours of unforgettable gameplay. And if you get tired of the standard mode, the Hard mod will prove that you don’t even know a tenth of the gameplay. Among other things, in the Hard mod, you will find dozens of new ores from which you can craft incredible items. But to get definite ores, you need a powerful pick straight from hell – A Molten Pickaxe. To get a Molten Pickaxe in Terraria, you will need to collect some materials and use Anvil, and our guide will help you with this.
How to Get Molten Pickaxe in Terraria
First of all, we note that the Molten Pickaxe is an item exclusively for the Hard mod. So in the classic game mode, you will not be able to get this item in any way. Thanks to the Molten Pickaxe, you can mine rare and durable ores like Cobalt, Palladium, and a few others, all of which can only find in Terraria Hard Mode.
Now that we have discussed the item, it is time to answer the main question. To get a Molten Pickaxe in Terraria, you must place twenty Hellstone Bars on an Iron or Lead Anvil and wait a few seconds. Unfortunately or fortunately, you won’t find a Hellstone Bar anywhere in the open world, so you’ll have to craft these Bars.
To craft a Hellstone Bar, you will need to use a Hellforge and place the following ingredients into it:
- Hellstone x3. The name of this item hints at how to get it. You must go to the Underworld and look for small veins of minerals emitting a slight glow. You may not find what you need immediately, so you’ll have to look. In addition, Hellstone is a relatively durable ore. So you will need Nightmare or the Deathbringer Pickaxe.
- Obsidian x1. Luckily getting Obsidian is much easier. Take a bucket of water and go to the mines. Find lava and pour water nearby. The top layer of lava will turn into Obsidian, and you can mine it with Gold, Platinum, or the more powerful Pickaxe.
Now you only have to collect 20 Obsidian and 60 Hellstone, after which you will receive the coveted pickaxe.
Terraria is available on Windows, PlayStation, iOS, Android, Xbox, and Google Stadia.
