Soul of Night is an item in Terraria. It was added in patch 1.1. It can only be obtained in hard mode. The item drops with a 20% chance from all creatures that died in an underground part of the crimson. The soul does not burn in lava and remains at the place of death of the monster (i.e. does not fall down).
Souls begin to drop if the player goes down to the stone layer. The chance of dropping souls is always the same, regardless of the depth.
During Terraria updates, this item was changed many times:
- Version 1.3. the sprite was changed.
- Version 1.2.3. No longer drops from meteor heads.
- Version 1.2. Increased drop chance from 14.29% to 20%. The maximum number in one slot has been increased from 250 to 999.
- Version 1.1. Soul of Night added to the game.
