Soul of Light is a Hardmode crafting material dropped by most enemies in the Underground Hallow with a 1/5 (20%) chance. On an Expert Mode world, this rate is increased to 1/3 (33%). This includes stray enemies not native to the biome, such as Goblins and other enemies.

Crafting all items on the  PC version, including a full stack of five Light Discs, excluding the Boss-summoning items and Key of Light, requires 98 Soul of Light (89 on console/mobile). One of each Boss-summoning item and a Key of Light requires an additional 24 Soul of Light (14 for console/mobile), for a total of 122 (103 for console/mobile).

Notes

• Although the tooltip says: 'The essence of light creatures', souls of light can be dropped by any enemy as long as they are in the Underground Hallow biome.
• Bosses cannot drop Souls of Light.
• In the  PC version, Meteor Heads no longer drop souls of light while in the underground Hallow.
• On larger worlds, souls of light sometimes may not be dropped in the underground layer, and can only be harvested in the cavern layer.
• On the iOS version, there is a currently unknown chance of souls dropping in the above-ground Hallow.
