Soul of Night is a Hardmode crafting material dropped by all enemies killed in the Underground Corruption or Underground Crimson, with a 20% chance. This includes stray enemies not native to the biome, such as Goblins or even monsters native to the Hallow. Crafting all items, excluding the Boss-summoning items, requires 87 Souls of Night. One of each Boss-summoning item requires an additional 12 Souls of Night, for a total of 99.

Notes

• Although the tooltip says: 'The essence of dark creatures', souls of night can be dropped by any enemy as long as they are in the Underground Corruption or Underground Crimson biome.
• Enemies spawned by a statue will not drop souls even if the statue is in the Underground Corruption. Spawned Bunnies and Goldfish that are turned into their corrupt counterpart (due to Vile Powder or a Blood Moon) will NOT drop souls either.
• Defeating The Destroyer within Underground Corruption will have a chance to drop only a single Soul of Night, while killing the Eater of Worlds there has a chance of dropping one for each killed segment.
• In the mobile version, Souls of Night only drop from Corruption enemies.
