Notes[edit | edit source]
- Although the tooltip reads "'The essence of dark creatures'", Souls of Night can be dropped by enemies that are not native to the Underground Corruption or Crimson.
- Enemies spawned by a statue will not drop souls, even if the statue is in the Underground Crimson/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.
- On the
Desktop version,
Console version, and
Mobile version, Meteor Heads will no longer drop souls, even when killed in the Underground Corruption/Crimson.
