Demon Altars and Crimson Altars can't be destroyed with a normal hammer. You have to pwn them.

— A loading screen tip

The Pwnhammer is a Hardmode hammer that is able to destroy Demon Altars and Crimson Altars with a few hits, blessing the world with one of the six Hardmode ores. It is always dropped by the Wall of Flesh. It has a sparkle effect when used which gives off a good deal of light, even in complete darkness.

Its best modifier is Light for harvesting purposes and Legendary for combat purposes.

Notes[]

• While the tooltip states that it can break them, Altars can only be destroyed in Hardmode worlds, i.e. worlds where the Wall of Flesh has been defeated.

Achievements[]

Trivia[]

• The name is a reference to a series of Metroid-based levels in a level pack named The Invasion 2 for Super Mario Bros. X, a game Redigit has previously worked on.
• The Pwnhammer shares the same color scheme as items crafted from Hallowed Bars, however it cannot be crafted itself.
• The "Pwn" part of the Pwnhammer's name was a popular gaming term from the unofficial language Leet. It is derived from a misspelling of "own", which denotes success and domination, usually in multiplayer. A succeeding player is "pwning" while a failing player is being "pwned".
