Drops
Nurse drops nothing in the game's drop rules.
Medical arrival and life crystal thresholds
The Nurse is the essential medical practitioner of Terraria, providing instantaneous restoration when wounds become life-threatening. To persuade her to move in, players must construct a suitable empty room, ensure the Merchant has already taken up residence, and have at least one player consume a subterranean Life Crystal to raise their maximum health beyond 100 points.
She possesses 250 life and 15 defense. When night falls and aggressive undead assault her medical office, she retaliates by flinging sharp syringes at enemies. More impressively, she periodically throws regenerative syringes at herself and injured fellow townspeople, keeping the village alive during invasions.
Rapid clinical triage and emergency healing
Her primary clinical service is immediate field triage. Speaking with her and selecting the Heal option restores health to maximum and cleanses common debuffs in exchange for coins.
Her treatment cost scales according to missing health, active status ailments, and the world difficulty mode. Because her healing is instantaneous, players frequently build a teleporter from difficult boss battle arenas directly into her clinic, pausing briefly mid-fight to purchase a heal before warping back into the fray. Status debuffs like Poisoned, Bleeding, and On Fire! are cleansed during treatment, though cooldowns like Potion Sickness remain intact.
Hallowed clinic and medical triage discounts
Medical triage fees scale with missing life, active ailments, and difficulty tiers, making the Nurse's mood critical for cost-effective recovery. Her full environmental ratings and companion rankings are shown in the preference table above.
Pairing her with the Arms Dealer in a shared desert or hallowed clinic secures the deepest price cuts on healing treatments, allowing players to heal affordably during frantic boss encounters while keeping regional pylons active. Placing her room beside a bed or teleporter hub provides rapid emergency recovery before jumping back into combat.
Trivia
- She can heal herself and nearby wounded townspeople during combat with thrown syringes.
- Her dialogue frequently complains about reckless players continuously bringing grotesque monster bites into her clinic.
