Ethereal phantoms of hardmode nights

Wraiths are ghostly undead spirits that awaken immediately upon entering Hardmode, drifting toward players during nighttime and in subterranean caverns. Incapable of flying through wide-open empty air, they glide smoothly through solid blocks and walls, pursuing players inside fortified bases. They possess 160 health and 16 defense.

Repelling wall-penetrating spirits and collecting fast clocks

Their ghostly touch inflicts 65 contact damage in Classic and 130 in Expert, bypassing standard doorways and block barricades to catch players resting indoors. Defeating Wraiths yields the Fast Clock at a 1% rate, a vital immunity accessory that prevents the Slow debuff and serves as a component of the Ankh Shield.

Trivia

  • Wraiths can pass through solid tiles but require blocks beneath or near them to maintain elevation.
  • Building player housing elevated several blocks above the ground prevents Wraiths from reaching NPCs.
