Main article: Lore


Lore Items are items with a piece of lore written into them, and are dropped by their respective boss on their first kill. They are also able to be crafted using Victory Shards and the boss's respective trophy. The descriptions of these items are insights and commentary on both locations the player has been to and bosses the player has slain. They are implied to be written from the point of view of the Jungle Tyrant, Yharim.

Monstro (Lore) Monstro Isaac and his mother lived alone in a small house on a hill. Isaac kept to himself, drawing pictures and playing with his toys as his mom watched Christian broadcasts on the television.
Life was simple, and they were both happy. That was, until the day Isaac’s mom heard a voice from above. “Your son has become corrupted by sin. He needs to be saved.” “I will do my best to save him, my Lord,” Isaac’s mother replied, rushing into Isaac’s room, removing all that was evil from his life. Again the voice called to her, "Isaac’s soul is still corrupt. He needs to be cut off from all that is evil in this world and confess his sins." “I will follow your instructions, Lord. I have faith in thee,” Isaac’s mother replied, as she locked Isaac in his room, away from the evils of the world.
One last time, Isaac’s mom heard the voice of God calling to her. “You've done as I've asked, but I still question your devotion to me. To prove your faith, I will ask one more thing of you." "Yes Lord, anything!” Isaac’s mother begged. "To prove your love and devotion, I require a sacrifice. Your son, Isaac, will be this sacrifice. Go into his room and end his life, as an offering to me to prove you love me above all else." "Yes Lord", she replied, grabbing a butcher’s knife from the kitchen. Isaac, watching through a crack in his door, trembled in fear. Scrambling around his room to find a hiding place, he noticed a trap door to the basement hidden under his rug. Without hesitation, he flung open the hatch, just as his mother burst through his door, and threw himself down into the unknown depths below.

These scourge creatures are the largest aquatic predators and very rarely do they frequent such shallow waters.

The bitterness of my youth has long since subsided, but it is far too late. I must never repeat a mistake like this again.

The Devourer of Gods (Lore) The Devourer of Gods This serpent’s power to assimilate the abilities and energy of those it consumed is unique in almost all the known cosmos, save for its lesser brethren.

Once near identical to our own world, this dimension was extorted heavily for its resources
Eventually, all that remained was optimized terrain for combat.
The Fabricational Quartet Rarity Level: 15
Miracle Matter (Lore) Miracle Matter Draedon's experiments eventually led him to an exotic form of extradimensional crystal, emitting exceedingly powerful exosonic resonance. He exported these for use in his explosive conquest, but this extravagant power lies in your hands now. I suggest you leave this empty expanse, before those catastrophic fabrications can return to exterminate you, but you have already expertly proved them inferior once. The Fabricational Quartet Rarity Level: 15
Calamitas (Lore) Calamitas The witch unrivaled. Perhaps the only one amongst my cohorts to have ever given me cause for doubt.
Now that you have defeated her your destiny is clear.
Come now, face me.
Supreme Calamitas Rarity Level: 15
Goozma (Lore) Goozma A most chilling upset, in the hierarchical dominion of all things living.
To think the culmination of the lowest echelon of creatures could nevertheless possess an Auric soul, despite lacking any draconic heritage...
It became something greater, approaching a perfect being comprised of naught but imperfect parts....perhaps what truly makes a God will forever be unknown.
My apprehension towards your catalysis of this veritable harbinger of destruction's cultivation is outweighed by my curiosity towards it.
What could have influenced the form that it took? Its appearance belies the finesse and sophistication of the manipulation of its subjects.
What a pity it is that the fruits of its efforts came to nothing, in the end, An unremitting pattern in the cyclic annals of history.

Perhaps, from the perspective of Terraria, our own achievements amount to little more than the impotent writhing of slimes.

Goozma Rarity Level: 15


Trivia[]

  • The lore items used to give a variety of effects, for example:
    • Crabulon's lore item granted the player a single Delicious Meat every day.
    • The Perforators' lore item prevented Perforator Cysts from spawning.
    • Cryogen's lore item gave the player the Frozen debuff permanently.
  • Strangely, Adult Eidolon Wyrm does not have a lore item.
    • This is likely because its highly praised fight dialogue is more than enough to reveal several lore elements, and therefore has no need for a lore item.
