Events

Events are unique occurrences that provide interesting gameplay elements, such as new enemies and drops. Thorium adds a few things to existing events, increasing the amount of content the game offers.

Blood Moon


Several new enemies are added, including a mini-boss, Patch Werk. Completing at least one Blood Moon and defeating Patch Werk is necessary for the Confused Zombie NPC to move in. Completing a Blood Moon is also essential for the progression of a Healer character, as an important Healer item, Unholy Shards, drops from Blood Moon enemies and is necessary to craft core Healer items. In addition, there are a plethora of other new drops from the event. The Blood Moon Medallion allows the player to summon a Blood Moon on any night.

Rain


During Hardmode Blizzards several new enemies and a new boss called the Borean Strider may spawn. The Borean Strider has fast attacks and may prove challenging for unprepared players, but it drops several ice-themed weapons that make it worthwhile to fight. It also has an Expert Mode exclusive Treasure Bag. The Rain Stone allows the player to make it rain and stop the rain at will.

Goblin Army


Three new enemies, the Goblin Trapper, Goblin Drummer, and Goblin Spirit Guide, are added, as well as a few new drops that can assist the player earlier or later in the game.

Pirate Invasion


One new enemy, the Sea-Shanty Singer is added, as well as a few new drops that can assist the player.
