This is a Town NPC. A House may be required in order for it to appear.

The Tracker is an NPC vendor that will spawn once the following conditions have been met:

When threatened by enemies, he will defend himself with an iron broadsword.

Contracts[ | ]

The Tracker hands out contracts to kill certain rare enemies. Contracts are separated into three groups, based on progression:

  • Tier 1 is available by default; this group encompasses enemies encountered in Pre-Hardmode.
  • Tier 2 is unlocked after defeating the Wall of Flesh; this group encompasses enemies between the beginning of Hardmode up to defeating the three Mechanical Bosses.
  • Tier 3 is the final tier, unlocked after all the previous contracts; this group has a single contract against Bone Lee.

The contracts in each tier can be completed in any order. After completing a specific contract, new items corresponding to the target enemy will be unlocked for purchase in the Tracker's shop. These items can be bought with Vanquisher Medals, which are obtained from killing said targets.

We were an unstoppable duo, but made the grave error of underestimating a particularly difficult contract. In a desperate attempt to save me, he was struck down within the Dungeon halls where he surely rots. I've never forgiven myself for what happened... Please, go into the Dungeon and put his tortured soul to rest." Bone LeeBone Lee The Black BladeThe Black Blade

I'm confident, that at this point, you've surpassed any strength we thought we possessed. It's sobering to be humbled by an upstart like you, kid. As a reward, I've got a collection of weapons Lee would often use. I'm sure he would be honored if you wielded them in battle. Take care out there!"
