Notes[ | ]
- The Biome is only accessible in Hardmode, and can be quite dangerous if the player is unprepared. If you enter before Hardmode, you are killed instantly with the reason of death being "Player died of Ligma."
- When Calamity is installed, the location of the biome is moved to the right, to not break too much of the Sunken Sea biome.
