I have defeated the Wall of Flesh, unlocking hard mode. Why won't the Pwnhammer break Crimson Altars?

Is this a bug? I am unable to unlock the next tier of ore because I can't break a Crimson Altar.

(before you ask, YES, I have defeated the Wall of Flesh and I am on hard mode.)


Solution 1:

From your description it sounds like a bug.

My thought process to test it out would be as follows (until resolution was found).

  • Kill the Wall of Flesh again.
  • Create a new world and kill the Wall of Flesh.
  • Create a new character and world and try again.
  • Create a new character and world on a new mode type and then kill the Wall of Flesh.

Have you edited your game files in any way or attempted to cheat? Please don't take offense if you have not, but this is all I can think of.

Best of luck.
