Scoria Ore is a Hardmode ore which generates in the Abyss biome. It can be found on the underside of the floating Abyss Gravel or Pyre Mantle islands, dropping harmful lava particles into the water beneath itself. These lava particles have a base damage of 25.

Like Meteorite, making direct contact with Scoria Ore blocks inflicts the player with the Burning debuff, which can be prevented if the player has equipped the Obsidian Skull or its upgrades.

It requires at least a Picksaw to mine and is used to craft Scoria Bars at an Adamantite Forge or a Titanium Forge. It is also dropped by Chaotic Puffers and Devil Fish after Golem has been defeated.

Notes

  • 16-28 Scoria Ores can be obtained from Sulphurous Crates at a 20% chance after Golem has been defeated.
  • Scoria Ore cannot be destroyed by explosives, even after Golem has been defeated.
  • Unlike most other ores, this ore does not require a boss to be defeated in order to be mined aside from the Picksaw requirement, meaning that it can be mined even in a Pre-Hardmode world.
  • The lava particles that this ore drops can provide natural light to the normally pitch-black Abyss.

Trivia

  • Scoria is a type of igneous rock with similar properties to basalt.
