Do demon altars count for world status corruption percentage?

[Pawlogates]

Cause I made a new world and Im pretty sure I cleansed all the corruption blocks but the bloody hag still says its 1% corrupt... Anyone who got the achievement without destroying the altars? (destroying them converts a random block to corruption which would suck really bad...)

I was able to cleanse completely without destroying the altars. They are not counted.

Im going insane lol I checked both of the biomes like 10 times now and cleansed the edges

It took me awhile finding that last chunk. Explored all around the natural spawn points of corruption, used the Clentaminator with Green Solution and just hosed down every bit of screen space I could find.

As of v 1.4.4, destroying altars does NOT spawn corruption (or other blocks).

Also, you need to exit + re-enter your world to update the dryad's status.

I reloaded the world after each of expanding of cleansed area... still 1% :c will break the altars tho thanks for the heads up maybe that works idk (if you lied I will be so mad lmao)

Evil ore, crystal gems and altars don't count for evil/hallow percentages, as a heads up

I'm also currently down to 1%. I've checked the world in TerraMap, I can't find any more corruption at all, on either side of the map. I'm in a small, pre-WoF world, so no Hallow. Figured it would be easier to do this achievement, but alas....Any advice would be very welcome!

I just gave up and used terra map and it turned out ther was a small pile of crimson stone veeeeeery far from the cleansed area... really weird but whatever I reloaded the world and got the achievement after talking to the ungrateful ♥♥♥♥♥ so if terra map tells you theres no more blocks (use set "crimson blocks") then reload the world and talk to the dryad.

Thank you so much! I completely forget the "Sets" option in TerraMap, but this did the trick :D There was a big patch of underground desert between what I missed and the main corruption. Wasn't even part of the desert really, just a detatched "blob" of sand. Plus ONE block a bit further away. I love TerraMap for looking for stuff like this :)

Glad it was helpful. This achievement is actually the only thing in the game I hate because it requires world hopping to be reasonably doable... I love that you are able to world hop in this game because it adds depth to it without damaging the way of playing that I enjoy the most, EXCEPT this achievement does that :( Wish there was some way of avoiding that but oh well.

Pawlogates, I created this small world yesterday, to spesifically look for shimmer. Hence the small world, so things would be easier to find. I needed a new world for that anyway. I also didn't want to get rid of Hallow in any of the worlds I play the most. Two areas of corruption seemed more doable :)

I'm often creating new worlds for spesific things. Its also useful for the fishing quests, which is taking longer than I want, its really not very enjoyable lately.

Hey I get that completely, thats why I personally dislike the achievement but it makes 100% sense to make an achievement that encourages using a mechanic in the game :v With the fishing quests, I remember hating it but its actually fine in retrospect as this amount of fishing goes along perfectly with 100%ing the bestiary which I did many times as its just fun to me and I did 50 quests on one of the worlds way after already having the achievement for it. Actually I'd encourage anyone to switch their end goal of a playthrough from killing ML to 100%ing the bestiary because I found that it encourages making use of a lot of the depth that normally just wasnt being explored by me before, in a very fun and engaging way. (Obviously wiki is key for playing this way the first time though)

[Kathykins]

I always make liberal use of the Wiki. Its great for things like the beastiary, I just like having lists of what I need to do, because I usually can't remember :) that's one of the bad things about getting older, I suppose XD

I didn’t know that that’s good since it was annoying when they spreaded on a world
