demoniac altars

[GatlingSheep]

what happens if i destroy some of them before i kill wall of flesh? do they spawn the ores or nothing hppens?

[SomoneSuspicious]

you cant destroy them. If you try you'll simply lose about half of your current health.

[Redux]

The thing is, how would you destroy them? You can't do it without the pwnhammer that the wall of flesh drops.

dril mount destroys evrything

[SomoneSuspicious]

havent tried the Drill mount on them but if it does destroy them then it surley is a bug and not meant to be this way. Otherwhise using a hardmode hammer pre-hardmode should not make you lose health.

[Danté]

Drill mount literally crushes evrything. It is supposed to. and it's after hardmode so no prob

[SomoneSuspicious]

But he is pre-hardmode so demon altars should literally be indestructable

[Danté]

hmm true, unless someone gives him ♥♥♥♥.

i have the hammer i just started another world

If you were to destroy a Altar before Hardmode without a Pwnhammer, you'll lose half of your health upon first hit. If you do have the Pwnhammer but still before Hardmode then it will have the same effect. No matter how many hits you make on an Altar, you'll die a painful death to an indestructible object.

[Drag]

Can confirm the drill mount will destroy an alter pre-hardmode. Nothing happens in the process. Otherwise if you do take a hammer that normally can break it, as Mega Munchy said, you'll still take the damage you would from trying with a lesser hammer. No brining in a pwnhammer to a pre-hardmode world just to easily grab the new ores.

Essentially you have to destroy the Wall of Flesh to destroy the alters.

[Spoopy]

All of you guys saying it's impossible, he's talking about bringing a pwnhammer from another character...

Anyways you will still lose half your health before beating the wall of flesh.

Your world needs to have the mechanical flag of "The Wall of Flesh died at least once" before you can gain something by breaking the altars. As long as it died on that world you can bring in thousands of characters with the right hammer and you can still break them.
The mount is doing undesired behavior as you get nothing, so don't do it.

If I use the mount after wall of flesh it actually says that "your world has been...." like usual, so no problem.
