Where do I get Adamantite Ore? How do I beat the Corruption?

[thugger]

I allready beated the wall of flesh and destroyed lots of demon altars.
I still cant find much Adamantite.
How can I get rid of this Corruption?

after defeating the wall of flesh.. adamantium,mythril and cobalt appear randomlly in your world. cobalt is closer tot he surface while adamantium ius much deeper. try using a spelunker potion when hunting for ore

That is incorrect tho, you have to destroy demon altars to get ores to spawn. Lets call them tiers, tier 1 is worst and tier 3 is best. Palladium/cobalt is tier 1 mythril/orichalcum is tier 2 and adamantite/titanium is tier 3. If you didnt already understand you cant get both palladium and cobalt or adamantite and titanium.

Keep in mind only smash I'd say at most maybe 5 to 10 altars as the more you smash the less new ores are generated and the game will spawn random patches of Corruption/Crimson or Hallow somewhere in your world. So in other words the more you smash the less you will get in return and the more you will spread corruption.

The way to get rid of it.. well if you got a lot of cash to burn you can buy a clenteminator from the Steampunker and a butt load of solution and run around and convert corrupted patches alternatively you can craft some holy water and try and block it by spawning small patches of hallow around it as Corruption/Crimson can't spread past hallow(pending it's not a tiny patch)

Keep in mind though that you need some corruption/crimson as well as hallow for souls of night and souls of light.
