Which is better? Crimson or Corruption

It's a matter of opinion.

Crimson: Tunnels easier to get into, harder enemies/boss, better items/armor

Corruption: Tunnels hard to get in, easier enemies/boss, slightly worse items/armor

Crimson armor gives you the Health Regen, and some good items are the Crimson Cloud and Panic Necklace.

Corruption armor gives you a Melee speed Boost, and some good items are the Vilethorn and Band of Starpower.


I personally enjoy Corruption more, because I enjoy playing as a mage, and because the boss is fun/nostalgic.

I would have to disagree. The Corruption shafts have a bit of a concave feeling when dropping down, so you are able to catch a ledge. In contrast, the Crimson has the massive circle with branch-offs and is completely convex when you get to the opening; there is no where to catch onto and you need blocks.

The crimson have enemies thats blitzkrieg you till you are cornered while corruption enemies fly around and are light as a feather to smack away.

The corruption features pits of death that can often cause you to fall to ur death, the crimson just looks like a cave....with teeth.

The crimson is red and bloody and gorey, corruption is purple and looks like death and depressing.

The corruption is easy to navigate when inside since its just corridors and drops, the crimson usually features a massive open area with small areas connected to it forcing you to climb.

The crimson's boss is a cloaking brain, the corruption is a worm that burrows up ur geulies.


In my opinion I like the crimson more cuz it looks cooler and DOESNT HAVE PITS OF DEATH, i keep getting corruption and its easier in the beginning since no raging cyclopes nom on your head.

I actually meant the actual process of getting in to the main room; The steep drops of Corruption, and the winding tunnels of Crimson. But for the main room, Corruption is much simpler, as there's fewer places you have to jump over a large hole.

Definetly Crimson. I find it a lot less creepy, and the chasms don't drop straight down.

Crimson by FAR.

It allows you to acquire the Golden Shower in hard mode, which trumps ABSOLUTELY anything else if you want a good time.

The fact that it reduces defense of enemies drastically and that it infinitely penetrates, it is an extremely powerful weapon.

Watch me kill the destroyer with it 8+ times in one night with merely cobalt armor! (latest patch) even though some wiki's say it has been changed, it is still ridiculously OP:

I'd also have to say Crimson. Interestingly enough, the Fleshcatcher, the fishing pole made from Crimson's Crimtane Ore, is slightly better than its Corruption counterpart, the Fisher of Souls. The chasms are also more accessible and less steep in the Crimson.

I'd really suggest that you have two worlds with both, though. The Shadow Orbs you find in the Corruption are valuable to have, and you can't find a Crimson counterpart to those.

@football the name of the gun is the undertaker

and personally i like the corruption more because there are easier enemies in hardmode the armors dont really matter and neither biome really has anything of use unless you need money from the bosses so all that really matters in the end is the hardness and the crimson definately has that, so i like the corruption more

[VagueCryptid]

The armor AND the weapons and materials of each biome are VERY valuable, to any class really.
Having a gun as soon as possible is crucial for Rangers, both have that.

Melee characters need either Light's Bane or the Blood Butcherer to make Night's Edge, part of the Terra Blade.

Magic users will LOVE the Corruption because of Vilethorn and the Band of Starpower, but Crimson later on has Golden Shower.

Summoners are always the most ignored class as of writing, but you could argue that Corruption's Vilethorn is a summoner's item(item desrcription is 'Summons a Vilethorn.'
or Crimson's Crimson Cloud is also a summoner item.

It really depends on what your strengths and weaknesses are,for example. if you enjoy using magic, then you might go for a Corruption world, but then once you get into Hardmode, make another world Hardmode just for the spells and items of Crimson.

I say corruption, Ive just always had an extremely easy time traversing it and beating destroyer or worlds

[Son_ofSpartacus]

In terms of how they feel, I defenitely enjoy the Crimson Biome more than the Corruption. The music and the scenery and the mobs just tell you that you need to stop this. I legitimately dislike going into the Crimson just because of how terrifying it is to me. I carry a clentaminator with tons o green solution on me at all times because of that. Corruption is certainyl a lot more enjoyable. It fits into Terraria's exploration element perfectly.

Crimson vs Corruption.

With the exception of an item or two from each respective area what it really boils down to is that the gear that drops from corruption is mostly for melee characters and Crimson for mage's.

Crimson.
No ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ worm enemies.
