How to Get the Phoenix Blaster in Terraria

Last Updated: March 28, 2019

The Phoenix Blaster is one of the strongest pre-hardmode guns in Terraria. It helps greatly in the battle against the Wall of Flesh. This guide will teach you how to get it.

Steps

1
Do the following things:
- Defeat Skeletron
- Obtain 20 obsidian
- Find Hell
2
Enter the Dungeon. Open Golden Chests until you find the Handgun. You'll probably have to enter several dungeons, as the Handgun is fairly rare.

3
Get 20 obsidian. You can create an Obsidian Generator or just naturally find it.
4
Go to the Underworld; or Hell. This sounds absurd, but make a house, place a bed in it, and Set your Spawn Point to the house. Hell has lots of strong enemies and lava; too much exposure (which is more than likely) can kill you. It becomes a pain to navigate down to the Underworld again and again after you die, so just live there temporarily!
5
Mine Hellstone. To do this, you'll need a Nightmare Pickaxe/Deathbringer Pickaxe.
- Easy method: Defeat the Eater of Worlds.
- Easier way: Go onto one of your worlds that contains the Crimson. Summon the Brain of Cthulhu with the Vertebrae. Every third Crimson Heart you break will also summon it. Defeat it, and get Crimtane ore by repeating this. Craft a Nightmare/Deathbringer Pickaxe.
6
Start mining Hellstone. You'll need 60 Hellstone ore.
7
Once you get 60 Hellstone ore, find a Ruined House in Hell. Find a Hellforge in one of them.
8
Combine the 60 Hellstone ore and 20 obsidian at the Hellforge. You should have 20 Hellstone bars.
9
If you want, you can return to the Surface now. Combine the Handgun and 20 Hellstone bars at the Iron/Lead anvil, and you'll get the Phoenix Blaster!

The best way is when you have the obsidian skull equipped so you won't burn when you stand on the ore.

Get some Beenades. They decimate the hungry and the wall.

It is not found unless lava makes contact with water, or the other way around.

Warnings

Never attempt the Dungeon without defeating Skeletron.

Hellstone can burn you. When you mine an ore of Hellstone, lava comes out. Always have protection against it.
