Legacy:Mechanical bosses
On the
Old-gen console version and Nintendo version, defeating any single mechanical boss for the first time will cause the following to happen:
- More Life Fruit will grow in the Jungle, though they begin growing in small numbers when Hardmode is initiated.
- (3DS version) Plantera's Bulbs begin spawning in the Underground Jungle, allowing Plantera to be summoned.
Achievements

Tips
- On the Nintendo
version, the player can find a Drax in an Underworld Shadow Chest, allowing the player to acquire Turtle armor before defeating any of the mechanical bosses, making it much easier to defeat them on the first try.
- On the
Old-gen console version and Nintendo version, it is possible to obtain a Terra Blade after defeating a single mechanical boss. Note that three Broken Hero Swords (As opposed to one) from a Solar Eclipse will be required, however.
