Aquatic Depths

File:Aquatic depths banner.png

The Aquatic Depths is an underground biome completely filled with water. It is found underneath the Ocean biome's sandy floor, opposite of the dungeon. The player can enter the Aquatic Depths through a huge gap in the sand.

The biome features its own unique tiles, backdrops, enemies, loot and music. Certain ambient objects found in the biome can be broken to release bubbles that briefly allow players that touch them to breathe underwater. Platforms that elevate Depth Chests can randomly be found within the pockets of open water within the biome; they contain their own assortment of unique loot.

In addition to containing many veins of Mossy Gold or Mossy Platinum Ore, the Aquatic Depths also contains a unique ore, Aquaite, and a unique gem, Pearls, that are both used in several water-related items. It also contains pockets of Brackish Clumps, which can be extractinated similarly to Silt and Slush.

While in the Aquatic Depths, players will receive a Choking Aura debuff, which makes them lose health over time if they are exposed to air. This debuff will be replaced with the Untainted Waters buff if Abyssion, The Forgotten One has been defeated at least once in that world, making the waters of the biome breathable and the air non-toxic.

Notes

• Water in this biome takes on a very deep, dark blue color, but the difference is somewhat hard to see due to the background wall.
• Upon defeating Plantera for the first time in a world, a status message, "Something stirs in the Aquatic Depths..." will be displayed, notifying the player that Aquatic Hallucinations now spawn in the Aquatic Depths and therefore Abyssion, The Forgotten One can now be summoned.
• This biome cannot be artificially created, as the background wall tiles cannot be gathered.

Tips

• Players exploring the Aquatic Depths run the risk of drowning if not equipped with the right equipment. To avoid drowning, bring items that aid in breathing underwater, such as the Gills Potion, the Golden Scale or Ocean Armor.
