Additionally, some NPC's sell special items if placed within a graveyard, and it spawns zombies and special enemies like ravens and ghosts. Here, we are going to go over all these is to know about this spooky biome.

Updated March 10, 2023 by Jacqueline Zalace: We've updated this guide with refreshed formatting, as well as added more information about crafting with Ecto Mist. Now, you can check out a list of all items that the mist lets you create.

Die At Least Five Times

Terraria: How To Create The Graveyard Effect (1)

The first thing you'll want to do is collect tombstones. To do so, you will need to purposefully kill yourself at least five time times, and then gather the tombstones up in your inventory.

You don't have to die in the exact spot you want your graveyard, you can manually move the tombstones and create a fake one. It's also possible to make a graveyard biome above ground, in the air. If you were to make a floating Graveyard, the ground beneath it would still take on the same effect.

If you are playing with the Calamity mod, then the number of tombstones required is increased to 20.

Place The Tombstones Together

Terraria: How To Create The Graveyard Effect (2)

Now, you just need to place the tombstones! Overall, they should be relatively close together, similar to a Graveyard in real life.

Once at least five tombstones are placed, the surrounding area will fog up and become lifeless. The misty look of the Graveyard will intensify when you add more tombstones. If your graveyard is not coming to life, be sure there are no sunflowers nearby. Each sunflower undoes the effect of one gravestone.

Graveyard Enemies
