This guide will teach you how to get all the current Hardmode NPCs in Terraria.
Steps
-
1Defeat a Pirate Invasion. You can summon one by defeating a Goblin Invasion in Hardmode to acquire a Pirate Map. Using it will summon a pirate invasion (on PC you will have to defeat flying ships via destroying cannons to get past it). A Pirate will then move into a house if you have one unoccupied.
-
2Make a house in a surface Mushroom Biome. You need to go to the underground mushroom biome and keep breaking the tall grass that grows from it. Do this until you get Mushroom Biome seeds. Make an artificial mushroom biome by getting mud from the jungle and laying it somewhere, then plant the seed into the mud. Build a house in the biome once the glowing mushrooms grow, and then a Truffle will move into that house. This house can't be underground, it has to be on top of the grass in the artificial Mushroom biome.Advertisement

3Explore the Cavern layer. You can encounter a bound Wizard. Talk to him to unbind him and leave him. He will eventually move into your house.
-
4Defeat one of the three Mechanical Bosses. We recommend the Destroyer, as it's the easiest to spawn and beat. You can spawn it by using a Mechanical Worm, which is crafted from 6 Souls of Night, 15 Vertabrae/Rotten Chunk, and 5 Iron Bars at a Mythril or Orithcalum Anvil. After one is defeated, the Steampunker will spawn in an available house.
-
5After all three (just one as of the Mobile version) Mechanical Bosses are defeated, a message will appear that says; "The Jungle grows restless..." Once you see this message appear, it means Plantera's Bulb has spawned somewhere in the Underground Jungle. Find it and destroy it. This will summon the boss Plantera. After you beat her, the Cyborg will want to live in a house.
-
6Beat the Frost Legion, which is summoned by a Snow Globe. After you beat it, Santa Claus is available to spawn (note: You only have from December 15 to December 31 to get Santa to spawn. After that, he no longer spawns. Once you get him, he stays all year round, though).Advertisement

QuestionHow do I find/defeat Plantera?
The Next Level GamingCommunity AnswerYou can find Plantera in the jungle. The spawn for her is a pink bulb that can spawn anywhere underground. You should fight Plantera in a big open room, as some of her attacks are easier to dodge this way. -
QuestionAre the mechanical bosses just updated metal versions of three bosses in the pre-hard mode boss?The Next Level GamingCommunity AnswerYes, the mechanical bosses are the three original bosses of Terraria, but with some small changes. They are mostly just metal versions of their older selves. The twins have two eyes instead of one, and Skeletron Prime has four arms instead of two.
-
QuestionIt says I have an NPC ready to settle. I built an appropriate house, but they still won't settle. What's wrong?Community AnswerMake sure that the house is square, at least 15 by 15, completely covered in the back with a wall, and includes a table, light, chair, and door. If all of that has been done, then you just need to be patient.
-
QuestionDoes the mushroom biome spread?Community AnswerIt does not. If you have the truffle, you can get a solution that the Clentaminator uses to turn the jungle into a mushroom biome.
-
QuestionHow do I get the tavern keeper on the PC version of Terraria?Community AnswerYou can find him underground or on land if you are lucky, but only after you’ve beaten the Eater of Worlds or the Brain of Cthulhu.

QuestionHow do I make a surface mushroom biome in Terraria?Community AnswerYou will have to get the Clentaminator from the steampunker and get the blue solution from the truffle, which turns the forest to a mushroom biome, but this only works in the forest biome.

QuestionWhy is a person in Terraria not settling in my well-made home for more than a week?Community AnswerGo to your menu and go to the house icon. Click the question mark, then click your house. It will either say what's wrong with it or that it's not compatible; you can either fix the mistake or build a new one.

QuestionWhy can't I find a Jungle Temple for the Golem?Community AnswerThe Jungle Temple does not spawn in all worlds. Especially when you are getting beaten.
