Terraria wings guide

Mastering aerial movement is crucial in Terraria, and procuring specialized flight gear dramatically enhances mobility during combat and exploration.

Flight capability unlocks after activating Hardmode by defeating the Wall of Flesh. While some airborne gear requires specific boss drops or merchant transactions, most demand Souls of Flight – obtainable from wyverns and other aerial enemies in the upper map layers.
