Hello all! It's Phoenixblade here, and I'm back with another Mini-biome suggestion. I present to you:
Reach Banner.png

Introduction
The Reach is a Mini-Biome that generates Post-EoC. Two are found in a Small World, 3 in a Medium one, and 4-5 in a Large World. It aims to fill the Purity Biome as it is usually the largest and most desolate in a world. It also aims to add a new throwing armor set that can be used to fight the next boss (Eater of Worlds/Brain of Chthulu).


Overview
Map.png
The Reach is a pretty small biome, encompassing around 50-80 tiles in length. On the Surface, around two to three campfires would be present. What actually signals for enemies to be spawned is the presence of 10-15 Severed Skulls or Crude Cudgels. On one of the two sides of The Reach, a deep pit of stone traps the player, forcing them to scale it. There will also be an entrance to the below-ground section of the reach, comprised of Dart Traps, Spikes, torches, and an occasional chest.
In addition, Reaches will almost always spawn on top of an existing Enchanted Sword Shrine, allowing that to be found as well.

Now, onto The Reach's content!

With that, I end off the suggestion for The Reach. I plan on making a series of Mini-Biomes to spruce up Terraria where it is seems lacking/empty. All sprites were made by me. What did you think? Do you have any comments, suggestions, or tips? Let me know!

If you support The Reach and this suggestion, put this BBCode in your signature!

Sure! Why don't you PM me so I can help you out?
 
this looks awesome. the only things i would change is making the debuff apply more often(from the player to the enemy, not vice versa) to make it a bit more useful, and possibly make a flask for it. also, it's a bit weird that the sanctified slasher is a shortsword(which don't slash). other than that, i love it! maybe you could add this to the spirit mod.

Thanks for the feedback! I changed the names a bit, as well as your chance to inflict Withering Leaf.
