Terraria Prismite Fishing Guide: Locations, Recipes, & How to Get

(Estimated Read Time: 3 minutes)

Terraria requires its players to gather specific ingredients to craft its many powerful items. Some of these craftable items even need fish, like the Prismite. So, continue reading as we help you find and fish the Prismite in Terraria.

Terraria Prismite Location

Introduced in Update 1.2.4, the Prismite in Terraria is a Hardmode fish only found in the Hallow biome. That means players must first defeat the Wall of Flesh to trigger Hardmode and convert the Crimson or Corruption biome to the Hallow before catching this fish.

How to Fish Prismite

Fish Prismite at any reasonably deep body of water in the Hallow biome. However, the chances of catching a Prismite are higher when fishing at the surface and sky layers. Attempting to catch this fish at the underground layers can be more challenging since you might also catch other marine wildlife. Thankfully, the Prismite doesn’t require a specific fishing rod and bait, unlike the Duke Fishron boss. However, you might be able to catch this fish sooner rather than later if you’re using a good fishing rod with a bait with a fairly high fishing power. Some notable examples of fishing lures to use are the following:

• Tree Nymph Butterfly
• Gold Worm
• Gold Water Strider
• Gold Ladybug
• Gold Grasshopper
• Gold Ladybug
• Gold Dragonfly
• Gold Butterfly
• Master Bait

Note: All fishing lures mentioned above have a 50% base fishing power.
