I personally prefer crimson for the following reasons: -the ichor debuff is rather useful in early hardmode -Brain is more fun for me -it’s easier to navigate early on (like you said) I don’t want to fall to my death 2,763 times
Well as corruption fan to prevent me from dying I kinda place block on all the chasm, or I can get shield fron the dungeon that make you resistantd to knockback
I feel like roles could also make a difference here, specifically melee and ranger. Corruption seems to have more stuff related to ranger while crimson is more related to melee
People always talk about the evil biomes’ color pallets but I never hear about how they expand in Hardmode. The corruption’s cursed flames turns its relatively monochrome color scheme to a purple and lime, which works well for its overall diseased, infected theme, while the crimson’s ichor expands upon its red, gory theme with a fitting yellow
I think I prefer the Crimson, but having to deal with spiders (arachniphobia lol) and losing access to Wrath potions is a hard sell, even in exchange for Ichor. Still, you can always just hop to a disposable secondary world with the other evil biome no matter which one your main world has.
i myself do not like world hopping in my runs (just my preference) so i usually bring the dryad to a graveyard to get crimson seeds on a corruption world. and i can have both in coexistence ^.^
I like the crimson more because it was my first biome and it has many good weapons like the vampire knives, dart pistol and you can get ichor which is good to combine with dart pistol as ichor darts lower defense though the worm scarf is very useful
@@LastStraightFlyinCataclysm no, thats all that it gives to melee, while i dont remember a single thing that corruption gives for melee with one exception being shadow armor
@@sammym3you prolly need to go through both the crimson and corruption in the world and deal with both of them spreading at the same time While neither boss is extremely hard fighting both could be annoying to do
@@TazKoltindealing with both evils at once is no different than dealing with 2 biomes of the same evil in one world. just put corruption on one side of the map and crimson on the other also you know you wouldnt have to fight both bosses at once right

friend: CORRUPTION IS SO GOOD, IT HAS THE WORM SCARF!!! cousin: BRUH WE HAVE VAMPIRE KNIVES! LIFE STEAL IS OP!! me: *confused drunk seed player noises*
For me it's always been like: Corruption has the less annoying enemies, Crimson has the cooler gear, Crimson has the money farming boss, Corruption has an easier boss, but also Crimson has a lot of red and that is a favorite color of mine lol This said, I typically gen a corruption world anyways when doing a new character.
"Corruption has an easier boss" I'm confused, for me BoC is way easier. "Corruption has the less annoying enemies" Eaters of souls spawning in ungodly amounts:
@@filewr8515 Odd, I've always found EoW to be easier. It can *get* harder than BoC, but only if you let it get out of control. Though, neither are exactly "difficult" either. Mayhaps save for Master Mode which is just kinda painful in all respects.
My only reason for corruption being my favorite is how fun the music is! It also just feels so creative when they put the leitmotif in the underground theme and its almost like they wanted to trick you with the intro being the normal underground theme.
I prefer crimson in other aspects, but man you are 100% correct about how good the corruption music is. Crimson music gets annoying and boring, corruption music EPIC
I prefer crimson's music, it match the environment and biome, and gives a vibe that i am in a place that i shouldn't be at, especially underground crimson. ALSO 1:31 of underground crimson music
I just wanna quickly mention this but, you forgot the brain of confusion. That accessory CARRIED my entire melee master mode playthrough and I cannot list how many times that thing saved my life.
I also can't remember the number of deaths that didn't happen during my master mode summoner playthrough, but I have to give the reminder that it was nerfed in the last update, it isn't the lifesaver it once was, my gratitude remains the same though
The crimson creates these cool caves with body like caverns that feel like they’re breathing. The enemies are scary, bloody and truly evil. The corruption creates these gigantic nasty pits that ruin the world & sometimes cross horizontally and the enemies are just various sizes and lengths of eye covered bugs. Hell, when I first discovered the crimson I didn’t even realize it was an alternate version of the corruption. I just thought it was a cool biome, in fact it was my favorite one.
When i first join terraria my first random biome generate is crimson which is MUCH MORE CHALLENGING because those crimeras cant get using my shortsword lol. But in crimson is just easy when i tried and pickaxe in crimson is much more powerful? Ig? So E.
This decision is so damn hard. The highlight for corruption is the wrath potion for me, while for crimson it's ichor. Both are absolutely amazing in combat.
Get crimson seeds from the dryad. You can get it by putting her in a graveyard during hardmode. This allows you to get ichor. But base should be corruption as its better.
the brain of confusion now has a chance to block attacks like the black belt, so liking the brain of confusion isn't unreasonable anymore. it's a must-have for facing daytime empress of light
Ya know, it's weird. Purple is my favorite color, I love eldritch creatures, and adore the theming of the corruption, but I vastly prefer the crimson. Something about its environment just feels better and scratches some sort of itch, same reason I love the Plague Flight from Flight Rising and the whole idea behind the Mystery Flesh Pit. Something about a fleshy landscape and venturing into the maw of the beast to face the source of the heinous creature infecting and spreading across the land is just so satisfying to me
Crimson is so much better. I appreciate it's lore so much as this living, infesting thing that just wants to assimilate your world as it has done to so many others. Also the music is so good, it basically sounds like the biome is "waking up" to your presence as it tries to kill you and ultimately assimilate you into its being. It's aggressive, throwing everything at you like something out of Berserk's Eclipse, which makes it all the more frightening to you when it quickly erodes the world in Hardmode. It feels like you're running from it even more, given the danger it brings to you. Add onto the fact it feels like an alien presence, unnatural to your world, and you got yourself a good threat to deal with in the back your mind as you search the world for resources. All in all I think Crimson is so much more effective in its role as an Evil Biome.
imagine hating the other type of biome instead of having two worlds with both biomes and just consistently farm them if you need anything from any biome
I couldnt agree more with ya, i dont get this whole fight what is better too. When your character is able to transfer items between the worlds. It actually dont matter which one you play.
Crimson. And yes, vampire knives are the deciding factor since I can never remember to get health potions and it’s easy in boss fights to go on the defensive and dodge while healing.
You forgot the vilethorn, a sadly underappreciated mage weapon. I feel most mages on expert and master mode will agree that having this thing can be a godsend against most pre-hard mode enemies. One cast rapidly ticks out damage and can slow down most enemies to a near halt without pushing them around. Base 10 mana, 10 damage, up to 7 ticks of damage on all enemies it touches, a reach of 15 tiles, and block-piercing? Super helpful.
@Ryan Munyon it really isn’t because you have to still do things to gather what you need. If your world didn’t have chlorophyte (impossible but a what if) is it cheating to get it from another world? No because you’d still have to get it.
@Ryan Munyon no it doesn’t taking away the challenge would be being able to get it instantly. You still have you put in time and effort doesn’t take any of the challenge if anything it adds more because you have to use more time to get something from another world for example like a biome key.
@Ryan Munyon I’m just explaining that it doesn’t take any challenge away and it’s not cheating, of course you can play however you want never said you couldn’t.
2 months late to the conversation but it's mostly the challenge. It's a bit boring imo to be able to just make a new world if you don't get what you want and that's especially true if you like the way your world was loaded - be it geological features, progression, or simply because you're dedicated to seeing this world through.
Corruption holds sentimental value, though I just realised that Crimson has been around for like 80% of the game's lifespan, still it has less character to me
in general i would chose crimson because: 1. the brain of cuthulu drops the brain of confusion, which gives a 1/6 chance of dodging an attack ( roughly 17% dodge chance) which makes it extremely good vs the empress of light daytime fight 2. ichor 3. the armor set i feel benifits also rangers since it doesent just give melee speed, so i use it on both classes 4. if you are playing meelee you can get the flesh knuckleswich can be made into a hero shield or a berserkers glove ( tho hero shield is not very good because it will only increase your defence by 1 more from the paladins shield) Edit: the shield has been changed to give 10 defence,! 5. and because i like the way that u dont fall into holes when exploring the corruption, and the fact that theres not multiple ways to get inside the crimson! 6. i like the variety of enemies 7. i like a challenge i like both biomes but the crimson i feel has more pros than corruption
If you like crimson you showld try for the worthy brain of chutulu with pre skeletron gear trust me its gonna smash you most likely atleast the first few tries
I tried playing on a Crimson world lol, neglect it too much it'll have 3 Crimson Biomes spawning in your world and if u wanna go to one edge pre hard mode ur gonna have lots of trouble XD
I like the corruption more cause I like the color palette, music, its also softer look on my eyes, and I’ve kinda grown with using a corruption biome because I thought that crimson was too scary and would try to get out as quick as possible lol.
For me it's about equal but for a different reason Corruption surface > crimson surface Corruption underground < crimson underground This is for music, aesthetic, enemy content, etc.
Yeah I did that because the corruption has too many holes, I thought the EoW was a nice boss fight, it was in my first world but crimson is a bit better and I only say that because the wood looks nice. I got corrupt seeds from EoC in my secondary corruption world, so I have corruption in my world. It's says: Your world is 3% Crimson, 1% Corrupt, and 4% Hallow. You're so close!
The first time i played with my friends it was in a corruption world. I cant tell you how scary it was to just go around the map and suddenly see a flying worm with 7 eyes followed by 5 more of them. I like the crimson but corruption is my favorite.
I like both but the vampire knives are much better imo, I dont really get them anymore but that's how I beat golem my first time so it just has a spot in my heart
Although I like the vampire knives a lot I like the corruption more so I would make a seperate world crimson just to get the vampire knives in my corruption world
@@oodoglawhy in the world would u like corruption more what's better about corruption over Crimson u literally get better loot in crimson u have best music in crimson best looking biome too way more fun to grind for biome key than corruption and just overall provides best things at the endgame unlike corruption biome the crimson biome has items that are incomparable with corruption the only part where the corruption takes a deal is with expert loot from biome boss the worm boss gives u worm tooth thingy that gives u extra defense while the crimson boss loot in expert isn't as valuable so I really don't understand other than this crimson just wins it all IN MY opinion of course not wanting to make opinions fax just wanting to share them
I would also point out that the corrupt mimic drops the clinger staff and the crimson mimic drops the fetid baghnakhs, which are both very good weapons, but for a different class.
I know certain seeds contain the two infections, but if you want to use crimson any time you want just use the graveyard, since when the dryad is in the graveyard she will give you the opposite infection seeds.
Even tho this was posted a year ago I love the crimson for the armor set you can make, greatly increases life regeneration which is really nice to have at the start.
Yeah, crimtane armor is a definite useful mid pre-hardmode armor, when you've not quite gone far enough to start primarily focusing. On any one class yet, while shadow armor is more an armor you might get for melee, but you're probably just gonna immediately go for hellstone now that you have nightmare pickaxes
One reason for my preference: the Crimson’s generation. Not only are the interior pits of fall damage doom all within a cave that you have to intentionally enter unlike the corruption, but the path zigzags down and branches out in the shape of a hand. So creepy. I love it.
i also like crimson gen since the main part is deep enough where it's actually underground. my corruption world main tunnel thingy always play the overworld corruption while i prefer the underground one
The brain also is completely RNG on whether it protects you or not, and when it *doesn't* you take full damage, which may kill you. Scarf guarantees you'll always take reduced damage, meaning you'll always be able to survive that extra hit in a fight.
@@CiromBreeze لbrain of confusion is useful against daytime impress, and outside that its still good, just because its rng doesnt mean its bad, at this point its a matter of "consistent damage reduction" or "risky damage reduction" where worm scarf is most consistent but brain of confusion could provide more if youre lucky, and id take that if i was playing something like mastermode, where the enemies do so much damage, the damage reduction of the worm scarf doesnt really matter, while brain of confusion could save ur life, both accesories are good but at the end its a matter of prefernce, are u risky or not.
Another reason you might prefer the Corruption over the Crimson: Ancient Shadow Armor, functionally identical to regular Shadow Armor, but it drops from Eaters of Souls, thus making it possible to obtain before getting Shadow Scales from the Eater of Worlds. The Crimson has no such equivalent.
Who in the right mind would grind for that, then again you can get lucky and get a piece or two, but you should be able to craft everything you need with 1 worm
@@Dero_Zero i grinded for it, only took me an hour of killing eaters about 500 in and i got the last piece and several copies of other pieces i didn't need, lol. just get the musket a couple thousand balls and go at it.
I personally like the Crimson way more. The corruption feels more like an otherwordly landscape, however the Crimson in my opinion fulfills the role of "nope, don's wanna go there, ever" much more efficiently. It's kinda scary. And that's why i love it so much.
I grew up on late 1.0 and 1.1 versions of the game that lacked the crimson, so I'm VERY fond of the corruption. I distinctly remember being gravely confused and upset when I generated a new world for 1.2 and seeing the crimson; it was like coming home expecting my parents but finding a pair of complete strangers. I actually never gave it an honest shake until very recently, I held that grudge for that long lol. I still greatly prefer the corruption for many reasons, but I can't deny that they each contribute their own experiences to an overall playthrough.
The fact that both are balanced so well that there is no objective better biome, is very impressive, and speaks to the game design capabilities of re-logic and the dev team
Are they really tho? Let's be a little honest, the only things that are keeping the corruption alive are nostalgia and really personal taste/preference.
I think the clear tell is because there are no mechanical version of BoC, tho I agree with you BoC thematically more fitting when aligned with other two bosses.
I prefer both on Expert and Master. Specially when the fucking brain of confusion is literally worm scarf level and brain of cthulhu is extremely easy.
@@decomposedcorpse5186 I always choose the crimson, it's the clear winner. with the 1.4 buff, brain of confusion is absolutely OP. I would never use worm scarf over it. It even beats out most end game accessories. Have you even tried using it?
I would always choose "random" when it asked me what kind of evil I want in my world, and I don't know, its just my rng, that EVERYYYSINGLE TIME I picked random, I'd get corruption. I'm kinda bored of corruption at this point, cuz I never really even gotten a chance to play crimson yet, so my next play through will definitely be on crimson.
that's cool, I personally love the crimson, the brain of confusion got a massive buff in 1.4 and the boss fight is easier, also the vampire knives shred, I could give you other cool tips and other stuff if you want :)
For me whoever the fuck said Worm is wayyyy too easy and brain is hard must be braindead enough to not know how to fucking fight the boss the true way.
The corruption will always be my favorite. Gotta get me that worm scarf. Its great through the whole game. Vamp knives are nice, but I tend to run ranger so I don't use them.
@@kleesup Corruption is usually the-go-to biome for Ranged players. It has musket from the shadow orbs, a pretty powerful pre-boss gun, and also you have the dart rifle from the mimic. That plus cursed darts can make a joke out of destroyer pretty much. You can also get putrid scent from the mimic which you can combine with the sniper scope to make the recon scope.
Crimson is just as good imo. The main deal is that it has ichor, which is just really good. Undertaker and dart pistol are a bit weaker than their counterparts but they are still viable. Last thing to note is that brain of confusion is now considered better than worm scarf especially in higher difficulties.

I think I prefer the Crimson, but having to deal with spiders (arachniphobia lol) and losing access to Wrath potions is a hard sell, even in exchange for Ichor. Still, you can always just hop to a disposable secondary world with the other evil biome no matter which one your main world has.
i myself do not like world hopping in my runs (just my preference) so i usually bring the dryad to a graveyard to get crimson seeds on a corruption world. and i can have both in coexistence ^.^
I like the crimson more because it was my first biome and it has many good weapons like the vampire knives, dart pistol and you can get ichor which is good to combine with dart pistol as ichor darts lower defense though the worm scarf is very useful
use the dryad to get ichor as you can get crimson seeds if you get her to a graveyard during hardmode.

clinger when you enter hardmode: may i introduce myself
My only reason for corruption being my favorite is how fun the music is! It also just feels so creative when they put the leitmotif in the underground theme and its almost like they wanted to trick you with the intro being the normal underground theme.
As a German I got really confused at the Word Leitmotif until I Realized it’s the exact same wird in German
Well, underground crimson also has that motif, however its a bit more distorted.
I personally like the crimson underground music more.
Good respectful conversation about music y’all

The corruption creates these gigantic nasty pits that ruin the world & sometimes cross horizontally and the enemies are just various sizes and lengths of eye covered bugs. Hell, when I first discovered the crimson I didn’t even realize it was an alternate version of the corruption. I just thought it was a cool biome, in fact it was my favorite one.

Crimson is so much better. I appreciate it's lore so much as this living, infesting thing that just wants to assimilate your world as it has done to so many others. Also the music is so good, it basically sounds like the biome is "waking up" to your presence as it tries to kill you and ultimately assimilate you into its being. It's aggressive, throwing everything at you like something out of Berserk's Eclipse, which makes it all the more frightening to you when it quickly erodes the world in Hardmode. It feels like you're running from it even more, given the danger it brings to you. Add onto the fact it feels like an alien presence, unnatural to your world, and you got yourself a good threat to deal with in the back your mind as you search the world for resources.
All in all I think Crimson is so much more effective in its role as an Evil Biome.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who compares Terraria to Berserk lol
I personaly prefer crimson because:
-Ichor
-Not as painful to travel early game
-Atmosphere
-Better weapons

I can agree but early game I think corruption is easier to move through (besides the underground for the orbs / hearts)

I’ll always be bigger on Corruption. That surface music is PERFECTION.
"EoW considered the easier of the 2 evil biome bosses"
Me: *keeps dying to EoW*
Ikr I find the brain so much easier, especially on master mode. The worm on master mode is a nightmare.
@@catpoke9557 yeah the phase 2 from brain is baby easy
For me whoever the fuck said Worm is wayyyy too easy and brain is hard must be braindead enough to not know how to fucking fight the boss the true way.
But hey. Those are just opinions lol. No one is right on their way.
If u use slimy saddle and spiky balls in a very small space it’s super easy
There is a reason I just choose random on world creation.
I’m fine with both.
And will change my play style slightly depending on which I get.
I agree with that logic, makes the game slightly more fun/challenging
Same
The corruption will always be my favorite. Gotta get me that worm scarf. Its great through the whole game. Vamp knives are nice, but I tend to run ranger so I don't use them.
For me as main ranger, is corruption or crimson better?
@@kleesup Corruption is usually the-go-to biome for Ranged players. It has musket from the shadow orbs, a pretty powerful pre-boss gun, and also you have the dart rifle from the mimic. That plus cursed darts can make a joke out of destroyer pretty much. You can also get putrid scent from the mimic which you can combine with the sniper scope to make the recon scope.
Crimson is just as good imo. The main deal is that it has ichor, which is just really good. Undertaker and dart pistol are a bit weaker than their counterparts but they are still viable. Last thing to note is that brain of confusion is now considered better than worm scarf especially in higher difficulties.
Worm scarf, corruption music, and that color pallette is dope. Eater of Worlds is fun, too. Buuuut, vampire knives.
