It should be noted that there is a great variety of Biomes , which are grouped according to their location, as they can be found on the surface or in the subsoil. As you progress, you will come across Biomes such as the Tundra, Desert, Dungeon, Crimson, Corruption , among others.

However, there is also Outer Space , which would be the upper layer of the entire world of Terraria, and in contrast to this, the Underworld, which is the lowest point .

Cave Biomes on Hard Mode
