To address a Tortured Soul in the game, you should use Purification Powder on it to transform it into a valuable Non-Player Character (NPC).
The Tortured Soul is a distinct entity encountered in the game, specifically as an uncommon enemy that begins to appear once you enter Hardmode. It is exclusively found in the challenging environment of The Underworld.
Transforming the Tortured Soul
The primary action to take when encountering a Tortured Soul is to facilitate its transformation. This process is straightforward and yields a beneficial outcome for your gameplay:
- Locate the Tortured Soul: Journey into The Underworld during Hardmode to find this elusive enemy.
- Acquire Purification Powder: Ensure you have this specific item in your inventory.
- Apply the Powder: Once you spot a Tortured Soul, simply throw Purification Powder directly onto it.
Upon successful application of the Purification Powder, the Tortured Soul undergoes a significant change. It will immediately transform into the Tax Collector NPC. This new character can then be interacted with, typically moving into available housing you've provided.
The Outcome
This transformation is a one-time event that has a lasting impact on your game world. After the Tortured Soul has been converted into the Tax Collector, instances of the Tortured Soul enemy will no longer spawn anywhere in your world. This means you only need to perform this action once to gain the NPC and prevent future encounters with the enemy version.
