Sturdy Fossils can be obtained through two primary methods in Terraria: by processing Desert Fossils using an Extractinator, or by defeating specific enemies in Hardmode.
Obtaining Sturdy Fossils via Extractinator
The most common way to acquire Sturdy Fossils, especially in earlier stages of the game, is by utilizing an Extractinator.
- Process: Place Desert Fossils into the Extractinator.
- Chance: Each Desert Fossil processed has a 10% chance to yield a Sturdy Fossil. This means you might need to process multiple Desert Fossils to obtain the desired item.
Farming Sturdy Fossils from Basilisks
Once you have progressed into Hardmode, an additional method for acquiring Sturdy Fossils becomes available.
- Source: Sturdy Fossils can be dropped by Basilisks.
- Condition: This method is exclusive to Hardmode. Basilisks are found in the Underground Desert biome.
Here’s a summary of the methods:
| Method | Source Item/Enemy | Condition | Chance / Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Extractinator | Desert Fossil | Any Time | 10% chance per Desert Fossil |
| Enemy Drop | Basilisk | Hardmode Only | Dropped by Basilisks |
