The '''Dark Forest''' is a densely vegetated biome with a thick canopy that blocks almost all light from the forest floor.

The '''Dark Forest''' is a spooky place. [[Twilight Forest Trees#Darkwood Trees|Darkwood Trees]] leave most sections of this biome as dark as underground. Above the trees, there is a vast expanse of the tree tops, impossible to see through to the bottom. The Dark Forest is home to four [[Goblin Knight Stronghold]]s, each dotted at the north, south, east, and west of the biome.
Despite the darkness, monsters such as Zombies and Skeletons will not spawn on the surface. However, other monsters such as [[Mist Wolf|Mist Wolves]] and [[King Spider]]s will spawn, making traversal in the Dark Forest more dangerous.


The mobs found here are [[Skeleton Druid]]s on [[King Spider]]s and [[Mist Wolf|Mist Wolves]], with some other monsters from the [[Caves]] sneaking up from the darkness. Dark Forests are the only place to find [[Goblin Knight Stronghold]]s, Mist Wolves and King Spiders.
The Dark Forest will only generate around a [[Dark Forest Center]].

The Dark Forest is a densely vegetated biome with a thick canopy that blocks almost all light from the forest floor. Darkwood Trees grow most commonly in this biome, with some smaller vegetation such as tall grass and flowers covering the grass. Occasionally, Mushglooms grow in the area, providing a faint source of light.

Despite the darkness, monsters such as Zombies and Skeletons will not spawn on the surface. However, other monsters such as Mist Wolves and King Spiders will spawn, making traversal in the Dark Forest more dangerous.

The Dark Forest will only generate around a Dark Forest Center.

Progression[edit]

The Dark Forest is locked by Progression, creating a barrier of black tendrils that inflict the player with Darkness, making progression through the biome much more difficult.

In order to unlock the Dark Forest, the Twilight Lich must be defeated. This will clear the Darkness-inflicting effect as well as removing some structure protection from the Goblin Knight Stronghold.

As well as being locked by Progression, the Dark Forest is also key to progressing to the Dark Forest Center and Dark Tower by defeating the Knight Phantoms in the Goblin Knight Stronghold.
