We will give you the recipes for thebest wings in Terraria, as well as show youhow to make your first wingsin Terraria. We will also tell youhow to make a Mythril/Oricalcum anvil, which is required to make your first set of wings, and the best places to farm for all the souls and feathers required to craft them.

How to make your first wings in Terraria
You will first need to defeat the Wall of Flesh boss to unlock Hardmode. Check out ourTerraria bossesguide for strategies on how to defeat it. Once you’ve unlocked Hardmode, there are multiple types of wings you can create, but the easiest ones to make are the angel wings and demon wings.
To make wings in Terraria, you will need to combine the following items at a Mythril anvil or an Orichalcum anvil:
We’ll go over each of the components you will need and where to find them in the following segments.
How to get feathers
You’ll need to defeat Harpies to get feathers. Harpies are be found in the sky level. Farm the feathers before defeating the Wall of Flesh, as only the Harpies will spawn in the sky level during pre-Hardmode. The sky level is found at the following heights:
As soon as you’ve built your way up into the sky, deploy a long platform to stand on. I would recommend building this as early as you can, then when the Blood Moon occurs, climb up to the sky level. You’ll then be able to farm Harpies until you get as many feathers as you will need.
Making a Mythril or Orichalcum anvil
This bit requires that you upgrade your anvils and pickaxes to Hardmode level gear, so will probably take the longest time to complete.
A message will appear on screen when you break these altars One of them will eventually say “Your world has been blessed with Mythril!” or “Your world has been blessed with Orichalcum!”
How do I mine Mythril or Orichalcum?
Whichever ore you decide to mine, you’ll need to either go into the Underworld biome to mine Mythril in the ceiling (the one that looks like hell) or the Ocean biome to mine Orichalcum.
How to get Soul of Flight
You’ll need to defeat Wyverns to get the Soul of Flight. Wyverns can also be found in the sky level. The sky level is found at the following heights:
You’ll want to dodge the Wyvern as much as possible as it can hurt for quite a lot of damage. It’s also rather durable at 4000 HP on Classic Mode and 8000 on Expert/Master mode.
Once it’s defeated, it’ll drop between 5-10 Souls of Flight on Classic Mode and 10-20 on Expert/Master mode.
How to get Soul of Night
Those who want demon wings should get Soul of Night instead of Soul of Light.
After defeating the Wall of Flesh, you’ll be able to kill monsters in the Crimson/Corruption biome to have a chance to get Soul of Night. Here are some tips to speed up this process:
How to get Soul of Light
If you prefer making angel wings, you’ll want Soul of Light instead of Soul of Night.
After defeating the Wall of Flesh, you’ll be able to kill monsters in the Hallow biome to have a chance to get Soul of Light. Here are some tips to speed up this process:
Once you’ve got all the components, combine them at the Mythril/Orichalcum anvil to make wings! You can then fly around to your heart’s content.
