One of these treasures is a very useful starter mining tool that is capable of mining up to nine blocks at a time! This is the Gravedigger’s Shovel. We have brought you an all-new guide where we will show you how exactly you will be able to get the Gravedigger’s Shovel in Terraria Journey’s End.
How to get the Gravedigger’s Shovel in Terraria Journey’s End
The Gravedigger’s Shovel is one of the new items introduced in Terraria Journey’s End with Update 1.4. Here’s how you can dive into the process to obtain it in the game:
- In order to craft this Shovel, you must first possess an anvil of any sort.
- After that, you are going to need 12 Lead Bars and 3 Wood.
- When that’s done, you will have to set up a Graveyard Biome. In order to create a Graveyard Biome, you must set up around eight Tombstones next to each other. Put your anvil next to the Graveyard Biome. This will lead to the creation of some brand new items like the Gravedigger’s Shovel.
With this Shovel in your possession, you can dig up soft tiles nine blocks at a time, which makes it great for digging graves (no prizes for guessing why it got its name!). You will be able to dig out huge heaps of dirt, snow, sand, and other soft tiles. Sadly, the pickaxe is no different from a regular pickaxe when we’re dealing with blocks of rare minerals such as copper, iron, silver, etc. Concluding, this is an excellent tool for digging your way through biomes near the surface, and then getting to some good depth with speed as well.
