The Legend of the Torch God
Some say the being is fuel for the flames that light the caverns below. Far from it, the Torch God, however, is a traditional boss; rather, it's much more of a challenge-style one, being seekable by players in the far depths of the Underworld. Appease this fiery deity, and you shall be rewarded with its blessing.
Summoning the Infernal Trial
The Torch God won't be coming after you per se but will require you to summon its wrath. With exactly one hundred torches of any sort in hand, all you have to do is go underground from literally anywhere above the surface; that should be a breeze. Next up is the catch: with all the 100 torches, set them relatively close to each other.
Please note: Leave ample room to be able to move about easily. You are starting for the first time as you put the last torch in place now.
Facing the Fiery Onslaught
Once the 100th torch is laid, the arena will come alive with a fiery spectacle. Each of the torches will flare up, changing into a fiery being that casts a fireball at you once. They do moderate damage, and with 100 of those things flying towards you, staying on the move is key.
Strategies for Success
Here are some tactics to help you weather the fiery storm:
Claiming Your Reward
Now, after the barrage of 200 fireballs (100 torches shooting two projectiles each), it will subside. The torches will then harmlessly relight. You have officially pleased the Torch God! A new item will now be added to your inventory: the Torch God's Favor. Consuming this favor gives you an everlasting buff: all torches or campfires equipped in your hand will automatically switch over to the corresponding type of biome torch or campfire. This not only looks cool but can also provide minor luck boosts in certain areas.

Strategies for Success
Here are some tactics to help you weather the fiery storm:- Arena Prep: This battle will need an open space, easy to movement and dodge. It would be best if possible to make use of platforms or ropes in making a multilevel arena for ease of maneuvering.
- Choice of Torch: Though many will likely do, some have advantages for visibility over others. Things are easier to dodge with Ultrabright Torches and their intense flames than with a dimmer torch, such as Crimson Torches.
- Movement is Key: Keep moving at all times! Use jumps, dashes, and grappling hooks to keep ahead and above all those fireballs. Evade with seamless and round movement on top of minecart tracks.
- Alternate Strategy: What you can do cleverly is put all the torches in the middle of your arena so that they are clumped up and easy to move about. Then, clear a large and pretty wide area to one side and focus on travelling around the perimeter of this area during the encounter. This allows the fireballs to mostly collide with each other in the centre, minimizing the number that reaches you.

Now, after the barrage of 200 fireballs (100 torches shooting two projectiles each), it will subside. The torches will then harmlessly relight. You have officially pleased the Torch God!

This not only looks cool but can also provide minor luck boosts in certain areas.
Can I fight the Torch God again?
Unfortunately, after completing the trial and consuming the Torch God's Favor, you cannot fight the Torch God again on the same character through normal means.
What happens if I die during the encounter?
If you perish while facing the Torch God's fiery wrath, the trial will end, and you won't receive the Torch God's Favor. You can simply respawn and try again with a fresh batch of torches.
Is there an easier way to defeat the Torch God?
While the fight is designed to test your agility, you can chew it to a certain extent. Placing the Nurse NPC in a nearby house ensures automatic healing throughout the encounter, as long as you have a grappling hook to negate knockback.
Is the Torch God's Favor worth the trouble?
The automatic torch conversion and potential luck boost make the Torch God's Favor a valuable tool, especially for players who like to explore and optimize their world.
Conclusion
A powerful fiery challenge from the Torch God, yet overcome with proper preparation and tactics, to add to your line of conquered unique Terraria encounters and claim the rewarding favor.Ready to delve deep and meet face-to-face with the Torch God?
