How to get Thorium in Hytale

Very few armor sets in Hytale can be as game-changing as the Thorium set when diving into the deeps.

But thanks to that, it’s a given that getting the set’s main material will demand a lot of legwork, right? Well, not if you know where to look. Here’s how to get the Thorium and the best way to farm it in Hytale.

How to get Thorium in Hytale

You can get and farm Thorium in Hytale by mining its ores from large formations and caves across the Howling Sands biome’s The Badlands and The Desolate Basin regions. Thankfully, all kinds of pickaxes can do the job, although getting a copper-tier or above tool will significantly speed things up. It’s also possible to get the material as loot by opening chests and the like.

Unlike iron, the Thorium veins are way easier to spot via their green color, which sees them shine when illuminated by torches or other light sources. Upon mining it, you can smelt the ores and create the ingots needed to craft the armor pieces with a Furnace (six Tree Trunks and six Stone blocks).

If you’re looking to reach the desert biome, I did so by crossing the Golden Steps region, located south of Emerald’s Wilds (Zone 1). Keep in mind there’s no guarantee your seed will match ours.

Apart from the ingots and a Tier 2 Armorer’s Workbench, crafting the Thorium armor pieces in Hytale also requires gathering large amounts of Medium Leather, Linen Scraps, and Venom Sacs. The Medium Leather can be farmed by curating the hides of medium animals with the Tanning Rack, while the scraps are common drops from skeletons. Lastly, you can get the Venom Sacs by defeating spiders and other venomous enemies.

Thorium Armor Piece	Required Materials
Thorium Helmet	11 Thorium Ingot, 4 Medium Leather, 4 Linen Scraps, and 2 Venom Sac
Thorium Cuirass	20 Thorium Ingot, 7 Medium Leather, 7 Linen Scraps, and 4 Venom Sac
Thorium Gauntlets	9 Thorium Ingot, 3 Medium Leather, 3 Linen Scraps, and 1 Venom Sac
Thorium Greaves	15 Thorium Ingot, 6 Medium Leather, 6 Linen Scraps, and 3 Venom Sac

A new Resident Evil Showcase just closed out with a fun announcement that has implications for gamers just about everywhere…but it’s not the demo that everyone was hoping for.

With today’s showcase, gamers everywhere were hoping that Resident Evil Requiem would follow a trend of recent RE games, including Resident Evil 7, Resident Evil Village, and Resident Evil 4 Remake all having playable demos ahead of launch. And with the quality presented in each demo, I’d say that they probably helped generate even more sales for the franchise. I expected RE9 to do the same, but alas, nothing. Not yet, anyway.

During today’s showcase, though, Capcom did show off the first look at gameplay from Leon Kennedy’s action gameplay segments, played in third-person, with a similar vibe to the Resident Evil 4 remake’s gameplay. Leon’s focus is on shooting enemies, but he also has a hatchet he can use to parry melee attacks, and he can even pick up weapons like the enemy’s chainsaw to fight back.

This sort of gameplay is the foil to Grace Ashcroft’s more horror-oriented gameplay in close-quarters, cramped areas, creating a back-and-forth to keep players on their toes. Grace isn’t defenseless, however, as the stream showed off a massive hand cannon she can use to fight back. Both segments can be played in either first-person or third-person, and either character can have a dedicated perspective either way.

Capcom also showed off the return of Ink Ribbons for game saves, some new crafting mechanics, and a new enemy type in the game: zombies that retain some minor characteristics of their past lives. The humanity is lingering within the undead this time, and it makes for some unsettling behaviors.

While the rest of the showcase was full of ads for things like collabs with Porsche and Hamilton watches, many left disappointed that there were no real big reveals or a demo shadowdrop like people were hoping for, myself included.

Still, RE9 is one of my most anticipated titles of 2026. It drops in just over a month on Feb. 27, and I can’t wait to get my grubby hands on it, so check out the showcase from today to tide you over.
