This mound of meat serves as none other than a gateway to Oblivion! Be careful where you place it, my friend...

— Occultist

The Oblivion Altar is an Underworld mini-biome added by Aequus. It consists of a mound of ash, occasionally covered in Lava, with several spike decorations, Ash Tombstones, and the Oblivion Altar tile itself. Oblivion Altars usually generate in the outer thirds of the world, however they more specifically spawn in areas where there's an 100x100 cube which doesn't contain any Obsidian Brick or Hellstone Brick placed down. The Oblivion Altar can be destroyed with a hammers in Hardmode; however in Pre-Hardmode it or the blocks it stands on cannot be mined at all. Oblivion Altars are also sold by the Occultist and dropped by the Wall of Flesh if you have not completed the Demon Siege yet.

An artificial Oblivion Altar biome can be formed by placing a single Oblivion Altar.

Right clicking on the Oblivion Altar with specific items will begin the Demon Siege event. During the event, the Oblivion Altar and the blocks it stands on cannot be mined.

Trivia

• It is heavily based on the Gore Nest from DOOM (2016), being fleshy constructs that summon a horde of demons to fight off when interacted with. However, its Aequus incarnation is not destroyed when interacted with and can be used as much as the player desires, and also upgrades items unlike the original version simply serving as a roadblock.
