5. 💣 Bombs and Biome Separation: An Effective Method in the Early Stages
- ✅ The Dryad sells cleansing powder, but it is ineffective.
- ✅ Bombs from the Demolitionist allow you to quickly separate evil biomes.
- ✅ The separation width should be at least three blocks and go all the way to hell.
- ✅ It is important to remove all infection blocks in healthy territory.
- ✅ The abyss can be built up with blocks and walls that are not susceptible to infection.

6. ✨ Clentaminator and Terraformer: Tools for Complete World Purification
- ✅ The Steampunker sells the Clentaminator and solutions after defeating a mechanical boss.
- ✅ The Clentaminator has a longer range than cleansing powder.
- ✅ After defeating the Moon Lord, the Clentaminator can be turned into a Terraformer, which spreads the solution even wider and saves it.

7. 🗺️ The Process of Complete World Purification: Tips and Tricks
- ✅ Find out the infection status in the world from the Dryad.
- ✅ Get rid of the evil biome completely, and the Hallow can be left (not guaranteed).
- ✅ Dig affected areas from top to bottom, treat with Clentaminator and repeat.
- ✅ Re-enter the world to update the status with the Dryad.
- ✅ If the Dryad still shows infection, look for missing blocks.
