Wrong tools, folks. Obsidian needs a touch of class, like the Nightmare or Deathbringer pickaxe. Anything less just won't cut it.

If you're into shortcuts, you're outta luck with obsidian. No cheats or easy outs. Craft that Nightmare or Deathbringer and get digging!
Just use bombs. Lol, but seriously, bombs or dynamite won't do the trick for obsidian. You gotta craft the right pickaxe. Nightmare or Deathbringer pickaxes are your best bet. Happy mining!
Breaking obsidian in Terraria is pretty straightforward once you've got the right tools. You'll need at least a Nightmare Pickaxe or a Deathbringer Pickaxe. These can mine obsidian like a hot knife through butter. Just make sure you've defeated the Eater of Worlds or the Brain of Cthulhu to get the necessary materials for these pickaxes!
