Does the treasure map drop before you're in hardmode? I've been farming sharks for 30 minutes with no luck.

Not sure if anyone's posted about this in the thread yet, but I got super ridiculously lucky in the Hard Mode Ice Biome, and one of the random mooks dropped an Ice Key (~1% chance). It's a one-use item that unlocks the unique ice chest in the Dungeon. For the curious, the prize I found is as follows: Demonic Staff of the Frost Hydra 119 Damage Average Speed Insane Knockback Uses 16 Mana "Summons a powerful frost hydra to spit ice at your enemies" +15% Damage +5% Critical Strike Chance What it says on the tin. When you use the staff, an immobile ice statue is summoned where you're standing (or below you if you're in the air: it's a bit glitchy though, and will get summoned a few spaces away from you if the area below you is too small for it to stand on. Also, it sometimes gets summoned inside the ground). It's basically a turret, shooting about once a second towards the closest enemy. It can aim in any direction, and it lasts 5-10 minutes when summoned, so you can cast and forget. Strategy: As you might expect, this thing works wonders on bosses. If you use it in conjunction with a Slime Staff or Pygmy Staff, you can build a box around yourself in hostile territory and idle with a Water Candle in hand to farm enemies all day long. The hydra statue persists even if you run far away from it, so you can summon it in the Dungeon or one of the temples and move to a different room above or below it so enemies will continually spawn off-screen and die. Also, it looks pretty cool!  Roundabout Route fucked around with this message at 21:03 on Oct 3, 2013 |

So in my current game, roughly 1/3 of the map is jungle, equating to a absolute fuckton of underground jungle for me to navigate. After getting into ~lead armor I started working my way though it, realizing very quickly that a Strong Spear isn't exactly hornet killing material. Just when I'm about to head out and go work my way through some regular caves, this wonderful bastard pops up in a chest. So much for missing the tinkerer.

This is less 1.2-specific, but I encountered an incredible trap setup in my new world. At the bottom of a cave lake, I hit a single pressure plate that shot three darts toward me, and a moment after I dodged most of those, four boulders came bouncing my direction. If I hadn't had flippers on, I would have panicked and splattered. Naturally it was just a really dense spawn of traps that happened to get their wires crossed, but it made an impression on me.

How does one obtain the key for getting into the Jungle...Dungeon? Fortress? Whatever it's called. I can't mine through the walls, and the only entrance requires a drat key.

I'm exploring the dungeon and picking up all the banners I see because I like fancy decorations and I don't remember them from 1.1. However, on the wiki, it says that the dungeon now has flags that determine what enemies spawn there in hard mode. Does that refer to the banners? If so, does that mean I'm neutering the hard mode dungeon by stealing all these flags? More importantly, can I set up some sort of nightmarish thunderdome wherever I want with these things in hard mode, or are they only active in dungeon biomes?

I love large worlds too and won't even play on small/medium if I have the choice. Still kinda sad very large didn't make it into this update, cause that's all I'd play then. But hey, always a future patch~

I was getting hardmode dungeon enemies in a 1.1 or 1.0.6 dungeon. I may be wrong though. Speaking of the new hardmode dungeon, holy poo poo things there are loving brutal. Especially the paladins. 5000 health and they can throw hammers through walls. Powercrazy posted:Exploring a vast desert isn't very interesting. Once Red adds Very Large worlds in an upcoming patch I'm going to make one just for the sake of having a lot more room up in space for making a space colony. Even if I won't want to explore, larger worlds are good for building things in.

Yeah, each biome has 1 corresponding key/chest, in addition to regular chests and gold chest w/ gold keys.

Extractified an Amber Mosquito from a block of silt earlier. Now I have an adorable baby T-Rex following me everywhere. When it can't keep up a pterodactyl picks it up and carries it back to me.  A++ would extract again.

Biomes with keys are crimson/corrupt (depends on world), hallowed, ice, and one other that I'm not sure of. Either Hell or Jungle I think. e: the item for the last one is the piranha gun so I guess that corresponds to jungle.

I think it's the jungle. The best way to farm them is to wait for a Blood Moon or Solar Eclipse, then run to the biome and start massacring.

Real men play on the large maps. I just wish I could get Hermes boots already so I didn't have to use sandstorm bottle/hook shenanigans to speed myself up when traveling. Also I'm not sure how good endgame pickaxes are but bombs are my go to way of going downwards.

Just a head's up (I didn't see it mentioned, but I skim and could have missed it), but once you place the Bunny Cannon, you can't pick it back up again. Not sure if this applies to both types or not.

In the Hardmode Jungle you can find Life Fruits that give you +5 MAXHP. This goes over 400. Matrim posted:Teleporters~ Requires wire connections and has a limit of 1000 spaces. You can apparently hook up teleporters in a chain though, by attaching wire leading to different teleporters to the left side and the right side of a teleporter without them connecting. Wahad posted:How does one obtain the key for getting into the Jungle...Dungeon? Fortress? Whatever it's called. I can't mine through the walls, and the only entrance requires a drat key. Use actuators to allow the blocks to be disabled, then turn off the walls. Put a teleporter inside and outside, hook them up, activate the teleporter. ...the first two were just fixed in 1.2.0.2, though  Speaking of 1.2.0.2: quote:-Bug Fixes-

So I've decided to construct an ice pyramid out of the side of a hill: still need to sort out the left side and my chest system though. All the millions of new NPCs mean that every new room constructed is dedicated to them instead of to my stuff, so eventually I kicked the dye merchant and painter out of the second floor and dumped them onto the bottom floor.

Well, just figured out how to dupe gold chests on accident. Somehow I managed to do this - Which ended up letting me "remove" it infinitely with my pickaxe. Can't try to fix the block that broke things, chest is stuck there forever, endlessly replicating. e:An entire stack sells for just short of 10 gold. Gold's always seemed to get worthless really quick though, so
