Just made a full set of Oricicalcum armor and found a Magic dagger off a mimic.  I promptly spent 50 out of my 70 gold to reforge it and it became annoying (-damage and speed%)  Now to see if Crystal Storm and leaf spam from the armor will annihilate the destroyer.

Oh lordy how my first solar eclipse ended in a gangbang that'd make a seasoned porn star blush. I had a pretty decent lava pool tower prepared for them. It was, however, unfinished and didn't have doors and such yet so eventually two or three vampires managed to fly in the same time and spread my lungs on the wall. Then I respawned at my base and was promptly violated by spectres which flew in so fast after every respawn that I didn't even have time to open a chest to pick up any gear. My tombstones were literally flying all over my base as I tried to scramble away. Then I figured that as long as I manage to jump up some platforms to a higher level of my tree, the spectres get bugged and just hover at my position but one screenlength below me. I sat up there with a thumb in my rear end for the rest of the eclipse. And what a sore rear end it was.

I still haven't had an eclipse yet. I wish there was an item that just set one off. Also, I spent some time making a mushroom fortress and it rules. I'm guessing that it'll start trying to kill me and all the NPCs if a Blood Moon starts up. That's what happens in my jungle base. The creeper things start growing out of the walls and everything.

So gently caress the Wall of Flesh. Specifically, gently caress its stupid spawn mechanic. What the hell governs which direction the drat thing spawns from? Could've sworn that in the past it was based on which direction you throw the stupid voodoo doll. If that was how it was, it certainly isn't how it is now. Two attempts and both ended in me dying because it kept spawning from the left. Which is great since my path through the underworld goes that way and not to the right! Did you know that if you're trapped in a building and the Wall of Flesh presses into you it'll shoot you through solid objects? Because it does! Getting sick of wasting potions and ammunition on it. The hell do I do to make the jerk spawn from the right?

Why don't you run to the other end and throw the doll to the left? That way you can run right instead of left.

I've only ever had it spawn from the right, usually I'll build my highway over toward the right quite a ways, run to the end of it and throw the voodoo doll into lava. I've never had it spawn on the left.

Wall of flesh comes from the nearest edge of the map. So if you're left of the map center, it'll come from the left.

The way they move through the ground makes it seem like they're flying but nope. Also I've only seen one eclipse and that was after I died and it was already halfway through. It doesn't seem like the game gives you a message or anything about it happening (unless I missed it) so for all I know I might have had a bunch while I was messing around underground.

Talking of the wall of flesh, I thought I had to throw the doll into the lava to summon it. Twice now it's just appeared while I'm hellforge hunting. And promptly killed me.

There are Voodoo Demons that hold them. They are visibly holding onto the doll in their hind claws. If they die over lava, the doll appears from it's corpse and falls in...which triggers the Wall of Flesh.

Chances are you were doing something that killed Voodoo Demons without you knowing it and they happened to be over lava.

Set myself up a nice Golem-Killing Tower. It's got four floors, the first has a Piggybank and chest for loot and a Crystal Ball. The second has the altar, the third is empty space, and so is the fourth. When he spawns, his body gets stuck on the second floor, and his head gets stuck in the third. Then I just fire an Inferno Fork through the windows until he explodes. Spectre Armour still seems pretty broken to me. Not complaining though. Second Golem fight got invaded by a Wyvern, and that went down like a sack of poo poo too. I think the fourth floor might be made into the Guide's house at some point. Just because. One thing I found with my mushroom fortress, it's really easy to expand both the fortress and the surrounding biome. Glowing mushrooms spawn super-fast, and you can make a new house/room entirely out of them (a mush room  ). Then mushroom grass grows all over the mud, and if the Dryad is about, you can just buy the seeds. Only thing you have to leave for is dirt and mud and water, and light sources. And I've got a 900+ stockpile of mud blocks just in case. Think I'll probably completely convert it into mushrooms, wasn't going to bother but it's really easy. Also, the mushroom music is the best, and permanent night time is fun. Got a couple of mushroom towers that just reach out into a forest biome so I can still get a bit of light. And breathing room from evil mushroom monsters.Oh, and I've dug a bunch of Planteravators through the jungle. It's easy enough to lead it up through one to the surface, and from there it's just piss and magnets. So this world is pretty well set up for beating up anything. I even broke all the traps in the temple and redesigned the dungeon a bit to make it easier to traverse. Plus I broke the poo poo out of loads of Demon Altars, so there's lots of Hardmode Ores about. And they're all the new ones too. Plus there's Corruption rather than Crimson, I think I prefer Corruption for a base world really, and I've got most of the goodies from the Crimson already Just have to wait for the Light Deserts I've set off to grow a bit, set up a Dark Desert somewhere, and that's pretty much everything. Had the Hellevator done for a while, of course. Then I guess I'll probably want some kind of Space Outpost if that space update ends up happening. Hope it does. Sorry, that turned into a bit of a megapost. This update rules. Anyway, next thing I'll try to do is get an Ankh Shield made.

Yeah, I was spamming my water bolt (ace weapon) so I guess I could have killed one of those doll holding dudes above the lava. Of all the lucky RNGs to get. I now have a dozen hellforges though. I just needed to calm down and build a mega platform so I could leisurely loot the houses. I'll put my pavement of death to use and gently caress up that WoF twat once I craft all my new favourite best items ever Thank christ that 700 hours isn't for one person like I first though though. But holy gently caress 1 dude with 300 hours in Anno. Sheesh.

I do that with some games; I got like 67 hours of Terraria logged already (this week, total is like 400 something, gently caress) but I've probably only played 1/2 or maybe even a 1/3 of that just grabbing some time here or there.

People who just make lava pits as a base defense are boring. My house is rigged up with flamethrowers and spear traps from the jungle temple, with a bunch of pressure plates and a lever for activating them manually if there are flying things about. I seal everything off when the blood moon or eclipse is out, but I have teleporters rigged up to get me to other parts of the house and also the outside in case I want to go out and rough up some vampires myself. I also have a flamethrower in the guide's room for when I'm bored.

My personal concept of base defense is making sure I'm loaded up on plenty of ammunition and facing the eclipse legions with a gun in one hand and a sword in the other. Where's the fun in letting huge armies of dangerous enemies slaughter themselves by jumping into a pit while you sit in a little bubble on a lava trap tower? You might as well just cheat them all to death. I'll defend my home with my own two hands.

First mimic I killed after we transitioned to hardmode got me a magic dagger. It seems like an amazing weapon. The reforge cost is insane though. I put together a set of Titanium armor with the caster hat and I'm throwing a stream of deadly daggers that melts anything I have come across so far.

Lava pits are awesome because there's something both humorous and satisfying to watch zombies and bunnies literally jump into your pool of hot liquid death. The sound enemies make when dying makes me laugh. A nice "SQUISH!" sound for fleshy things and a nice death gurgle for undead.

Haha, all the effort for the hellstone armor and weapons was worth it. I only had to recraft a blood butcherer to make a nights edge too. I think now instead of give in to my usual instinct to plough through to hard mode, I'll go hunting for cool stuff for an automated farm/death machine of doom as I've only got the most basic house. All of the pictures in this thread of flames, balls, pits and the like has piqued my interest. Ooh, I just remembered, I got the machine that changes slush/silt into good stuff as well. I really wish I hadn't dumped so much of it early on. Yermaw Zahoor fucked around with this message at 21:43 on Oct 10, 2013 |
