Apparently there have been two patches since 1.2 was released but the OP was never updated?

Gobblecoque posted:Boy, these hardmode bosses might be some of the most unfun slogs I've ever played. I got within a few hundred health of killing the twins but died. Make good armour (adamantite or platinum, look for it near hell level underground), wear it, make a Dao of Pow (take a bunch of sand and put it in both hallow and corrupt/crimson biomes then farm the mummies a bit for Dark/Light Shards, doesn't take long), use it to kill the Destroyer with ease (maybe build a platform in the sky out of wood platforms to make this easier, lets you stay out of the Destroyer's range and dodge more easily in general). Then. Make Megashark (take the Souls of Might to the guide to see how), farm crystals (this is easy just wander around some underground hallow) and make crystal bullets out of them. Wear your good armour from before, equip your Megashark and use a gravitation potion (craft or find from pots in hell or w/e) to avoid the Twins while you hold M1 at them for a bit. Huzzah. quote:*But not the Golem. I literally cannot move fast enough to dodge its laser fire. I don't know how you're supposed to kill that loving thing without either tanking or cheesing it. And I'm not even going to mention the Pumpkin or Frost Moons. The lasers are quick but they don't do much damage, build two parallel horizontal platforms out of mud or something, make the bottom one 2-3 layers thick and then spawn the Golem between them to trap him. Shoot his fists when they come at you to knock them back. Easy fight. For the Frost and Pumpkin Moons you need to create an arena to do reasonably well. There are a shitload of tricks you can do in making an arena from using statues to spawn hp/mana or weak mobs which you can kill with the Headless Horseman Blade to spawn a million projectiles to using thin layers of lava and Lizhard Temple traps to kill enemies en masse.

It wouldn't be so absolutely terrible if it wasn't for the fact that other than some hilariously rare summoning items, they just seem to appear only whenever they feel like it.

New patch just hit. http://www.terrariaonline.com/threads/1-2-4-1-changelog.145100/ Mostly bug fixes, and adding a handful of previously unobtainable items. One major thing they fixed was the bug where boosters could make your minecarts go supersonic speed, so I hope none of you have any major track setups that rely on that. They also added a completely negligible mana cost to summoning weapons so that they can receive a modifier... that isn't the modifier you particularly want on summoning weapons anyway.  Oh yeah and sail blocks are no longer free. Hope you all stocked up beforehand!

You can craft the different chest types now, which is nice if you are way too into organizing your storage.

I don't know if it's a recent change, but I only recently found out you can change the name of chests so it displays on mouseover, which is helpful. I've got a Powerful Uzi and a Demonic Clockwork Assault rifle... which one is better for taking down the Twins and/or Skeletron Prime? The "high velocity bullet" mechanic isn't as good as the "three round burst" when it comes to DPS, or is it?

I really wish the truffle worm didn't run away so fast, I've seen six, caught two and I was on top of at least three when they just didn't want to be caught by my net.

Truffle worms are basically Hitler and they seem to be coded to spawn either in tiny underwater gaps or falling off a cliff right above you. I don't know if I want to make my next base entirely out of slime or glass.

I never managed to get a rod of discord after hundreds of hours, but I did get that lovely doubleknife they were bugged to drop instead. I should just inventory edit one in. I've had most success catching truffle worms by grappling to their location while swinging the net.

Yeah this is my position on farming, I did it "legit" the first time I played through the content and generally with brand new content I will but I like to play through from a new character for updates and gently caress if I'm farming some of this stuff over again. I'll try for a little while but if the RNG isn't doing it for me I'll edit it in.

Once I hit chlorophyte armor the gently caress-its set in, farming key molds and the useful stuff out of the hardmode dungeon SUCKS. Once you've legitimately vampire knived with your ultra-useful wisp buddy it's hard to go back.

My problem with the Sniper Scope is that it can screw with your aiming because it jumps to center on your mouse when you fire, then jumps back when you let go the LClick. It's very bad design.

Holy poo poo, the new Terra Blade makes melee almost viable. Duke Fishron is honestly one of my favorite bosses, he's fast but avoidable, has some interesting moves and his loot table is the best. If you make a Z____ shaped mushroom biome you can usually catch the truffle worm before it sees you. This might have been the first patch in a while that didn't horribly nerf magic or any good things.

The Sharknado summon is the best simply because it leaves mountains of gibs everywhere and also their damage output makes even more gibs real fast I guess.

Devour or Fire posted:Yeah, I gave my first 1.0 world a going-over with blue solution since my base there is underground and right next to the jungle. Thanks. I vastly underestimated how large the mushroom biome has to be to get enough worm spawns. Side note: I find the noise the flailron and bubble gun make to be very pleasing.

After fighting him a few times so I could get his drops somewhat legit, I have to say, Fishron is pretty fun. You don't have to deal with a million things at once, he's got a pretty set pattern thats easy to figure out, plus the fact that unlike Plantera and the Golem you have a lot of room to manuver by default. His attacks aren't bullshit or too terrible, and as long as you know how to move right you can avoid the worst of the damage, though Sharknados trapping you for a cheap shot is annoying. Two thirds of his loot is pretty awesome to. I'm not impressed with the Tsunami or the Bubble Gun, the former lacks auto fire and is a bow, while the Bubble Gun may as well be a melee weapon for its range, but the other stuff is great. Sharknados being high damage flying projectile based summons makes them much btter than anything pre fishing update, the Flailon is awesome for melee users as a projectile weapon thats usefull in confined spaces where the Noth Pole sucks, Razorblade Typhoon combines Waterbolt, Demon Scythe and homing for a great magic attack, and the Fishron Wings are incredibly agile in the air. Makes for a great addition to your arsenal for nearly every class.

Would you say he's easier or harder than Plantera and the Golem? I've beat Plantera a few times and the Golem twice, but both still manage to kill me if I'm not really working for it.

He can do some pretty incredible damage, like 150+ per hit even in full beetle armor, and he moves insanely fast, like Eye-boss lunges at supersonic speed and very fast tracking, plus he creates homing projectiles of multiple types and two-screen-high walls of death. I can sleepwalk through the golem, for the most part, and plantera's weak enough against late-game equipment. I'd say Duke's probably the hardest boss in the game right now, not counting the moon events.

I'd say Duke's probably the hardest boss in the game right now, not counting the moon events. As Vib Rib says, he's a tough motherfucker who hits hard and takes a lot of punishment. However, he has a very simple pattern, charging five times before doing a projectile attack, either homing bubbles (just keep attacking, you'll destroy them as you attack him) or summoning Sharknados. The Sharknados are kinda bullshit, being huge and firing sharks at your position for a few seconds, but a fairly standard boss arena (ie a couple screens of wooden platforms, three layers high about a screen apart vertically) will let you dodge it fairly easily, I believe. After he gets down half way he changes his pattern, with three faster lunges instead of five, and his other attacks are changed, the bubble spawning now taking place as he does a loop-de-loop (not really any more threatening) and his Sharknado summon is much different, following you and trying to spawn where you are, being bigger and firing double the sharks to make up for being only one Sharknado. If you can dodge the twins you can probably dodge this guy, but swiftness potions are essential. I will not bullshit you. He is HARD. But he's very upfront about it, and with effort and preperation he becomes much easier. He doesn't have anything like the near Hitscan lasers of the Golem, he doesn't do Plantera's bullshit with filling tight underground corridors with bouncing projectiles, he doesn't come with a billion adds like any of the event moon bosses, he's just there, with a simple pattern that you can learn and deal with. And if you want to beat him you really do need to learn his pattern, because he'll gib you with ease otherwise. E: basically, most of the previous big bosses are of the bullet hell type, basically requiring you to have great reflexes and the ability to identify and react to everything thats pertinent to you pretty much constanty and instantly. Fishron follows a more Dark Souls style, where if you know whats coming and prepare for it you have the key to victory but if you go in half cocked you're likely to be dead in under ten seconds.

Just use all the life/regen/defense/etc potions and it'll be okay. Once you get his flail he's easy to cheese. I recommend an asphalt skybridge and the chain gun (if you have it) with chlorophyte bullets.

You can either do the Frost Moon first and use frost moon weapons on him, or you can kill him first and use his weapons on the Frost Moon. Whichever your second step is, it'll be pretty easy.

I'm probably not even going to bother with him then. At this point, I only really fire up the game to build some poo poo or to explore underground pre-hardmode and let my chlorophyte armor take care of the enemies. I think I've moved on to the 'casual builder/explorer' phase.

He's extremely easy if you just abuse movement, gravity potion or wings + some speed boosts means you can just kite him forever with ranged attacks.

Skeletron Prime is the bane of my existence right now, I'm wearing full Hallowed Armour with an Excalibur and Megashark, and have max health and he still rips me to pieces, I hate him and his flying buzzsaws and lasers.  I'm on the PS3 version if it helps and do have access to Plantera, who made me cry when I accidentally summoned it when digging in the jungle.

Bad thing is that they really aren't actually harder than the basic bosses, it's just that you have to have better gear. When I first fought the hardmode bosses I was all "oh gently caress I'm never going to beat these guys" but then I happened upon some gear and they became easy and boring.

Me and a buddy tried to get back into this game but the inclusion of 60 second potion timers and having to sit on the death screen for an eternity put us off completely after just 2 hours of play. Are there any mods that make the game fun to just goof around in again? We beat the Eye and then tried the Brain of Cthullu, died to it instantly and said gently caress it.

I have wings and a small skybridge, I'm not some master player who has everything ingame, its my first time ever in Hardmode, beating the Twins and Destroyer took me forever, but buffs I use are the armour and health regen ones usually. The boots I have are the Pegasus Boots, which make me run fast.
