Holy poo poo they do not want me in Hell today. I go there to build a bridge and I'm accosted by 14+ dudes. Fairly sure it wasn't a blood moon either. I actually haven't played very far into hardmode before. Is there any good bows I can stick with or am I going to have to get a gun eventually? I sorta prefer them over guns, and right now I'm using the hellstone bow and jester arrows and it seems to be trouncing everything pre-hardmode.

SirSamVimes posted:So I've got to the stage where I begin preparing for the Wall. Do I want my general "out of mana" weapon to be Molten Fury, Hellwing Bow or the Phoenix Blaster? My ammo options are Meteorite Shot and Hellfire Arrows. You could also just buy a stack of mana potions from the merchant. Unlike health potions, mana potions have no cooldown and you can just chug them forever. Although it's a pain in the rear end to hit J in the middle of a fight, so you might want to move it to something reachable with the left hand. Evil Fluffy posted:You left out the most important thing: There's a fish-that-is-also-a-hammer you can find in the caves that does about 25-30 damage. If you're lucky enough to find that early on, it absolutely crushes most early enemies.

Dareon posted:1.3 adds rainbow torches. Won't help the boringness of the layout, but gold lit in rainbows is at least a nice thematic mirror of demonite architecture. Add some clouds to the top of the gold tower, some Living Flame (Or yellow and red gemspark, or mystic lavafall) blocks to the bottom of the demon tower, you got a party. I appreciate the advice, though I don't want the demon tower to look "evil" as much as powerful and "dark," and I don't want the gold tower to look "good" as much as "light." I know it's all very silly. Also any light source I add to the gold tower needs to have a lamp, which limits my options ridiculously. http://terraria.gamepedia.com/Strange_Plant posted:Strange Plants cannot grow within 700ft of each other, or any other dye plant. Godfuckingdamnit that explains so much it hurts.

Tyty posted:Holy poo poo they do not want me in Hell today. Enemies seem to spawn in higher numbers in general once you get underground, I routinely see upwards of a dozen or more on my enemy indicator. It's just that Hell is so open and most of the enemies there are extremely mobile, so you're constantly swarmed. Try bringing some sunflowers and a grass generator, the Happiness buff lowers the spawn rate somewhat.

kvx687 posted:You'll probably want to use guns temporarily; there aren't many hardmode bows and most of them are drops, either from fancy mimics or from the post-mecha bosses, plus the 'easier' ones to get transform any arrows shot from them into a specific type. Eh, there's nothing wrong with a good repeater loaded up with Holy Arrows or whatnot, as long as Tyty wanted bow as in arrow shooter as opposed to bow as in bow.

The Daedalus Bow might as well be called the Destroyer Killer. Load that baby up with holy arrows and watch the Destroyer just melt. Only annoying part is farming up unicorn horns to stock up. Bow's pretty good for invasions and wave events, too.

50k DPS on the Destroyer with Last Prism  The only good thing about farming developer sets is that I have 200 platinum now and only Red & D-towns sets.

Ashsaber posted:I just calculated how much it would cost to make both of the endless ammo items if you didn't have any of either, and it comes to just shy of 5 gold total, around 2 for the arrows and 2.75 or so for the musket balls. Not really a bad price for being able to run around shooting your gun/bow literally forever if you feel like it. Especially seeing as how Ranged is the DPS attack stat in the first place. Except that basic arrows / musket balls are crap.

Well I entered hard mode and apparently the streak of crimson goes straight through my jungle This means I'm basically on a timer to gear up and take down Plantera right? Trasson posted:Eh, there's nothing wrong with a good repeater loaded up with Holy Arrows or whatnot, as long as Tyty wanted bow as in arrow shooter as opposed to bow as in bow. That looks the be the route I'll be taking yeah. I'm just being thematic in sticking with arrows over guns/magic/yoyos/summons/etc

Acne Rain posted:I have a cell phone. Don't know if this has been addressed yet (I'm five pages further and it hasn't) but I don't want to forget: Once you have the cell phone the right side of your screen is *absolutely filled* with bullshit numbers. Go into your inventory. Under the map there's circular icons that match the icons of the stats on the normal screen. Click them and they go gray, eliminating the stat from your screen. You're welcome.

I'm guessing the old cross necklace + meteorite trick got nerfed at some point? I tried standing on a square just now and even with heavy armour and three regen boosts (campfire + heart lantern + honey) my health was going down fast.

Fire blocks now give you a DoT instead of hitting you for low damage occasionally, so you can't abuse hit iframes anymore.

watho posted:You're seriously brainglitching. no you are with all other hooks you need to wait for the first hook to retract or hit a wall before you can launch a second one. the dual hook and the web slinger are the only exceptions, i think, and the dual hook cant actually connect to two different points at once so the web slinger is actually pretty unique that way

The Lone Badger posted:What about using dart traps? Pretty sure dungeon spikes will still function, and on expert mode they do the same base damage and your defence is more effective against them. You can grapple to the spike to ensure you won't move during a fight. Full regeneration gear, with fireplace and heart lantern and possinly titanium armour may be effective. Throw in some heart statues and I think it could work reasonably well.

After not playing Terarria since launch and probably sinking a good 30 hours in since the newest update here is my review. Yoyos own. Fishing owns. Slime mount is the most OP boss killer. Nerf this poo poo. I hope you enjoyed my write up. Thank you for your time.

Goes faster after all the adds die. Goes even faster at lower health. Basically "build the highway in hell you should have been building anyway to defeat me." I imagine being melee in expert mode against the wall is a terrible experience.
