DEEP STATE PLOT posted:boy playing terraria solo on expert mode is, well, definitely for experts Go find your snow, make a boreal wood bow + a whole mess of frostburn arrows (if you find your evil first, make your bow out of shade/ebonwood). Ideally be done with this and have some basic npc housing up before nightfall. Consider exploring underground snow in hopes of getting a snowball cannon (the knockback is quite nice for keeping assholes off you). Once you get some bombs, go pop a couple orbs/hearts in your evil biome to get your arms dealer. That should get you started. dis astranagant fucked around with this message at 22:45 on Oct 6, 2018 |

Use the space gun on the brain and the skull. The meteor armor set makes it free. Make sure you have enough mobility to get over and around Skeletron without hitting him, whether that means jumping, platforms, grapples, minecarts, whatever. EDIT: Or any piercing projectile. Unholy arrows, jester arrows, meteor shot + boomstick, whatever.

Brain is a jerk, yes. Luckily you don't actually have to kill it and his expert bag drop isn't terribly exciting. Might want to go make a corrupt world because Eater's is very nice. For Skeletron, all you really need is a good ranged weapon, hermes boots, and the shield of cthulhu, with a 2 or 3 screen wide platform arena. Run away on your platforms, when you hit the end switch to another floor of them and use the shield's dash to kickstart your boots speed. With a little practice you should be able to do this without getting hit much.

A little while ago I rented a server to try and get some friends into this game, but they completely bounced off it the first day (something I SHOULD have anticipated) and I already paid so I'm stuck with an empty server for a couple of months. I'm putting it up here just so it doesn't go entirely to waste until it runs out. Because it was originally for a small group of friends it doesn't have mods or anything and it's probably going to be mostly uncurated because I have no idea how to run a server, but if you're cool with that then come on down. It's a freshly generated small world with no notable surface features, if it blows up let me know so I can gen a new one. 172.96.164.58:7780 password is goons backwards.

Did you copy paste the full IP string from the thread here into the game? If you did, delete the :7780 at the end, put 7780 in the port prompt and try again. Ran into that one myself.

Might want to go make a corrupt world because Eater's is very nice. thanks for the advice. i'll give this a try later today. i already do have a corrupt world as well. in fact, i decided to generate worlds until i got a corrupt world with all the opposite ores of my primary crimson world, and somehow lucked out and got one on the very first attempt.

i got distracted after finding mushroom grass seeds, and now instead of fighting bosses and making progress, i'm ripping up a huge chunk of the overworld to turn into a massive mushroom biome i don't even know why i'm doing it beyond the mushroom biome theme being the best song in the game

Crimson Harvest posted:Yes. Subterrarian is about recovering the glory of the lost underground empire and fighting against the surface. Right, all the bad things are from the surface. The only real deep boss below is the Wall of Flesh, which if you think about it, is just a glorified trash compactor triggered by throwing trash in the lava. (Jungle is nature corruption from above. There's the Golem, but all the experienced players relocate that 'sun' alter back to the surface hellscape and fight him there.)

Only to try and force the floor to be a certain thickness. It doesn't always work out and a huge component of a speedrun is whether the RNG rolled in your favor on that.

Solumin posted:I'm pretty sure you used to be able to walk around the temple and activate the bricks from the outside. Did they patch that? They patched it so that you can't put actuators (or they don't just won't work) until you've beaten Plantera. So once you can enter the temple, you can do the actuator trick -- you don't need to actually enter the temple for that, but you need to be able to enter it.

Oh that's what the condition was changed to? That's probably the best way to solve it actually.

I wasn't expecting anything like new biomes in 1.3.6 but we're getting an oasis! The cattails and dragonflies are adorable~

There's barely space for as many biomes as we already have, unless this is taking the place of your obligatory non-antlion side surface sand? Also you're loving right I'm gonna upload 10 hours of relaxing at the oasis.

It's a minibiome so it'll just make the regular surface desert less boring. https://forums.terraria.org/index.php?threads/the-oasis.73515/ Redigit posted:If there is enough water within a certain distance, oasis plants will grow instead of cacti. The cattails will grow anywhere on sand if the water depth is right. Dragonflies will spawn anywhere near cattails.

What they need to do is add a 'wide world' option. Make the 3 options 50% wider than normal, with the biomes the same relative size compared to a normal world, so there becomes plenty of space.

A friend asked about it, so I went looking and found this. https://terraria.curseforge.com/projects/story-red-cloud Remember that old Dark Souls, But Terraria adventure mod/map from 6 years ago? It works in the modern version of the game now! EDIT: It's old-rear end Terraria. No changes from 1.2 onward have made it in. So adjust expectations accordingly.

I just remembered the Calamity mod, and decided to look at what might have changed in there over the last like 6-10 months. Why do people think game design like this is good and cool? Why do they have a challenge to beat one of the hardest bosses period on Expert plus and on Hardcore just for a pet that will hit you for 500 damage if you go without light, which also spawns boss adds for extra gently caress yous? why did they make a drunk princess NPC that is also a reference to MLP apparently? Why create an underwater zone that nulls water breathing? Why, just loving why?

But yeah I dont get it. It's not even fun challanging it's just loving retard levels of nuclear autism.

grimcreaper posted:Well. gently caress you because the mod maker said so. And gently caress you again just because the first one wasn't enough. Yeah, about a year ago I did a run as a throwing based character, I was only able to beat the Calamity bosses that were there then because I had like 4 mods worth or overpowered gear which turned me into a bullet hell shooter the moment I threw so much as a knife. Now I'm not sure if that would work, because if you somehow get strong enough to do more than a certain amount of damage at once to the later bosses they just nullify the attacks outright. Also, it was grindy as gently caress with its resources and drops. Most of which you didn't even get if you were on a normal world.
