For the wall of flesh, you want to build a runway in the underworld that runs at least half the length of the map.

Why? How do you use it? I'm getting close myself and I'm a newb newb as well.

You also really, really want a good ranged/magic weapon, preferably one that pierces multiple enemies. Fighting the Wall of Flesh in melee is somewhere between suicidal and outright impossible..

I have an Ice Boomerang, that good?

This might sound a bit elitist but that is not how I mean it at all. Wall of Flesh is pretty much the end of the tutorial, the way the game opens up and expands after that is pretty absurd. I'm not going to spoil anything because the game loving goes places. Basically, you're in for a ride in the best way possible.

Well I'm watching the Hardcore PBG Gaming Season 3 series and they only go to the Wall of Flesh so yeah it'll certainly be a surprise when I finally make it to Hardmode.

Well my son is the Creative Director for PBJ Gaming (the channel) which is how I know about Terraria in the first place so I'll finish that series. Expert seems truly frightening given the myriad deaths I've experienced playing this 'tutorial". :negative:

Hey guys I'm unsure of where to go from here. I'm in Hardmode, I have a Godly KO Cannon, a Demonic Clockwork Assault Rifle, a mix of Molten and Orichalum armor, Obsidian Shield, and some movement accessories. Should I start fishing for stuff? I was going to try to get the Dao Pao weapon, but there's no Hallowed Desert in my world.

Any suggestions much appreciated!!!

DoubleNegative posted:

Since you seem to be focusing on melee/ranged damage, what I recommend is making yourself some Frost Armor. It costs 46 bars of Titanium/Adamantite and 3 Frost Cores, but it's one of the best general hard mode sets you can get outside of the super specialized stuff. It causes all of your melee and ranged attacks to inflict the frostburn debuff on enemies. You can also make a pretty strong ranged weapon by combining a shotgun (from the arms dealer), 2 dark shards, and 10 souls of night.

Also, you mentioned "some movement accessories" does that include wings? If not, you should go harpy hunting. Be prepared for Falcor.

No I don't have Wings. How do I find Floating Islands? Isn't that where the harpy's are? I'll look up Falcor :)

I looked up Wyvern's and it looks like it's pretty hard to fight them without titanium armor, so I'm working on getting a set. Looks like it'll be a long long time as I'm not finding much sadly.

Thanks everyone!

Yeah, even on hardmode the wyvern isn't too difficult. Lure it down to an arena if you want to be safe (especially since harpies will continue to spawn if you fight it up high) but with a little bit of dodging practice you'll be totally fine. And the wings are worth it.

Alrighty I will give it a shot. I have an arena set up next to my house, maybe I'll move the nurse even closer to the arena.

If you haven't learned it yet, breaking more altars spawns more hard mode ores, so try that if you're looking for more adamantine too.

I broke three, I should break more?

Well twice I found a Wyvern and went home, and twice it didn't follow me. I tried fighting one in the air but I don't think my armor is good enough. I broke about 8 or so altars but still no titanium. I'm going down to where I fought the Wall of Flesh, is that the right place to find it?

Thanks all, so much appreciated, I was getting so frustrated.

Go down to hell and dig up, stupid! (titanium spawns more often at deeper levels)

I guess I don't understand what/where Hell is? I was told not to try to mine where the Wall of Flesh is, are you saying (yes rudely) that I should mine above there? Amazingly enough I wasn't born with Terraria knowledge and the wiki is not clear on this point.

Sorry but I'm new at this game and am trying to play it so I can finish it or at least get to Plantera.

The Hallowed Mimic and the Rune Wizard are eating me for lunch, I think mostly because I don't recognize them in time and switch to my assault rifle. I'll work harder on killing the Hallowed Mimic for the Bow.

In a pinch, you can force-spawn hallowed mimics by crafting a light key with 15 light souls, cramming it (and nothing else) into a chest, then closing the chest. Makes it easier to prepare for the fight.

I have a ton of light souls, I'll give that a shot.

For the Megashark, you might want to try taking four full stacks of normal musket balls to a crystal ball (available from the Wizard) and crafting a bag of infinite musket balls.

This was awesome!!! Game became a lot easier, even without the blaster.

I'm a fan of using party bullets instead. It's not quite free but it does a good bit more damage and provides a ton of light while only costing 50 silver a stack.

Yeah the party bullets paired with the blaster is working great! 204 skeleton archers down and still no quiver :( I've gotten other drops that the wiki says have a .04 chance to drop but not that one.

Don't bring them down equally. Focus on one over the other, or you're in for a world of hurt. Also I'm sure this is a dumb question, but are you using buff potions? A heap of buffs can make all the difference in the world.

I'm using endurance, swiftness, cooked fish, regeneration and ironskin. Have I missed any?

Mountaineer posted:

Focus your attacks on the eye that shoots green flames. It's the more dangerous of the two, and the laser-shooting eye is easy to take out when it's alone. One tip I have for avoiding their attacks is that you fly/fall vertically faster than you can move horizontally, so flying straight up or jumping off your skybridge is a good way to quickly get out of the way of the green flamethrower attack.

Thanks. Yeah this worked better than the unicorn approach which kept me too far down. On to Skeletron Prime!!!

Again thanks everyone this has been so much fun!

(I'm a she :) ) I have the Daedalus Stormbow, that's how I killed the Skeletron Prime. Man just completed the Solar Eclipse. My nurse died right off the bat, but I got out to my arena and stayed at the top, so I only died like 15 times instead of a lot more. I guess Plantera is next? But I need the green armor, right?

Well that didn't work, Plantera de-spawned when it got down to half health. My runway was 175 tiles, is that too many? I'm using the teleportation trick strategy discussed in the wiki and I watched a couple of vids on it as well.

Yep worked like a charm and I have my autohammer. Now for the big decision. I have a Megashark, a Clockwork Assault Rifle, a Daedalus Stormbow, a grenade launcher and a Chlorophyte Shotbow. So which Shoomite mask do I make? I don't mind farming for something else, noting I have not beaten the Golem or Fishron.

Golem barely seems worth cheesing, he's so easy compared to Plantera.

Using the teleport strategy described on the wiki, Plantera was probably the easiest boss I've faced. I do wonder if it's an exploit but I only play vanilla and I don't know much (as you can tell) about the innards of the game. I made a 150 tile (not more) asphalt pathway, made sure it was tall enough only for me, and teleported from one end to the other as Plantera closed in. Didn't even need to use a health potion.

OK back to farming unicorns :)
