Desperate Character posted:how do you beat Expert Wall of Flesh? Even with full molten armor, a long hellbridge and a minishark I could only do 1/4 of his health before he killed me Buff potions, a bow using jester/hellfire arrows (make sure to use an archery potion!), and depending on whether you died from hitting the edge of the map or just attrition use the armor from the dungeon that boosts ranged attacks instead of molten armor.

Matt141 posted:(1.3 endgame spoilers)Finally defeated the moonlord on expert on poxin's server, it's soooo not worth it, his hp total reaches over 1 million with like 6 players, and the expert accessory is just a accessory that's a shittier gravity pot(can't change your direction mid-air). Not only that, you gotta kill the moonlord several times to get a single full set of 1.3 armor, don't bother with expert outside of wall of flesh, eater of worlds and fishron accessories, others are worthless. God forbid you play something for "fun" or "the challenge".

Xenaero posted:Why does Fireblossom seem to harvest it self? Is it actually popping out of the pots, or just changing the growth stage? Every plant has 3 growth steps: Newly planted, harvestable but not "bloomed" (which will just give you the herb) and bloomed (gives the herb and seeds). Most plants have different criteria for blooming except shiverthorn and blinkroot, which just bloom whenever the hell they feel like. If a plant is at stage 2 it'll switch back and forth between 2 and 3 whenever its criteria are met. Daybloom blooms when you'd expect it, Moonglow at night, Waterleaf while it's raining, Deathweed during blood moons, and Firebloom will bloom during late afternoon for about two hours before sunset.

Play normal if: You're playing solo or playing with only one other person; you haven't played the game through up to Golem previously; you don't feel like checking the wiki frequently to see what armor/weapons are available to you at arbitrary points of the game; you don't want to have to worry about potions; you are not the sort of person who min/maxes in games. Play expert if: You're in multiplayer with probably at least two other people, are a masochist, are the sort of person who is playing a game and constantly looking for methods to break it over your knee, and/or want your balls crushed in a vise.

If you ever found one of those underground spider nest things, go back to those. There are now hardmode spiders that drop bits to make a spider armor/summoning set. After that is another new item craftable after you kill the Twins. efb

legoman727 posted:"Okay I just killed the golem, time to look for life fruits before corruption eats my jungle... oh hey Solar Eclipse." If you're at the point where you're killing golem, presumably you've killed at least one of the mech bosses. Doing that severely slows corruption growth and I'm pretty sure completely stops it overtaking the jungle.

DarthJeebus posted:Ugh, I forgot how burned out I get trying to contain the corruption/crimson after the wall. I should probably just stop being attached to my worlds and just loot them for what I can before moving onto the next. Using bombs to dig 4 wide tunnels to hell is easy enough but everything else gets overrun and there isn't poo poo I can do about it. By the time I have it all contained, my world will be practically empty from all the digging. For what it's worth, I've been playing on a multiplayer server that's been running 24/7 and nobody killed any mech bosses for 3 days and there was still plenty of grassland left over and the jungle was fine. People are waaaaay too afraid of those eating the world. I mean, other than the jungle there really isn't much you lose, and the jungle takes so long to convert that you'd have to leave it on for weeks before you lost most of it, and I have to imagine you'd kill a mech boss and stop it before then.

I see him all the time while exploring, usually just above lava layer. I don't even really use yoyos on this character.  It's probably one of those "you always find him when you don't need anything from him, and when you do he's nowhere to be found" things.

Excelzior posted:if there was a spawn item, I could spawn plantera asap before the corruption gets even a tick of spread in If you've killed the mech bosses then A) corruption spread has slowed down, and B) chlorophyte ore has spawned, which converts corrupt dirt back into mud and re-jungles it. Seriously I don't understand where people got the idea that the corruption will just burn right through their jungle and make it impossible to progress if they don't rush right through everything. It takes ages for it to convert a single tile just because the odds of it getting the jungle grass off the mud and turning the mud into dirt before the jungle grass grows over it again are so low.

The expert mode lunar event went from completely impossible to very hard when I used a full load of those. This is true for basically everything. Even just ironskin, regen, and the food (you have no excuse, buy it whenever the travelling trader shows up) will significantly increase your lifespan.

Jet Jaguar posted:I eventually found her tucked into a corner I had missed. Now I can have ridiculous hair, assuming I never wear a helmet again! The clothier sells a cosmetic item that lets you have your hair dangling out while still wearing a helmet. It's handy if you wear one of the UI-related hair dyes - the ones that change color depending on your mana/health. You can farm most thing except mushrooms using clay pots now which you'll want to have a backwall around. For regular mushrooms, they'll just grow wherever; for glowing mushrooms, find one of the natural biomes underground and chop them up until you get mushroom grass seeds which you can use to replant it. There is an NPC who only lives in mushroom biomes but he won't show up at all unless you've killed the wall of flesh and there are some annoying enemies that spawn in mushroom biomes so hold off on that for now.

FraudulentEconomics posted:Just one shot Skeletron in expert. A simple arena with heart lantern and bonfire combined with basic buffs yielded a clean kill. There isn't anything special in the expert dungeon right? I'm going to need to go to another world to get abeemonation materials but oh well. Beenades and a ranged piercing or splash damage weapon. Water bolt or demon scythe for magic, and a bow using unholy or hellfire arrows for conventional ranged. Melee can do well with the mace weapons (sunfury or blue moon) or a yo-yo if you've got all the extra poo poo for those but expert WoF gets really fast at the end of the fight and you'll be much closer to it as melee so it's a bit riskier. e: Use the bows until you get rid of all its stupid tentacle things, then switch to the minishark. When the WoF first spawns it's got this cloud of stupid tentacle things in front of it that keep you away from it and block nonpiercing attacks.

Yes, natural walls let monsters spawn and you can't set your spawn at a bed in a room monsters can spawn in. That said, you'll have to lay backwalls down starting from the surface because you can't clear out backwall or replace backwall unless it's touching an "open" backwall or a player-placed backwall already.

Pound_Coin posted:...So to have my NPCs live in an underground vault I'll need to hammer out the entire background area of their rooms from the surface down? In previous versions, yes, but in this one you can just replace the backwall straight up - left clicking on the natural snow backwall once with a crafted backwall in your hand once will remove it, then again to place that. You can do that straight down that wall separating your greenhouse area from the shaft on the left so that you don't have an ugly seam in your base. You'll probably want to replace it all eventually anyway because monsters can spawn there (this isn't minecraft, they don't give a poo poo about light levels, it's all about what's in the background layer) but that'll do for getting your bedroom valid and some NPC spawn areas set up.

I only used a handful of potions before but now I use tons of them since its so easy to take one out and drink it. I don't have to plan ahead or bother with placing a safe to get potions out, just summon the pig and drink up. Makes things a lot more convenient.
