So I finally actually looked a the achievement list. Mecha Mayhem Do battle against the Twins, the Destroyer, and Skeletron Prime simultaneously and emerge victorious. I, uh, guess everyone is expected to be Yrimir?

I just got a new bow drop from Queen Bee. It turns your (specifically wooden, I guess) arrows into "columns of bees"  I need some wooden arrows.

Found some arrows. Bee's Knees (the bow) is amazing: It shoots an "arrow" made of a bunch of bees as a normal arrow, and when it hits something, each bee goes off and does it's own thing.Ambaire posted:I didn't see this mentioned yet, but has the GPS always worked in your inventory? Because it and the R.E.K. 3000 both function while in your inventory; they don't need to be in your accessory slots. So awesome. All of the information type accessories do now. It's pretty amazing.

Dareon posted:There's also a mystic dropper sold by the Wizard that can be filled with water, lava, or honey (Via crafting with a pool by a crystal ball). I haven't played with it, so I don't know precisely, but it's possible that could either dupe fluids, or suck up mass quantities of fluids to be placed elsewhere. It, er, appears to be furniture. But I don't have the slightest idea where I'm allowed to place it. Oh, now I see. You put it in a tile, and it does that little dropper cosmetic thing they added.

So playing a while, I have determined that this game needs Cloud Furniture, and then it can be left alone forever, because it's now pretty close to perfect (to me). ... maybe also raincloud furniture. That drips water.

Lakitu7 posted:It seems like yoyos are so good that there's almost no reason to use most swords anymore? I'm not sure what the hardmode yoyo situation looks like but pre-hardmode all the best swords I used to be excited about seem strictly outclassed. Meowmere and Star Wrath are pretty good. Not as conventional swords, but they're pretty good. I need to get a Last Prism, though. Kamehameha-ing is fun.

DrManiac posted:I think i'm stuck on hard mode. Melee weapons aren't actually very good against bosses. You just don't want to be that close to them. Yoyo's make it a lot better, but it'll still usually be easier early on to just use ranged or magic. Later melee weapons fire projectiles, so they work great.

Ashsaber posted:Minecarts outpace him. Make a circular track where you get up to speed and then leave it, add a teleporter from your base, then you can teleport over before he spawns, hop in your cart and be almost untouchable (he may still hit you every other loop or so). If you're near death, mirror back home, heal from the nurse, teleport back and repeat. Can you post a picture? Sounds interesting.

Uh. Huh. So I decided to try out the slime mount I finally got around to getting. So I went to fight Skeletron. Started bouncing on his head and shooting down at him. This worked pretty well. Right up until he said "gently caress this poo poo, I'm out", and started flying up. And up. And up. Eventually, I was in space, fell off his head, but he kept going up. So, er, apparently Skeletron despises this poo poo so much he leaves the planet. He didn't come back down, either.

So, the Sponge has been advertised to me as being an "infinite bucket". This is a highly disappointing advertisement. Not only can it not absorb lava, thus ruining the most amazing function of the bucket, you can't even output what you absorb, as far as I can tell. Back to the bucket-mobile. At least there's an infinite water bucket, but sadly no infinite lava bucket. 1.3.0.4 infinite lava bucket please Redigit! Supremezero fucked around with this message at 22:22 on Jul 6, 2015 |

Kly posted:does not facing her even work? that was the first thing I tried after one of them killed me for the first time and it didnt seem to matter if my back was to her or not. It's actually the other way around. She can't be facing you. So if you somehow manage to be close enough and fast enough to see her, recognize her petrify animation, and manage to get behind her, you're good. Needless to say, this will basically never happen.

 Sometimes I hate this game. Like when, during a Solar Eclipse, a Deadly Sphere drops a Mythical Deadly Sphere Staff... and before I can safely pick it up, it despawns. Or when a Mothron finally spawns right at the end of the Eclipse, flies around for a bit, then simply flies away like a douche. I want to upgrade from my Kraken dammit!

Wolpertinger posted:Having now beat normal mode, I really wish they'd put a mode between normal and expert mode, or rebalance expert mode some - Normal mode is mostly a faceroll outside of the moon lord stuff, but doing expert mode with a few friends was really fun up until skeletron - we /nearly/ beat him enough that I'm sure we could have managed with a little more work, but from what I've heard and seen hardmode bosses are just flat out unfair. Requiring near-perfect dodging just isn't reasonable with all that extreme damage bosses start doing on expert. Not really. The only expert mode boss that's significantly different is Eye of Cthulu with his crazy dash spam (and arguably Skeletron with his defense schtick). The rest of them are just flat out numbers. It's not really any different to how you would play them on normal mode, you just have less room for error. GenericOverusedName posted:Oh crap. Is there a Boreal version too? I have a dumb idea about a winter treefort and now I'm tempted to hunt down one so it'll match the trees. Nah, they added the mahogany version for those trees in the underground jungle. There's nothing like that for Boreals.

Pakled posted:Yeah, but you won't know where sky islands are without some sort of flying ability unless you either cheat or manually check every screen-sized portion of sky by building dirt blocks up. So I guess I should say it's not impossible to get to them without flying or gravitation potions (after which you can build a rope down), but it's either cheating or incredibly tedious to do so. They're generally all at around the same height, so if you find one you can find them all. Given that you can just build a rope ladder up to space, jump off, and, with a parasol (which is reasonably common) cover a lot of air space just from that, it's not really that hard.

nerdz posted:Yeah, I gotta admit we are beating expert hardmode bosses by being a lot of people throwing themselves at them (around 10), which means less chance of everyone dying at once and the boss despawning. Even then, we beat skeletron prime seconds before dawn. I don't think I'd play expert solo or on small numbers, though. It's actually not that bad Solo. Expert hates partying up.

Xenaero posted:You guys are so smart, I never woulda thought about a chlorophyte farm. Shame it doesn't work in the sky. It actually might, it would just be slow as all gently caress if it does. Chlorophyte's growth speed increases as you go down. So the fairly eh speed that you actually see in the jungle is actually bad. In an Underworld farm, it will literally be growing while you're building the farm.
