>you will never make that shota gel slime block structure

Still trying to beat Expert mode on Hardcore. Don't you love when you've just spent hours unlocking hardmode, you're farming souls in the underworld, and a demon drops a Guide Doll on a shallow stream of lava from a dead lava slime, spawns the Wall of Flesh, and then ruins your game?

I think I'm going to switch to small worlds for a while, large worlds just have too much investment.

>>14002602

That's some dedication, anon. I tried Hardcore and got as far as Plantera on standard mode before I gave up. It was really fun but I'm just not willing to invest so much time and effort a second time.

Looks way too confusing, if there were to be a terraria in 3d, it'd have to be like DQ Builders.

>>14003548

When/if Terraria 2 comes out, 2.5D would look cool. But, the sprite art means lower-spec systems can run it. And maybe dropping sprites for line-art would be better.

It's probably from another mod. Those aren't exactly normal NPCs.

Whew, 9 hours to kill the Wall of Flesh this time. I think I always spend too much time fishing to prepare a mineral supply for hardmode.

That's just unbalanced. I'll get mine. Also, I really hate Tremor's wiki page, it's really undocumented compared to the rest.

>>14008057

Sure, but that doesn't mean shotas on themselves are not gay. They are gay, the only way they are not gay is if they are fucking a loli or a milf.

Also, here, have an archive to the last thread.

>>14008167

You must at least concede that shotas are LESS gay than traps.

>I may have fucked myself choosing hardcore for the first time.

Try this mod:

https://forums.terraria.org/index.php?threads/lives-injury.52287/

It basically just makes you a hardcore character with 3 lives. It's slightly more forgiving than pure hardcore, but still gives you the hardcore fear of death. But I think you may have to restart your character for it, since it says it only works for softcore/mediumcore characters.

>>14009273

It's really easy to die in this game. If you want challenge without the frustration, go soft/medium Expert.

>>14008811

SANADA CLAN STRONK.

>>14007145

Cheeky cunt

Which Twin do you usually kill first? Last time I tried killing the laser eye first and it didn't end so well. The cursed flame eye is so hard to dodge.

>>14011781

If you take the cursed flame one into his second stage he becomes easier since his attacks become short range.

>>14009394

It looks alright, but why's with the mix of red and blue? I think it's a bit much.

>>14011964

Pretty sure some temples and shrines do that as well.

>>14012073

Of course, paint. Lookin' good, man.

>>14008811

Maybe try to make more of a kabuto helmet shape, though it would have to start lower. I think the sanada emblem is a bit too big in relation to the rest. The antlers look cool otherwise.

>>14012162

>I think the sanada emblem is a bit too big in relation to the rest.

I think so too. It's sort of a resolution problem with trying to pixel art in Terraria. If you try to get things to scale then they end up huge.

I'm going to have to rethink this.

>>14012781

Snek is cute.

>>14012781

>Level 17

Huh?

>>14013021

That's a pretty nice setup. Perfect example of how to get away from floating prisons.

>>14013360

I'm playing with the Thorium, Spirit, Calamity and Tremor mods as some fags suggested last thread. There's so much content it's like discovering the game all over again. The mods clash a little bit, and there's definitely some bloat, but it's easy to ignore when you look at all the unique bosses, biomes, NPCs and items they add.

>>14013393

If those are supposed to be cookies then I'd say bottom row looks best.

>>14013021

What mod are those windows from?

Someone post some nice commieblocks. Does housing need to be rectangular?

>>14007059

There are a ton of ways to play through, especially with mods. Every time I finish a run, I learn about some new thing I missed before that I'd like to try.

>>14013633

Calamity and Thorium are easily the best content mods. Thorium is a super polished expansion that fits so well into the base game design- and balance-wise that it's easy to forget what's vanilla and what isn't. Calamity deviates a bit more and has its own distinct style, and both gear and bosses tend to outclass vanilla and Thorium. Both add post-Moon Lord content, but Calamity in particular adds a LOT, to the point that after ML you've still got a solid 20% of the game to go. I enjoy stacking content mods, but some people hate it - it's up to you. It will throw the balance off, but I'd say it's outweighed by the fun of finding cool synergies and just having so much more good stuff in the game. Makes for a million ways to play.

Tremor is unbalanced, buggy, and bloated - I wouldn't bother with it if I were you. Spirit isn't as bad as Tremor, but it's a clear notch below Thorium and Calamity. I had a couple of playthroughs with it, but ultimately decided that it does more harm than good and uninstalled.

Other good QoL and lesser content mods:

>Fargo's Mutant Mod: Summons and Souls

A bit of a grab-bag of content. Primarily adds two NPCs that sell boss and event summon items, but also adds a wide variety of miscellaneous gear - a non-consumable spawn rate multiplier for farming, an instant hellevator builder, enchantments that let you use armor set bonuses as accessories, a large amount of absurdly powerful endgame accessories that take a ton of autism to get, and a bunch of other interesting stuff.

>Wing Slot

Exactly what it says on the tin: adds a dedicated slot for wings. I like it, I feel like it should have been the case in vanilla, but some people consider it cheaty.

>Magic Storage

A system of storage units that lets you compress all your chests into a single expanded storage inventory and craft directly from it.

>WeaponOut

Causes your character to passively hold out items at the ready; it works very well for vanilla items and most mod items and can be toggled. Also adds a number of weapons, including a fists/gauntlets melee sub-class, a hook crafted from Rod of Discord that binds it to your grapple key, and a number of miscellaneous other useful weapons and items.

>AlchemistNPC

Adds three post-Eye NPCs that sell vanilla and modded buff potions, common crafting ingredients, gemstones, and various other things. A fourth comes in Hardmode that sells convenient (though less cost-effective) buff combinations. Also adds a few items here and there, most notably an absurdly overpowered upgrade to Crystal Bullets made with the Autohammer.

>Recipe Browser

Never talk to your guide again with this straight upgrade that is slowly but surely compressing as much wiki information as possible into a toggleable ingame overlay that contains recipes and a bestiary with item drops.

>Boss Checklist

A nice overlay that lists bosses in a toggleable overlay, as well as outlining the basics of how to summon them. Especially useful for playing with mods you don't know.

>JereTheJuggler's Custom Generation

Adds a number of fun naturally generated structures. They look great and fit wonderfully into the game, and some contain nice loot.

There are plenty more, too. More worldgen, level mods, RPG mods, mods that make the game way harder or way easier. Just click around the mod browser or the forums.

>>14014004

What are the blocks in that fourth pic suppose to be?

>>14014953

Rugs. You can place them on top of any block to function as, well, rugs.

>>14015100

I've seen that same commie block structure somewhere else.

>>14017667

It has the structure of a commieblock.

>>14018269

>>14022690

It has more depth and better features than Minecraft. I wish that Minecraft were more like Terraria.

>>14023891

That's why I just make a tower of NPC houses. Minimal invasion, and can functional as a useful barrier.. Only problem I've found is dealing with eclipses when Mothra starts showing up.

>>14023891

I'd like to try out some sort of bunker complex some time, but I see no way to prevent wall-phasing enemies from dropping down into it and killing all my NPCs.

>>14023933

If you build it deep enough then you won't have to worry about that.

>>14024027

They'll still fall through whatever you're using as a door, won't they? What's the solution, a big chunk of actuated blocks, or waiting to unlock the Steampunker for a teleporter?

>>14024088

Correct.

>>14024088

Checked.

So how exactly are you supposed to end a goblin army invasion if you die on Mediumcore? Seems like I should have kept a chest of recall potions at my secondary spawn so that I could move back and forth when things get hairy. Didn't think to do that and now I can't grab my stuff fast enough to escape my spawn point.

>>14024810

You keep several backups of your shit, ideally next to your spawn.

>>14024810

You don't play tediumcore.

>>14024810

Jesus Christ I thought I'd try out a Mediumcore game for once to maybe practice the stuff I never survive Hardcore long enough to try much, but it seems I've gotten into an impossible-to-recover scenario here.

>>14024854

I did it worse, with Pirates

>>14024854

>>14024810

Whew, so one of my NPCs killed a head goblin in my housing tower and it dropped a Shadowflame Knife. Tried climbing my tower for once to escape all the sorcerers when I spawn, and the knife let me kill them all and grab my stuff and run to safety!

>>14024176

If you build far enough below the surface you won't have to worry about phasing monsters at all other than the odd pigron and ghosts during Halloween.

You can also try to build a gap all the way around your house since phasing creatures aren't all that competent with their phasing abilities.

>>14025492

>>14025550

I'm not following this gap concept.

>>14025809

Thinkness of solid wall, I mean.

It's too bad phasing enemies aren't harmed by lava.

I'm surprised there still isn't a way to block Wraiths. Would be cool if platinum or some of the hardmode ores blocked their path.

>>14025965

They need to implement ghost bricks made from specter bars that block phase faggots.

>>14025988

What's the point if you'd have to be raped by wraiths for most of hard mode? Specter is post-Plantera.

>>14026021

Well hallowed bricks then. Both of those need their own brick type anyway.

>raped by wraiths

Do other people really have that much problems with wraiths? They seemed cease being much of an issue for me around 1.3.

>>14026092

Every single blood moon and eclipse.

I can't remember the last time I put NPCs or storage under ground though for that reason.

>>14026106

>eclipse

Yeah those are pretty rough. Thankfully they did change it to where reapers don't spawn in the early hardmode versions any more. Even then I only usually loose the guys right on the ground floor so I'm mindful to house my NPCs on their level of importance and difficulty of respawn. So the Guide dies a lot and Ponkers stays safely in the sky below wyvern altitude.

Has anyone else completed their music box collection? I'm about 4 away.

I think I'm going to build a record store or something once 1.3.6 drops.

I still don't have a consistent strategy for the Twins. I really hate cheesing, but I feel like I need to place the Nurse at a warp point and move back and forth between the battle area curing inferno debuff constantly. Once I defeat the flame eye the other one is easy, but I just can't do that on a consistent basis. My arena is just a set of five planks in balloon jumping height like I've used for other bosses and I don't know how it could be made better. Anyone have any tips for Expert Twins?

>>14029285

I usually use some gravitation potions, and shoot at it with a Daedalus Stormbow/Holy arrow combo.

>>14029339

>gravitation potion combat

That sounds incredibly confusing. I stopped using a Stormbow for the eyes because it was too hard to control which one died first and to keep them both out of danger mode at the same time. I use a Megashark to focus on just one at a time now. On Crimson worlds I alternate between casting ichor and attacking with Light Discs.

Golden platforms are annoyingly rare.

>>14029360

If you're using a megashark, then be sure you're using crystal bullets. Especially when they're dashing towards you, they'll run right into the bullet shards.

But yeah, using gravitation potions in combat can be disorienting at first. That's why I typically only switch before I reach the low gravity part of the sky, and when I'm closing in on the ground. I just find it easier to go fast enough to escape the Twins when I'm falling than when I'm running.

Also don't forget food and potion buffs. They may seem small, but every little bit helps. And if you find heart statues, place them in key locations where you can get to it easily. Sometimes the handful of hearts it makes can save your life, even up to the Moonlord.

>>14029285

Make a flat place on the ground or a flat elevated platform and get a unicorn or maybe a basilisk. Really a best mount would be a pigron.

Also I'm a big supporter of Frost armor. And use minions and maybe some sentries.

>>14029285

Movement, movement, movement.

I remember the shield of Chtulu or whatever was useful, dashing allows you to dodge and to move just a bit more where you need to go.

Movement is life, stillness is death.

>>14029451

>>14029396

I drink up as many potions as I can, and shield of cthulu is basically my single most used item in all of expert mode, kept equipped at basically all times until Tabis become available. Aerial acceleration is incredibly useful all over the place.

>>14029484

I'm not sure I understand this post.

If anyone is interested, I'm thinking of starting up a dedicated with Thorium and extra large worlds.

>>14029445

I always use Frost amor and minions and sentries just dish out a small bit of extra damage to speed things up (when they aren't canceling the damage of something else anyway). I usually have a Pigron as well, but I frankly don't think it's fast enough to be helpful. The instant acceleration of shield of cthulu is more useful to me than a mount's raw speed, and trying to do both at once (dash then mouth for instant top mount speed) is asking for dexterity that's pretty tough during a boss battle. My problem really is dodging that cursed flame eye.

>>14029505

Are you wearing a frozen turtle shell?

>>14030106

You know I don't think I've ever actually had one of those drop for me. Are they actually worth grinding for?

>>14030165

They can absolutely save your ass. You'll probably want to make an arena in the underground snow. Just clear out the screen and elevate yourself to where the floor is just off screen. Then just water candle and battle potion up and activate your minions. You'll get plenty of ice mimic items in the time of it too.

On the offensive side of things try out a a shadowflame bow combined with a flask of cursed flame and your frost armor to double up the pain.

>>14029491

Calamity mod is a large content mod with gear that's generally stronger than vanilla and bosses that are generally harder. Calamity adds an upgrade to Expert Mode called Revengeance Mode that makes a number of changes - you deal and take more damage, enemies drops five times the money, bosses have better AI and stats, and - notably - talking to the nurse during a boss fight kills you.

>>14029285

They can't catch up to you and they have poor accuracy as they're chasing you. A gravity potion should be enough to just constantly outrun them and rarely get hit. Once you get the hang of if you'll be extremely surprised at how easy they are. Runways may make you go too fast in comparison.

You wanna know real cheese though? Get your hp regen as high as you can and then take sand falling damage. There is a limit of how many times you can get hit per tick.

>>14029339

>>14029396

Wow, finally gave gravitation potion a try, never got hit by a single cursed flame attack. I can't believe how effective this is. The laser eye is a bit trickier to dodge while falling and it doesn't really keep up with you for easy shooting, but that one can be handled on its own on the ground easily enough. Looks like I don't need to worry about the Twins ever again.

>>14036595

World spawn can get strange sometimes.

I died during the queen bee fight. How to I get it to come back again? I go back the the hive and nothing is there.

>>14037128

Either find another hive, or make her boss item.

How do you pause the game? What is at the end of the dungeon with all the skeletons in it?

>>14037721

Press Esc and turn autopause on. There is no end to the Dungeon, sadly. The reward is whatever you find in the unlockable chests strewn throughout it.

>>14037824

Also freeing the Mechanic. The Mechanic is single best reward for accessing the Dungeon in my opinion.

>>14037008

World gen in general's usually pretty shit. It seems to despise me for some reason though. I once got a corrupted world back before you couldn't choose and not only was the corruption in the middle of the jungle. All fucking 3 of them were overlapping each other so the entirely of the surface wasn't even jungle. Outside of that it just needs larger maps and biomes in general. Crossing a desert should feel like crossing a desert. Instead it's a short walk. This is made worse when I actually like a biome and want to live in it like the arctic. I actually had to go into map editor to make a larger arctic biome just so I would feel like I was in an arctic region just so my settlement didn't encapsulate the entire region.

>>14037839

Things like that are why I always use a map viewer to do a sanity check on things before I commit to it.

>>14037917

Fuck I'm over the shitty generation. I'm just editing things the way I want them now. I'm tired of beaches that food a quarter of the surface or completely buried dungeon. Plus I can now make an entire world arctic or something. If anybody wants something unique like that just ask, I'm having fun with the editor also how do you add/remove liquids?

Curious how you handle the Eye.

Are there any christmas events going on in terraria?

>>14043062

Presents drop from enemies and various zombies, rabbits, and slimes are Christmas themed. Presents contain Christmas themed food, food shaped potions, vanity items, a few bits of Christmas gear, and building materials.

So I thought Terraria was on XNA for the longest time, and it was, but at some point they moved to FNA? Obviously for the sake of compatibility and stuff. Any details about that?

>>14043062

you can get a summon to start a big chrissy event where you fight a shitton of monsters

>>14043062

Don't open all your presents in pre hardmode. Once you get to hardmode the presents can drop a snow globe that lets you summon and fight another Christmas themed event. Make sure to have an extra house for Santa.

Oh and the Traveling Merchant randomly sells 5 Christmas paintings too.

>>14042893

I had to fight the king slime and the eye at the same time thanks to random events, I just kept them at an arms length and shot them with space gun while abusing nurse one or two times.

>>14051200

How? The Eye becomes too fast on Expert when its health gets low and it starts the zigzagging attacks.

>>14042460

Solar Eclipses piss me off since they just happen every 3-4 days and it basically means I have to sit around doing nothing for 10 minutes while one minion kills everything. I want to build bases, damnit.

One time on some /v/ terraria thread I secretely spawned a bunch of events a bunch of times then I picked up the shekels of the fallen anons.

>>14055182

More solutions and accessories for the Clentaminator and the mod added sub-versions, most notably ways to fill in those holes where monsters are always getting stuck spawning when you're building a farm or arena for invasions and making them die slower. There are solutions for water, lava, jungle, and other things like that.

It also adds recipes for crafting ore solutions if you feel like it.

You can also make infinite ammo solutions by combining 4 stacks, including for ore solutions. Good luck getting enough of the rarer ores for that, though.

You shouldn't have kept that map.

Jungle is fucked now.

At best, you can try to replace the corruption with hallow, since hallow doesn't spread.

Otherwise? You're fucked.

Remember: before investing in a world make sure that the jungle is away from corruption/crimson and to plant a seed of hallow at each side, as a prevention measure.

I wish they would do something else with the desert some day. By the time you can mine desert fossils (and can survive ant lions) you have no need for the materials obtained from them. Same goes for Mandible Sword. Fossil armor is such a waste when it could be made a useful option for playthrough if obtained earlier or substantially increased in defensive power.

The only reason I typically go into the desert before hardmode is to gather mandibles for potions/sandgun before ant lions become scarce in hardmode.

I FINALLY found a fucking gold mouse.

Why do you guys love terraria so much?

>>14067491

freedom, variety and it's mod potential

>>14065084

The clentaminator and some jungle seeds should do the trick.

>>14069292

Barely. Corruption/Crimson spread in this game is bullshit because you have to destroy a good chunk of the world to purify it. Whenever I beat the moon lord and all of the events/bosses I just take that as the "I won" phase and go into the editor and purify it that way. It's cheating sure but it's much fucking better than digging tunnels to hell every 40 or so blocks just to keep the world clean.

>what is dynasty wood

you can get it from the traveling salesman anon

>>14069483

No this is in the base game. I don't have a single mod installed.

Is the fire gauntlet worth getting in hardmode? Or is it better to just stick with the mechanical glove for the extra 2% attack speed and damage?

>>14069507

>>14069506

thanks, last time I played was in 2014.

>>14069572

I haven't gone melee for a long time but I would probably upgrade it.

Fire gauntlet + frost armor + flask of cursed flame + shadowflame knife means you potentially have 4 kinds of fire going on at once. Five if you are in range of the Dryad.

>>14069641

There's a mod for that https://forums.terraria.org/index.php?threads/large-world-enabler.47751/

>>14069660

How is it my search engine doesn't find this shit? Must be because I switched browsers recently. Many thanks anon. I'll probably be a filthy cheater and just copy and paste my builds to the larger world though. Is there a floating island/space biome mod?

Why do I love you so much?

Now that the dust has settled, what does everyone think of expert mode? In my opinion the pre-hardmode experience is great but just doubling everything means enemies in hardmode easilly deal 200+ damage.

Seeing this thread, I'm thinking of replaying this and would like to see what mods have to offer. What would you recommend for a good modded experience? I was thinking of starting a plain Thorium medium expert world seeing as the thread seems to like Thorium. Does that sound good or should I have different settings, add additional mods, etc.? It'd be a two player server, me and my wife - last time we played we cleared moon lord on expert.

All right, here's a list of all the stuff I do before Expert hardmode, partly for my benefit:

-get 50 silver to spawn the Merchant

-do a bit of mining (straight downward) in order to get a gold or platinum bow for traversing corruption/crimson safely

-trek to ocean and obtain a Reaver Shark

-break a heart/shadow orb or farm some goblin clothes (usually the latter to prevent random invasions) to summon army for Goblin Tinkerer

-dig to underworld and very carefully harvest hellstone for armor/bow/imp staff

-fight Eye of Cthulu for Shield of Cthulu

-build walkway for Wall of Flesh, collect Demon Scythe for fighting it

-get a ruby/diamond robe and wizard hat for Wall of Flesh

-max out health

-maybe look for a Bezoar in Jungle while hunting hearts–bees become extremely dangerous in hardmode

-fish a ton of crates to open in hardmode for quick upgrades/avoiding random pirate invasions by never breaking an altar

-make sure have a full set of herb seeds

-collect ant lion mandibles for sandgun and potions since they become rare in hardmode

Lately I've managed to cut out fighting Skeletron and collecting various Dungeon prizes (Mechanic and Cobalt Shield being the most important in particular) entirely and saving that stuff for later, but sometimes the Wall of Flesh bumps you into a nasty trap without a Cobalt Shield. I find the crate fishing operation can be a source of quite significant time-lengthening , but hunting ores and adding random corruption/crimson/hallow blocks in the world along with random pirate invasions by breaking altars probably takes longer and makes hardmode even more dangerous in my opinion. I have found that, once equipped with a nimbus cloud and stormbow/onyx blaster, perhaps Molten Armor is "good enough" to defeat the Destroyer and upgrade straight to Hallowed Armor.

Thoughts? What else can be removed from this list? Alternative strategies?

Is the stardust dragon still the best summoner pet?

>>14070288

I can't find normie mode fun anymore, I need that Shield of Cthulu. The bosses in normie mode are also too exploitable. Most can be defeated effortlessly by just making a long rope.

>>14070342

Yes. Cell's are good to but only because Dragon doesn't always target the most immediate threat. I usually go largest dragon I can get and 2 or so cells.

>>14070374

Stardust dragon does piercing damage which ultimately limits your DPS.

Stardust dragon is the worst of the highest end summons, specially when you're on multiplayer.

>>14070407

The DPS is still high enough for it not to matter compared to the cell staff. He kills the moon lord at max level pretty efficiently regardless and kills enemies way off screen. Also if you're going multiplayer then you really shouldn't be summoner to begin with. Either way your only other alternative for summon at that point is cell staff which is decent but ultimately does less damage.

>>14070443

>>14070407

Stardust dragon goes through walls how would that NOT be good in MP?

>>14070744

He's trying to say that it hinders DPS because other players can't inflict damage to enemies while the dragon is. And since bosses have more HP in MP that can hinder the effort. Summon class isn't great in general for MP though so it doesn't matter.

>>14070744

Piercing damage makes the enemy taking damage get a few iframes, which means when you deal a piercing hit and a normal hit soon after your non-piercing damage is ignored.

This can really fuck up some builds, for instance some people use the phantasm bow with a stardust dragon summon (since you can have 1 summon no matter what your gear is and the stardust is the strongest single summon), but that makes them deal less damage than just using the phantasm alone.

>>14018209

Is that a shrine to goatse?

>>14070812

>>14070816

Oh i was thinking of pvp where the dragon can hit people through walls before they can hit the summoner.

>>14071010

Nope, just a coincidence.

>>14071010

Random loot chest.

>>14071010

So wait you ruined your very first playthrough of the game with mods? Jesus what an idiot.

>>14070934

Summoned creatures don't attack other players even in PvP last I checked.

>>14071067

What mods?

I like how the Anubis vanity armor is an order of magnitude more difficult to get than the actual Anubis armor. I have killed several hundred Ghouls and I still don't have enough ancient cloth.

>>14070291

I would say Ieyasu is more of a villain than Nobunaba was. Also you probably meant to click on the Nioh thread.

>>14071067

>He's never found an enchanted sword

>>14072256

>>14071745

Herp, nevermind. I just assumed some of that advanced gear was from mods. I still have yet to progress to the level of that glowy thisp pet myself.

>>14072826

You couldn't spring for living wood on that fourth one?

>>14073514

fifth*

What does anon use to kill the Wall of Flesh? Demon Scythe + magic power/regeneration potions work so well that it's gotten to the point where I never try anything else out anymore. Star Cannon seems like it would be surefire, but that takes far too long to grind out all the ammo needed.

>>14073514

>>14073516

By using normal wood on the trees he made it look like someone built that onto the tree rather than a room just growing out of the tree naturally so it's probably intended.

>>14074278

Crystal Storm is my personal favourite.

>>14074278

Bee's Knees and beenades with the Hive pack if playing on expert, if it could get any easier than that I would call it cheesing.

You don't even need ranged armor for it to work well, so you can even have some fallback gear if it somehow doesn't turn out too well for you.

>>14074423

but that's a hardmode weapon

>>14074626

Interesting, last time I tried bees I only used a Bee Gun with hive pack and shark necklace. It works but it requires a really long walkway to pull off. Never really tried the Bee's Knees, even though I love that bow. At some point I just figured fighting the Queen Bee wasn't worth my time.

>>14074423

How about pre-hardmode?

>>14074278

>but that takes far too long to grind out all the ammo needed.

You would think so but I found that you can collect a stack of 99 stars pretty quickly. You can even make a simple afk farm with a single block thick skybridge and rails on top and bumpers at each end.

>>14075947

Wow really? I'm surprised that's powerful enough to even be useful. Do you use meteor bullets for the piercing?

>>14075970

With Meteor Shot, even a Minishark is powerful enough to trivialize expert WoF if you aim for an eye. Blaster would be better, but you need to spam click way too much for my liking.

>>14070288

I think it's shit. Making every mob a damage sponge is the worst thing for this game and makes anything above softcore an absolute nightmare to play. I don't mind that they gave them more HP, I mind that they gave the mobs too much HP. It fell into the old Diablo 2 trap of making the mobs unbearably difficult and annoying.

The bosses are cool though. Some are still cheeseable by the conventional means however and pale in comparison to the rest of the game. I managed to kill the mechanical bosses the first time they summoned themselves naturally with the exception of the Twins.

>>14075879

It's the beenades that do the trick really.

>>14076070

>meteor shot

>with minishark

>fast weapon with penetrative bullets

That does not sound like a good idea, maybe use silver bullets instead.

**and the phoenix blaster is actually pretty

damn good if you don't have finger cancer or somethin**

>>14076135

oh shit i fucked up the spoiler how could this happen

>>14076135

The problem is that the Hungry cockblock your shots and they regenerate on expert.

>>14076237

then use the phoenix blaster to mitigate the damage cooldown because it's slower sort of

actually just use the fucking phoenix blaster because it's better

>>14074349

Looks shit

>>14070392

Always a good time. Lately I've considered making an Atlantis-like world and seeing how that goes.

>>14070392

How does this even work? Doesn't water evaporate in the underworld? I'm pretty sure the oceans are actually finite sources of water.

>>14075947

Finally gave this a try with Necro Armor and meteor shot. Not terribly impressed. My typical runway was not long enough but I probably would have survived with it a little longer.

>>14079294

Oh, and had a shark tooth necklace.

>>14077913

>Doesn't water evaporate in the underworld?

Yes unfortunately.

>I'm pretty sure the oceans are actually finite sources of water.

If they weren't your world would be constantly lagging because water settling lags the fuck out of the game.

Tried a whole ton of new Wall of Flesh strategies.

>>14074626

Beenades were far and away the best that I tried, I had no idea they were so good. I used Fossil Armor, Shark Tooth Necklace, Hive Pack, and about 60 Beenades stock (+ ammo conservation bonus). This is the only strategy that I have found which can actually kill the Wall of Flesh a tiny bit faster than my Demon Scythe strategy (at least with an Emerald Robe; scythe might work better with Ruby or Diamond but I couldn't test those). I'm very impressed.

Also tried regular grenades, they're really bad sadly despite being so powerful because their rate of fire is low.

>>14075947

Guns on the other hand are quite inferior. I tried Phoenix Blaster and Minishark with meteor shot and the Sandgun and they all require significantly longer runways than I'm accustomed to. I didn't get to test actually killing it, but I suspect the Minishark at least might have difficulty doing enough damage to kill it before it kills you when its on that last chunk of health where it speeds up faster than the player can run.

For kicks I tried giving Jungle Armor a try again to see if I could find a use for it. Against the Wall of Flesh it's totally pointless; a robe and wizard hat give better damage and critical hit output while only having a slightly lower mana reduction bonus (which doesn't matter much when you're using a mana regeneration potion anyway). The only use I can see is adding the leggings with a robe and hat, but Meteor Leggings provide a greater damage boost which is more important than +4% critical hit.

Also tried a variety of bows with necro armor. I was surprised by Hellwing Bow's performance with wooden arrows, I didn't think it would be very good because its power is so low. With a wide open arena (i.e., not a narrow passage dug out of rock that I'm currently using for testing), I could see this performing quite well. The jury is still out on whether Bee's Knees is better or worse than Molten Fury.
