Cool, a new melee weapon.

>>14554561

No. Just fireworks.

>>14554593

It's terrifying.

Why it does have so much of goddamn HP anyway?

>>14554884

>It's a late post-Moonlord enemy that spawns at a certain depth,

>even on the freshest of worlds like that one the screenshots are of

That's retarded.

Couldn't that mod pajeet make sure it only spawns if you defeated Moon Lord?

>>14554893

The abyss is layered technically, the top mostly empty section is post-skeletron, the section where the islands start appearing is roughly hardmode, deeper is moonlord and post-moonlord.

would love to play on a calamity mod server and more shit if it doesn't bog it down to much

Bump.

>>14556037

Did you try uninstalling the autism mod from your brain?

>>14559552

He can't. It's shaped like a puzzle piece and if he did it would look uneven and cause him to hyperventilate.

>>14556037

I was trying that but got bored, actually not hard if you put a stack of recall potions on a hotkey and escape whenever there's risk. The only point I'd likely die is right at the end with the Moon Lord since you can't escape and I haven't got much practice with him.

>>14559552

I try but I just can't find the "normal" Terraria experience satisfying. The game just doesn't punish you enough for failure.

>>14559629

Okay tough guy, give me a strategy for surviving Mothron consistently. Last time I tried an asphalt runway up in the air but I still got murdered somehow.

>>14559678

>give me a strategy for surviving Mothron consistently.

Depends. How much you wanna cheese it?

>>14559678

Play on Normal and exit the map after dying so your items get deleted, grinding items back will be less soul crushing than starting from scratch every time while still being punishing.

>>14559688

Anything that actually works would be nice. I've been thinking of setting up a long platform with teleporters on each end and then just warping back and forth. It worked for Plantera (when nothing else would).

>>14559714

If you don't care about cheese just set up an invincibility machine (look it up and you'll see what I mean) and get some minions that deal good damage and stack as many summon buffs as you can.

Or you can do what you recomended and build a minecart track or the UFO mount which helps. If you need breathing room and movility try farming for the Rod of disagreement. And as always make sure you have plenty of potion and overall buffs.

That or you can just ignore Mothron altogether once you beat it once and never do the solar event again since there's no real good loot once you kill the cultist.

>>14559782

>the UFO mount which helps

>Rod of disagreement

I kind of need to be able to do this when Mothron first starts showing up, not at the end of the game. How do I beat this fucker with pre-Plantera gear?

>invincibility machine

Okay that's a little too cheesy. Who knows if any of these even still work in the latest patch.

>>14559782

>invincibility machine

I think those got patched.

>>14559801

>too cheesy

Fair enough.

>How do I beat this fucker with pre-Plantera gear?

Build a bunker and wait for mothron to spawn. Then warp out with the rod and run like hell while you deal dps. Honestly mothron is incredibly fucking aggressive. Probably more so than any other vanilla enemy in the game. So focus on tanking maybe. And there's still good mounts. If you're desperate you can build a sky bridge and take the unicorn mount on it. Fuckers fast and jumps high. After that it really depends on your build.

>>14559822

It takes advantage of I frames in animations so it works for me, but I run a pirated copy from last October so it's probably outdated.

Huh, it occurs to me that I've never actually found a Rod of disagreement despite killing loads of chaos elementals.

>>14559841

Dis.cord

>>14559828

Unicorn sounds pretty lame when I'm already making asphalt runways. You did give me another idea though. I wonder if Frog Legs can give me that extra bit of vertical speed enough to survive.

Server?

>>14559801

>>14559850

I haven't fought Mothron for a long time, but I recommend the cthulhu shield because the quick turnaround and agility is essential for dodging shit, since the tabi is post-plantera. My go-to way of cheesing everything was a railway in the sky, have you tried that?

>>14554884

Why doesn't he just eat the big fish

>>14564962

Of course I've got a Shield of Cthulu on, that's possibly the single most important accessory in all of Expert mode. Never tried a sky rail, that usually takes too much effort to build for I map I'll have to scrap eventually. Is just a long flat rail good enough? Placing diagonal rail is a pain in the ass.

>>14565348

Illegal, it's a protected species.

They are often called Jewfish.

I haven't played in a while and i was thinking of doing another run. Which world size is preferable? I was thinking large for more chests/resources but i don't remember if it's gonna take much longer to progress with all the travelling and digging required.

>>14565399

Sky rails are a lot easier and quicker to build than a block platform, you can produce fucktons of rails easily and hold the mouse while riding it to place hundreds a minute. It's also ideal for traveling before hardmode. Don't forget the builder potion.

I usually do a flat rail, easier to build.

>>14565427

The problem I envision with a sky rail for Mothron is the long acceleration time needed to actually outrun it. I feel like my asphalt highway (use a Shield to instamax speed) is a better solution, but that still wasn't good enough.

>>14565432

You have the mechanical minecart, right? It's 102mph, a lot faster than any running speed. 4 seconds for top speed.

>>14565450

Yes but it still needs some time to accelerate. Mothron runs at you with very quick acceleration.

>>14565482

You die that fast? Use the cross necklace, I dunno.

Would anyone be interested in me hosting a server?

>>14565607

Why don't you hold off on Mothron till you've done a few other events? You should really be focusing on buffing yourself for the alien encounter so you can get the UFO mount which is pretty much endgame tier stuff.

Actually I wonder if it would be fun to do an expert run where you don't use flying items or hookshot.

>>14567984

Because Mothron shows up long before them?

>>14568070

He's asking for help so obviously I'm going to give him the best chance of not dying.

>>14570405

Sure if you summon the event or get unlucky. I mean surviving during the event occurring isn't that hard. If you end up fighting Mothron just have a teleport ready that you can switch between so he can't get you. .

>>14570571

I'm willing to host but is there really noone interested in playing on a server outside of us two?

Also progress or build, modded or vanilla, expert or easy, soft core medium core or hard core?

Is there something that causes you to have unlimited mana? I was running around with the space gun having unlimited shots, made a couple bosses really fucking easy because of all the penetrating damage.

>>14576879

>space gun having unlimited shots

It's the bonus from wearing full set of meteor armor.

I've banned myself from using that since it's so OP.

>>14576886

oh fuck. I might have to go back to it.

>>14568433

Btw this is confirmed not to just be an update of the Star Cannon but in fact is a second Star Cannon.

>>14571936

I'm interested too

>progress or build

A bit of both.

>modded or vanilla

Whichever suits you, I'd prefer modded.

>expert or easy

Expert.

>soft core medium core or hard core?

Medium core

>>14578088

fuck off namefag

>>14554468

What are some good well made/semi balanced mods? To give you an idea of what I'm looking for…

I like thorium a whole lot for sticking to the aesthetic and adding some neat shit that feels somewhat natural.

Tremor makes me roll my fucking eyes with how unimaginative some of the gear and weapons are.

>>14565348

>>14554884

>>14565404

I would spear that cocksucking fish so fast.

>>14554593

I haven't played Terraria in a while. I want to mix things up with mods that either add more content or gameplay mechanics, but I'm very ignorant of anything mod-wise with Terraria. What mods should I look at?

I'm going to try expert again but with a softcore character because fuck these damage sponge mobs, anything I should keep in mind?

>>14580397

Thorium's nice. Calamity's good if you can handle a more combat oriented mod, it's also a bit power creepy.

>>14580496

>Thorium's nice. Calamity's good if you can handle a more combat oriented mod, it's also a bit power creepy.

Can you use both?

>>14580635

Yes but be prepared to use nothing from thorium because everything in the calamity mod is 100% better post moonlord

>>14554468

I had to watch that video like 10 times to be sure no terrain was being destroyed. Would be cooler though if it did have terrain destruction

>>14580808

>Would be cooler though if it did have terrain destruction

Well there's the possibility that it will if used with Rockets 2 or 4.

>>14580741

How do you know? Have you tried it?

>>14580770

Good, that game looks like dog shit.

>>14580870

Going from the clip it looked more like a magic weapon.

>>14565404

Why not just kill them and stuff them under a rock, then? Who would know?

If a species needs to be protected, it probably deserves to be extinct anyhow.

>>14581111

Maybe naturally, but in this case the reason it needs to be protected was overfishing.

>>14581123

If they wanted to not go extinct from overfishing they would have stopped being delicious

Checkmate atheists

>>14581140

And what are you going to do when you run out of animals to eat?

I dropped this game once I discovered how frustrating it was to make a nice house. Every time I tried to place a wall the pieces kept overlapping and it looked like absolute shit. Dropped

Any tips for post-Plantera Dungeon? Got my face torn off by a Bone Lee in seconds on my latest playthrough. Does it make more sense to upgrade in the Dungeon or take on the Golem first? Or maybe try to summon the pumpkin moon or frost moon?

>>14589340

Take on Golem first, it's way easier. If you're running a melee character then farm him until you obtain enough beetle husks so you can make beetle armor (18 beetle husks + set of Turtle armor).

>>14580883

How do you know I haven't?

>>14580722

Are there any mods that are good all the way through the game and not entirely, completely backloaded?

>>14592417

Doesn't killing the Golem initiate the endgame sequence right after though? Can't I return to the dungeon without triggering it?

>>14593660

Just run past the cultists, dont kill any of them.

>>14593667

And turn your summons off or any damage dealing mounts as you go past.

>>14599012

I've been wondering.

What's the better alternative?

That "watermark" under it is retarded when you download shit from it to read in a proper reader app.

>>14615345

Grinding?

Nigga the biggest complaint here is how ungrindy the game is.

Whenever there is a server the biggest compaint it people going too fast through all the content, leaving newcommers completely out of it.

If the game was actually grindy none of this would be a problem.

I think you're just bad at the game.

>>14615359

>how ungrindy the game is

>going too fast through all the content

That's the point, hardmode content IS farming and grinding. What you're describing is public servers where people just share high level items with newcomers, allowing them to skip most of the game, which is completely missing the point. If you're gonna play like that then you might as well use an item editor.

>>14615374

>not remembering the times during pre hardmode terraria where molten was the best armor and certain sites would sell "legitimately obtained" items for up to $4.99 US ea

>>14615386

that's cool, I'd appreciate an argument instead of "no u" anecdotes

>>14615388

That's abusively retarded considering this is a client-side where it's trivial to hack in items or download characters packed with the best gear.

>>14615397

>this is a client-side

*this is a client-side game

>>14615397

>that's cool, I'd appreciate an argument instead of "no u" anecdotes

I'm just saying, anon. You don't have to get mad about it.

>>14615427

You don't have to hop around with words if you have nothing to say and want to hinder discussion you don't like.

>>14615434

I'm not trying to stop you from what you want to say. I just don't really get what the problem is. You seemed to enjoy the game in the past, but now, for some reason, you don't. Not everything pre-Hardmode was achieved via digging and spelunking, and not everything in Hardmode is acquired through farming and grinding. In fact, Hardmode follows a similar progression to the pre-Hardmode ores.

Hear me out, anon. You grinded the underground, you grinded the Corruption/Crimson, you grinded the Jungle, you grinded the Dungeon, you grinded Hell. You grinded these areas BEFORE WoF, but for some reason it's not fun afterwards?? I just don't understand you, anon.

>>14615786

Yes anon, pre-hardmode is more organic as you're discovering new areas and finding loot from chests while you search for ores, while in hardmode you jump down your hellevator and blaze through the underground to get the new ores, which is the shortest part of hardmode anyway. My point is not only that it's farmy/grindy, but that hardmode offers no new areas, save for the temple which is devoid of loot and is just a trap-filled boss corridor. It's padding, a cheap extension to the game consisting of revisiting all the areas you already explored to farm enemies. The dev couldn't be bothered to add meaningful progression with all the updates they did and that disappoints me.

>>14615388

>we start a new server but he keeps asking me to bring molten armors from my other character because of how strong it is

>a couple of days later "jeez anon this game is so boring"

YEAH NIGGER MAYBE IF YOU DIDNT INSIST ON SKIPPING CONTENT..

>>14615345

Hardcore anon here, think you make a pretty good point. If hardmode was like "okay break these altar" and then "okay now go to the jungle" and then "okay see what's happening at the dungeon it'd be one thing. But what actually happens is I spend hours preparing for each boss grinding out the equipment I need. Maybe that's what I get for playing Expert though.

-Queen Bee progression is fucked (too difficult to access and fight when its stuff would be useful; waste of time to bother with when the fight is more manageable).

-Meteor armor is too good.

-Fossil Armor isn't good enough and is far too much work to assemble.

Wish the devs would rebalance this stuff.

>>14617545

>Maybe that's what I get for playing Expert though

Yep. It's something that's bound to happen when you make everything have twice as much health. You could grind for the Shadowflame Knife though. It got dropped by the goblin summoner in my first expert run and I killed all three Mechanical Bosses in my first go with Palladium armor.

>>14617568

>Queen Bee progression is fucked

I've always thought that the real reward for killing it is the Witch Doctor. He's the most expedient way to get wings.

>Meteor armor is too good

There should be more viable alternatives pre-hardmode. The Molten Armor is pretty cool but it doesn't really top Meteor with its bonus. More summons should also be available pre-hardmode.

>>14554593

That's a ghost leviathan, same head/face and glowing inner parts. Start at 2:37 of the vid to see it.

>>14617568

>>14617659

>Queen Bee progression is fucked

The Bees Knees is one of my banned items because it's too powerful. Bee gun is also alright, not to mention the summon item is likely your first.

You can quite easily beat it before skeletron or hell.

>>14617720

I generally try to have around 80% of a screen cleared so I can run circles around it. I typically use the chlorophyte partisan since it penetrates quite easily.

If it hits 0 depth it flips out. So just don't bring it to the surface.

As for strats, just make a screen wide arena and circle it. Ezpz with top tier gear and a spear/gun

>>14615388

Remember when that shit was

GLOW IN THE DARK

It was cool as fuck.

>>14617568

Queen Bee gear is effective against every pre-hardmode boss, especially the Eater of Worlds which gets torn apart quickly, the WoF and Brain of Cthulhu which gets its mass of minions decimated, and Skeletron too. You also get a useful summon before hell. The bee boss itself is accessible after you fight the eye, so it's in a good place and I don't see how it's a problem. I only play on expert, but I doubt the bee weapons are that much worse on normal mode.

>>14617659

>>14617940

Yes, the Bee's Knee's is nice. It's a bit better than Molten Bow. Bee minions are pretty useless. Regular poison isn't really that great and they do garbage damage. Bee Armor would be useful for summoning a bunch of Imps, in some scenario where you want to sit back and let your minions grind out an enemy drop for you (more common in hardmode, but you get spider armor then; grinding out a Nazar in the pre-hardmode Dungeon is the only use I've found). Bee Gun is too weak for the Wall of Flesh even with a hive pack. Bee blade is decent compared to other melee weapons in pre-hardmode–which aren't very decent and constitute a dangerous playstyle at that point in the game. I'd still rather be using a Falcon Blade or Dark Lance.

The problem is that the Queen Bee (and the underground jungle) is so dangerous that it's usually not a good idea to fight it until just before you're gonna fight the Wall of Flesh. And by then, what's the point? Beenades are one of the best weapons you can face down the Wall of Flesh with, however a Demon Scythe is only slightly worse and requires less effort to get. Everything else the Queen Bee drops is useful for bosses and enemies before you would have fought the Queen Bee.

I only play on Expert as well. I usually don't feel comfortable taking on the Queen Bee until I've gotten some gear from the underworld–at which point I don't see any reason to fight the Queen Bee. Maybe it's more balanced on Normal?

>>14617788

>>14617992

I've tried the whole outrun-Plantera-with-a-wide-space strategy and it's repeatedly failed me. It's just a little too fast and too big to avoid with that tactic. And if you try to make your arena too big you end up excavating a non-jungle cavity in the center of it, within which Plantera will happily speed up and eviscerate you in a second.

I've found the best strategy for Plantera is to open up a decent-size cavity and then place a couple teleporters at the end (two sets high and low for security), and then pop back and forth between them as it tries to follow you. It's incredibly cheesy but it's the only tactic I've found to work consistently for me.

Tried out that battle rod mod. It’s kind of fun. Super tough in the beginning, super OP endgame, and hard as fuck to land hits with. Also a bit buggy. The final rod kills your NPCs. I also cannot land a hit on some bosses with it. Such a hassle.

Hahaha dude, they are not even update the android version yet. Since 2016.

>>14618061

Queen Bee isn't hard, though. I don't get the difficulty you seem to face. It's one step above the eye, it's an early boss, it's early equipment and loses the point if you compare it to later stuff. It is however useful as I mentioned, even against mobs.

>Demon Scythe is only slightly worse and requires less effort to get.

Not if RNGesus doesn't bless you.

>>14618068

You don't outrun it, you circle a round it. It never enraged in my wide arena, though.

>>14618122

>It's one step above the eye, it's an early boss

Wow, please divulge your secrets for surviving the underground jungle right after the Eye. Also dodging the Queen Bee poison stings. The random spread and small size always make it too hard for me to avoid consistently. Bezoar is absolutely mandatory. Is this on Normal?

>>14618129

And you didn't feel the need to tediously remove a ton of background wall for that, so Plantera sticks to solid blocks?

>>14618139

>Is this on Normal?

No? Why would I play normal?

>use cthulhu shield

>dig out an arena, add honey and buff furniture, use potions

>preferably have full set of buffed accessories, warding is good, and preferably have good hp

>move and dash around while it shoots stingers, attack while it releases bees so they don't accumulate, dodge its charges or dash into it at the right time since you get i-frames if you shield bash

Did it easily using a yoyo and space gun.

>>14618139

>>14618143

>And you didn't feel the need to tediously remove a ton of background wall for that

I've never done that before. If you run around in an arena like that then I'm pretty sure Plantera's feet won't reach you, it was a while ago though so I don't remember.

>How many deaths?

Too many to count. Almost everything in hardmode kills you in 1-3 hits.

>>14568104

I wanted to try this so I've been doing an expert run without hookshot/wings/horseshoe/rocketboots/carpet.

It's been pretty fun until hardmode, but I'm getting a little bored. Those items aren't as necessary as you'd think, you just have to get accustomed to having fall damage and such and it rarely becomes a problem. Even with only blizzard balloon it's really starting to feel almost like any normal playthrough I've done.
