  • Part 37 of our series investigating your myths and questions about Terraria: Journey's End. Thank you for the overwhelming amount of myths and creative ideas, we couldn't do this series without you. This episode is dedicated to shimmer, the new liquid that arrived with Terraria 1.4.4. (the shimmer special, if you will). It's by far the coolest part of the update, and also extremely broken in many, many ways...

    For a ranger build (or starwrath, technically) it might actually be a good idea to make an arena with a thin floor of shimmer at the bottom. Missed bullets traveling downwards can get another chance

    As a note about not having the Portal Gun after the Moon Lord fight: Since you get the drops at the end, you can open the bag (which was shown to be possible) and move it to your hotbar. So the strategy should actually work even without having previously killed Moon Lord on that character, because you get the Portal Gun as a drop anyway lol

      It's not a bug, its a feature of the new upside down seed, which is included in the everything seed. The upside down seed reverses the progression points of some items, such as the key blade being sold by the traveling merchant with nerfed stats and the katana being dropped by dungeon enemies with buffed stats. I think the wand of sparking is swapped with the magic dagger that drops from mimics. So wand of sparking is buffed, but it also only drops from hardmode mimics now.

    in regards to shimmering into the jungle temple, my friend did that in our 1.4.4 co-op world with two other friends. friend 1 spent 30g on a painting from the travelling merchant and friend 2 thinks the painting is ugly, so friend 1 and I had some fun placing it in hidden places. while F1 was busy keeping F2 occupied, i put down a wall of them in our Twins arena, and placed a few underground via teleportation potion. only much later, when friend 3 logged on, did we find out that he shimmered into the temple *specifically* to spam the painting all over every surface he could. what a legend.
    in hindsight, i should have realized he was doing that sooner- he asked me where F2 couldn't see if i had any extra paintings, he was musing to himself in VC over how Shimmer acted when you moved it from the pool by removing blocks under it, and he got a Lizhard banner and said "they spawn outside the front door sometimes". that was a clever response, quickly enough i didn't think anything of it. the reaction from Friend 2 and 3 was priceless.

    While in shimmer, and outside the underworld with The Tongue debuff, you still have the "Shimmering" effect. Does it protect you from being licked (I.E. WoF reaches end of map), and from teleporting out if the destination is covered in shimmer? Hopefully TEdit updates so you can test that first part out.
