- Published on Feb 16, 2026
- The Bestiary was first introduced to Terraria back in May 2020. And up until just recently, I had only opened the menu a handful of times. But that all changes in today's video because I have committed to completely filling in the entire Bestiary, hope you all enjoy!

17:36 BREAKING: worm manages to no hit king slime, is captured by deranged man collecting maniac
That worm was a Chad bro knew he's safe with gungnir
man-collecting maniac
Florida ahh worm
that gold worm bit was so funny.
Ok
I was on the edge of my SEAT for that! Go little buddy!
The game gave him pity
The beastiary is terrarias version of a Pokedex, but instead of catching things, you murder them, lock them in houses, or cage them. Awesome.
i mean thats what you do in pokemon XD
@ferb4028I came here to say that lol
...So a Pokedex, then.
Nonotendo will came up with some kind of lawsuit for copying cataloging mechanic hahahahaha
@ferb4028except for 100% pokedex u have to catch all so caging them but not murdering them necessarily 🤣
The fact it's really been half a decade since the bestiary was introduced to Terraria is fucking wild to me.
there are people out there playing terraria rn that weren't alive when 1.1 came out
you could say it's
Wild lmao
@gamerek9546 🙄
@gamerek9546 Oh, you mean the guy who did nothing as his Discord buddies bullied a R-victim into making an attempt on her own life?
Bro i just wanted to make a funny joke not discover this
39:36 I love how you described farming enemies not as killing them, but as "processing" them.
He needs to keep his sanity somehow. Could you imagine the weight on his conscious.
Fun fact for anyone doing this or trying to collect all banners: there's actually an enemy Gungnir missed. Of these three enemies: Salamander, Giant Shelly, and Crawdad, only two of the three spawn in any given world. The bestiary will fill in the entry for the one your world doesn't have once you find the two you do have. It's impossible to truly kill every enemy/get every banner in one Terraria world.
You can get the missing banner by using the other twos' banners
you can craft the missing banner with the other two at a graveyard
Also Jungle mimics can't be obtained in normal worlds
Also, drunk worlds and getfixedboi will have all three enemies, so the only way to truly 100% would be to play all of getfixedboi
Or drug world
The fact that he was shiny hunting and looking for the golden strider is like investing a crime scene, then getting bored and finding another crime scene to investigate
I think it's more like investing a crime and while you wait playing something like la noire
I might not be the first person to point this out, but you can get opposite-evil seeds (corrupt seeds in a crimson world and vice-versa) by moving the dryad into a graveyard biome.
Wait, really?
@DauntlessBS Yes she will sell seeds for other evil biome during blood moon or in a graveyard biome.
@RavenGamingOverLord Dang I didn’t know that. That’s neat
He knows that and I don't know why he doesn't utilize it all the time
@FearDaZillamost likely forgets or simply reduces his suffering
42:45
Ah, "Sanguine". My favorite type of pasta.
and ofc my fav enemy, “heemogloben”
@goomb1 except "hee-mo-glo-ben" is geninely how it's pronounced in my region and i've never heard an alternate pronunciation
@nfxby117yeah no i’m almost certain that’s the correct pronunciation 😂
It is pronounced hemoglobin like how goomb1 said, but iirc the actual enemy name is hemoGOBLIN Shark, I could just be stupid though and have bad memory
@thatonewaffleperson its Hemogoblin. its a pun on Hemoglobin, a protein in red blood cells. So its Hee-moh-gah-blen
I liked that you actually went out of your way to "properly" unlock all the bestiary entires. Many people just skip say "eh fk it..." and just sorta skip the hard ones, BUT YOU EVEN GOT THE CRITTER ENTIRES THAT ARE UNLOCKED BY BASICALLY DEFAULT.
10:25 Blood Moons actually decrease Doctor Bone's spawn rate slightly, due to his spawn occasionally being replaced by the other rare Zombie variants
NO WAY GUNGNIR UPLOAD
🎉 🥳
I keep forgetting he exists lol
!!!!!
Early in the year too. Maybe we will get a 2nd by november.
Well, this would be what he was doing.
My little sister and I call our maternal grandfather Gung gung (the more accurate English approximation of the Cantonese is _gong gong,_ but I had only ever heard it spoken, so the U was already cemented in my head by the time I found that out), or just Gung for short- the dedication that you put into this video is already amazing enough, but it’s the cherry on top that I get to see the chat whenever you earn a banner and immediately picture this sweet old Chinese man proudly standing atop a pile of miscellaneous monster corpses :]
(Edited for formatting whoops)
If you're looking to tag the enemies while safe in pre-hardmode farms, the traps from the tavernkeep work great, you can just plop an explosive trap into the farm chamber and it'll pop everything at least once before it dies.
Those despawn after some time though.
@Old_Man_Miku I think you can just hold left click to keep summoning traps, so just weight your mouse and walk away.
@Old_Man_Miku Every 10 minutes you do have to check back in yeah.
@BrownsheepBFsentries cant attack for a bit after being summoned so if your repeatedly summoning them by spam clicking that wouldn't work to farm enemies
@facing_otherway1603 You right, you'd need some kind of auto clicker, set it to every 3-4 minutes.
When farming in the water why not just use the breathing reed to breathe infinitely by putting it in an air pocket? You could still be in the water this way and have no blocks around
This!
That is literally the main function of the breathing reed, the breath loss reduction is supposed to be a bonus.
I certainly only knew about it way afterwards at least, weird.
I think it was mainly for the line of sight. If he's deep under water, the only way to be close enough to an air pocket is to place blocks underwater in order to trap the air, which would unfortunetly break line of sight.
@Orion_Fritz…. put the air pocket higher up?
Exactly what I was thinking lol, in his drowning example he's purposely deeper in the water to avoid this mechanic. Bro is silly
You have to be under water for Them to aggro. Like you have to be drowning, it is specified in the wiki
Ok. But what about a minimum bestiary run? Beat moon lord while avoiding collecting as many bestiary entries as possible.
antisocial%
fire idea, it's like completing mario without coins
51:00
You only need 5 because the cultists only have flavour text, which is the first thing you unlock.
If they had drops you'd likely need more to unlock those
That gold worm was built different.
I have a world I’m working on collecting one of every item on (still going after 3-4 years, paintings suck). I had to do this grind to get the pylon, and I also need to get every banner so you and I actually did similar strategies. I feel like you could have handled farming between biomes at different times to speed things up, but you’d have to be actively at the PC for that (plus I have the luxury of going for other items like weapons while I wait for night. You didn’t have those other goals). Overall, the gold critters seemed like the biggest grind, which are critters I haven’t gone for yet (and I need 2 of all of them, one for the terrarium and one for the critter itself. I need 4 gold worms too, for the shimmer item, one to use and one to have). The seahorse strat in particular is super helpful to see
The much harder (read as "more painful") version of this challenge is researching every item in Journey mode. This makes it so you not only need every banner, but also multiple of every critter.
I tried this way back when 1.4.4 came out. It took an ungodly amount of time and effort, and I got pretty close to finishing, but ultimately never did finish (I couldn't for the life of me find a world with a Waldo painting, among some other things). Looking back, I really should've used more external resources (like TEdit to pre-search worlds for said paintings). Searching manually was a huge mistake.
as another journey mode 100%er: you can put a critter in a cage, research the caged critter (which only needs one), shimmer it, then research the normal critter
i guess you couldn’t find waldo lol
why did you have to clarify what you meant by “harder”? no one was going to misconstrue that
@caderaid441 It was to stress how difficult of a challenge it is.
@caderaid441just for emphasis/humor I guess
You do know the breathing rod moves your actual hit box for breathing, right? like you could’ve just used it to breathe with your pocket while in the right spot for aggro.
I love the Idea of catching all golden critters, because of this this challenge feels unique and cool
Check out some of the stuff wand of sparking (the youtuber) has been doing then,as they are prepping for an everything run by doing chunks of everything (sorry if that doesnt make sense my brain isnt fully awake yet)
The old main menu theme took me for a ride of sweet childhood memories and nostalgia. Thank you sir.😊
That gold worm was determined to help with the bestiary lol
bro says sanguine like its a pasta
49:40 Someone else has probably said this, but (according to the wiki; I haven't tested this in-game) the Phantasmal Dragon and Ancient Vision enemies get filled in automatically after beating the Lunatic Cultist.
i have had it happen several times in game (granted these were calamity play throughs, so take this with a grain of salt)
13:52 definitely overthinking on this one haha, the reed also has a range on the top that you can breath out of meaning you can be fully submerged and still breath.
31:16 the 4% would probably be christmas and halloween enemies
If you do this amount of work, this should reward you with universal pylon as a meta progression, next time you want to buy a pylon, the universal one should just be available. Though honestly, even then its not enough. Moonlord should be pink now, or some other silly thing, maybe you get a permanent and sizeable luck improvement for every run. Then yeah, then its considerable to go through this, but without completing every mob fully
I was thinking something like this too
Like a certain wafflechad used to say "WE ARE SO FUCKIN BACK!!!"
I know you probably won't revisit this challenge, but for the golden grasshopper, you could have used the flare gun and the boots that regrow grass. The boots will constantly try to grow the grass, while the flare continues to destroy it.
My man's kryptonite is pronouncing the names of Blood Moon related stuff.
The golden worm had me on the edge of my seat
🦴 ✖
It doesn't have bones which is a main thing in build😊
THIS is where you've been...
17:36 was actually so stress inducing. I cheered and scared my cat when it finished.
One of Terraria's best examples of quality over quantity. Keep it up dude, it's genuinely always a treat when you upload Terraria content.
13:40 you could have used the breathing rod with a air-bubble to keep breathing and keep in the water...or am I overlooking something?
exactly, i dont think he knows thats its main purpose
im sure there's a reason why he didn't do that
my only guess is to avoid his summons going into it and floating constantly inside?
Allegedly, according to another comment chain, it's because the enemy aggro checks your submersion not based on whether your body is completely under the water, but based simply on whether you're drowning.
I believe you have to be underwater/drowning for them to aggro?
4:10 introducing, old ones army aura staffs
The gold ladybug was probably over-odds because of the bonus ladybug spawns. A ladybug spawns with a bonus few ladybugs sometimes and these ladybugs dont have the chance to be gold, only the initial spawn has that chance
Reminded me of my Zapdos hunting. Yeah, it's sometimes hours to to get stuff we just want for the fun of it.
19:09, funny story: I was farming giant bats (i couldve farmed for another fast clock to shimmer into the trifold map as its more common as more enemies drop it but i didnt) for the trifold map and I came across 3-4 lost girls/nymphs.
lost girls aren't actually as rare as I thought they were. my full-afk hallow farm has almost 4 chests full of JUST metal detectors, and they were a HUGE annoyance before I upgraded my storage because of how common they actually were
You need the golden bug net. Makes golden critters spawn more often. Also, you can use a hoik trap to capture things.
7:23 shiny hunting mentioned 🗣
Dunno if anyone else suggested it, but the universal pylons could be neat as a thing to send over to future worlds that someone creates, just as QoL thing to make future playthroughs a bit smoother, I guess.
My GOD the Golden Worm bit was so funny and kinda hype
When I completed the beastiary, it wasn't the golden seahorse, or the mystic slime that took the longest. It was the jungle turtle. I never went in prehardmode, and the difficulty of getting one in hardmode is incomparable, because they instantly get slaughtered by the nightmarish number of mobs.
Finally. A challenge run where the bosses take up approximately 0.1% of the time spent.
I remember completing both Tim and Wizard by accident while my getfixedboi seed run, that was interesing to put into perspective! Also, NO WAY GUNGNIR UPLOAD
I remember getting consistently telefraged by rune wizards on my legendary getfixedboi run. Seriously, 1066 contact damage. one thousand, sixty six.
The fact that I have a longer amount of time on normal vanilla world is crazy
This is just shiny hunting in Terraria :D
I have completed the bestiary before. Curiously, the very last entry I got was the spore zombie. Every boss, golden critter, rare enemy, seasonal variant, all found before the spore zombie. I triple checked the wiki because it seemed outlandish to miss such a generic enemy, I had battle potions and water candles and everything in a mushroom biome but they just refused to spawn even a single one for about an hour.
to avoid resetting summons you could use sentries, might work? not sure tho
I love the boss music for the gold worm moment
50:00
Random surface Plantera bulb
Omg thank you, I'm doing a playthrough in which I collect all of the items in Terraria, so your guides for golden critters are amazing
Him throwing the desert key away, hurt my soul. 37:09
came here to see if anyone pointed it out
He probably had dropped a ton of them already
pretty sure i saw him have the staff later anyway so he had more of em.
@Darkcool123X some people have more luck indeed, i still remember on my first 1.4 summoner run, i was determined to get the desert tiger staff, so i farmed for a single key on the underground desert, somehow it took me 188 banners for the first key to drop, if you do the math, the chance of it dropping would be about every 50 banners (1 in 2500), but somehow it took me 188 freaking banners for one of them keys to drop
@San-lh8us I’m doing a summoner playthrough right now and I have a similar story. I decided that I wanted to farm for a frozen turtle shell (2% drop rate) since I never get one and my defense sucks. I ended up killing over 200 ice tortoises before getting one, over the course of nearly 3 hours. Along the way, I ended up getting like a dozen frost staffs (1% drop rate), 9 milkshakes (1.33% drop rate), and even a frozen key from other enemies. Also I killed like 40 ice mimics and a dozen nymphs. 2% drop rate, by the way.
that gold worm had ultra instinct
I missed u pookie u gonna stay this time 😊
Gungnir upload cant miss
We are being rewarded with this video after finals
You could have had the tip of the breathing reed be in an air pocket which makes it so that you could stay underwater indefinitely
46:17 that's actually really easy to answer , it's because he drops a trophy , not a banner. that means he counts as a boss unlike the Dreadnautilus that drops a banner.
Unfortunately, that explanation was contradicted by the Pumpkin/Frost Moon bosses that drop trophies but still required 50 kills.
@burk314 but im just ... not talking about the kill count tho
the gray zaponator chillin in the store
At 32:00 you're talking about not knowing what else you have access to. The stuff you're missing is all the seasonal stuff. Christmas, Halloween, and the Frost Legion.
also lihzahrds and flying snakes
@toebarthats hardmode tho
@KasperFrederiksen you can go in the jungle temple prehardmode and they spawn like normal
He forgot king slime too
You can shimmer corruption tiles or crimson tiles to get the opposite world evil, including bosses
I only watched the first 3 minutes, but the premise alone is insane. We're so back.
hi Jel :)
hi jel :3
jel :)
hi jel big fan
Hi jel :)
I love how i thought the sand elemental was only a calamity thing
Don't need a special seed. Just need to get the Dryad over to a graveyard biome (possibly during blood moon) and buy your opposing world-evil grass seeds. Can make any number of artificial evils that way.
Can't believe nobody else said this
Oh the tomb Crawlers I did the grind for those because I didn't know you could get the material from fossils
13:36
Did Gungnir forget the breathing reed allows you to breathe from the topmost point of it, and so would functionally allow you to sit in the water, under an air pocket, indefinitely- without needing to worry about breath or hp regen/loss?
According to comments elsewhere the water enemy aggro requires you to be drowning, so allegedly that wouldn't work.
@LepidoliteMica Not as far as I'm aware? you just need to be standing in the water for underwater enemies to start their attack AI. an air pocket with a sloped platform for a floor would also work, so you can dip your toes in but keep your head above the water.
Completed my bestiary on my 1.4 release world, took me 4 months as, not only I had to make an artificial crimson biome for tundra and desert, certain pre-hardmode skeletons (ones in costumes) were exceptionally rare especially since I was already in hardmode whose enemies are ofc in priority.
6:02 Someone been playing with the Halloween event onn.
Maybe because he started the video in Oktober
I only ever had to disable my guide to critter companionship in order to summon the empress of light.
1 minute ago is crazy XP
1 day ago is silly
Now that 1.4.5 is out completing the bestiary is now needed to get an achievement for 100%
as someone who loses my mind over dyes in like every single damn playthrough for some reason, i sat here laughing evilly as bro realizedd just how stupid it is to get a sea snail banner
also speaking of the ocean, i started a new slow paced playthrough the other day and the first seahorse i even saw in that world was the first golden one i've Ever seen in the like 8 years i've played PC terraria
thanks for reminding me that 2020 was 5 years ago.
Completely irrelevant to the video, but i watched this without headphones and my birds really like your voice :]
That is such a cute comment ^^
Gungir: kept you waiting huh?
Zoologist: yeah...
you should 100% all yakuza games next
I second this
i fourth this
I did this grind in journey because I wanted every banner and the two things that almost killed me were the nymph and the gold water strider banners
1:36 m-m-massive😨😨
It's crazy how it's still MASSIVE
awesome vid!!!!!!! love the dedication to the TRUE 100%!!!
1:55 minutes in and bro did not kill the dungeon guardian 👁👁. Or does it not matter in the bestiary?
I think the Dungeon Guardian is regarded as Skeletron
@JackKrebs-tm6jk , well, they both are separate entries in the beastiary as it can be seen later in the video, so I do no know.
@Quixidion True
@Quixidion Although, I think they both count for 1 kill in the bestiary. Kinda like how Anakin is Vader, and Vader is Anakin. They would both be booked because they are the same, just different entry numbers
@JackKrebs-tm6jk , yeah, makes sense. Otherwise Gungnir would mention that or would explicitly sshow, how he defeated the guardian.
1:40 MASSIVE you say? You know what else is massive😊? The looooooooooooooooow taaaper faaade
the moment i heard him say that i looked through the comments for this exactly XD
why is a low taper fade massive?
You could've used flower boots for the grasshopper, just remember to unequip them before breaking the grass
1:40 you know what else is massive
MY MOM!
Low taper fade🗣🔥🔥🔥
8:40 bro is shiny hunting in 2 different games at the same time
Now do it in calamity
It's videos like these that makes me hope and wonder at the possible in depth glory and possibilities of terraria 2.
Now do it with calamity 52:47
I was excitied to see you try to defeat the dungeon guardian pre hardmode without many options for cheese gear however the entry is automatically completed upon defeat of skeletron.
Did you die at 27:46 or something?!?!?!
he censored a word with a zombie noise lmao
@beastkasim3054it's actually a chester sound
Welcome back, Gungnir
7:10 For the wall&summon issue: if you make a safe box above the farm and hammer a vertical stack if plaftorms so that the stairs are facing you and up against the walls, your minions will be able to go through the solid wall. You'd need to stand next to or slightly inside the stairs and face away from the wall (summons idle position is behind the character). I've done this so many times, as long as enemies don't shoot projectiles, or themselves, through blocks you can completely afk.
I'm pretty sure is a form of non-movement hoiking.
The dedication is crazy. I couldn’t bring myself to even doing this
now do it in calamity
Thanks for making such a great video, I can tell how much time and effort went into it!!! Amazing
Some statues spawn critters, you can’t catch them but the kills count for the beastiary
This has to be some kind of ancient chinese torture
