- Episode 2 of pushing terraria’s limits. This is a vanilla medium core vanilla play though on master mode. Where I try to play the game as uniquely as possible to show off the games untapped potential. Amazing terraria builds, farms and more.
13:53 the subscribe button glows red when he says subscribe yhats pretty cool
Ive never noticed that, that's really cool tbh
that doesnt happen for me because i have this weird glitch where it says subscribed and it doesnt react when he says subscribe
that means you arent subscribed
why arent you subscribed?
The biggest difference between Terrarria and Minecraft is that Minecraft is a sandbox game with survival elements, and Terraria is an RPG with sandbox elements.
Never seen a better definition
Replace rpg with adventure and you nailed it!
That's true but I still think that Terraria does a better job at more things than minecraft does
@ryumaniarail adventure and roleplaying not just 1
@ishitatiwari6056 its true, terraria has actual game design, while minecraft doesn't. People craved interesting combat around the time terraria came out because they were getting bored of minecraft. I remember it distinctly, and it's why terraria became super popular despite appealing like "2d minecraft"
An explanation for the underground bunnies
Gem critters (bunnies and squirrels) spawn when an npc is nearby. However, since it’s Halloween, costume bunnies are replacing the gem critters spawns
Why would Halloween have bunnies replace gem critters? 🤔🤔 it’s a good theory. I did get a few gem critters but there were def way more bunnies
@wildlmao during the month of October the coding of the game changes a lot like pumpkins being more accessible and different spawns of "Halloween themed" creatures and it prioritizes them. One being the costume bunnies. You will still get gem critters but not as often because the costume bunnies would take spawning priority over gem critters and regular critters. So that's why there are a bunch of bunnies spawning in the shimmer because I'm guessing you were doing that part during the month of October.
@rossGrett It does the same to slimes, and zombies too. Many of the standard simple slimes and zombies are the same NPC just with a different "NetID". This means the halloween versions overwrite any variants, meaning Slimes cannot spawn with items in them (I believe they can't but I'm not 100% sure) and the different zombie types like the arrow or torch ones cannot spawn and thus cannot drop torches.
@lotion5238 I'm pretty sure I saw some zombie torch drops when I was playing
@davemiller638 They can only drop from the torch carrying zombies. I think Long Armed zombies from expert might actually bypass the limitation because long armed zombies don't have halloween variants afaik and there is a torch carrying long armed zombie. Also interestingly the Pixie Zombie has the highest KB resist of all zombies, from 70% on normal, 73% on expert, and 76% in master mode.
Bro is gonna kill Daytime Empress with gas traps
you so right
This idea might work actually, but is gonna take too long which will despawn her once night starts
Are gonna kill the golem with her traps xd
@heciky Daytime Empress doesn't despawn at night. Technically, you don't even have to kill her during the daytime to get the daytime reward as long as you kill her damageless. This may have changed since I last played though, considering I haven't really played since before the shimmer update.
@forged_spectre1822 If you dealt the first damage to her during the day, she despawns at night. If you dealt the first damage at night, then she never despawns.
Remember not to leave pre hardmode before you get the grey zapinator and cascade, they get replaced in hardmode
is the cascade that good?
@ not really but he said in episode one he’s 100% it so he needs every item
worst case scenario you just make a spare world
And the banners for spiders, blue jellyfish and Tim, as they also get replaced
Yo genius thanks mayne 🙏
Blood moons make statues have almost NO LIMIT even if they are close to the statue
ohhhh Yo thats like huggge Tech
@wildlmao have you tried it with the mimic statue
@wildlmao but you gotta kill one enemy that the statue spawned to make a boss spawn i think
@wildlmao i learned this from terraria slime's video
Blood Moons have no direct effect on statues. What you are likely referring to is the way that penguin, goldfish, and bunny statues do not check for corrupt/vicious versions of the critters when they activate spawn. This allows ONLY those 3 statues to spawn a near infinite amount (200 npc hardlimit) because the critter they spawn is instantly turned into the corrupt/vicious version (which does not affect the statue spawning). The most efficient critter for this (highest damage) is the goldfish. A similar effect can also be created by repeatedly throwing vile/vicious powder on the statue as it spawns the critters (the powder effect needs to be lingering on the statue right whenever the critter spawns or else they can be killed by their evil versions. Another plus of this strategy is that the statues for critters are much more easily obtained. The only downside of this strategy (other than waiting for a blood moon which isn't that bad) is that it is VERY annoying to replace the enemies. If you leave the timer on all the time, then they will fill up the npc cap and Queen Bee won't spawn, but if you turn it off, Queen Bee will kill of your goldfish pretty quickly. (Also, for the record, mimics DO have more damage than unicorns, and will technically work even better)
Worth noting the shimmer bunny farm worked because halloween overwrote the normal gem bunnies with slime bunnies, which turn into normal bunnies when caught. It wouldn't've worked outside halloween.
Why does Halloween replace gemcritters with normal bunnies!!!?
@wildlmao slime costume
It'll work in December, i think, too, because the Santa hat bunnies
I feel like I'm in the middle of an unfolding of a Legendary, forever-remembered, Terraria-themed video series... Love this level of creativity and dedication!
YOOOOOoo So I found out the statue idea completely by myself but just now I found out sorbet cafe had the same idea and already showed it off
So this is me discovering and using it for the first time ig lol.
no replies? Lemme fix that >:)
@Xqew no replies to replies lemme fix that
@pinkrobot8147 no replies to replies to replies? let me fix that
@maybewastaken no replies to replies to replies to replies lemme fix that
@pinkrobot8147 no replies to replies to replies to replies to replies
It is so enjoyable to see more and more unique ways you come up with to enjoy this game even more
😢☺️😏
That’s true: in terraria, you value your character (weapons, items, etc.), but in Minecraft, you value your world (buildings, farms, etc.)
i mean, in Minecraft, the character is just a part of the world, but Terraria has the separation between character and world.
A big part of that is durability on gear. The need to invest in either gear volume or lining up world resources, like villagers and/or enchantments, to render durability irrelevant, increases the value of the world. The downside, of course, is that gear durability exists.
That said, anyone that gets deep into terraria eventually wants potions, which inherently requires a degree of world valuation (herb farms, mob farms, building ideal fishing spots). And frequently you want those potions for boss fights, where any individual will discover the immense value of a good arena.
So I do think players value the world, it’s just in a different way.
Woah, woah, woah! Who's not making gorgeous builds?!
Professional builder?!?!?!
@nomn995 I am a professional...
The average player who is focused on progression 🧘🏻🧘🏻🧘🏻
🏡🏠sipho made a p3nis house in his new video to prove my point lol
@wildlmao hahah, well some us are out here grinding those fancy builds
me
all my houses are either boxes or skyscrapers
when i notice you playing on medium-core i immediately thought of that "why cant you be normal" meme lol
13:18 "I'm in the thick of it" -wild lmao Friday October 25th 2024
I was so unbelievably disappointed...
Does he like his cheese drippy bruh?
Ofc
It was the 1950s version of
I guess that’s how the story goes.
Ok so i think I understand why Bee Hives let Queen Bee be damaged by other mobs. Games use "Teams" to keep track of what's an enemy and what's a friend. Bee Hives, like other "traps", can actually damage enemies, but they use their own NPC's to do it, so those NPC's need to be on their own team. Thematically, Queen Bee is also on this team, to prevent her from being attacked by bees. However, the ENTIRE TEAM becomes universally hostile whenever a Bee Hive spawns Bees that are hostile towards an enemy. So Queen Bee can be used to fight *other bosses* using this method, as she's the only boss who is also a Bee.
queen bee vs etheria wave?
@Ircillo15 doesn't really work as she just kills the crystal
Sorbet cafe actually just did a challenge run where he only used bees, from hives, hive blocks, queen bee, or just queen bee herself
wait thats so funny actually. Imagine killing skeletron with an enraged queen bee
@ you don't have to imagine some mad lad already did it
Yeah same thing happened in Doom like 30 years ago
Goblin Tinkerer if the only NPC I truly care about making happy. The reduction in price adds up. Also put a gnome near him. Plus if he's undertones and you use the biome torches your luck will make it more likely that you'll get a good roll on wrapons or a +4 accessory(unfortunately it's a random +4 but it's still better than getting countless +1-2's)
Yoo big knowledge
Wiki says nothing about luck affecting modifier rolls. Sauce?
@RupertAndCheesewould you rather roll modifiers with good luck or bad luck?
Holy shit I didn’t know that
Bro’s a literal supervillain setting up a literal shark tank to kill queen bee
You mean trying to kill literal queen bee
0:31, the detail with the wood item instead of wood blocks LMAO 🤣
7:45 most likely due to the bee gun spawning bees
Mom said it's my turn to say this is Wild, Lmao
Im mad in love with you yardis
one time a unicorn statue spawned naturally in a mushroom cave next to my crimson and kept spawning unicorns while i was trying to make an arena
Lol literally my first time encountering a mushroom biome. I didn't understand shit about traps and pressure plates yet so I couldn't grasp what was happening at all, to me the thing seemed to keep coming out of nowhere and straight up kill me, and I went back there and died confused at least five times 😅
this has to be one of my favorite series on youtube right now, keep it up!
This series has such a lovely lets-play feel. I hope that future vid's keep this style of video. It's so chill. I love it!
11:14 he is using a horseshoe instead of fledgling wings?!?
21:16 bro did 43177 damage what the flip
14:39 blurring this was one of the worst decisions you could have made
Bro's gonna kill daytime empress by reflecting her own light using a pocket mirror💀
14:33 "i love you" *third trumpet*
The wall of flesh mimic 😂
The absolute disrespect to the entire Terraria community within the first 45 seconds of this video. They absolutely do crazy stuff with the wiring system
Comparing what people have created in the literal number 1 most purchased game of all time to Terraria is a bit disingenuous as well I feel.
yeah lol that take sucked
@bobjoe3492I think it’s less about copies sold and more about Minecraft is a sandbox game first and foremost while Terraria is a RPG game first, with sandbox elements.
@bobjoe3492ah yes because more copies sold makes it better
@junwasherelogic gates are easy in terraria as explained throughout this comment section
24:10 WHY DOES THIS LOOK LIKE A NUTELLA JAR LMAO
For the gnome thing you can just use a shadow candle which allows some entities like chaos elementals or gnomes where u need to be moving to spawn
“You’ve never heard of the three shells?” 😂 just reminded me of that
13:47 MY SINGING MONSTERS MENTIONED!!!!!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👽🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
20:18 I'm surprised I recognized the song from Night of the Consumers soundtrack. I played the game only once a few years ago.
When I started the video this wasn't exactly what I expected, not the typical video I get on my feed. I was pleasantly surprised by this almost slice of life terraria gameplay, I really enjoyed it! I always wind down before bed with some random youtube video, so I think you might become one of my comfort watches before bed
Thankss man
Just put the baby yoda in the bag, bro
why would you say something so stupid? lol
this is stupid, please, if you you dont wanna fight then just dont reply, i dont want to fight
@XXXテンタシオン baby yoda is his profile picture retard
and toss it in a river?
I love tha edits they always make me laugh❤
mediumcore? you're crazy
Thats what i thought too 😂
Mediumcore is actually funny early game, the jungle is like my Vietnam War 💀
@nAUTHORious It gets a lot less fun when you enter the Dungeon or underground jungle/crimson only to die in a stupid way and lose all hope of retrieving your demonite gear. That's even before Hardmode, where it becomes hell to retrieve your stuff unless you have multiple backup sets
16:22 XD the menacing slime
keep up the good work i love this series
20:34 DAMN I haven't heard that song in literal YEARS xD
The PvZ Garden Warfare music is amazing for the background. And as I type this I hear the music change and... I love the choices in background music. But I love your videos in general! Keep it up!
Halo reach ost WOOOOOOOO!!!
0:52 PvZ music??
Can u make tutorial how u beat the dungeon skull tuing
19:55 OMG NIGHT OF THE CONSUMERS MUSIC BANGERRRR🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yeah frrrr
dawg the gnome farm had me hooked loved this
Etho jumpscare at the beginning
I also like seeing the Queen Bee strat. I first learned about it from that one Sorbet Cafe video about cheesing all the bosses, and I was hoping you would use it for this series.
Ho ly mo ly! That gnome farm is insane!!!!
Sorbet cafe has been using statues to kill queen bee for a while. In fact he's currently doing a queen bee only challenge (in which he only deals damage by summoning queen bee)
This playthrough sounds like ethyriel would have a field day with it in terms of ideas
14:49 Kept you waitin, huh?
WHEN YOU CANT EVEN SAY
dude i just ran into a unicorn statue in a cave house and got ran through by 4 unicorns pre hardmode
The dungeon hoik was sick imo, looks professional as frick
I had to cut allllll that footage ✋😋🤌
24:22 I can't believe I just heard a fucking trove soudn effect
0:21 ergo spotted 🙏
As a proud ergo fan the fact that he was shown to represent minecraft does not surprise me at all
Egg roll???! Bro that’s ethos slab YO!
@guineapiggirl3103 of course. he is a magnificent specimen, capable of great feats of boat deployment and llama manipulation. He even COMPLETELY FINISHED that library 😁 eventually
I screamed when On a Pale Horse started playing. One of my all time favorite Halo songs.
Bro talking about Minecraft accomplishments like one dude didn't create a functioning cpu inside Terraria
theyve done that in minecraft as well. he’s saying terraria players dont focus on stuff like that nearly as much as minecraft players do. not that one is superior than the other.
21:30 💀 I'm weak as hell 😂
2:26 mushroom💔💔
addicted to this series already. . . MORE EPISODES AAAAAH
Etho jumpscare in the first 30 seconds is wild, lmao
Call me wildslab
Yo the Spelunky music goes hard!
17:30 this is a greater distance per step when considering an xy-plane. Unfortunately, the bosses are not restricted to the xy-plane. They can move however they wish, which lets them normalize your new vector. Essentially if you move like this, you are still moving in a line, and they will just move across the same diagonal as if that was the x plane, nullifying any advantages. Worse yet, your jump is put at a disadvantage because it's no longer perpendicular to your other movement, so on this new plane we've created the boss moves no slower, but your jump moves less in comparison. Hope this helps, I'm a mathematician so I knew right away this wouldn't work
7:14 Has to be one of the most diesel sounding queen bee fly by kill I've ever heard lol
my parents heard that moan you put in with the auto stack
let's say i wasn't a part of the adults' table anymore
Nooooo 😭
binged most of your newer terraria vids man you're goated
This series is incredible. It really gives the sense of diving into the game's untapped potential of deep mechanic interactions and technical builds. I'm definitely going to use some hard mode statues in my future playthroughs.
Are we just gonna ignore all the amazing builds of people that look like 3d RPG landscapes and other big custom maps built so great and even more?
nice. MSM was my childhood besides terraria. i love your sponsor
💀
Night of the consumers ost hitting
10:46 Bro made pretty patties 💀
This is very cool, I like this a lot. Also, that Queen bee mechanic is cracked
This is wild lmao
shush
say that again
"I have very little experience building stuff thats good in Terraria." **Casually building an amazing structure**
Objection: Minecraft is not all that similar to Terraria. Terraria is much closer to Valheim than it is Minecraft.
Both are clones of Star Fox 2
Thats wild lmao
Terraria's playerbase has a larger fraction of people focused on progression and gameplay goals rather than creativity. It's fundamentally how the games are built. Terraria has waaay more item and personal power curves. And you're constantly harassed by strong spawns and raids. I've always preferred building in terraria thanks to the much larger amount of decorative items.
Yours are the fist terraria videos that didnt put me to sleep, i found i play in a very unorthodox wayb😂
When the queen been is at the end of her dash I think some statue mobs could do some serious damage 🤔
Yoo very true, the box should probably be over there instead of
Lowkey, best playthrough I've ever seen of this game. It's really enjoyable watching someone spend so much effort building
Bro does not pay attention to the terraria community
this is actually such a good video, breath of fresh air for this kind of content for Terraria
It always amazes me how little people do when playing terraria. Unless Im explicitly speedrunning, i leave no event or item untouched. shell phone? yep. Ankh shield even though i dont use it often? sure. all the blood moon items and dreadnautilus drops? absolutely.
This honestly the first time I find a Terraria RUclipsr who’s even decent (let alone this amazing) at building whose entire channel isn’t building
What’s the song at 16:16?
You know its sub time when you open a terraria video and hear garden warfare menu music
This man really said "terraria has a lot of potential"...
22:11 that wall looks like latte coffee
23:34 that is spaz
Spazmaits
15:58 Yrimir is still remembered
13:00 couldnt you use a onesided hoik so the enemies get stuck on the left side of the wall which results in the statue infinetly generating more enemies?
I forgot when but he said he doesnt like using hoiks
GP did a similar thing to the ramp arena for his jumpless calamity playthrough
Lmao not mediumcoreeee. Cant u place living tree wall with the living tree wand? Would that help with the gnome farm?
they have to be naturally placed lol
That reboot kit build was awesome
hi wild
Hi chappy
@fairmaidenratno one cares champion
Gosh I wish I could build like you, everything is so cohesive and nice to look at
Alr I'm 1 minute in and I'm sure this is gonna be a good video but I am so done with people comparing minecraft to terraria.
As someone with hundreds of hours in both, the literal only things they have in common is that there are tools an blocks. Terraria is not a survival game, you do not have to do anything to stay alive, you can just stay in a house for hundreds of hours, there is no hunger system, sleep requirement, or intensified resource management.
In minecraft literally the entire game is based on farms, you need food? wheat and cow farms. You need blocks? trees or cobble gen. Need Iron? Golem farm, etc etc.
Terraria technically gives you the ability to make farms, but the vastly more efficient method of progressing is exploration and combat. It is an rpg, not a survival game. You play minecraft for the large focus on builds and automation, with a teensy bit of combat on the side, and you play terraria for the fun combat with simplistic building and tech on the side. One is a 2-D sidescroller adventure rpg, the other is a 3D endless sandbox survival game.
"simplistic building and tech"
Terraria is Turing-Complete, you know.
@ My point was that's what most people play it for. Minecraft can be used to make full computers bur you're not gonna expect most people to use it to its technical full extent. The majority of people play it for the rpg elements.
Night of the consumer music goes hard 🙌
