    Since you died 745 times and each death equals 15 seconds waiting to respawn, that means in total you spent 3 hours 7 minutes and 45 seconds staring at the death screen on this playthrough alone.

    • @ericridgeway2846
      @ericridgeway2846 2 years ago +112

      And during boss fights it's 30 seconds so it's actually even longer

    • @ayhemghait5354
      @ayhemghait5354 2 years ago +263

      @ericridgeway2846 it's only longer if you are playing multiplayer in a boss fight if I am not mistaken

      the respawn timer should be faster

    • @MonomaDNW

      Yeah i’m not too sure why they make it longer if you play in Expert or Master Mode

    • @MonomaDNW
      @MonomaDNW 2 years ago +35

      @ericridgeway2846 it’s only longer in multiplayer actually, if you’re in single player it’s still 15

    Y'know, I was going to say something to the effect of "you probably should've swapped to red riding armor after golem", but it occurred to me that Old One's Army would be absolutely _hellish_ with 1 HP.

      @moonstruck6591 2 years ago +37

      @ricardomilos-z6h I don't believe so. I used that last playthrough of mine, so unless they patched it within the month, it should be fine .

    I remember when Gungnir was just a wee lad. I was on vacation and my family came across a lost little Gungbert at Disney World. He had been separated from his family. We took him in and walked around the park in search of his family, but they were nowhere to be found! Finally, after hours of searching (and a quick break to film a quick terraria challenge) Gunther's family found us by Splash Mountain. It was such a relief to see Gunanir return to his family! Please remember how important it is to keep your terraria youtubers close at all times, they might just get lost!

    *Those Celestial Pillar cheeses are glorious*
    Also another way to cheese the Vortex Pillar it's just make a hole in the ground, block the top, and make a tiny hole up where you're, Vortex enemies can't go through blocks so you can shoot through blocks or with hoiks.

    Now that you've finished a 1hp run, It would be interesting to see if you can do a no-dodge run. A run where you have to build for defense or Regen in order to survive. It would be cool if that were possible!

    • @yakobsoulstorm5187
      @yakobsoulstorm5187 2 years ago +82

      He did do videos on both tankiness and regen stacking. Suffice to say, stacking either of those two is definitely not a challenge run; Gungnir facetanked the Moon Lord's deathray in both runs, with regen buffs making him nigh unkillable.

    • @splitzyprime419

    According to the wiki, Golem only enrages if you fight him outside of the underground jungle. So if you wanted, you could dig out a nice big arena under the temple, then teleport out. I'm not sure if he would follow you though

  • @Penrosian

It made the fight much easier even enraged, tho we had some other arena tricks that helped us not just an outside arena

      @pyxelgamer true, Supreme Calamitas is just memorizing attack patterns and practicing the bullet hell
      Yharon just feels absolutely unpredictable

    Im doing a mastermode playthrough, and the clinger staff is pretty good at killing event enemies if you can get them to stay right above/below you. The nimbus rod also helps.

    your words at the end really reminded me of how i felt after i beat death mode SCal back in december 2020, like did you know SCals attacks actually follow a set pattern (or atleast did)? same attacks in the same order every time.

    Damn this makes me want to play terraria again, but the last time I played, beating all of the mechs was beating the game

    Watching this, it’d be nice to have an ammo version of Zenith. Mixing 9999 of each same ammo type and it’s like the regular ammo pouch but you can access another window to switch ammo. Just for convenience, but you still have to farm for it including the opposite evil biome type.
