My only thought for the destroyer randomly losing a bunch of its health just after spawning in is that a falling star must have hit its spawn point, cleaving through most of its segments for tens of thousands of damage.
@@unmensch178 it ticked down to that amount in about 5 frames with different drops each frame...lemme pull up... 120000 -> 110840 (-9160) ->92345 (-18495) -> 88395 (-3950)
Really appreciate the transparency you have when talking about spawning stuff in. I'd much rather you enjoy exploring the potential strategies behind beating a gamemode like this than grueling over pointless time wastes. Great video! Glad to see this concept make a comeback :D
Then you remember he has no way of bursting down the detached probes with only the dart rifle, which makes cursed darts actually not a really good idea in this run against the destroyer. The lack of accessory optimization is really screwing him up badly.
Looking at the list, both Orichalcum Bars and the Orichalcum Anvil are allowed, in addition to the Fiberglass Fishing Pole or Mechanic's Rod. You have limited bait from the cans of worms in the world, but this can work. You can get Orichalcum Bars from Mythril Crates, Defiled Crates, Azure Crates, and Stockade Crates. Due to the rule for how crafting works with half of the materials needing to be legal, you should be able to purchase the illegal Anvil and merge it with the legal Orichalcum Bars at the legal Hellforge for the Orichalcum Anvil. It is unlikely you will be able to get crate potions so this is a stretch, but still possible.
i definitely want to see the rest of this, and the situation you got due to the bans got me thinking of if the opposite: "terraria but i can only use crafted accessories and weapons" would be a nice challenge
Depending on your luck with surface chests, you could very well have a chance at an orichalcum anvil. Use Can of Worms to get worms, buy the mechanic's rod, and focus on fishing quests and getting mythril crates you can open to try and go bait positive while looking to scrounge up enough orichalcum bars to make an anvil. I would say only use bait to do fishing quests for a while, until you're confident you can avoid running out of bait or get the golden bug net. You also had some options for mounts. Not a lot of them, but ancient horn and scaly truffle are allowed.
I can't believe your luck of finding 20 mech skulls in a chest. For being unlucky with the Thanos luck, at least you got something that made life a little bit easier.
glad this series is back^^ what if you "reroll" the spreadsheet after mech bosses, after golem, etc. so that way you dont suffer that much with the grind
it would be very cool to see this run make it all the way to completion, nothing but respect for you for making it this far with this insane restriction
since you're struggling to heal with the nurse quickly, here's a tip: if you turn on autopause and pause right after magic mirror-ing, you can click straight on tothe nurse and heal without worrying about her moving or you being attacked (may or may not have used this myself to beat supreme calamitas the first time i played calamity)
i have a cool idea on how you could do this: find a mod that displays Item ID's next to item names, and dont use any even numbered ones. also you should use auto pause for the nurse cheese, it helps alot ur content is radical, good job.
I was wondering if part 2 of this challenge would ever come out haha, since you started a different challenge in between episodes for the Thanos run lol. Glad to see part 2 of this, I like the premise of the challenge here
watching you fight skeletron prime made me hate the shield of cthulu's damaging thing even more than I already did. the amount of times i died after bouncing back off of something...
I think getting enough of the corruption/ hallowed biome blocks, even just seeds for grass, could help with making mimics show up in hell. They can spawn on the hell bridge off screen and be easy to aggro with the gun. And if you can, Actuating the blocks can make them less obstructive but still make the biome type change.
I'm a newer arrival to the channel but I've loved every moment of all the videos I've watched so far! Plus it's nice to see another person with such impeccable music taste who actually lists it all out in the description. That's greatly appreciated!
I used the dart rifle with cursed darts against destroyer and it is actually pretty good because of the flames that fall of the darts you just have to shoot above it
I love your channel. One of my favorite games of all time are Terraria. I was so excited when I saw you were also posting Stardew Valley videos, because I had just finished my second playthrough.
He doesn't even look if it can use the chests itself. IMO if the corruption chest got banned, he couldn't even open it, same with golden, wooden, living, shadow, etcetera.
Good god this run looks brutal. That second to last Destroyer fight was beautiful. Also, I loved the fireball sounds for the Flower of Fire, very cute. One last thing, what's the seed? I have yet to find 20 Skeletron Prime spawners in a chest before. Sounds like something that'd only happen in a Dream. (ok fine wrong run for the joke)
I respect the decision to just pretend the scale mail never left. No ifs or buts :) Edit: Not trying to be sarcastic here, I genuinely think that's a fine choice
@@beachchaos1863 I was not trying to be sarcastic - I think I probably should add that to the previous comment, sorry o..o; (It's the internet, I should remember to specify)
the cursed drops from cursed darts are really good for destroyer, so it can be better to shoot away from the boss so each dart spawns as many drops as possible
I went on the mod browser after the first video and found a mod that basically replicates the effect if this challenge. (Except accessories which still worked, but thats likely a bug) i played through the entire game and beat MoonLord with the same restrictions! I will admit, i used the Dart Rifle with cursed darts to beat the mechanical trio, plantera, AND golem. I now have a new appreciation for the Dart Rifle.
bruh you upload so infrequently i watch the first in a series and forget about the next ones until you upload. LIKE TODAY! this was a good one im excited to see it
I like to cheese the Destroyer by building a sky bridge up really high and shooting from gaps in the bridge. The Destroyer can’t fly, so only the probes can reach you up there.
Still think you should do a pure no crafting at all run. Did it with friends a while back really cool also forces you to get creative with armor like the tavernkeep stuff.
Wow, good thing you kept that piece of Shadow Armour and didn't sell it! It would've sucked if you did! On a more serious note, oh my god the luck with the Corruption Key.
Just a tip for the future with the Daedalus storm bow. Hellfire arrows work really well for damage, the explosion is good for famageing the destroyer and removing the drones quickly
here question is are they available or not can't be crafted can be bought from demolitionist but even if can be, it might not matter and checking on the list, they're banned, so too bad
I looked through all the arrows and basically all we have are flaming arrows. The only other option would be shimmer arrows, but not sure if those would really work well with the stormbow. I actually forgot about them though, maybe I'll try them out.
@@WandofSparking they're weird but I think they have rather fair damage? most shimmer stuff is certainly something that not many people try out also I think only a few arrow types turn into it yea only wooden and hellfire arrows
I'm doing my own playthrough of this challenge, I copied the spreadsheet, and I found you accidentally put musket on twice under the important items category.
3:43 actually it appears he got hit by a star? (multiple of them/multiple times from same one? 120000 -> 110840 (-9160) ->92345 (-18495) -> 88395 (-3950)) altho dunno how accurate this would be, iirc piercing projectiles have damage reduced when hitting same enemy multiple times...or...is that a modded thing specifically? I'm lost in this by now
1:44 at least in my opinion, yes, I am here for the creative challenge and delightful presentation, not the unabashed suffering. Please feel free to take minor shortcuts, especially when you already did the work.
Technically, if you can't craft Summons, and only use natural spawns, you wouldn't have been able to farm him.for.hallowed ore (i understand tho if you bypass some rule for the sake of saving Time)
pretty sure chairs don't speed up time, only beds do that they do enable the "rest" mode where so long as you're not moving/attacking you regen even faster than just standing still
I will never stop being appreciative that all the music is linked in the description, even with timestamps and everything. What a chad
I hate when people don't credit the music. I WANT TO LISTEN TO THE DAMN MUSIC!

My only thought for the destroyer randomly losing a bunch of its health just after spawning in is that a falling star must have hit its spawn point, cleaving through most of its segments for tens of thousands of damage.

@@jadenwilliams4807 If you did, we'd have some minor issues
7:29 Putting that in shows the feel of spiraling into madness while not getting anywhere.
I can feel the thought process going through him in that moment.
15:16 "the dart rifle doesn't pierce"
but the falling flames from the cursed darts do and thats where most of the damage comes in anyway
not only that, the dart rifle with cursed darts is one of the single best options for the destroyer.

fishing might not even be necessary because he might be able to shimmer hallowed bars down the bar/ore tree into orichalcum
@@connortg5 you can't shimmer hallowed bars into anything, since decrafting a bar gives the ore, and there is no such thing as hallowed ore

Would be pretty easy actually- oh wait… hallowed ore….
Without anvils runs get super cursed, and this one is no exception. It's oddly funny to see the copper pickaxe in hardmode lol

When the destroyer wants to be on classic mode despite the world saying expert.
it seems like all your luck in these playthroughs is used up from finding stacks of highly convenient items laying in chests
My favorite ranged crowd control combo on Master Mode: the Dart Rifle with Cursed Flame Darts. Good ol' Napalm my beloved.
Another excellent addition, WoS! Would love to see both of those worlds completed--or taken as far as feasibly possible! :D

surprised he hasnt killed the eye before a fight and left its drops for a heal during a later boss - always helps me
The spawner is banned
I used the dart rifle with cursed darts against destroyer and it is actually pretty good because of the flames that fall of the darts you just have to shoot above it
All of those Shield of Cthulu hits were absolutely criminal
That second one was pretty wild lol, first one is at least kinda close.
at 3:44 i’m pretty sure a falling star hit the destroyer where it spawned, hitting every segment for a bunch of damage!
When part 3 I just found this channel and you have such awesome uploads and great challenge ideas that just go unfinished!! Please finish this!

small idea for a playthrough, terraria but the world is a circle, like it can be a 200x200 circle
"Did you find the easter egg in the thumbnail?"
I really hope the "easter egg" is just thanos prime and hes trolling us description readers
it’s a hidden obama
I like to cheese the Destroyer by building a sky bridge up really high and shooting from gaps in the bridge. The Destroyer can’t fly, so only the probes can reach you up there.
Still loving the Diababa battle music for the Twins :)
How is every playthrough so good... Please do finish this one If you can I'm really enjoying it
incredible episode thanks for the dedication would love to see another one!
Still think you should do a pure no crafting at all run. Did it with friends a while back really cool also forces you to get creative with armor like the tavernkeep stuff.
Your channel is great cuz sometimes i really dont want to listen to commentary and i love terraria please keep doing what youre doing
I forgot just how TERRIBLE the luck on this challenge was
3:58 I swear dude, I’ve spawned the twins and only ret came, it was WEIRD
It’s been a while since I’ve done the math but it may be better to fire cursed darts straight up so the secondary projectiles can get a ton of hits
Wow, good thing you kept that piece of Shadow Armour and didn't sell it! It would've sucked if you did! On a more serious note, oh my god the luck with the Corruption Key.
Honestly, I spent so long down there, I would have been a bit surprised if I didn't find a key lol.
shouldve aimed more upwards with the cursed darts, the flames it drop can do a ton of damage if stacked properly
One really fun challenge I've done is a no crafting challenge on legendary mode, I made it to hardmode and then gave up on the bosses it's so hard
you wasted the potential of cursed flame darts
I don’t know if you’re gonna do mythbusters soon but I have a myth. Myth: EoC elevator could work with no immunity frames.

Good content as always. I'd like to see the rest of the series
Where did you get Stephen F's resource pack? I want to try a run like this, and having the "X" over items would help significantly! :D
He made it for me specifically for this run, so it's only tuned to the spreadsheet I originally made.
Is the armor that you get from the tavern keep baned? It would be good substitute for beetle armor
What a convenient stack of 20 Shawnee’s glad you found that

Youre a legend. Please dont stop doing that.
I fully approve of your use of *magic* and *coincidence*, and I hope you don't listen to people if they claim it's cheating
Can’t wait to see the finale!
Have you tried aiming up with the dart rifle?
The dart rifle could've actually been super useful against destroyer, if you just shoot it straight up the cursed darts drop a bunch of projectiles
if the picksaw is a problem, you can use a laser drill instead.

Absolutely serious question: What would happen if Wand of Sparkling was banned? Would you be banned from the playthrough?
your boss arena at base has way too many layers, hinders your downwards mobility a lot and makes monster spawn more often
