Beating Terraria ZENITH SEED, MEDIUMCORE For The FIRST TIME! (PT. 1/2: PREHARDMODE!)
Embed
- Published on Feb 17, 2026
- Today, we finally take on the fabled ZENITH SEED, not only in Legendary Mode, but also in mediumcore, as per Red's request. Prehardmode has been an existential nightmare beyond belief, never in my life have I been more frustrated at a pixel themed videogame, and words can not describe the treachery that this seed holds. We take on the entirety of prehardmode, showing every step taken along the way that showed any progression in this extraordinarily difficult seed, taking on Terraria's absolute most DIFFICULT bosses in the process. Thank you all so, so much for watching! I hope you all enjoyed the video!

Part 2 is in progress, Mechdusa is beating me to death with a crowbar as we speak.

The line "I'm going to name my future son Relogic and partake in a melee only challenge" made me bust out laughing
same lmao
genuinely one of the BEST quotes this year (so far)
Funnily I didn't fully get the joke until I heard waffletime say it.
It would be something he would do
made me bust
I like to imagine that Red is sitting behind his screen laughing his ass off because of the sheer amount of trauma he caused WaffleTime.
With his kid
@killersawofficials7224 "you see son? This is how you can mentally torture people while still being pefectly legal"
@I_am_Shoop Valefisk, our absolute torture connoisseur, would be proud
Pretty much
relogic trade offer, i give you a weapon and severe ptsd, we get endless entertainment
"One would imagine Sisyphus happy in what he does."
Sisyphus:
one must imagine waffletime happy
@fortnitesexman😂😂😂 Great joke
impossible, he is the opposite of happy days
YOU CAN'T ESCAPE, BE GONE
@otakinnoob8704oh hey look a visitor, what is your metallic ass doing in my legendary mode playthrough, you metal pipe fucker
it seems like terratia has forgotten my name and I am excited to make then remember..
metallic fuck I dont want you in here so I will beat the living shit out of you
PRIME//THIRD
RAW, UNFILTERED WRATH
WAFFLETIME PRIME
"This playthrough has left me so mentally unstable the CIA has already offered me an automatic weapon twice" is peak comedy.
Where the heck does he get these lmao
@Content_Deleted its called being psychotic
Atomic* weapon
Waffletime, you're my favorite family friendly youtuber to watch. I really appreciate that you're cool, calm and collected and never let your thoughts get the better of you in any situation
He is very calm and collected, which makes him my favorite youtuber. He never lashes out ever. EVER.
I watch his videos to calm down after a long day
‘family friendly’💀
@zipzap2785thats the joke...
And also he doesn’t swear at all. and like you said, he is such a cool and calm person and that is really true. He is really family friendly.
1:05:28 The line ”who do you think you are, I am” was truly beautiful!
Such a good line for a character arc in a story or a film or something.
@DoubleBassX2 it’s a bowling meme reference
@richardburns8154Omg youre right😂
Yeah it's from Pete Weber!
Yes
i am sure that nothing will go wrong. i love how cool, calm, and rational waffletime continues to be in his videos.
He will surely not die a single time
E
The Calmest Terraria player indeed.
he will definitely not take a massive bite out of his keyboard due to this
So true
jokes and suffering aside, this video is extremely impressive in editing, gameplay, humor, and all of the waffletime incorporated W’s. this is a joy to watch, splendid video waffletime
LITERALLYYY
This is a jolly good show
Obv waffle is da best
“Shit someone else’s pants”
Remains my favorite quote spoken by any human of all time, and I have no shame in that.
Didnt even start and i alredy know this is a certified waffle time classic.
Dude fr tho, this is gonna be epic
It’s beautiful. Even the thumbnail brings tears to my eyes!
facts
I believe you mean a certified waffle time mediumcore. He’s not playing on classic
real
I love how, despite the difficulty of the challenge, he manages to stay calm throughout the entire video.
from this statement, i can conclude your ass was not watching
i wouldnt be too sure about the "stay calm" part
@channelgonelol OUR G.O.A.T. waffle time is always calm no matter what situation he happens to be in.
He is a master of staying calm
Anybody know where I can meet the guy for lessons on staying calm?
20:19 “i want to take my skin off and roll around on a dirty carpet and collect as many stray hairs and crumbs as i can on my flesh, then put my skin back on and feel slightly uneven and gross; permanently.”
I can't believe you managed to make 1 and a ½ hour video be funny from back to front with practically no fluff. You're amazing, dude.
1 and a ½ hour TERRARIA video
i mean, it was aight
I mean, no pain no gain amirite
Only one reply?
Minecraft better lol
@MelrydLOOOOOOOSSEEEEERRRRRR!!!
@@vodkacaty1013 WIIIIIIINNNNNEEEERRRRRR!
1:01:00 "If there's anything this seed has taught me so far, it's to not have hope."
Perfect encapsulation of this run.
thecaneater.. eater.. EATER?!
1:05:15
"WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? I AM"
that killed me 😂
It's a Pete Weber reference, it was the first time someone from bowling became a mainstream meme😂
Dude is actually insane. I don't think people understand just how much anger is contained in the video. While he does show a lot of rage, he probably hid a lot of the REAL anger in this Pre-Hardmode hell. Props to you man, seriously. I sure as hell couldn't do it without demolishing my PC
ftwmm had me in tears of pure rage during the eow and the wof fights, I dont want to imagine how much blood is building up in Waffle's gut due to the frustration and anger he has been building up dying, trying to recover his items, then dying again
@I_am_Shoop waffle is doing GFBLmMC (getfixedboi legendary mode medium core) which is stupidly long for an acronym
@DarkShard5728its gettixedboi not for the worthy tho
@Gamingthegaming oops mb
@Gamingthegaming It's for the worthy + 1000 other things that make it much worse.
"Who do you think you are?!?! I AM!" 🔥🔥🔥 1:05:30
"Who do you think you are!? I am!"
That's probably a better example of the psychic damage this seed does to people than anything else said in this video.
Time stamp is 1:05:28
ruclips.net/video/gKQOXYB2cd8/video.html This is what he was referencing
@redrar00 no, i dont think it was
@noahreddycheeseIt is absolutely what he is referencing. That phrase is not an uncommon meme.
It's from when Pete Weber won a tournament, it's iconic
bro manages to make a one and a half hour video have a joke in every line without ever repeating or getting boring, this is amazing content and I'm glad we have Waffle at Terraria community
To be fair, he did repeat the whole "worm hell" thing, but it was still funny when he did
I also think he lost his mind a few times too
Eater from Hell
WORM HELL
Eator of assholes
For my own rewatch:
24:25 local skinwalker
35:10 interrupting spider central
Waffles one liners are truley legendary, he always comes up with more unique things to say every video
The glazing 💀💀
@ans.88.88 is justified, because it's true.
@ans.88.88come back when you have 500k
@ans.88.88I can't even imagine you navigating daily life
@ans.88.88I guess compliments just don't exist anymore
1:28:10 the Aqua Scepter and Bubble Gun swapped places in this seed. You get it from Fishron
"Oh boy, I can't wait to get the razorblade typhoon!"
*Beats duke fishron after 27 deaths, and gets a fucking water-bolt*
@WestGarbage6 remix aqua scepter is pretty good tho.
Idk if the video i saw had s or not but they killed daytime eol in like 5-7 seconds with an average build 💀
Peeper from subnautica.
I want the peeper leviathan.
1:20:51 this guy’s rage was beyond palpable here
the sheer dedication this man has to his craft is unmeasured, the trauma he has experienced are the friends we made along the way, certified waffle time classic.
The only thing more impressive than how calm and collected you stay is that you knocked out every boss first try. Stoked to see the Empress fight in the next episode :)
Lmfao
@@vodkacaty1013 and it also stacks with the fact that he never fights the empress in his playthroughs because he would rather save his hair from being ripped out of his skull
@@vodkacaty1013okay. Im glad it wasn’t a spoiler because I was expecting him to kill EOC first try and he died and I was like “ugh! He lied..(in disappointment)”
@Mathemaniac187 What's EoC?
Edit: Eye of Cthulhu?
@Stillcrown239 yep. Acronym for eye of cthulhu.
6:10 shout-out Sipho an McCrae frr 😎
42:42 building EOW arena
01:05:00 kills EOW
Oh my, I sure wonder what fun wacky hijinks did Waffletime go through in those 20 minutes
@dimsthedimwit600WORMS FROM HELL
Why did this 1h and a half feel like 10 minutes
The work this man puts is magnificent
Also he is very calm!
he went bald like 17 times but ok
I can say he's calm comparing to me
@jake495 you have issues. real issues.
@knoxtoneman2809 I played with my homies and we got mad together lmaoo. It's really fun tbh
I dont why but I read that in waffle times voice
"we tickle his beard and get a strange look from him" made me cackle
Nobody could keep their cool like waffletime, simply mesmerized by his learned vocabulary, he was very coherent and mentally sane throughout the entire video. Look forward for part two.
Just found this channel, and watching this man’s descent into madness is very entertaining.
Welcome to the club. Snacks are in the back
@darcsyde345 ... We have snacks?
Snacks, where
the snacks are in the back idit!11!!1!!!@hohoho-wj6ty
Omg do not belive in the "snacks are in the back", belive me. I already went there but instead of snack there was only rapists
20:28 so relatable!
Been waiting for this for a while now, it was freaking great! Can't wait for the next part, thanks for all your hard work as always Waffle your vids make my days brighter each time I binge them a bajillion times a week.
Holy shit!
You paid my dad's gambling debt, i can go to college thanks
Holy fuck thats a lot of money
@lrplayz7577 it's philippine pesos, in USD it's about 4.50 dollars
@redhotpeppers348I was about to say
I just watched the entire thing and I was fully entertained the entire time. Praying for waffletimes future family that's gonna have to deal with his trauma
What is that badge you have
@IMAGE_TRANS a member badge to this channel. You can join for a few bucks per month
@IMAGE_TRANSsex-haver badge
It means he has been a member for too long@IMAGE_TRANS
@IMAGE_TRANS. That pfp made me pretty happy Ngl.
My favorite videos of terraria, your videos are perfect, funny and entertaining!
It's been 10 minutes and I can already say this is a certified WaffleTime classic
only a 1:40 for me
it's been 59:40 and i can indeed confirm
Hey waffle, the magiluminescence gives you a speed boost and light so you don't have to hold torches all the time to not die of the darkness
Prob one of my favorite accessories in the entire game
It’s actually really dangerous because it’s so hard to play without it
@talosine2963especially on mobile
@talosine2963its so qol even in a normal playtrough
Not having to suffer in water going blind in a cave
4:37
"I am going to name my future song Relogic and partake in a melee only challenge."
Love this guy.
It was so amazing seeing you do such a crazy challenge without dying even a single time, and easily wiping out all those bosses on your first try!!
8===========D
Facts
Just amazing
Excellent, another world to lose all marbles in
Not only that, but also in where did all my stuff go this time mode (mediumcore)
Waffletime Inc. Seems to be serving us an extra plate of sheer and unfiltered rage, sadness, and hopelessness.
this is written like a movie review from a failing personal blog
I swear the absolute total contrast between the commentating Waffle and the Live reaction Waffle makes this so much better.
1:26:19 hearing that scream slowly elevate into unintelligible rage was quite entertaining
The techno blade of terraria
Not even remotely close
pinch and roll technique went crazy
WE MAKING IT OUT OF PREHARDMODE WITH THIS ONE🥶🥶🥶🥶🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
No we aren’t
Like farm
@masondamoose7520 Like, Scoob
38:12 that is the best travelling merchant, holy crap. 3/4 Architect gizmo items and 2/3 cell phone items
Every time i rewatch this vid, im reminded of how glad i am that we dont normally drop items
The fact that you somehow made a rant about the corruption of pharmacies sound relevant to what you were doing had me dying
Watching him deal with the moon boulders in the moon lord fight is going to be hilarious
Waffle: the WHAT
THE WHAT?
BROOO YOU PREDICTED IT
13:33 Last chance to look at me hector
Oh my god it's unreal how re-watchable every single terraria vid of yours is, I can never get enough and it always cheers me up to the max, astonishing work and thank you!!
EXACTLY HE'S SO AWESOME AND ENTERTAINING
"Only on Medium Core" Red is a true troll bro, and I love it! ;)
Whenever I feel bad, I rewatch these 2 videos to make me feel better
Will happily wait 47 years for a video as high quality as this one, keep up the good work man 👍
Master mode was made to be hard, but if I’m being perfectly honest, I physically cannot live without the extra accessory slots. They are so damn useful man!
wow i just watched an hour of this and it felt like a few minutes. You're really entertaining!
11:56 its a boulder because the "notraps" seed
cant wait for part 2 to feature hopefully the OSOGOF tunnel :)
Who asked :)
@manokol123 nobody needed to ask, i simply let out a hefty chuckle when the OSOGOF tunnel is brought up
@manokol123I did >:]
@manokol123you must have a lot of friends, huh?
@shinycharizard9221 you didn't.
13:35 THE HUAAAAGHHHH ahhahahhahahah i cant
A hour and a half of random and legendary commentary from the one and only Waffle time (I can’t wait for whatever waffle is cooking up in part two)
frfr ive been trying and failing at this seed since this video came out, and with only a classic character i still have only made it to golem
Even reading his script would keep me more entertained than 90% of everything else
I love using your videos to fall asleep. You have the perfect amount of calming and interestingness for me to fall asleep to
10:51 is one of my favorite Waffletime trademark one liners out there
1:09:30
that was a bit too real Waffle😂
"Worms from hell" just makes me laugh
the maya hee rage was the best one, in my opinion, you can feel the raw, unfiltered rage being emitted from that guttural scream
Terraria needs to make one of dryad's dialogue about waffle, like " this guy waffle seems to call me alot? "
Very impressive the way you are able to stay so calm in this difficult seed, and even more impressive that you managed to do it without dying even a single time!
Just beat this myself. Very excited to hear you voice every thought word for word that I went through during my playthrough
I absolutely love how he just goes on about something so calmly
the "Worm from Hell" bit is so god damn funny to me😂
"Who do you think you are, I am!"
Glad to see that legendary line still making its rounds
funniest video ive watched . Will watch again . thank you for the laughs
"Maria HEEEE, Maria HOOO, Maria HAAA, Maria hahaaaAAAAAAA GOD DAMN IT!" Made me crack 😂
An hour and a half of waffletime having reasonable reactions to minor inconveniences? Splendid.
Waffle’s calmest moment in this run was probably him curling over his monitor pulling the visible frustration face
good reference to the bowling dude who fucked up his line creating an even better thing to shout after winning
waffletime casually throwing away his mental health while playing this just to upload it for us, truly the best waffle of our times
Ironically, the heavenevator became your hell
I love how this challenge was endorsed by Relogic themselves
I love your long play throughs. I don't really watch streams so its always nice to see a fully edited stream sized video.
When i did a zenith seed run peace Candles were my best friend
funniest shit i've ever watched 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
"WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? I AM" is a sentence only spoken out of pure insanity
"The air was fresh until a flying uncircumcised chode learned how to air bend and propel itself at me at mach speed"
This quote needs to go on my wall.
For anyone crazy enough to do this seed as well, setting up a health refill stations in the form of timers + heart statues is fantastic, especially with the wall of flesh
I do this in regular master mode bc im bad at the game 💀
@carpet3827You're not bad, you're careful. Respect.
I cannot imagine the sheer rage one would get were they to die in mediumcore and immediately get a game crash afterwards.
there must be a way to reload at an earlier save if that happened. otherwise may as well start a new, normal playthrough.
I love your videos, Papa Waffle. They really helped me through a tough time before, and they're doing so again now. Never forget that you positively impact so many lives
His hypotheticals when he expresses his frustrations are making me howl at 3:30am
The amount of patience invested for this experience... Amazing!!
And as a side note: it's good to recall some basic strategies and tips, such as the use of sunflowers and campfires in arenas.
Waiting to see the next part soon!
(guess that colon is gonna suffer waaaaaaay lot more...)
just here for my yearly rewatch
1:05:20 i share the amount of relief and joy from waffle finally winning against the EOW :))
This shit goes hard when ur drunk
20:29 you really gave me shivers on my back
3 months of waiting for part 2
He fucking foreshadowed the collab episode
Love your videos man, keep up the good work
the narration, the ost, the game, the gameplay, the editing, the voice, 20/20 cinematic masterpiece
i swear this series has the best waffletime commenting, literally bust out laughing every 5 -10 minutes when watching this unholying long challenge
