Terraria (2d Minecraft)

I rebooted it just now, hopefully that'll resolve whatever was bugging it out. My connection might have been flaky last night too, I wasn't home at all to check.

It was. Tried it out, and I got booted every 10~ minutes with difficulty reconnecting.

Hardmode is hard with only a shadow set and muramasa, but I managed to scrape up 10 gold to buy the ticker's bench and rocket boots, but even then, I couldn't make it to level 0.

It only starts to get easier when you have mythril and even then shit will still rock your world fast, I don't have much problem in full adamanite but problems have come up, wish there was a way to enchant armor to reduce magic damage from mobs cause that shit rips you apart.

[miokomioko]

Once you can get a weapon that simultaneously does more than 10 damage and hits fast enough to keep shit knocked-back, you'll be ok. Gastropods, however, can go rot in fucking hell. Ranged-attacking enemies need to not be constantly 100% accurate...

So hey, rod of ice equals infinite vertical height. Just so you know! Fly up, when you're out of juice, drop an ice block below you. Land for a moment, fly again!

[Corrderio]

So what would you guys say the best weaoon is to solo Wall of Flesh. Space Gun?

Edit: Whoops, wrong gun.

[Coren]

Star cannon if you have a couple hundred stars is the easiest. Otherwise anything you have that is ranged and piercing. Or, build a long runway and then it doesn't matter too much; just don't run out of ammo.

[Eggroll]

If you have the ammo, yeah. I think Star Cannon is back to being the top tier weapon in the game again since it's back to "very fast" speed and can crack 100 damage with the right gear.

i used my 340 mana and 2 crystal cost crystal storm rocked that bitch with some potions

[miokomioko]

Demon Scythe spell and a handful of Mana Potions did it for me. You could kill a bunch of mobs on your runway before-hand and leave the mana on the ground for you to come up on as well. If you're slick, you can jump very close to the bottom eye, and fire the Demon Scythe upwards and slightly to the left so after it lingers on the eye, hitting it quite a few times, it accelerates upwards and hitting the wall in a few other spots and/or tentacles.

A solid reforge of that spell gets me 50~60 per hit with 80~100 criticals. It's the best spell in my opinion. Crystal Storm and Cursed Flame were a bit of a disappointment. Hell, I got more use out of Water Bolt (which is retarded that you can't reforge).

[Coren]

Can you make crystal storm before killing WoF for first time? I think it requires crystals that don't show up till hardmode.

I can see demon scythe being the most useful. You can definitely make a bunch of stacks of mana pots and a mana flower pre-WoF.

[miokomioko]

You're right, Crystal Storm requires Souls of Light, Crystal Shards, and a Spell Tome from the Wizard... none of which can be obtained pre-Wall of Flesh. I think the only magic weapons options up to that point are Demon Scythe, Fireflower, Water Bolt, Magic Missle, Flamelash, Space Gun, Vilethorn and Aqua Scepter. Most of those a pretty much crap compared to Sunfury or maybe Night's Edge when it comes to a boss fight. I don't know shit about bows/guns, though. I've never cared for ranged weapons in this game for some reason.

[Imitarate]

The first time I did Wall of Flesh, I used necro armor and a minishark, with a whooooooole lot of meteor shots. It was decent, I took too much damage from the leeches for comfort, but it did work. Bring 2000 bullets and hold down the mouse.

[Trichocyst]

My first solo wall of flesh I was in full Hellstone. I used a legendary Night's Edge to kill off the eyes and then used a boomerang at close range on a loooooong set of platforms I set up to train it back.

[djzombie]

minishark and enough ammo is easy enough to get assuming you have the gold for it. then you can upgrade to a megashark too after you kill destroyer and get some shark fins

[Psion]

I tried minishark, but without meteor shot the damage was shit. For me, I found a combination of phoenix blaster with bullets and especially hellfire arrows with a molten bow to work. I wore molten armor set, used ironskin/regeneration potions, and built a long runway for ease of fighting. (it ran out halfway and then it got fun slinging along with my ivy whip across the roof while frantically shooting at it. :D ) I also used a flamelash once in a while when i had the mana, just spammed it then swapped back to ranged attacks.

once you hit half health on the WoF, he starts firing lasers more often, and once you get down to 1k hp or so, he speeds up somewhat and fires lasers almost nonstop. ironskin potion is your friend to cut down on damage, and make sure to get rid of the hungry hanging on in the beginning if you can. otherwise when he starts to speed up and your out of runway, things get ugly fast as you WILL get rather close to him at times, and having no hungrys to chew you up on those times really helps.

Oh, and don't fire hellfire arrows if your near where they will hit. they explode and damage everything in range, you included. <_<;

[Coren]

Another thing that makes life easy is the obsidian potion and the walk on water potion. Then it doesn't matter if you have much of a runway. Just run like hell and jump over shit. You can also use a grav potion.

@mioko, I thought you could get the wizard pre-hardmode.... I don't remember when I found mine.

[Imitarate]

Yeah, I didn't use platforms, I just use Walk on Water potions in the Underworld. It makes the whole area much more survivable at much lower power levels, if you can get your hands on some.

So I set up a bunch of heart statues, stupid easy solo on the bosses. When I get some time I'm going to take them away and fight a bunch of bosses in a row to see at what point (in adamantite and other pre-boss stuff) it becomes borderline challenging. There should be a reasonable minimal number of them you can use to make the fights soloable, but not hold-down-the-mouse easy mode. Getting 3-4 of them through world hunting would be a bit time consuming, but reasonable. 9-10 of them would be more of a pain in the ass.

[miokomioko]

@mioko, I thought you could get the wizard pre-hardmode.... I don't remember when I found mine.

I had read that the Wizard doesn't show up until after you defeat Wall of Flesh. It took me ages to find mine after I beat it. Wasn't anywhere in the Underworld and he wasn't in my Dungeon. I ended up finding him in my Hallowed Underground only recently.

[Coren]

AFAIK the new NPCs are random pops almost like mobs. Even if you search everywhere, he could show up any time, any where. I know the goblin doesn't show up until after goblin army has been defeated, but I hadn't heard that the wizard was linked to WoF.
