Game footage is from Terraria, a totally awesome game by indie developer Re-Logic. Interested in trying it out? Go here terraria.org/ or here store.steampowered.com/app/10...
Music is also from Terraria and was composed by Scott Lloyd Shelley / Resonance Array.
Nothing in this video is sponsored by Re-Logic, and the commentary and information in this video do not represent the opinions or positions of any other entity whatsoever. The "big assssphalt" joke at the end was totally spontaneous LOL
After 1,000 years, he finally awakens
Right?! Not planning to go back to sleep anytime soon, so stick around for more Terraria Content, especially after the holidays are over!
Yeah, I was looking at his last video to find out if he would continue the series then I saw this one
YAAAAAAY 😊
Now we need queen slime one
*salendrak has awoken*
SO glad you're back!!! You are responsible for my love of this game being as deep as it is. Thanks!
Awwww - thanks!!
Keep making these bangers Salendrak! While I'm already very familiar with Terraria's progression, your guides are just so entertaining to watch that I found myself binge watching this series every now and then.
Thanks!! Next one on Skeletron Prime should be out middle of next week!
Im so happy you're still posting these, i was so overwhelmed trying to figure out what to do when i started terraria about a week ago and you doing this series has helped me and many others I probably wouldnt be playing if i didnt have these guides because of how overwhelming the game can be I just defeated the brain thanks to you and im prepping for king slime, love your videos so much
Awesome - welcome to Terraria!!
Finally a new video. I was really clueless after the mech worm
Much more to come in the new year!!
I returned to terraria after a decade, and this has become my go-to channel for guide videos. Great content. Full of great info
Thanks!!
For me the Twins are the funnest boss to beat and if you want to make it more fun attack both twins and not just focus on one. You don’t need the asphalt road and I just use the goat skull in master mode. For Spazmtism you can use the king slime mount if you want and for wings for classic you don’t need wings but in expert and master mode you do. Over all the twins are a very fun fight with good rewords to whoever beats it. But I hate how in 1.4.5 they are going to change the boss music :(
What are they changing about the music? I haven't really been following the news about 1.4.5 much...
kzhead.info/sun/bJargtp9bGimfnk/bejne.htmlsi=4zOSbMxCuo0vUerd this is the new boss music for me it doesn’t hit as hard as the old boss music witch is sad for me because this is my favorite boss theme and now I can only hear it when fighting the wall of flesh or using the music box
@@gavindawson1332 I kind of like it! Though I don't really notice the music very much when I'm fighting bosses - I'm usually too focused on fighting the boss!!
Finally after 5 months you are back !!! Man I've beaten the destroyer using your strategy but then finished the other 2 (skeletron prime & the twins) now I have to beat planterra. I hope you keep up this playlist I love this playlist. Thank you ❤
My current plan is to really focus on the Terraria series and basically finish it up in the next couple of months!
@@salendrak that's very good to hear. I appreciate your work a lot and thank you for helping me in the begining and also helping others 🙂. also merry Christmas ☃️
Hell yeah thanks for the guide ❤
Sir yes sir!!
you've helped me defeat destroyer and the twins now, thank you!
Great!!
Thanks for the guide, you unironically carried me through early hardmode and hardmode prep, if it wasnt for you It'd be game over for me already
Glad I could help!!
Thank you for this series, Salandrak. It's my first time on Expert mode, and this REALLY helps me go through. Hopee you continues the series
You're most very welcome! Next video on Skeletron Prime will be out sometime next week, so stay tuned!!
Sure I will!! @@salendrak
@@salendrakI personally think taking down retinaser first is the way to go, but great tutorial either way! I never throught about using asphalt
Thank you so much for this, I was just starting to wonder how to prep for the Twins!
Sometimes my timing is excellent!!
Thanks Salendrak! I'm probably going to hardmode today and your videos are helping me a lot
Enjoy early hardmode - that's my favorite stage of the game!!
Excited for this!! My character is long-since ready for hardmode, but I've been prepping my world on-and-off for the last 10 months or so 😁 I need to get back to creating a Plantera arena
Take the plunge - hardmode is GREAT!!
@@salendrak I think I finally will! I'll get my scarab bombs and clear out my jungle arena and then start It. At this point I'm just waiting for the Traveling Merchant to sell the Stopwatch and the Paint Sprayer in order to finish the Cell Phone and Hand of God, but I've got everything else for them.
I love your series, it inspired me to buy terraria, I couldn’t play this beatiful game without you, thanks a lot
D'awwww - that's awesome!! Thanks!!!
Welcome back mate!👍
Thanks!! 😁
BABY WAKE UP SALENDRAK CONTINUED THE SERIES 🔥🔥🔥
More to come after the holidays!
I might be a veteran but like every kickboxer we have a fantastic coach
Thanks!!
YESS ITS FINNALLY OUTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!! (the twins was my first ever mechanical boss that beat lol)
Yippee!!!
@@salendrak i already beat the game and i moved to playing (singleplayer) don't starve
The King Returns!
Wow - you're the second person to say that!
Nice strategies. One small issue: gravitational potion goes brrrrrrr
Oooooh I never thought of that!
for mage my go to weapon is the meteor staff. yes it may be hard to aim, yes it devours your mana like crazy but the damage is fantastic.
Meteors go BRRRRRR!!! I think it's fine on Classic, but on higher difficulties I prefer to really focus fire one down, then down the other.
Bro haven't played in a few years. Thought id jump back in with an expert run. Boy....These twins gave me fits. Failed previous 12-15 attempts. Beat it first try using your asphalt runway tip. Ty bro. 🫡
Welcome back!!
the king is back at last!
😁
OH my god this is a god send the twins are just about to spawn i thought this had not bein posted yet thank you
My timing was perfect!!
yes it was you madlad i still died tho but i got both 2 phase 2 @@salendrak
You helped me alot when going to hard mode and i just killed the mechanic destroyer and i use the shadow flame knife its so good
Well done!! And yeah - that weapon is GREAT for melee!
@@salendrak yeah i love that it dosent take mana so you can just spam it
Thank you!
You bet!!
You make such great videos man please continue if you can! I understand these don't get a lot of views, but I searched for another channel doing a guide series like this and found none! This playlist has done more to help me than any other videos on the subject. Thank you so much!
If I may, I just want to add: PLEEEASE! haha
Current plan is to really focus on this series in 2024 and get it done all the way through Moon Lord before summer - maybe sooner!!
Fantastic news, man. I just started my "first" classic world (I played a little bit shortly after the game first came out) and wow there is sooo much now it would be impossible to figure it all out on your own
Hi there, thanks much for the guides! May I suggest a guide on building/updating the arena(s) for endgame bosses and/or seasonal events? I've been stuck on the Moon Lord and I think that what I'm missing is some more arena buffs and general preparation. I've read the wiki but your approach is much easier to follow!
I'll get to the Moon Lord eventually, but usually my preferred method is basically the same as the Twins - make a REALLY long asphalt runway, and try to keep your distance. First kill I usually go Melee with the Daybreak, and a high defense and health regen armor set like Valhalla Knight. Make sure you have all reforged items, full potion buffs, and line your runway with heart lanterns, campfires, and sunflowers, with some honey baths here and there. Good luck!!
When I first did the Twins in Classic, I believe I used the Shadowflame Knife or possibly the Light Discs. For my second playthrough in Expert as a ranger, I used the Megashark with Crystal Bullets, with the unicorn mount for speed rather than asphalt, on a skybridge long enough to not need to turn around. With that setup I had trouble with the eyes despawning rather easily though, especially Retinazer, due to me trying to get a lot of distance from Spazmatism to dodge its shots, and Retinazer lagging behind.
I'm personally not a fan of mounts for bossfights. They limit mobility, which I prefer to keep over raw max speed. And asphalt gives you the best of both worlds - PLENTY of speed without limiting your mobility!
@@salendrak I’m under the impression that on asphalt, you lose the extra speed as soon as you jump, while a unicorn can at least double-jump at full speed. Certainly you have to dismount if you want to turn around though. More of a problem is that the mount makes your hitbox taller so you can’t fit between some shots that you can on foot.
our favourite drakon is back!
😈
For the twins fight I just had a really long stone path way I don’t remember much else for the fight at least all your videos are really good
Anything that lets you keep your distance from them should do the trick!!
Omg he is back I could cry
Gonna stick around for a while too. Grab that box of tissue!! 😆
Notice here: If you aren't finding any souls of sight try flying up where you killed the eyes
Yeah - darn things like to hide offscreen sometimes. All the other loot falls to the ground - but not those souls!!
Youre finally back!,i watched your videos for my first playthrough but i was so dissapointed that it just stopped at the destroyer,i already beaten the game multiple times but your guides helped me alot,glad your back.
Sometimes I get distracted with other projects lol - but never fear! Focus will be just on Terraria for the next couple of months...most likely.... 😆
the legend is back 😮😮
Cue fireworks and celebrations!! 😁
i havent watched your videos in a while and as soon as i heard your voice it reminded me of my sophomore english teacher 😭
Is that a good thing or a bad thing? Also, for the record, never have I ever been an English teacher 😆
@@salendrak good thing, my 10th grade english teacher was the greatest of all time
As a 0 iq returning player who has forgotten everything your videos are really helpful i appreciate the effort you have put in to make these guides
Refresher courses are something we can all benefit from now and then!!
Yk is a good day when Sal uploads
Early Xmas!
oh wow, i was just about to fight the twins today
Sometimes my timing is excellent!!
Tysm man gonna drop a sub
Thanks!!
Thanks, now try the guide for the Skeletron Prime!
That's what's next!
Hey salendrak i just got an idea for the random challenge series. Is it possible to defeat skeletron, EoC, BoC/EoW simultaneously with max. prehardmode gear??
Don't know if I've ever tried it, but sounds like fun! Maybe add in an enraged Queen Bee for fun? LOL
@@salendrakmy guess would be to you warding on all accessories and have every single potion ready. Using drayds blessing and nurse nearby might also be a viable strat. The Gray Zapinator would be my pick tho.
Super star shooter also works awesome
Absolutely!
I strated playing terraria few months ago and your video helped me a loot till destroyer. You made my experience way better but after destroyer, I was lost.
Well good news - if you're willing to take things slow, I'm planning on focusing on these guides until I finish the series over the next couple of months!!
Salendrak Has been awoken…
Hopefully the end result isn't "Salendrak has been defeated." 🤣
Do you any type for a best weapon for melle? I have shadowfire blades and bananarang.thx.
Both of those work great!
Could you write a basic expert mode tips and tricks for plantera?
Have you checked out the wiki information for Plantera? I'll be doing a guide on Plantera before too much longer, but it's probably still a few weeks out before I get to it. But in the meantime the wiki should help a ton! terraria.wiki.gg/wiki/Plantera and terraria.wiki.gg/wiki/Guide:Plantera_strategies
Is it a decent alternative to use swiftness potions if you dont have asphalt?
Nope! I might do a short video about movement speed in the near future, but in essence, Swiftness potion doesn't stack with sprinting movement speed of boots on normal ground. So if you have boots, swiftness potion normally does nothing for your speed. Without any other buffs / items that effect movement speed, your default movement speed is 15 mph, and if you just add a swiftness potion, it goes up by 25% to 19 mph (rounded up). If you put on Hermes boots you get a sprinting top speed of 30 mph, and Lightning Boots or better (Frostspark, Terraspark) bump you up to 34 mph. Adding Swiftness Potion on top of boots won't increase your speed at all - most of the time. Thus Swiftness Potion is a LOT slower than the sprint speed of boots. Surprisingly though, things are a little bit different on Asphalt. With no speed boosters, your base movement top speed on Asphalt is 53 mph. This is because Asphalt multiplies your speed by 3.5, so 15 x 3.5 = 52.5, which rounds up to 53 in-game. Add in just a swiftness Potion, and goes up to 66 mph, because 19 x 3.5 = 66.5, which rounds up to 67. But if you add in just Lightning Boots you'll top out on Asphalt at 57 mph - less than your speed with just Swiftness Potion! This is because for some reason you don't get the sprint speed from the boots on Asphalt, but instead get just their base walking speed boost of 8%. So 15 x 1.08 = 16.2 base walking speed with Lightning boots, and on Asphalt 16.2 x 3.5 = 56.7, which rounds up to 57. HOWEVER - once you take sprint speed from boots out of the equation, you allow the smaller 8% movement speed from the boots to actually stack multiplicatively with the 25% movement speed boost from Swiftness Potion. So if you wear Lightning Boots AND use a Swiftness Potion on Asphalt, your top speed hits 71 mph! Math is this: 15 x 1.25 = 18.75, then 18.75 x 1.08 = 20.25, then 20.25 x 3.5 = 70.875, which rounds up to 71 in-game. Crazy huh!?
My strategy is somewhat unusual and not very cheap I put 2 teleporter(not very far) just to have distance and while it feels cheating because you can't take damage if you time it right. I put a box to protect my self from any enemies so they don't interfere with me.
They put teleporters in the game - feel free to abuse them to your heart's content!
@@salendrak ah thanks, now my heart is at ease.
Is the Orange zapinator good for the twins (mage) ? Or at least viable? Mainly expert mode twins
Never tried it! I've always found those weapons to be really RNG dependent - both in getting it in the first place, as well as having it hit the big damage spikes. I generally prefer to use more dependable weapons. But do give it a try and let me know how it works!!
Well, it's really easy, you just need a hambat, a few pierogi - Wait, this isn't...
Yeah, I definitely wouldn't recommend the hambat for this fight! 😉
I beat WOF and first night i got the mech eye. I was scared to try it because i only had cobalt armor, but ended up using it. Died and next 10 nights it spawned by itself
Wow - the Twins really have it in for you!!
@@salendrak Yeah.. I was getting mythril for the anvil because i wanted to craft fairy wings, then the twins came to me. I had no weapons that would deal good damage. Any ideas? Edit: I was blind because there was weapons for me (Melee)
My comment isnt sending, Welp, ingore this comment
Im a bit late but he finally came back unlike my dad
Ouch! Heavy dude - heavy!
I'm mage class at golem, what weapon should I use, already lost 3 times
Check the golem strategies page on the wiki - it has lots of ideas for you! Or if you wait, I might get to it by late January / early February 😆
I have a megashark and a highway and a friend is that enough for the first time twins on classic?
The highway is from that thingy that makes u fast
Sounds good to me!
THE SALENDRAK IS REAL
It's TRUE!!
Wakey wakey mfs, salendrak uploaded
And more to come too!!
@@salendrak yessirrr, looking forward to it!!
Ok so on master mode you should target retinazor because you get over whelmed by spaz very easily with his dashing and because they are also connected even with wings it’s hard to fly above them and dive the dashing so if you can dodge the flames which I’m pretty sure everybody can even on master mode you should target retinazor because the dashing with lasers is really bad edit:also this is if you don’t have an asphalt runway and just have a normal arena
Someone else posted the idea of using a gravitation potion - I think that would work really well if you don't have the asphalt yet.
@@salendrak yes I have tried using an gravitational potion but I just fall into them most of the time or I miss click my W key and I go into them while trying to dodge but I already beat the mechs but everything in this guide is very good but after destroyer I was on my own but I already beat the game on classic lol also I think you should start recommending specific buffs like life force because I know most people don’t even know abt life force because they are new or they just have never seen it
I usually don't talk about potions buffs for mods in the boss guide videos, mostly because I already covered those topics in a separate video, and I try to not be redundant in each video. Though I did forget to mention that in this one. Oh well!!
@@salendrak oh yea I forgot about that video lol.
Thank you thank you thank you so much because i cant beat the twins so what should i do if i encounter the twins
Uhhhh - do what I said in the guide?
Is the shield of ctuhultu useful when i have wings?
Absolutely! The extra dash speed to get out of the way of things is extremely useful!
Every time I hear "cool whip" I can't help but think of Family Guy I'm so sorry- 😂😂😭
Given the number of creative references in this game, there's a good chance the devs were thinking the same thing when they named it that. That said, I have no idea what the reference might be - I've never watched Family Guy LOL
ok - I just googled it. That was pretty funny 😆😆
I was just watching through your for the worthy playthrough but now just noticed you stopped at hardmod, why did you stop?
Sadly, the series just wasn't getting enough views to justify the time and effort of making the videos.
no way sal made a new video?
It's been known to happen every now and then 😆
should i put my arena in my world or a different world?
I've always done everything on a given character in the same world I started with that character. Is there any particular reason you would maybe prefer to fight bosses in a different world? In order for your current world to progress you'll need to kill all the bosses in that world, so I have a hard time thinking of a reason to do them in a different world.
@@salendrak oh yeah, that makes sense, should i put my arena away from my house?
@daddys_turn I generally make my arenas pretty close to my base, but that does result in NPCs sometimes getting killed by certain bosses and events. It can be nice to have the base close to your spawn point though, in case YOU get killed by certain events 😆
I thought he discontinued the series
Nope - just got distracted with Path of Exile for a while. Plan right now though is to really focus on this series and get it done over the next couple of months.
@@salendrak thanks about the videos this videos are helping me on my first playthrough
Is that a new mic?
Nope - but I did get a new computer and had to re set up my audio editing settings and whatnot. Sound better or worse?
fiNALLYYY WOWEE
😎
Is it weird that in My first playthrough of this game which was in classic difficulty I used the Strombow and...... Umm pls don't puke when all of you hear this..... Fire arrows💀💀. And kinda funny how I took out both Skeletron prime and The Twins and it took Me along time but I couldn't kill the Destroyer. So I brought My endgame friend who took out the destroyer with ease whit his endgame armor. Yeah kinda embarrasing. And the worst part is that to this day Im still bad at destroying the Destroyer. I don't usually use the cheese thats why I struggle with the Destroyer. Reasons why I do not do cheeses at all: 1) I simply do not have time to make the cheese. 2) Im not the person who likes to do math at video games. 3) is that to simply make it more challenging for Me... Hehehe..... ( Definitely not an excuse that Im lazy and I just want to get rid of the boss as much as I can). And plus I hate making buff potions since some of them is a pain to get. Most of the time I skip the endurance potion. Because it simply makes the game more challenging. ( Definitely not another excuse that the number one thing that I hate to do in this game is fishing).
Good news - you're always welcome to play the game however you want!! ps - now I want to try the mech bosses with the stormbow fire arrows combo 😆
@@salendrakSure try it! But you will get brutally close to daytime like what I did in skeletron prime, when I used the fire arrow stormbow combo in classic it took Me until somewhere around 4AM literally right before daytime so that was extremely nerve racking. Another tip! YOU CANNOT MISS 30 FIRE ARROWS I REPEAT YOU CNANOT MISS MORE THAN 30 FIRE ARROWS or else Skeletron Prime will definitely turn into a dungeon guardian but weaker.
Now is not a great time to be a melee main🫠
Start chucking those Shadowflame knives! Overall it isn't that bad so long as you have a ranged melee option, and can ignore the cognitive dissonance that statement causes 😆
First
Technically second, but yeah - it was close!!
Who was first
Useless comment
Looks like I was 1st by second 11
First comment is NEVER useless!! 🤣
