Terraria seems pretty simple you know, fight enemies, kill bosses, get loot, But there's actually a whole lot more. Your understanding of the game can change a lot in the way you play the game so I'm going to be revealing my secret Strategies

Some clarification on the tombstones: NPCs only drop tombstones when you are doing hardcore. Otherwise they do not. This may be obvious to some people, but it wasn't to me so I figured I'd add a comment for it.
Thanks for the mention - I'd never seen an NPC drop a tombstone before and I've played this game a LOT
Well you helped me out (:
@@JigglesMcRibs it's exclusively in hardcore mode, that way players are actually able to make graveyard biomes, because otherwise, there would be no other way.
@@Christian-et9svI mean they could've just made gravestones craftable 🤷♀️
@@Christian-et9sv or you couldve just got an non hardcore character to rod of discord your way to a graveyard biome
I'm pretty sure, back when I came up with my own cheese method for Mechdusa, 90% of my arena's damage output was from boulder statues.
I'm the original purple stand
No life
Yeah and I paired that with a strategy I did which was making a large area and then using a teleportation on each end with a hoik so you can shoot projectiles (like the crimson dart pistol with cursed darts which is possible because getfixedboi) and then, with easy timing, you’re virtually invincible

Abigails flower doesnt only grow in graveyards, it just grows next to any grave
Specifically, next to any grave on grass, and I've found it seems to never grow on one-tile-vertically-thick grass
No wonder it suddenly appeared exactly in front of my house lol. I had like 3 graves for decorations
i have so much of those in my storage
@@bighatenergy No, it actually will spawn on one-tile-thick grass. It only needs a grave, a grass tile within a 20x20 square around the grave, and an open tile directly above the grass (most plants and rubble count as open for this purpose). This means you could actually get some 200 grass tiles that are viable for spawning an Abigail for a single grave, though doing that setup without grass seed access is a pain and once you have grass seeds Abigail has been outclassed.
As someone trying to beat hardcore, the pressure plate stays in the hotbar. Always. Also, using a hotkey to select your recall potions means you can escape any situation in just 2 button presses.
ur pfp looks.. familiar
I don't like using pressure plates for seeing traps, personally, the biggest issue is that the traps I fall for are always when I don't expect a trap to be there. Having a conscious option for seeing traps simply isn't relevant in my eyes, which is why I prefer Dangersense. After you beat Skeletron, you can get wire vision from the Mechanic! ...And at this point, I immediately turn off wire vision, because unless you take the time to painstakingly remove all wire from disabled traps, you're going to see a lot of visual clutter from already cleared traps and at some point you'll take that as license to just ignore the wire and at that point you'll activate a still active trap and die. Nothing beats Dangersense in the end. Recalls in the hotbar is mandatory, though. For a time I had it on hotkey 4 so it was easier to reach, but nowadays I have the 0 hotbar key mapped to ` so it's easy to hit in a pinch without compromising another hotbar position that I generally use for a second or third weapon or platforms or some other tool. Also, thanks to unfortunate consequences of the autoswing system, autoswing weapons prioritize their own autoswing over buffered recall inputs. If you need the weapon to keep an enemy off of you and also need a recall to get out of that situation, sorry... better hope it's not an autoswing weapon, or you'll need a solid second to actually put down the weapon before the game will let you recall.
A huge use case for the graveyard biome is buying the opposite evil seeds. When the Dryad is in the graveyard biome in hardmode (may also need a blood moon, haven't tested yet) she will sell the seeds for the *opposite* evil. Perfect for getting the other evil's fish or biome mimics
u can also just use the shimmer
Yep! It's especially great for getting access to ichor on Corruption worlds. And you also don't need a blood moon for her to sell them.
The chance for hoplites to drop their armor is a lot higher than 5%; it's a 1/7. For comparison, enemies have a rarer chance to drop souls in an underground corruption/crimson/hallow.
Checked the wiki, this is correct the wiki just says the old drop chance and has the 1/7 in the History section. Thank you for this info 👍
Surely that can't be true? When i play the game the souls feel like they drop from around 1/3 enemies Ok so i looked it up and you *are* wrong. Its a 1/5 chance in normal mode and a 36%(roughly 1/3) chance in expert and master. Since i play expert most of the time i was right on the money
@@dudu28r81 Huh. I could've sworn enemies in an underground evil/hallow dropped their souls at a less common rate. Maybe I'm running on outdated information? IDK.
I think souls only get dropped in specific areas. Even though you may encounter the same enemies, the different is like night and day. You either kill 100 enemies and get 5 souls, or you move a bit and get a soul from each one of 100 enemies. my tip: Farm close to hell. That’s where the droprate is the highest one.
That early game knockback resistance is a game changer.
4:26 I also don’t know if this is an actual mechanic in the game, but yes, spider biomes seem to spawn more frequently in the ice biome. They will also NEVER spawn in the jungle biome (this one I’m almost certain is true as I have never seen one in the jungle in my 2.5k hours of playing).
I have seen one on the edge of the jungle
mostly at the edge of ice biome
Strange, I think I've only seen one in the ice biome once. I think the spawn rate is about even apart from jungle and maybe desert.
@@bigmonkey1254 it may just be a matter of seeing what I want to see, but I’m fairly sure they spawn more often in the snow biome.
@@wubberson4450 I have a strong feeling they do yeah, on 2 seperate runs years apart I was digging in the snow and found the nest, it's the reason I only visit the underground jungle and desert
Quite a few new tricks to add to my arsenal, thank you :) Regarding the Graveyard biome, I'd like to add 2 things: - You need Ectomist to craft one of the best early game tools ever: The Gravedigger Shovel. Especially if you're playing a For The Worthy or Legendary seed, it's amazing, since they dig up 'soft' blocks in one scoop in a 3x3 area - In order for Abigails flower to spawn, you just need a the gravestones (no biome needed), and grass blocks within 10 (5? I forget the exact number) blocks of it. So you can place gravestones and make like a 10x10 grass stripes around it to increase your chances of it growing Another unrelated overlooked strategy: - Worm-type enemies (including regular worms, sandworms, and Wyverns) can not spawn if you are standing in front of player-placed backgrounds. So if you get harassed by wyverns when fishing in the sky, just place background walls in a area behind you, and you're good to go Edit: This is also the reason, that when you go down into a Desert Pyramid, you're never harassed by worms while inside, since pyramid walls naturally count as player-placed background walls. (You can just make houses in there, but the NPC spawn rate on pyramid background is drastically reduced)
literal godsend if you're going to snow or jungle biome and even hellstone mining
WHAT? Theyre not called "SILVERTHORN"??? Ive been playing since 2014. Ive been living a lie. My whole world is shattered
Same dude. I was DEVASTATED when i found out they're not called "silverthorn" 😭😭
I'm sorry... Copper armour exists??
yep
I memorize it because of the bun
holy, there's a lot in this video that i REALLY wish people knew, but i still miss you pointing out that you can get water candles before skeletron, which can be great for farming in the early-game
how to get water candleeeee without crystal ball
@@JibrilPC this comment is a month old but you can just grab them out of the surface dungeon
@@multigrandmarquis yeah ut you can only go down before underground starts and its luck basef
@@JibrilPC probably why it wasn't included in the video
great for farming what (nothing)
The quality of these newer videos are great. Plus it's got original and helpful ideas. I think the future is bright for this channel
Another tip for eater of worlds is to get spike balls from the goblin tinkerer or goblin invasion. Toss them around the arena and you can shred the eater of worlds in less than a minute.
my personal fav is Ball o' Hurt, then grapple down and just hold your mouse. you can still die if ur survivability is bad, but if you have 300+ hp and 15+ defense, you'll be fine.

Gotta say this was great. Love to see people talking about hardcore in tips and tricks videos but just a quick side note: npcs only drop graves when there is a hardcore player in the world and the old ones army accessories don’t stack so damage increase is maxed out at 1 of them
and the old one's army armor sets showed off are post golem since that is when the tavernkeep sells them, despite him saying that its post WoF
I can confidently say these are the most unique and still helpful tips I’ve never heard before. Super big props to make a full video of tips that haven’t been done a million times.
The part about OOA is legit what I've experienced just recently. I've forgotten about this event being even a thing during my no craft legendary mode playhtough. In short I ain't skipping this event anymore. This was a lifesaver. Legit. Crystal Assassin armor compared to Squire one is not even close. It was also the only reason how I actually killed Plantera.
Shhhhh, don't let the people know or Relogic will nerf it
What's OOA
@@notmetagaming Old One's Army
@@notmetagamingthis is exactly proving the point, people overlook it because they think sentries aren’t good, but if you actually have a sentry based loadout they are insane
@@bobosaurus331 oh I was new when I wrote that lol I actually always fight deerclops early to get his little sentry, it's not the best but the extra dps always helps no matter what
Man this is great content! Glad to see more terraria youtubers coming onto the scene.
✍️ I am going to take over the scene 🎬 humbly 💋
Wires aren't visible in For The Worthy
they are visible post skelltron
For the boss heart strat I actually use King Slime since he teleports to you and can be summoned at any time, so if I run out of pre-placed hearts I can do it mid-combat. Slime Crowns are also less obnoxious to obtain if you have ruby gemcorns already, and once you leave pre-hardmode gold and platinum isn't useful for a lot else anyway.
Lots of things here I already knew, but also a lot that I didn't! Like for example the string; I knew I could craft them for easy reforges but it didn't occur to me to dye them. And I knew animals were easy money but it never occurred to me to cook them first. Very nice tips!
In a graveyard biome, you can also craft a panic necklace with a band of star power and a life crystal or craft a band of star power with a panic necklace and mana crystal. (Both recipes require ecto mist and tinkerers workshop)
i recently discovered your channel, and i have to say that is dope bro, keep the good work 👌
As a summoner main, I really like the tavernkeeper seling the cracked armor and sentry, they help me so much throughout the game alone
yea that's the whole point of that npc/event in the first place
I like how the unbalanced armors from OOA actually balance the event because no one ever wants to do it
@@darkdragonpl92293 hours to become overpowered for mech instead of getting ready to fight plantera is maybe worth it depending on situation
Sad the accessories don't stack extra sentries
This is the first video I've watched from you and I have to say your editing is crazy good. makes me really engaged with the content while also giving useful information to boot. I've been playing terraria for like 10 years now and you still learn something new every day.
"Forward facing Wild lmao isn't real, it can't hurt you" Forward facing Wild lmao:
I'm consistently impressed with your videos. great content, great editing, love it
I'm glad you talked about gladiator armor. I'm a newish player and when I start a new world I always find a marble biome and farm the armor and javelins. In classic I did an entire playthrough in pre hard mode with just that and a legendary gladius lol it was very fun
Extra tip with the aqua scepter (and golden shower), they are absolutely busted on the old one’s army. With infinite pierce, high damage, and high range, it is perfect.
"And now you will notice that the grilled squirrel actually sells for 22 silver, _four times_ the amount for the same exact item" This truly is a Das Kapital moment.
Using a tavernkeeper armor while being mage or range is really good since you can put lots of turrets, use a summon, and a main weapon all at once
The t3 tavern armor is amazing for endgame, especially the melee one That got me through all of Master mode, and helped me kill Empress during the day before even starting moon lord
@@CunnyMuncher the lunar portals are amazing with the tavern sets
Great video with a bunch of useful tips, also love the occasional spelunky background music :))
Enjoyed this video a lot, both your tips and your style! I hadn’t know many of these and plan to try em next time I start up a game, thanks.
my fav strat was explosive bunnys oneshotting all the bosses
"ew, why mine for copper? It's boring" "Watches, get your tin and copper watches here!"
Certified WildLmao classic
Very cool tips, especially early game. Appreciating the effort put into the editing as well.
A useful thing that I always craft in the graveyard biome is the Gravedigger's Shovel, very useful early game for digging sand, dirt, mud, silt, slush, etc. You can dig through the jungle and mushroom biomes very fast. Also not bad in damage, I find totally worth it!
You are legit so underrated. By far you have the best commentary/editing compared to the other terraria channels .
Whoever made this thumbnail art is cookin' 🔥
Wow, genuinely fantastic video. Super helpful, lots of original and creative tips, and really entertaining :) Love it
I found ur channel like a week ago and omg ur amazing!!! I watch ur videos and im like holy cow how dis man still only at 19k!! hehe nearly 20! 20k boys!!
Reminder that the Gravedigger's Shovel works on mud and snow, which makes early-game jungle and snow biome way easier, and For The Worthy makes the gravedigger's shovel mine said blocks in one swing
My mind unironically has been blown. The heart stacking strategy by killing a bunch of EoC before a harder boss is so smart
I have so many hours in Terraria and still some strategies suprised me nice video man!
Here's a tip I think literally no one uses aside of me The Staff of Regrowth gives you multiplied drops of herbs with a chance, which is useful for farming them in harder difficulties where you _need_ potions. It can give you up to 2 herbs and 5 seeds this way But the best thing about it? You can harvest a herb that isn't blooming and still get full drops, both the herb with the same multiplier and the seeds, with the same multiplier as well. Though it does require you to plant your herbs on just blocks instead of planter boxes, it's very much worth it. Plus, it looks much nicer. So stop using planter boxes and pots if you have a Staff of Regrowth, plant your herbs on blocks, and harvest them earlier when they're not blooming yet. This makes it so: - You don't need to wait for day for Dayblooms or night for Moonglows - The Shiverthorns are harvestable much earlier (normally they just bloom after a long time they've matured, essentially just being additional grow time) - You don't need to die of old age while waiting for it to rain to harvest Waterleaves - You don't need to wait until the Blinkroots randomly bloom (because they literally randomly bloom) - You don't need to wait for the short period of time that Fireblossoms bloom - And best of all, you don't need to have a Full or Blood Moon to get seeds from your Deathweeds
Oh dude, the idea of fighting _IN_ the ocean with the turtle mount is something I haven't even thought of! I wonder how it would fare against Duke Fishron, replacing movement accessories with damage and/or defense accessories.
Well this a good time to unveal the most secreat unknow method and it is: Using the old one army's weapons
If you make a video like this one again, I think it'd be helpful to have the 'crafting station' and the 'materials needed' listed for the items that apply. Other than that great video, learned lots of new stuff and things!
Your strategies are intriguing. I wish I knew about this stuff a long time ago.
5:39 yesssss. Finally someone does what i do. Best armour up until the corruption boss in my opin
2:43 actual goated transition
6:00 as someone who played summoner for a long time and is used to that low def lifestyle, I will always choose cactus armor for early game because 15-45 dmg is insane. Also, I want to note that my brother also preferred cactus armor over other options available to him.
you also only need an axe to mine it, so as long as you have a decent weapon, say a revolver or the rifle version, which you get for free in the evil biome, you can make some decent armor and weapons from it
The animal : He just standing near the cooking pot right there.. MENACINGLY😂😂😂
Apart from being bombarded with dumb jokes/memes/sound effects every five seconds, it's quite a good video
this editing matches my chaotic energy, great job
Really entertaining and informative video, the only critique I can give is that the timestamps are pretty messed up but that ain't even the videos fault so hell yeah brother keep up the good content
Lolol yeah I didn’t add any of those idk what KZhead did
I've always used watches for the bonuses, but never thought of white strings since I never played yoyo. So, thanks for the tips!
I hate how so many people hate the old one's army. The loot is good, the weapons are gimmicky and some seriously needs a rework to be good. But the accessories are great for a summoner. The scarf is a MUST for the visual part alone, goes perfectly with the moon necklace as a werewolf. And the armors are actually good as you showed. You get additional sentries and with the set bonus for sentries, it makes them actually rather good. The mage makes the flameburst's range 50% longer and 40% faster projectiles. The lightning armor bonus is good for the lightning but even just the lightning alone is good. Place a few high platforms and place them there and they cover the entire area around them. Dealing constant damage to any flying boss you encounter. And the second set of armors has the dark mage set which has one of the coolest hats in the game, a tilted top hat!. Even has a little blue spirit flame. What's not to love?
I ain't sure about making a cooking pot out of lead, chief, lmao
USE BLUE SHROOMS. I made a massive shroom farm and it just earns me away from keyboard money. It uses poison dart traps, a rail with bounces at the ends (you can hit it with a hammer to do this). And you just have a cyan pressure plate that gets hit with the poison darts to trigger the traps again. It’s awesome.
Bro mentioned all tricks he learnt through all of his challenges and videos he made before What a long journey, every day we learn something new and it keeps going with Terraria
I've been playing this game since 2011, and still learned some useful things here. Now that makes a good video :)
Shorter video to your amazong standards, yet we still get 16 minutes of good content
one thing I found for dealing with vultures that works pretty well early on is putting your back up against a 3 block high wall or pillar and attack upwards with a fast melee weapon, it's very unlikely they'll be able to reach you unless you knock them too far to the side because of a crit, but at least you can get rid of them waaay easier if you have to kill them :)
As a summoner main, I appreciate the mention of Old One's Army armor. I am disappointed in myself that I haven't been using this.
There is nothing simple about Terraria. From the second you make a new character and start a new world you are going to die if you don't know what you are doing.
I feel a really underrated tip is the invincibility frame that shield of cthulhu gives when you ram into an enemy as against duke fishron, the final phase becomes free
12:36 I couldn't agree more. You have my respect, soldier.
For 14:15 I use a single block hoik platform with a pressure plate and a hook. You point the hoik platform towards the pressure plate one block apart and hook yourself roughly below the platform. You'll start going back and forth really fast and activating the pressure plate. And if you wanna farm enemies you can use a flail (flaming mace is really easy to get) or summon to rapidly kill them. It doesn't require shimmer nor finding a specific type of trap and the "hardest" part is knowing how to set up a single block hoik platform which doesn't take you more than a 1min google search.
3:40 Personally, i think the jungle is the best place to go IF you are good enough not to die. Getting access to the blade of grass, boomstick, and other jungle stuff eatly on will really aidin you exploration of things like the snow biome, and corruption/crimson. Going to the jungle early game is high risk, high reward, both worth it if you can manage to survive (you just need patience to survive the jungle really) but snow biome is definitely my second destination for sure
the first tip was so funny but so good. gonna use that next game
I will say that the OOA sentries are pretty good in general, only the ballista is super useful for boss fights, but Flameburst and Mine Traps are very good for farming and invasions, and even the lighting aura is pretty decent at attacking theoigh some blocks.
I cheesed the eye of Cthulhu by jumping above him with the slime mount, and then double jumping right before touching the ground. Also it’s great for the EOW
Damn that EoC heart strat was kinda genius, I'll be using that
I don't know this for sure, but I always assumed that more spider biomes spawn in the snow biome because snow biomes can't have marble/obsidian or glowing mushroom biomes in them (I KNOW that is how it works; the former two require stone and the latter requires dirt/mud) so I just they rolled as spider biomes instead. (this part is speculation). It's definitely a pattern I've noticed as well either way!
im surprised when you were talking about the old man's army armor squire and valhalla knight stuff you didnt mention the INSANE ability of the valhalla chestplate or the squire helmet, that being, the INSANE regeneration buff it gives, like the main reason i always go after the armor is so i can get regen so good i can just afk moonlord lol, the regen really is just that busted
Here's another trick, you can rush to the evil biome and If you don't get bombs from pots you can use hoik mechanics to pass through blocks.
As someone who never mines copper or tin intentionally, I didn’t know that was an option. Always catching critters and cooking them since the don’t starve seed added starving, it’s very easy to always have a stack of food on you. Usually go for the flinx/jungle armor prett early.
Finally, some new tips and tricks you haven't heard 10 times already with some comedy sprinkled in 😅
1:00 good on paper but what are the chances of you having dye trader and dyes in the first night?
For a future video if you have not talked about it yet you can mention how a lot of items sell for more after un-crafting them in shimmer. Stuff like the hardmode ore armor sets (and tools?) and the molten armor sets atleast. They sell for more if you turn them into ingots first
These tips are legit useful and amazing
Actually, there's a special strat with heart statues I recently learned to make them much more useful. There's the cheap version, and the better version. The cheap version, is that you space 3 heart statues out like 50-ish blocks from eachother, and "then" turn them each on with a timer. They only output 3 hearts near themselves, but if you have 3 that are appropriately spaced out, each one outputs 3 by itself, netting you a constant 9 hearts stretched across your arena. The better version requires conveyor belts so you'd need to have already killed at least one mech boss to get the steampunker to buy them. You just stick 3 seperately-timed heart statues on conveyor belts like 50-ish blocks above your base, and they'll produce up to 9 hearts that trickle down into a single spot. Boom, who needs the philosopher's stone when you can have 180 health on-demand roughly every 30 seconds?
For the wyvern strat, I personally always use the chuthulu shield anyways so you can just stand still and dash towards them before they hit you (go underneath the stomach) and then it’ll cycle around, rinse and repeat. I normally stand on top of the sky island building
The edit on his videos is insane
I have 2000+hrs (small fry IK). And some of these I had no idea. The dyed string thing is incredible! And may actually help my situation on Master mode atm
during my first playthrough i built my wof platform out of crimson blocks, which more or less halved the demon spawns (swapping them with crimson), and post wof, the hallow hallowed that same bridge, making hallowed enemies spawn sometimes, but more importantly, hell enemies drop souls of light
You have great humor though hehe. Nice edits and video. Thanks for the tips also -Terraria Mobile Player.
just a tip, abigails flower can grow from hudt a single headstone being left in grass! i got one suuuper early game frim it growing from a headstone left from my first blood moons lmao and Ive gotten 10 more from them just popping up from a few sxartered head stones ive left lol
big ups for valhalla knight armor... I remember before the solar armor buff it was best in slot to use valhalla helmet and legs with solar chest. nowadays I think valhalla legs are still best in slot for the insane 20% crit chance
6:40 if you play calamity, you can try to spawn both king slimes and eyes and then use a ceaseless hunger potion anytime to pick those juicy hearts up any time (it picks up every item on the ground that can be hearts and manastars too) which can be a gamechanger and can be benificial all the way up to SCal and exomechs (yes hearts heal half as much when SCal is alive but its still op as hell) and cheese any boss in the game
Old One's Army's armors need more love, my last summoner playthrough really made me love them and Sentries overall.
The Eye of Cthulhu heart strat is genuinely so smart. I gotta give that a try. 😅
Maybe the real trash accessories are all the friends we made along the way.
I love well edited, interesting terraria videos.
For the tip at 14:16 about making a Mechanism farm early, the alternative I like to do is make a pressure plate track and placing some track down with hammered ends with the pressure plate track touching the wire like he's doing above. Similar as the trick here, but you don't need to find Shimmer.
4:00 an other bonus sneaky tip for early game, collect every pressureplate and trap and sell them. they sell for like a 10 silver its still good early early game money :)
Yeah lemme just cook all this food in my LEAD POT
Yes Gladiator armor is one of the best sets pre-Skeletron, especially for melee builds. Knockback immunity is huge. It makes the boss fights before Skeletron much easier.
8:00 yeah i've got cookies and milk. you in?
