My favorite bosses are the bats, because they pester me anytime im doing literally anything underground, and it makes me think red was having a bad day when he added them
@kubaGR8 After certain number of deaths, dying in either mediumcore or hardcore is a run ender. So I will say mediumcore is easier in the early game and after that it doesn't matter.
This was actually a perfectly executed video, with nothing going too slowly or quickly. I also liked that you made the entirety in 1 video because the wait between the parts is always so long. Good work
Here's a challenge idea: Terraria but every time you die, your dps is halved (Would be nice to have a dps meter included to see change over time) Bonus: Every time you die, there is a 50% chance that mob spawns increase (from 1x to 2x to 3x etc) (Imagine that with mediumcore) If you don't like that one, here's another: Terraria but everytime you die, the world shrinks exponentially)
My fav thing about your videos is your voice. It’s the kind of commentary UA-camr voice that everyone should listen to. Not to mention you do videos on one of my favorite games ever, definitely an amazing channel!
Dungeon chest loot generates in order where the first chest is a muramasa (unless the first chest is generated is a wooden chest) and the second one generates with a cobalt shield. So unless the dungeon branches off before the second chest you can always consistently find the shield.
When you build your Wof arena you should make it out of harvested Ash blocks instead of platforms, for two reasons. The wall will try to "average" itself out in the middle of the underworld biome based on the ash blocks present and an ash bridge will help slightly to bring him level, meaning you can ideally bisect him in half through the mouth with impassable blocks which block half his lasers while you can focus on the upper mouth and upper eye, and in the case of this challenge will also protect you from enemies that spawn on the bottom. With the right fenangling you could even corral a bunch of them down there to take up spawn real estate, ideally with imps and bats, since bone worms and imps would still be a problem. And this is just me but I always start from the map edge and try to make my bridge perfectly level, a bomb statue seriously helps with this since you'll be clearing through a LOT of ash hills. Your pick can reach 2 blocks beneath the block you're standing on so you can just make sure the bridge always has clearance under it and you'll never have to worry about lava overflowing, and just breaking intermittent blocks will handle lava slime leftovers. When starting from the edge, I know my bridge is minimum done when I start to see buildings again.
The ash blocks thing ended up being an incorrect point that was left on the wiki for years before being addressed; I'd have to dig because I don't remember the exact creator or video, but it was revealed as such from one of the "weird world shape" challenge runs. The creator found that ash blocks are irrelevant, and the actual thing WoF averages based on is masses at least two blocks thick, of any material. He was having trouble getting the wall to funnel into a killing path, did side-by-side testing of ash blocks with other blocks, and determined there to be no difference in material, with the wall's behavior only changing once the bridge was sufficiently thick.
@LepidoliteMica that's actually good to know, I've been building with outdated info for years lol... I still stand by making the bridge perfectly flat from solid blocks and starting from the edge though. Takes more work but the fewer variables to worry about the better the fight will go. You can use a cavern pylon in hell or just a temporary bed spawn to save on retracing if you die a lot while building.
sockrteez: "I'm going to have to be careful to avoid needless deaths" also socktreez: "I'm going to get into melee range of 10 dudes while I'm low health"
So. The weird thing is, personally in my playthrough with 300x, the mobs seemed to nearly completely stop spawning during boss fights and barely spawn when I had 3+ npc's plus peace candle, and that's 300x, not sure why you were getting so many with 64x. Also, "spawn cap" multiplier seems very...baity. Mobs never exceeded 200, so the big number was there just to be there, didn't really serve any purpose. Doesn't take anything away, just a cheeky moment I'd say
I can't stand the hardmode underground jungle. Even in normal gameplay, I ALWAYS make sure I build a life fruit farm and Plantera arena in pre-hardmode
I wonder how the Rainbow Gun would've done at keeping yourself... Relatively safe, while it was up. IE, protect one side with it and then attack the other side yourself.
Have you considered doing something regarding game speed? I had a bad computer once and played the entire game at half speed, and it was interesting, but maybe the entire game at 2x+ speed could be better as a challenge run
So you just kept brewing Recall Potions instead of making a Magic Mirror? Though I guess the Mirror does have a bit of a delay to it so the Potion is the better option for _fast_ getaways. Thanks for the video.
I mean, the hard engine limit cap is 200 enemies, and you can see this hold true with the enemy counter HUD. So I'm kinda dubious that you really did anything when you said you "increased the cap."
"Is this possible" but it's sockrteez and the video is barely over 30 mins Aka yes it is and either a sh¡t ton of grinding or was just easy, this isnt easy so probably grinding... And dying... And no matter what always fun to watch
alternative title: Terraria but every time I die the fps is halved...
The Cheese Block doesnt like you
Past the mechs it bearly doubled because the mob cap would be filled in milliseconds
with or without frameskip?
I would watch this.
another alternative title: every time i die my computer also dies
-sets up farm
-dies 23.5 times
-farm breaks
-regret
Life loves everyone equally ❤
What’s your favorite boss, Sockrteez?
Cause me personally, it’s the “Moss Hornet.”
27:18
Mine has to be green slime
My favorite bosses are the bats, because they pester me anytime im doing literally anything underground, and it makes me think red was having a bad day when he added them
I really like Grubby, because he is impossible to hit
Tbh I prefer the Queen's Gardens Moss Hornet more than the Greenpath one
The Boulder
Mediumcore difficulty would make this the most painful thing ever.
Now he has to do it in mediumcore. Look at what you've done.
@@halfdemonantman6949 Would this challenge be harder or easier on hardcore
@kubaGR8
After certain number of deaths, dying in either mediumcore or hardcore is a run ender. So I will say mediumcore is easier in the early game and after that it doesn't matter.
@@kubaGR8 a lot easier, just a normal hardcore with 1x spawns
@@kubaGR8 i beat master hardcore as yoyo only with premech duke and pregolem daytime eol, that's still less stressful than a lot of enemies
Thorn Chakram being described as slept on... I feel like a Terraria boomer, I remember when that was like, THE early game weapon. 🤣
Same
Ok hear me out, getfixedboi with this mechanic BUT every unique boss kill let's you negate one death (so halving the spawns)
Maybe a 3rd of the deaths between the bosses?
So you get a little bit of a break, but not a full reset
This is so sick actually
Bro might be cooking
Sockreteez dies due to being reckless
His solution: be even more reckless
The only way to play hehe ;)
Good thing the boss spawns werent also multiplied each time you died. Imagine fighting 64 Destroyers at once.
Or 262144 dukes
This a way better way to do high spawn rates, high spawnrate off the spawn is jussss suicide
0:42 I feel called out 😭
I must pay respects to your 30x hardcore world, love both of ur guys vids🫡
This was actually a perfectly executed video, with nothing going too slowly or quickly. I also liked that you made the entirety in 1 video because the wait between the parts is always so long. Good work
20:26 life drain is an awesome worm weapon! Use it up there too!
Should’ve started at 0.1, would’ve given you 3 deaths until things started getting real and making prhm impossible
You need to hit at least 4 to get to normal rates, what about .5
18:43 did you just kill 3 ladybugs?! Think about the luck!!! Very disappointed in you sockrteez.
20:23 bro is playing Touhou
BAD APPLE INTENSIFIES
Doesn't take a lot until it gets out of hand
Reasons I wish to have a pc lol.
Mods like this is crazy fun till your get to like 100x spawn rate lol
7:03 I GOT MOGGED BY A WORM NOOOO

might lock you out of beating some bosses methinks
The DPS change would eventually make some bosses impossible.
The dungeon and jungle temple will be chaotic
Should be pretty good for getting enemy drop items though
11:38 thanks for the visual...

How people think Journey Mode players should play:
I fricken love these challenges, so happy we get another one for the absolute W channel

If those deaths at the start didn't happen this wouldn't have been a challenge.
16:33 you should have used lava

Nothing changes, socktreez does his favorite job
That looks painful 👍 🦆

Oh I miss the days where you had to farm for the key molds then craft the key lol
Moss hornet has awoken is hilarious...XD
Vampire knives were needed so much they're basically a utility weapon lol. I'd recommend using another weapon for damage, and use knives to heal up.
You have forsaken Worm Gang for the last time, sockrteez
I can't stand the hardmode underground jungle. Even in normal gameplay, I ALWAYS make sure I build a life fruit farm and Plantera arena in pre-hardmode
The fact that bro doesn't use the terra blade in a challenge with hundreds of enemies should be considered a crime
Terra Blade (and the other reworked swords) cannot hit that many enemies at once ever since the rework
Piercing weapons being clutch in this run
This is more chaotic than Supreme Calamitas boss fight
Tip every time you found a biom chesr put torches oround it so u can found it ez on map
YESSSS FINALLY ONE OF THESE THAT ALSO CHANGES THE SPAWN CAP
3:05 teleporting away from the aether is unfortunate
I wonder how the Rainbow Gun would've done at keeping yourself... Relatively safe, while it was up. IE, protect one side with it and then attack the other side yourself.
I have an idea: Terraria but every time you kill an enemy, another one of the same enemy spawns in its place (shouldn't apply to bosses)
If you think about it, this would just be a normal run on hardcore
when i did my 300x spawnrate playthrough over 4 years ago life drain was already goated
Now with Calamity Mod ☠️👍
Great Vid soks!!!
Good video watched it all
this is just normal spawn rate whenever im trying to build literally anything
**MOSS HORNET HAS AWOKEN** 💀😂
2:41 how’d u get that lizard brick
🤔
You are as British as a human being could possibly be
Have you considered doing something regarding game speed? I had a bad computer once and played the entire game at half speed, and it was interesting, but maybe the entire game at 2x+ speed could be better as a challenge run
i wonder when the fan had to kick into high gear lol
do you think something like "every 2 minutes" or whatever timer you deem just right "spawn rate increases by .1"?, i think it'd be kinda cool
Just found your channel! I love your videos so much!!
26:20 Nah mate, I think what was truly beating the shit out of you was the 6 lava dunks you did while trying to "dodge." It was... painful to see.
POV without immunity frames
So you just kept brewing Recall Potions instead of making a Magic Mirror? Though I guess the Mirror does have a bit of a delay to it so the Potion is the better option for _fast_ getaways.
Thanks for the video.
ngl having more enemies allows you to get a lot of materials plus some rare stuff when ur at hard mode
and aoe weapons will be fun to use
You could just make cities, they reduce spawns a lot even with these value like wild lmao did on 30x hardcore
I mean, the hard engine limit cap is 200 enemies, and you can see this hold true with the enemy counter HUD. So I'm kinda dubious that you really did anything when you said you "increased the cap."

I like your previews
His Tone when speaking: ⬆️⬇️⬆️⬇️⬆️⬇️
Genuine question, did you feel like the water candles in the dungeon made a noticeable difference in spawn rates? It looked amped to hell.
Am I crazy or don't sunflowers reduce spawnrates along with peace candles and calm potions? I could've swore that was a thing at some point.
will be watching hell yea
Terraria: Detroit Edition
Terraria but all my subscriber hunt me down as a enemy.
Hi sockrteez, what kind of mod are you using after your review of a weapon? I wanna try that mod in tmodloader
I wonder how the magical harp would have performed with its infinite pierce
If you ask me, this is worse than hardcore.
26:13 Lucky man…
average zerg potion experience
Imagine how easy this challenge would be if you didn't suck at the game...
😶
then u try to do it
This would be a great replacement for medium core!
One minute in, and all I can think of is that one video from Wild lmao about breaking enemy ankles :P (ps, not hating, just saying :P )
Wow crazy that only the jungle pillar spawned
Amazing vid unfortunately couldn't enjoy as i was currently having a heart attack 😢
This challenge would be even harder on hardcore mode 👍
I have been trying to do a 50x spawn rate hardcore run. I'm on attempt 70ish, I'm losing my sanity. Furthest run died to ichor shooter guys
Hey sockrteez do you enjoy vanilla terraria more or modded? this out of curiosity
you should try it on mediumcore next. you didnt need that sanity at all, didja?
average zerg potion user
i looked away for like five minutes and the spawns went to 65k wtf
What is that axe you’re using?
Do the same thing in eternity death mode master mode medium core wand of sparking only sounds easy enough
Imagine doing that on the getfixedboi seed 💀
he continued it
Terra blade will save ur life
... and every time we kiss I swear I can fly
Is there a reason you didn't go summoner? I feel like that would've been your best bet.
do it again in calamity infernum or fargos eternity >:)
I'm going to TOUCH you 🫵🏻
woah
missed chance to do this on calamity smh
