Crafting A Workbench In Terraria's Hardest Skyblock
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 вер 2024
- Skyblocks might just be my favourite way of playing Terraria, and Shimmering Skies is one of the most confusing and challenging ones out there! So join me as I battle my way through not just bosses and events, but the hoops I'll need to jump through and puzzles I'll need to solve just to spawn them in the first place. This challenge is going to take a lot longer than just 100 days!

Textbook run. 0 mistakes. I wouldn't have left hell the first time until getting a mirror and a mace, but that doesn't matter when you luck out and get a mirror on your FIRST mimic kill... and then complained about useless mimic drops... When I did a timing run to get a workbench as fast as possible, I got shoe spikes 50% of the time. With extreme luck and a little skill, you can get NPC's in 7 hours, but with a couple mistakes and bad luck it could take 20. That does not include the time spent AFK'ing for a full desert.
Thank you! That's high praise from the maps creator. I think the main reason I left hell was out of boredom, as killing nothing but lava slimes for hours is not particularly stimulating even if it is the most efficient way to progress. I probably could have got the workbench at around 8 hours if I didn't afk the sand
are you a masochist?
@@constantdemonics Me? Not exactly, I made the map that's torturing people, so sadist is probably more appropriate. Here's the thing though, I've seen concept maps that are far more cruel and unplayable. A skyblock run with no starter tools that requires killing harpies with falling stars during christmas to get blocks exists for example. Heck, this isn't even the hardest skyblock challenge I've made. That would be the secret "no mode" option in Brutal Skyblock.
tdl reference
The thumbnail concept just fit too well
I really like this style of thumbnail, it's simple, straight to the point, and it doesn't overload your senses.
@@sebaq I do associate it with videos with youtubers screaming in your ears, editing that makes sure you never click off, a bunch of filler to pad out watch time, and where you'd be lucky to not encounter misinformation. I guess I just can't like this thumbnail style anymore because of the people who use it.
@@justvictorgd I guess I don't watch that many Minecraft content
@@justvictorgd I hope you find better content brother
Hmm. Yes this is better than wolves in terraria
real,i honestly dont like this in terraria though
Yooo, this is crazy, I remember after you posted the first shimmerblock episode I wanted to try it out, but when looking for the map I accidentally downloaded shimmering skies, me having no idea how to play it just sat at the surface and killed frozen zombies until I got a full set of snow armor before quitting
It’s honestly amazing seeing someone who I truly enjoy watching to do this challenge, becuase not only do o now want to do it, I also know how!
10/10 would recommend ;)
noooo better than slimes 💀💀💀💀💀
ahh another challenge thats just pure pain, I love it
Fr
As soon as you mentioned "secret enemy" in hell, i instantly recalled the trauma that getfixedboi gave me
Very good video! Your shimmer block series is what bought me to the channel, so cool to see something similar! And to claim my moderate ammount of your respect, I have spent 3 years memoriseing the terraria wiki :)
I hope you aren't memorizing the fandom wiki, as it isn't being updated (by people who know what they are doing) anymore.
@@notZabami No, I switched to the wiki gg one for v anilla pretty early on lol. But calamity... thats another story. Let's just say I thought clamity the clam was a real thing for far too long🤣
@@Redence680 good
I just realized at the start of the video he can just shimmer his copper tools for wood and when he dies he can get his copper tools back so those 12 hours for the work bench was all for nothing lmao
That only happens for mediumcore characters. I’m literally the creator of that strategy for skyblock lmao
@@ChiefLogan_ Wait then why did you not play on medium core then? it could've saved you a ton of hours
@matthewmccullough9336 because this map is not intended to be played in mediumcore. The challenge comes from figuring out how to obtain certain items, not from losing your items to the void
9:20 that star really hates you lmao
Woah its like tdl but not insufferable to listen to
what's tdl?
Better Than Wolf
If someone makes a terraria mod inspired by Better Than Wolves, we are so joeover.
@@ItzTerraYT terraria has a werewolf, it will gain another wolf in 1.4.5, So there is an opportunity
@@ItzTerraYTI'd honestly love a mod like that
Yeah but there's a lot more than just wolves coming in 1.4.5 so naming it that is just a forced reference.
Even though I have well over 1500 hours in Terraria, I had no idea you could do all this lol. Very fascinating
Oh good god I love Freedbot's map but it's legitimately evil. You're actually 100% the person that got me to play shimmering skies. Thank you so much for doing a video on it. I know Freedbot will be thrilled!
I love watching people suffer in pixel game ,great video!
Very good video, defiantly worth the wait. I'm interested to see what part 2 will be like. I've always wanted someone to do a video series like this on an extremely hard skyblock, there are some other people who have but i find yours more interesting probably because you made shimmerblock and know what your doing, actually i guess i also had a series like this with terrablock but your videos are better so I'm not counting mine. also the map i was referencing in my comment on your community post was the one i basically stole from kinkoos and made it slightly harder which is way harder then terrablock.
You should definitely count your own! They’re what got me interested in making a skyblock in the first place, then when shimmer came out it all fell into place for ShimmerBlock. I don’t think I’ll want to do and skyblocks more grindy than this, in vanilla at least. I’m excited to see how 1.5 changes the meta though
@@ChiefLogan_ Vanilla skyblock are reaching, if not have reached, the peek, i remember a few years ago that's when there was room for improvement and everyone was jumping on the skyblock thing, and shimmer brought a hole new realm of possibility's same goes with the secret seeds, so im thinking and hoping 1.4.5 will bring large changes which will allow people to make even more limiting and harder skyblocks, i mean we already know meteorite, the angler and some other stuff will be possible in i think every world and progression will be a lot faster due to slimes dropping acorns and such.
Leo Roswell also made super high quality videos with good explanations. Sadly, he hasn't finished the series yet.
@@crawdad105 Knowing what little I do about what's coming, Skyblock is probably going to get easier, not harder. Altars and dungeon supplies will always be available. The potential for interesting solutions is still there, but it comes down to how the first stone and dirt will be available, and at that point, it almost certainly will be a lot simpler than my cruel but interesting methods. I agree with vanilla having reached it's peek. I made a skyblock mod late last year with the thought that it'll be the last chance to make my "ultimate" version of skyblock before it's added to the game officially and made far more accessible to the general public.
@@Freedbot I'm hoping the new update will at least bring things that allow for a more complicated and restrictive world. i was also going to make a skyblock mod with the idea that it fallows basically the vanilla path but has some slight changes to make it slightly easier while still requiring grinding, i didn't get far though, basically all i got was snow clouds would spawn snow then i realized you had already made a skyblock mod so i didn't bother also making one. also not sure if you saw the video, it wasn't linked in your discord server, but Wild lmao made a video of "the Ultimate" terraria skyblock mod, i haven't watched the video but its a similar topic so i figured id mention it here.
Now you should do a video on hardest mod out there taking the down the ks as your objective
I got the mimic question right
As for the wiki question: About 3 hours? Idk, I’ve defo spent more on modded wiki
4:55 well 200 hours of terraria playtime.. hm, probably around 24h
I thought you were gonna get the workbench by decrafting swiftness potions
More people making Shimmering Skies content, very cool
Perfect video to enjoy my dinner to, thank you
Great video! I don’t know how many hours I’ve spent on the wiki
Fallen star was INSANE bro😭
BTW, I've spent dozens of hours on the wiki, but I've also never played the remix seed, so I totally forgot About mimics spawning PHM.
i spent 858.7 hours memorizing the terraria wiki
Rookie numbers
I have beaten this few month ago on master but not on legendary mode, so I salute you sir..... honestly the hard part is keeping motivation up lmao. although I kinda cheated a bit using autoclicker to fish while i sleep or went to college....
Won't item drops increase with difficulty? So playing master mode would make things harder for yourself
Let's go, another challenge I can copy from you in 1-2 years when people start to forget about it
Nah but seriously I wish you the best of luck, and I respect you and the dedication
By that time 1.4.5 will have completely changed the skyblock meta, and maps like this will either become way too easy to be seen as a challenge or entirely obsolete by some other, even more terrifying creation (it's me I'm gonna make the creation)
My Bro. My dude. A few people have done videos on my Shimmering Skies map. I have another map and a mod that have yet to see the light of day on youtube. I would be eternally grateful to anyone who "steals" that content.
@@Freedbot Hippity hoppity, could I potentially borrow your property?
@@ChiefLogan_ Well when you make another insane challenge, be assured that I will play it. I loved your Shimmerblock challenge, so I can’t wait to see what you make next
@@CrispyLink Brutal Skyblock is the map I made before Shimmering Skies. Skyblock Brutalism is the mod (and mod pack) I made as the successor to both maps. Both "Brutals" (yes I'm bad at naming), have built in progression choices that change how you play the map and how hard the puzzles are to solve. The hardest way to play either, is to choose nothing. The mod is especially in need of attention so that people know how to install the mod pack and look up the extra mod items in Recipe Browser to read their tooltips for hints.
With content like this, I'm really not sure why you don't have more subs. The absolute garbage Terraria fans will sit through never ceases to amaze me, and then channels like this have
4:54 I may have spent like, 200h on the Terraria Wiki a few years ago, but the reason I know about mimic spawns is due to having about 4k hours in the game :P
Awesome gg
Loved the video 🎉😊
The thumbnail was inspired by TDLMC's Better Than Wolves series, wasn't it?
It certainly was! I gave credit in the description for the inspiration
As per usual, cactus saves the day. Im tempted to do a cactus only run. Am i fucked if i do it?
Yes.
this feels like pain... What is your goal? beat Moonlord? Is that even possible?
I happened to beat terraria for the first time in remix seed yesterday so I guessed mimics easily. And by the first time I mean that I've never beaten terraria except for when I was a kid and mech were final bosses.
That's definitely one way to experience your first full playthrough. How was it to someone without a lot of hours in the game?
@@ChiefLogan_ it was the best playthrough I ever had, and it took 160 hours.
Because everything was dangerous, and because I was playing on mediumcore, I was not eager to rush bosses or doing anything dangerous. So I would instead chill, fish, build and do other stuff I've never done. Except for golf, I'm not THAT bored. The results to taking things slow were great. I got anch shield, cellphone, endless buckets, golden fishing rod, stick of discord and a bunch of other items I never held in my hands before.
I think I made a wrong impression with my comment tho, I've reached moon lord before. I just always loose interest after mech bosses because plantera golem and cultist are too easy for me, and marchians, eclipse, updated dungeon, biome keys and Halloween/christmas moons seemed pointless because you get the best weapons from pillars anyways. And I couldn't beat moon lord because I didn't understand how to fight him and refused to look it up.
My problem all along was the fact that friends shamed me for liking defence reforging and being a tank, as it's for noobs and useless on higher difficulty anyways, and said pro players only do glass cannon builds. And for years i belived them. But this year i came back to terraria and desided to try the defence build. I liked it so much in expert mode I desided to drop my world and go straight into legendary.
Honestly defense builds are so much more fun to me than glass cannons too. Dying isn’t fun
How did the mimics spawn? Are you in pre-hardmode or hardmode since it is my first time seeing a pre-hm mimic
In the don’t dig up seed, mimics spawn in pre-hardmode and drop gold chest loot
@@ChiefLogan_ ok thanks, didnt know that
Thought this was a different channel for a sec
this is good content! Turning on notifications so i dont miss part 2
I spent 10000 hours memorizing 1/4 of the terraria wiki
"100 days of hardcore Minecraft" ahh thumbnail
I swear I didn't memorize the wiki to know it was a mimic I played don't dig up I promise you can't tarnish my name like this
Over a week on the wiki, before I finally got terraria.
Thank goodness the devs said they making their own version
It's what I'm most excited for in 1.4.5!
Fantastic video
5:00 about 42 hours, +- 30 minutes
haven't really emorized the wiki,just browe it and watch videos
Rather than memorizing the terraria mimic, I instead played getfixedboi.
Some of us are scholars and some of us are warriors. It seems you chose the path of war
Any advice to get mimics spawning I don’t have enough rope to get to the underworld and have only found 2 mimics in 20 hours.
If this is other people’s problem I find that extending the bridge with resources from slimes makes mimics spawn pretty fast.
It took 2 minutes for me to get a workbench. I did use mediumcore though.
Is there not a zombie variant that can drop torches therefore, after being shimmered will give u wood?
Unfortunately all torches get shimmered into Aether torches
@@ChiefLogan_ fuck man I was thinking, I thought surely if u could get wood from torches I wouldn’t have said it first
9:21 LoL
Oh no, is everyone going to be doing that now?
How did you get the skeleton merchant on the wiki it says they only spawn in caverns
This map uses the Don’t Dig Up seed, so the layers are all kinds of messed up
many many hours spent looking at the wiki (tho my guess was bc of a wand of sparking video)
Hello Logan!
Im so disappointed in the lack of hunger mechanic 😡
The hunger mechanic mostly just adds unavoidable deaths in vanilla skyblocks, but I did account for it in my Skyblock Brutalism mod. Basically, I just added some junky food from gel that's only good enough to keep you from death, making a hardcore run on Zenith seed technically viable... but certainly still insane. It requires speed and luck to get enough blocks and slimes in time... and I would never play it on those settings. Far too evil.
Exectly how many hours umm I kind of have beaten slime god in infernuim hardcore one hp so ummm about 200 or 300 hundreds hours on calamity wiki and double that for the normal
My Skyblock way harder 👽
Tell me, how long did it take to get a workbench in yours? ;)
@@ChiefLogan_ wildlmao is playing MooMoo's skyblock mod, and yes I know MooMoo. Where my mod and maps focused on minimalism and convoluted progression, MooMoo focused on worldgen and abundance of resources. The challenge factor is just from wildlmao adding other content mods that add mobs.
He's playing MooMoo's skyblock mod, and yes, I know MooMoo. The guidebook code in it is from me. Where my maps and mod are focused on minimalism and convoluted methods to get rare blocks, his is focused on worldgen and abundance of resources. The only difficulty in wild's playthrough are from content mods adding more monsters, not the skyblock itself, and it's still not on the level of Calamity or similar. Don't get me wrong, it's still fun and the worldgen is beautiful.
im trying this run but whenever i get a mimic I GET KNOCKED OFF AND IT DESPAWNS
Mimics can’t fall through platforms, so you can use that to your advantage
@ChiefLogan_ ill keep that in mind, maybe I'll make a small platform so those zombies can't hit me
564 hours on terraria wiki
Not enough try harder
I feel like 10 minutes for a video premise like this is WAY too short.
The problem is most of the gameplay consists of me moving up and down a rope for 6 hours and afking above an antlion for 4
i dont mem the wiki i just play remix a LOT
probably 25 hours
Prob like 20 hours
Ok now beat the game
All in due time
When earth trapezoid?
dirt
couldent u shimmer your tools for copper and than for dir
Since it’s not mediumcore, I would only be able to do that once
if you used medium core you couldve gotten a workbench in like 5 min...
I know…… I invented that skyblock method
@@ChiefLogan_ then why not? ( OBVIOUSLY it’s not because of how hard it would be🙄)
Because that’s not the intended way to play this map
Why can’t why get pt 2
I might why can’t we get pt 2
0 hours.
are you scottish perchance
I am indeed
Just as a bit of feedback, the text size transition is a bit irritating.
Do you mean the subtitles at the start? If so, the text is all the same size
i guessed right
prob like 2 hours
112

can you throw torches into shimmer to make wood from them?
