For an extra tip, to understand moment-to-moment how to navigate bullet hells, look at the gaps between the bullets, not at the bullets themselves. We are attracted and move towards that which we look at, so look at the gaps you can clear instead of the rushing bullets
@@lotion5238 Well, I watched a vid a long time ago about how summoner was really hated in calamity. There was a subtopic about them disliking Empress too. If you wanna see for yourself, check around for some video on calamity's whip changes.
I actually think that the most important one is practice, especially watching other people beat the boss. It really does help with how you need to position yourself for certain attacks and I know some might find this very cheesy I think starting off with it is very helpful in fighting the boss since you're going to be practicing the boss in a much effective way than you were before.
Great take! I think practicing and studying other people's fights is also the most important. Kind of applies to almost everything in life, now that I think about it.
i only do this when i'm getting stuck on a boss. i always attempt the boss on my own first to see if i need practice or not, and it gives me a better sense of accomplishment if i do kill it on my own
@@duckified. I do the same and I agree it's the best you try the boss yourself too. Most of the time I manage to beat the boss on my own (although I have not tried the insanely difficult mods), and watch a youtube video to see how other people deal with them.

One tip (That I should personally do more often than I actually do) is ignore everything outside a small 5-7 tile radius around you, expand to 10-13 when the attacks move quickly. It minimizes the amount of attention you need to focus on what's coming and the more you can spend on where you need to go.
I mainly focus on a cone shape that is between me the the sorce of the projectiles, and I try to not focus on dodging the projectiles, but rather on moving to spots that aren't in the line of fire of the projectiles

Glad to hear your input! Your tips are also very valuable, Infernum DoG without the dash keybind is pretty difficult. Thank you for your support and I'm very happy that you will use my tips!
If this does what i think it does then thats an amazing idea, i've had way too many deaths to accidentally double taping while trying to slightly change my position and ramming directly into a projectile lol
@@shadowthephoenix1 it makes it so you can only dash using a hotkey, meaning you can spam a or d without dashing and get pixel perfect positioning. Hope this helps!
@@YARDlS I use left shift for dash, it just feels really natural to me. I loved infernum DoG. My first calamity playthrough was infernum mode, and it was so much fun. DoG took me three days, but it sure as hell was worth it.
A tip I never see anywhere that is HUGE for more fine tuned control of movement is using feather fall potions. They give you 3 options for changing vertical movement: hold up gives full slow fall, hold nothing gives semi-slow fall, and hold down is normal gravity. Allows for a lot more precision of vertical movement. I also like to get a dash keybind mod to give the option to dash without accidental dashing trying to make small adjustments.
One tip that I saw in your video that you didn't mention, is use the slime mount for quick downwards movement. While it's not that useful when you're surrounded, it's an amazing option for getting out of somewhere quickly.
Honestly thank you. I've been playing with my friend and I'm a little tired of getting carried lol. Been practicing offline, and this vid really inspired me and gave me a... fresh perspective. Well put together :)
Oh, wow, I didn't expect you of all people to use W to jump. After the creation of this video, I found out there's dozens and dozens of use jump on W enjoyers. Anyway, it's an honor to see you in the comment section, very glad you found this video somewhat useful!
Alao another tip: try playing summon only, focus on the fight. It might take longer but it will help TREMENDOUSLY getting the pratice needed and the dodge details.
A W jump enjoyer, one thing I like is for some of the fights without a set arena is using the portal gun when dodging because it raises max fall speed and allows you to transfer between momentums just by holding it, props if you also use it use it.
I've been using W for jump and space to go up for around 7 years, though strangely I never thought it was particularly uncommon. Probably because it seemed so natural to me I just assumed that a good amount of people did it as well
I've been playing through Infernum as a rogue and I'll definitely use some of these! The tips aside, the video was really good! :D I'm a huge fan of the simplistic and chill editing style, and I think you really nailed it! Keep it up! ❤
This is very well put together, and I agree with these tips (sitting at around 8k hours). Something that helps me a lot is trying to control the boss. For example let’s say duke is about to spawn his tornados, I will drop to the ground, let him spawn them, then fly up to avoid the sharkrons completely. If you can dictate what the boss does and where is does it, you can already have a plan to dodge that attack and attacks after.
I'm glad such a Terraria Veteran agrees with my tips! I like your methodology, kind of "pre-dodging" in a way, knowing what to do before it happens. Being a step ahead of the boss is really a great way to completely destroy them.
Man I cannot say how much I feel that Bonus tip. The amount of times I've gone back to a boss with my scarlet devil just so they know how it feels is such a nice feeling. Can't wait to do the same in my infernum run.
I couldn't agree more with the 3rd practice method. In the past, I've overcome many no-hits ONLY due to watching someone's video and realising: "oh, i should use this mount here" or "oh, i should dodge this attack by just flying diagonally instead of doing random horizontal micro-movements". To be honest, I've never heard anyone rebinding their jump key in Terraria, so that came as a MASSIVE surprise. I'll definitely try that out whenever I'm hardstuck at some silly goober. Great video though, you should make more videos with talking.
I literally couldn't beat auroracles third phase from the starlight River mod until after I saw how someone else dodged it at that point of the fight so yeah, it can help
Thank you beeleav! I'm a big fan! A lot of people have been saying that they also rebind their jump key in Terraria in this comment section so I was starting to lose hope that maybe I was a bit special in that regard... Glad you cleared it up, that it is indeed uncommon to do so. Thank you for your kind words!
WE GOT THE DM DOKURO CAVE STORY SOUNDTRACK IN THE BACK 🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥 Seriously, though, its good to know it is still remebered after all this time in the wild. Awesome video, too.
Some of the fun comes from finding whatever suits your playstyle best for dodging. I'm more of a vertical type of guy personally so I've always been using King/Queen Slime's mounts (or other modded alternatives) for fast descents. For me, it really complements the wings' upward acceleration and can make for some interesting boss battles :D
Wow! Glad that I helped a bit. Yeah I had to really think about some "unique" ideas or tips, because most people will just tell you to "practice" and leave it there.
henceforce i shall apply these changes into my gameplay in order to keep up with yardis although he is beyond my caliber, i thank you yardis for teaching us your ways 🙏🐐
@@Karaeeeee Best wishes. Although, I'm really not that much better than anyone else, I'm sure many people can reproduce what I do on my channel soon. But, thanks for your support!
The watching video part is actually true, in my Infernum playthrough on Scal and Exo Mechs i literally just looked up a No-Hit and it becomes 100x easier
i never would have thought to bind my jump to w, it makes so much sense, like, when are you even going to press w in a 2d game, maybe early game yea, but dam, it makes so much sense
Honestly, I agree with studying. When facing the Nameless deity for the first time, it took a while to learn some of the attacks myself. But attacks like his uh.. idk what it’s called where he summons a blade and dashes at you, that one, and the attack where it goes suddenly silent and the world starts tearing open and you have to have the reaction time of a fly to dash the opposite direction, I got those dodging ideas from a video on a no hit run of it.
I dont know if it'll work for the harder mods, but I know in vanilla I found a VAST improvement in my dodging ability when I started using mounts rather than wings. Its ESPECIALLY useful once you unlock the infinite flight mounts; with one of those, I breezed through daytime EoL, which had previously given me a ton of trouble
Yep, for Vanilla Terraria mounts are amazing. But, I think in Late-Game Modded Terraria mounts are far too slow to use effectively, with the exception of the Exo Box.
I don't know why but just how you speak and how you arrange your words it makes you sound like your extremely nice person, now doing that deserves you a sub
The key binding is actually a very useful tip. I've used to play a lot of touhou before my pc fried and I think I'm one of the very few people who plays touhou with a ps1 controller. Reason being that analog sticks are far more precise than keyboard keys when it comes to movement, and by configuring the focus key on L trigger I aways have it availiable quickly without tiring my fingers, also bombs in R analog for fast response as well. Now for terraria I can't wven play mpdded cuz I only have access to mobile right now, I beaten daylight empresz, guess that's ok, but I've used a bunch of post moonlord op stuff though 😂 it was not legit with zenith.
Darn, I hope you can experience modded soon! Completely different experience. PS1 Controller Touhou sounds crazy to me. I really love keyboard keys for movement, but your reasonings are very valid. I actually have a PS1 Controller lying around, so I might try it sometime.
@@YARDlS It must be dual shock model I think, there are simple ones without the sticks, those are not so good to use. I'm not pro or anything though, I don't do lunatic, I cap it on hard on most games. Well, aside from suvterranean animism which not awsys I can beat on hard and have to do normal 🤣
its really hard for me to beat most calamity bosses even just on death mode, mainly because my laptop is horribly slow and i get a disgusting amount of spikes and tons of keyboard delay, making it harder for me to dodge bosses even then, these tips do help a lot, thanks
as a fargos nohitter these are some great tips. rebinding jump is definately a strange thing, i dont think ill be doing it myself but if it works it works lol. great video
Appreciate it my man , always kinda struggled with Moonlord and quit when I never beat them, but surprisingly never thought of practicing outside of the boss 😭😭 (gonna be on my training arc between boss fights fr) Bless you fr 🙏🙏🙏
Awesome! I've always wanted to do death mode dog with my friends but for some reason they don't want to practice the bullet patterns for 7 hours a day????? Anyways, I started trying it alone and this video will be of huge help! Thanks!
Honestly one of the most enjoyable terraria videos to watch and the fact that it was an instructional vid on moving just goes to show how much of a natural talent you have, dont stop making vids because sooner than later i just know that your channel is gonna blow up :)
After being carried through a progression SHATTERED revengance playthrough with a friend. I’m currently trying infernum for the challenge I wanted and am definitely going to use these tips especially the studying one (currently on hive mind right now as of writing this btw that friend somehow got the biome blade and it’s upgrades WAY early still don’t know how)
Oh! I've done the jump rebind for years haha My up key is 'Q' so it doesn't conflict. I don't remember if 'Q' is anything else by default, but if it is, then I've also rebound whatever it was formerly. I've done something similar in Minecraft with the 'sprint' keybind because I feel like 'ctrl' is a bit far-I rebound 'sprint' to 'Q' since it's also right next to the 'move forward' key. (Drop is rebound to 'del', no more accidentally dropping stuff.)
you have two choices 1: view this video 2:become crazy at point you do not touch your room door at 100 years because of simple training (this godamn video help me a lot)
I do all this except the change equipment and practice steps (though I play the same 5 mods every time so might as well be practice...) this explains my random spurs of suddenly being the greatest Terrarian when it comes to dodging for all of 5 seconds and then get pummeled to oblivion the second time that attack comes around or I get some indicator that I actually no-hit for an entire however many seconds it takes for adrenaline to fill... Then suddenly I look like I haven't ever touched a computer before in my life... Good to know I actually have what it takes to no hit a boss once I perfect the equipment optimization step... _And perhaps play the game instead of watching one piece while randomly mashing keys._
To me it just sounds like you have a lot of potential! Really high highs is usually an indicator so. I think it's time to try out Infernum mode if you haven't and give it your all, only if you desire though.
For me infernum was on a similar difficulty level as death mode, but that's because it's a different kind of difficulty that I just so happen to excel at a bit
Awesome video! It even made want to play Terraria again, I used to love it but my strategy was usually "I hope this time I get lucky" when I just needed to get good lol.
I do rebind my jump/fly key to my sidebuttons on the mouse for very presice movements! Happy to see im not the only one that made this change ❤ Another tip i want to add for the nohitters is a practice course of platforms. You dip, hook back to the platform and with a timed jump you will not lose movement speed and 'fly' through the platform or make a lil jump. Keeping your mobility. With nice timimg you can 'force' a boss towards a movement. A cheesy 'dodge' if youd like 😊 This takes lots of practice as not every hook has same speed and lenght to perform it clean during the fight. If the jump is not perefctly timed you will be stuck on the platform. Losing all your mobility. King slime, EoT, Yharon, Fishking, Desert Scourge, Perfeartor worms, and others where you can make good use of this technique to 'dodge' charged attacks. Giving some nice open windows for 'free' damage where you dont have to worry 😊 Having your jump and hook rebound will work very well for this 'dodge' 😊
You say all these things are only things you do, but they make a ton of sense and seem super practical! I have never played calamity but i want to be ahead of the curve when i start :)
Alternative to jump rebinding: use the Witch's Broomstick. Seriously it is far more effective than slime mount, lets you swap your wings out for a more useful item, and is just an overall great item.
I like having my jump key on space bar, since it's convenient for fingers. I don't have to use my middle finger for 2 buttons, but I can use my thumb for spacebar and the other for s. Same thing in Trackmania, I use spacebar for brake instead of s or down.
Good video! It just found its way to my feed and I’ve died a few times to vanilla expert mode WoF as melee so lots of room to improve. I have 2 things after watching this video. 1. Add detail to the terraria world that you’re playing in as the main backdrop of the video. When you showed that course, maybe a graph axis type of wall backdrop, showing distance or even just “please subscribe” in the big stone letters. Maybe a line of blocks that contrast the wall to show your “intended path” through. 2. I think it would help to show more in game examples. I’ve only played vanilla so I don’t know any modded bosses fwiw. You could show one example from vanilla and one from modded where a different piece of equipment could help dodge a certain attack against eater of worlds, or with practice you can have better movement for the pillars etc. Keep it up!
i like the obstacle track training idea, its like boot camp for terraria, just imagine there is a loud drill sergeant screaming at you and/or put on some metal and watch them skills up!
@@YARDlS yeah, it's definitely better than before, and she fells more substantial in a run now, where as she just kinda was there as not much of a threat and didn't leave much of an impression in runs
I actually found this video to be quite funny and very helpful tbh, I never thought of making an obstacle course, for example... even if it's obvious in hindsight. Also, I like the simple editing and the short time you take to get to the point. Keep working on your videos, I'll be here for the future :)
I have ALWAYS used W as a jump key in every other 2d game i have ever played and even after 100~ hours practicing and optimizing stuff while trying to beating expert mode blushiemagic i still somehow never thought of using it in terraria. great tip
another tip is to use dodging accessories like the amalgamated brain or the hallowed armor, or maybe the shadow dodge potion or something (i forgot the potion's name)
I never study repeatedly like you suggest, but I find it a weird trend of mine that after watching a boss fight just once, I become so much better at it the next time I fight it. But when I’m actually fighting the boss beforehand, I hardly improve.
I have similar experiences, I've fought Noxus only ever 2 times, but since I watched others fight it I could do this on my 2and ever attempt of the boss, ua-cam.com/video/qwS9z3BpsK0/v-deo.htmlsi=7LVhpT0Dql5BbL-r It seems like I can pretty well mirror the movement I see others do in my own play, as if I had done the fight in a video I watch, though this only works when the people I watch use similar mobility gear as I would
the best tip I have is try again, I tried infernum DoG over and over for 2 hours while in call with some friends and they got to hear me slowly loose my shit until finally I beat DoG. I then came back later with my post endgame gear and killed him a few hundred times to get back at him
I saw the beginning at first and thought “oh he’s just going to tell me to ‘git gud’, he’s doing the first part of calamitas no-hit. And then you have some actually good tips for bosses! …and then proceeded to say ‘git gud’ at the end. Cool vid tho!
Great video,i started an infernum profile around 5 months ago but i took a really long break of around 3 months out of terraria,so my skill was basically gone but these tips helped a lot for me to get to my old skill,actually.Maybe even better than my old skill,Thank you Yardis
The first tip was to simply take the game not as a platformer game, but as a bullet hell focused game like touhou's. It sounds stupid but it's easier for your brain to process "press up to go up" instead of "press space to jump." It's definitely trickier to do with just basic terraria gear cuz some of em are janky but it helps a ton when you start diving into modpacks like calamity or fargowitas When you get used to it, It works wonders with summoner's build. It's hard to do a clean run when you're playing true melee or rogue but it'll definitely be a lot better, especially against bosses with OHKO moves like the mutant from fargos souls
Great analysis. That's pretty much how I saw it too, I come from a bit of a Touhou background so having my brain process Calamity to have bullet hell movement instead of platformer movement just seemed better for me. And yeah, extremely janky to play with jump on W without good wings LOL
FACE TANK For real tho, swapping w and space is a godly tip. Also you can use projectiles that deal less damage to activate i frames (depends of equipment) to dodge "VIP" or big boi attacks
1:16 I always forget about space being the default key, I actually started playing with W on my first time because the windows 7 laptop had a broken space key, thing is that I never got used to mechanics that had up instead of jump as an input because of this though
the best tip guys is to re bind your dash key to mouse button 4/5 or right click (i use infernum's special boss drop trident, which has a long sensitive dash on right click so i its not a option there i guess) or a key on your keyboard that's fast for you to react and press while pressing ASDW (i highly recommend you don't use space, if you are a souls player on K and M you should probably already know that space is a terrible button for dashing/rolling in games) both calamity and helpful hotkeys have a dash input option
I just saw the intro. I would HIT EVERY single bullet at ONCE and DON'T even ask how that's possible because *I DON'T KNOW.* I mean literally the only way I beat moon lord is because my brother and I took turns being dead and being alive

Tips I considered adding in but got too lazy or I was too bad at explaining it or didn't fit or was too common:
- Play whipless summoner (so you can focus purely on dodging)
- Focus on movement equips (magiluminescence + soaring insignia enjoyer here)
EDIT: FORGOT TO MENTION SLIMY SADDLE AND FEATHER FALLING POTIONS, they add a new dimension of vertical movement options.
- Play other bullet hells (Touhou and Undertale for example)
- Join the Calamity No-Hit discord or other communities that chase after Terraria challenges
- Try Fargo's Hyper Mode and humble yourself
- Take breaks often, don't be like me and destroy your wrists and fingers
- Pretend to be good by uploading clips to UA-cam in which you cross-mod and use the Soul of Dimensions to make it look a lot cleaner and for you to dodge way easier (be a fraud like that Yardis guy)

Honestly thank you. I've been playing with my friend and I'm a little tired of getting carried lol. Been practicing offline, and this vid really inspired me and gave me a... fresh perspective. Well put together :)
Glad I could be of help! I used to be the "noob" friend too, if that draws some inspiration.
"Rebind your jump key to w"
...WHY DID I NEVER THINK OF THAT
thank you! this was actually super useful, I thought I was the only person that rebinded their jump to W key, glad to see I'm not the only one hahah!
Oh, wow, I didn't expect you of all people to use W to jump. After the creation of this video, I found out there's dozens and dozens of use jump on W enjoyers. Anyway, it's an honor to see you in the comment section, very glad you found this video somewhat useful!
Alao another tip: try playing summon only, focus on the fight. It might take longer but it will help TREMENDOUSLY getting the pratice needed and the dodge details.
FINALLY. the 🐐's secrets are revealed.
buddy… you are NOT as big of a Yardis fan as I am… stop trampling on my territory you amoeba level organism. 😾
A W jump enjoyer, one thing I like is for some of the fights without a set arena is using the portal gun when dodging because it raises max fall speed and allows you to transfer between momentums just by holding it, props if you also use it use it.
Oh yeah... I forgot that's even a thing! That's a great strategy as well, going to have to test it out sometime.
Bro I actually have been using W as my jump key and Space as Up ever since I started playing the game 6 years ago. Finally someone I can relate to!
If you look in the comments section, there's dozens of us! I too swore I was the only one!
I've been using W for jump and space to go up for around 7 years, though strangely I never thought it was particularly uncommon.
Probably because it seemed so natural to me I just assumed that a good amount of people did it as well
I've been playing through Infernum as a rogue and I'll definitely use some of these!
The tips aside, the video was really good! :D
I'm a huge fan of the simplistic and chill editing style, and I think you really nailed it! Keep it up! ❤
Thank you for your support! I hope some of these tips are truly helpful for you. Comments like these really help me keep up on the youtube grind :)
This is very well put together, and I agree with these tips (sitting at around 8k hours). Something that helps me a lot is trying to control the boss. For example let’s say duke is about to spawn his tornados, I will drop to the ground, let him spawn them, then fly up to avoid the sharkrons completely. If you can dictate what the boss does and where is does it, you can already have a plan to dodge that attack and attacks after.
I'm glad such a Terraria Veteran agrees with my tips! I like your methodology, kind of "pre-dodging" in a way, knowing what to do before it happens. Being a step ahead of the boss is really a great way to completely destroy them.
but that's boring n stuff going in between the sharks is cooler
@@exquisicy5429at some point shit is so difficult you have to squeeze every advantage you can get. Though maybe not duke necessarily
@@dinoaurus1 yeah for a modded boss with crazy attacks fair but duke fishron is a little sweaty for an already easy to dodge boss
I was just doing an example cause I did not want to think about modded bosses lmao
Man I cannot say how much I feel that Bonus tip. The amount of times I've gone back to a boss with my scarlet devil just so they know how it feels is such a nice feeling. Can't wait to do the same in my infernum run.
Haha, going to be super satisfying to do it to the Infernum Bosses.
I couldn't agree more with the 3rd practice method. In the past, I've overcome many no-hits ONLY due to watching someone's video and realising: "oh, i should use this mount here" or "oh, i should dodge this attack by just flying diagonally instead of doing random horizontal micro-movements". To be honest, I've never heard anyone rebinding their jump key in Terraria, so that came as a MASSIVE surprise. I'll definitely try that out whenever I'm hardstuck at some silly goober. Great video though, you should make more videos with talking.
I literally couldn't beat auroracles third phase from the starlight River mod until after I saw how someone else dodged it at that point of the fight so yeah, it can help
Thank you beeleav! I'm a big fan! A lot of people have been saying that they also rebind their jump key in Terraria in this comment section so I was starting to lose hope that maybe I was a bit special in that regard... Glad you cleared it up, that it is indeed uncommon to do so. Thank you for your kind words!
Beeleav, fun fact I've had jump rebound to W for the past 7 years
WE GOT THE DM DOKURO CAVE STORY SOUNDTRACK IN THE BACK 🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥
Seriously, though, its good to know it is still remebered after all this time in the wild. Awesome video, too.
Can't let such a beautiful album to be forgotten 🙏
Some of the fun comes from finding whatever suits your playstyle best for dodging. I'm more of a vertical type of guy personally so I've always been using King/Queen Slime's mounts (or other modded alternatives) for fast descents. For me, it really complements the wings' upward acceleration and can make for some interesting boss battles :D
Slimy Saddle best mount 😎
@@YARDlS indeed 😎
This is honestly the first video I have ever watched to have the Cave Story BGM. Thanks for the tips about dodging tho :)
Tryna keep a wonderful BGM alive! Glad you enjoyed.
the rebinding of jump to w is actually so useful
Glad you think so!
1:10 I've been playing with jump on one of my side mouse buttons for 5 years now. I'm never going back.
i have never seen a video that actually teaches you how to git gud at modded terraria so this is a really interesting and helpful video ❤
Wow! Glad that I helped a bit. Yeah I had to really think about some "unique" ideas or tips, because most people will just tell you to "practice" and leave it there.
Thanks, its useful even now i did the chaging equipment and watching video and it works amazingly ! Thank you dude last road to the 10k >:D

@@YARDlSjust print out every frame and cover the walls of the shrine with them
The watching video part is actually true, in my Infernum playthrough on Scal and Exo Mechs i literally just looked up a No-Hit and it becomes 100x easier
Glad we drew the same conclusion!
i never would have thought to bind my jump to w, it makes so much sense, like, when are you even going to press w in a 2d game, maybe early game yea, but dam, it makes so much sense
thanks. this tip helped me beat infernum mode skeletron with silver armor and the wand of sparking
Absolute beast!
@@YARDlS no u
I might try these later, except the studying part, i like to go in blind because i don't like spoilers
If you're stuck on a boss for multiple days I think that's when you should bring out the studying! Best wishes.

Honestly, I agree with studying. When facing the Nameless deity for the first time, it took a while to learn some of the attacks myself. But attacks like his uh.. idk what it’s called where he summons a blade and dashes at you, that one, and the attack where it goes suddenly silent and the world starts tearing open and you have to have the reaction time of a fly to dash the opposite direction, I got those dodging ideas from a video on a no hit run of it.
I dont know if it'll work for the harder mods, but I know in vanilla I found a VAST improvement in my dodging ability when I started using mounts rather than wings. Its ESPECIALLY useful once you unlock the infinite flight mounts; with one of those, I breezed through daytime EoL, which had previously given me a ton of trouble
Yep, for Vanilla Terraria mounts are amazing. But, I think in Late-Game Modded Terraria mounts are far too slow to use effectively, with the exception of the Exo Box.
I don't know why but just how you speak and how you arrange your words it makes you sound like your extremely nice person, now doing that deserves you a sub
Wow! Thank you for your kind words, and thank you for the support :) I'm glad you like my vibes!
The key binding is actually a very useful tip.
I've used to play a lot of touhou before my pc fried and I think I'm one of the very few people who plays touhou with a ps1 controller.
Reason being that analog sticks are far more precise than keyboard keys when it comes to movement, and by configuring the focus key on L trigger I aways have it availiable quickly without tiring my fingers, also bombs in R analog for fast response as well.
Now for terraria I can't wven play mpdded cuz I only have access to mobile right now, I beaten daylight empresz, guess that's ok, but I've used a bunch of post moonlord op stuff though 😂 it was not legit with zenith.
Darn, I hope you can experience modded soon! Completely different experience. PS1 Controller Touhou sounds crazy to me. I really love keyboard keys for movement, but your reasonings are very valid. I actually have a PS1 Controller lying around, so I might try it sometime.
@@YARDlS It must be dual shock model I think, there are simple ones without the sticks, those are not so good to use.
I'm not pro or anything though, I don't do lunatic, I cap it on hard on most games.
Well, aside from suvterranean animism which not awsys I can beat on hard and have to do normal 🤣
its really hard for me to beat most calamity bosses even just on death mode, mainly because my laptop is horribly slow and i get a disgusting amount of spikes and tons of keyboard delay, making it harder for me to dodge bosses
even then, these tips do help a lot, thanks
Best wishes!
as a fargos nohitter these are some great tips. rebinding jump is definately a strange thing, i dont think ill be doing it myself but if it works it works lol. great video
Glad I could get vouched from a Fargo's No-Hitter! You guys are beasts!
You should at least give it a shot
Appreciate it my man , always kinda struggled with Moonlord and quit when I never beat them, but surprisingly never thought of practicing outside of the boss 😭😭 (gonna be on my training arc between boss fights fr)
Bless you fr 🙏🙏🙏
I know you boutta absolutely beat his ass brother!
Tip 6: take notes from merg and enter your second phase: the silent phase. You will beat any boss hitless.
Thanks for the tips! Starting my first Calamity playthrough soon!
Best wishes and have fun!
How did it go
Awesome! I've always wanted to do death mode dog with my friends but for some reason they don't want to practice the bullet patterns for 7 hours a day????? Anyways, I started trying it alone and this video will be of huge help! Thanks!
death mode dog wouldnt be too hard for me if i had more than 3fps during the bullet hell
@@DarkReaper-oj2nd slow, low end computers are an advantage. use them.
Haha, best wishes! You can carry your buddies!
THANK YOU FOR SAYING THAY FIRST ONE W IS SUCH A BETTER JUMP KEY LITERALLY ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS I DID WHEN J STARTED PLAYING ON PC THANK YOU
I’m right there with you man, every time I load up a new terraria game, the first thing I always do is rebind jump to W, so you’re not alone
I am glad :)
Honestly one of the most enjoyable terraria videos to watch and the fact that it was an instructional vid on moving just goes to show how much of a natural talent you have, dont stop making vids because sooner than later i just know that your channel is gonna blow up :)
Your comment means a lot to me! I'll keep grinding for you :) Thank you for your support!
I think I love music from Cave Story in the background
The bonus tip actually carries.
😎 The only tip that matters.
After being carried through a progression SHATTERED revengance playthrough with a friend. I’m currently trying infernum for the challenge I wanted and am definitely going to use these tips especially the studying one (currently on hive mind right now as of writing this btw that friend somehow got the biome blade and it’s upgrades WAY early still don’t know how)
Best wishes! I hope you have a ton of fun with Infernum :)
Oh! I've done the jump rebind for years haha
My up key is 'Q' so it doesn't conflict. I don't remember if 'Q' is anything else by default, but if it is, then I've also rebound whatever it was formerly.
I've done something similar in Minecraft with the 'sprint' keybind because I feel like 'ctrl' is a bit far-I rebound 'sprint' to 'Q' since it's also right next to the 'move forward' key. (Drop is rebound to 'del', no more accidentally dropping stuff.)
you have two choices 1: view this video 2:become crazy at point you do not touch your room door at 100 years because of simple training (this godamn video help me a lot)
Glad I was of help!
I do all this except the change equipment and practice steps (though I play the same 5 mods every time so might as well be practice...) this explains my random spurs of suddenly being the greatest Terrarian when it comes to dodging for all of 5 seconds and then get pummeled to oblivion the second time that attack comes around or I get some indicator that I actually no-hit for an entire however many seconds it takes for adrenaline to fill...
Then suddenly I look like I haven't ever touched a computer before in my life...
Good to know I actually have what it takes to no hit a boss once I perfect the equipment optimization step...
_And perhaps play the game instead of watching one piece while randomly mashing keys._
To me it just sounds like you have a lot of potential! Really high highs is usually an indicator so. I think it's time to try out Infernum mode if you haven't and give it your all, only if you desire though.
@@YARDlS I keep forgetting that mod exists and my last playthrough was literally a calamity playthrough!
For me infernum was on a similar difficulty level as death mode, but that's because it's a different kind of difficulty that I just so happen to excel at a bit
Awesome video! It even made want to play Terraria again, I used to love it but my strategy was usually "I hope this time I get lucky" when I just needed to get good lol.
Thank you! I think taking the time to practice Terraria increases overall enjoyment of the game :)
I do rebind my jump/fly key to my sidebuttons on the mouse for very presice movements! Happy to see im not the only one that made this change ❤
Another tip i want to add for the nohitters is a practice course of platforms. You dip, hook back to the platform and with a timed jump you will not lose movement speed and 'fly' through the platform or make a lil jump. Keeping your mobility. With nice timimg you can 'force' a boss towards a movement. A cheesy 'dodge' if youd like 😊
This takes lots of practice as not every hook has same speed and lenght to perform it clean during the fight. If the jump is not perefctly timed you will be stuck on the platform. Losing all your mobility.
King slime, EoT, Yharon, Fishking, Desert Scourge, Perfeartor worms, and others where you can make good use of this technique to 'dodge' charged attacks. Giving some nice open windows for 'free' damage where you dont have to worry 😊
Having your jump and hook rebound will work very well for this 'dodge' 😊
Great input! Thank you for adding on, your information is very valuable. A lot of people underrate the importance of hook skill.
You say all these things are only things you do, but they make a ton of sense and seem super practical! I have never played calamity but i want to be ahead of the curve when i start :)
Hope you have a wonderful time on your first Calamity playthrough!
I like how the last tip is basically just:
"Spite is a great motivator, channel it"
Nice job! Congrats on one thousand subs as well :)
Thank you! :)
Alternative to jump rebinding: use the Witch's Broomstick.
Seriously it is far more effective than slime mount, lets you swap your wings out for a more useful item, and is just an overall great item.
Witch's Broomstick eventually becomes too slow for some bosses, but I agree, it gives you total control over your character.
This was just recommended to me, and I have just started another Calamity death mode playthrough. Congratulations on 1k subs. And 2k. And 3k
Haha thank you! I uploaded this video when I had ~1300 subs, didn't expect this video to do nearly as well as it has...
YESS!! Finally someone who understands that jumping with W is so much better
I like having my jump key on space bar, since it's convenient for fingers. I don't have to use my middle finger for 2 buttons, but I can use my thumb for spacebar and the other for s. Same thing in Trackmania, I use spacebar for brake instead of s or down.
Good video! It just found its way to my feed and I’ve died a few times to vanilla expert mode WoF as melee so lots of room to improve. I have 2 things after watching this video.
1. Add detail to the terraria world that you’re playing in as the main backdrop of the video. When you showed that course, maybe a graph axis type of wall backdrop, showing distance or even just “please subscribe” in the big stone letters. Maybe a line of blocks that contrast the wall to show your “intended path” through.
2. I think it would help to show more in game examples. I’ve only played vanilla so I don’t know any modded bosses fwiw. You could show one example from vanilla and one from modded where a different piece of equipment could help dodge a certain attack against eater of worlds, or with practice you can have better movement for the pillars etc.
Keep it up!
Thanks for the advice! I'll apply it as best as I can.
Wow bro, you're amazing at Terraria! Keep these vids coming, they're the best!
Thanks brother! I'll keep grinding :)
i like the obstacle track training idea, its like boot camp for terraria, just imagine there is a loud drill sergeant screaming at you and/or put on some metal and watch them skills up!
Haha that would be sick! Swear someone screaming in your ear enhances practice.
Just wondering, if you have any particular thoughts on the recent rev+ Plantera rework.
I think she feels more "fair" (no more bouncy balls). I quite like it. I'd say it's a very successful rework.
@@YARDlS yeah, it's definitely better than before, and she fells more substantial in a run now, where as she just kinda was there as not much of a threat and didn't leave much of an impression in runs
I actually found this video to be quite funny and very helpful tbh, I never thought of making an obstacle course, for example... even if it's obvious in hindsight. Also, I like the simple editing and the short time you take to get to the point. Keep working on your videos, I'll be here for the future :)
Haha glad to have you! Thanks for finding me funny :)
I have ALWAYS used W as a jump key in every other 2d game i have ever played and even after 100~ hours practicing and optimizing stuff while trying to beating expert mode blushiemagic i still somehow never thought of using it in terraria. great tip
Thank you! Yeah for 2D movement it just makes sense to use W instead of space.
I like your editing, it's so simple yet effective in my opinion. Subscribed~
Thank you for your support! Glad you enjoy the simplicity of this video, haha.
you just got me into playing the game again damn
Awesome! I hope you enjoy your stay :)
I found this enjoying to watch!! sometimes character matters more than editing :D
another tip is to use dodging accessories like the amalgamated brain or the hallowed armor, or maybe the shadow dodge potion or something (i forgot the potion's name)
with the alchemist npc mod theres 2 potions that come to mind, ninja and blurring, i feel like theres more but not too sure rn
@@gone.777 i think it's the blurring potion, i didn't know that came from alchemist npc, my bad
@@AfterShockz508 all good my man u didnt do nothin wrong
I've often said modded Terraria is like touhou with a crafting puzzle in between bosses.
Completely accurate description.
I never study repeatedly like you suggest, but I find it a weird trend of mine that after watching a boss fight just once, I become so much better at it the next time I fight it. But when I’m actually fighting the boss beforehand, I hardly improve.
To me this sounds like you're a fast learner!
I have similar experiences, I've fought Noxus only ever 2 times, but since I watched others fight it I could do this on my 2and ever attempt of the boss, ua-cam.com/video/qwS9z3BpsK0/v-deo.htmlsi=7LVhpT0Dql5BbL-r
It seems like I can pretty well mirror the movement I see others do in my own play, as if I had done the fight in a video I watch, though this only works when the people I watch use similar mobility gear as I would
the best tip I have is try again, I tried infernum DoG over and over for 2 hours while in call with some friends and they got to hear me slowly loose my shit until finally I beat DoG. I then came back later with my post endgame gear and killed him a few hundred times to get back at him
I saw the beginning at first and thought “oh he’s just going to tell me to ‘git gud’, he’s doing the first part of calamitas no-hit. And then you have some actually good tips for bosses! …and then proceeded to say ‘git gud’ at the end. Cool vid tho!
Haha thank you! At the end of the day "git gud" is kiiiinda what you have to do... but in this video I finally provided people with ways to do so.
Great video,i started an infernum profile around 5 months ago but i took a really long break of around 3 months out of terraria,so my skill was basically gone but these tips helped a lot for me to get to my old skill,actually.Maybe even better than my old skill,Thank you Yardis
Best wishes!
The first tip was to simply take the game not as a platformer game, but as a bullet hell focused game like touhou's. It sounds stupid but it's easier for your brain to process "press up to go up" instead of "press space to jump." It's definitely trickier to do with just basic terraria gear cuz some of em are janky but it helps a ton when you start diving into modpacks like calamity or fargowitas
When you get used to it, It works wonders with summoner's build. It's hard to do a clean run when you're playing true melee or rogue but it'll definitely be a lot better, especially against bosses with OHKO moves like the mutant from fargos souls
Great analysis. That's pretty much how I saw it too, I come from a bit of a Touhou background so having my brain process Calamity to have bullet hell movement instead of platformer movement just seemed better for me. And yeah, extremely janky to play with jump on W without good wings LOL
This was an awesome video! Especially your personality is quite entertaining. Great video!
Haha thank you very much! Means a lot to me that you think I'm kinda entertaining :)
Bashing your head repeatedly into a brick wall also gets you places 😂
1108 deaths to scal sure did make me maybe a bit better lol
Ay nice vid man, I really like the style. Keep up the good work 👍
Thanks brother. I’ll try my best to keep it up :)
FACE TANK
For real tho, swapping w and space is a godly tip. Also you can use projectiles that deal less damage to activate i frames (depends of equipment) to dodge "VIP" or big boi attacks
You being a snowman gave me motivation because I always use that
I enjoy your grudge against my existence! (Also i enjoy your tips:D very helpful!)
You've caused me many days of pain... regardless, I'm glad you enjoyed my tips!
1:16
I always forget about space being the default key, I actually started playing with W on my first time because the windows 7 laptop had a broken space key, thing is that I never got used to mechanics that had up instead of jump as an input because of this though
the best tip guys is to re bind your dash key to mouse button 4/5 or right click (i use infernum's special boss drop trident, which has a long sensitive dash on right click so i its not a option there i guess) or a key on your keyboard that's fast for you to react and press while pressing ASDW (i highly recommend you don't use space, if you are a souls player on K and M you should probably already know that space is a terrible button for dashing/rolling in games)
both calamity and helpful hotkeys have a dash input option
I just saw the intro. I would HIT EVERY single bullet at ONCE and DON'T even ask how that's possible because *I DON'T KNOW.*
I mean literally the only way I beat moon lord is because my brother and I took turns being dead and being alive
I was called crazy for using w as jump THANK YOU FOR UNDERSTANDING W JUMP SUPREMACY
If it's crazy to jump with W, we can be crazy together :)
Cool Cave Story OST choices, Toroko's theme is always a bop
Thank you for noticing! Always awesome when people appreciate the Cave Story OST.
beat death mode calamity and decided it was time for infernum, got humbled by eye of cthulu very quickly so i needed this ty
:) Good luck and have fun! The first Infernum run is special.
W for jump seems so useful.. i play games where W is jump all the time, why didnt i think of doing this here? great video!
Thank you! Let me know if you try it and how you like it if you do :)
I actually use W as my jump key since I started playing terraria back in the day. Can recommend.
Cultured 😎
For the obstacle course I recommend making it out of spikes to know if you would've gotten hit or not.
Someone also recommended Auric Ore because it makes you bounce on touch, but it's quite late in the game.
