Especially when you consider the Adamantite and Titanium forges require a hellforge to make, and that's required for everything past then, I'm pretty sure.
@@someperson7491 I've beaten both infernum and eternity, and I'd like to say that the soul of eternity is the most overexaggerated recipe meanwhile infernum dog is the most overexaggerated fight, you might think the people with 500 attempts on infernum dog are trying their best but they can't even dodge some of the attacks, meanwhile soul of eternity takes like 9 hours to craft which is the presumed time minium to beat eternity, the only things I'd say are actually difficult about it are the trawler's soul and the eternity mutant fight but you can literally just do the expert mutant, turn on eternity and open the treasure bag.
@@OMGREALDUMMYFROMDVN i know that the soul of eternity isn’t actually all that hard to craft. i’ve played eternity myself. they give you SO MUCH quality of life it basically holds your hand. i’m just making a joke.
@@OMGREALDUMMYFROMDVN Except some of us crafted it before they decided it was too hard to craft (before eternity mode was a thing). That world of mine took 60 hours to complete. Mind you, I was not good at the bosses whatsoever, but still, at least 30% of that was looking for the random shit they wanted for enchantments
I love how many youtubers start their video with an intro or something like "heyy guys this is what we're doing today", but wand of sparking is just like "ok guys you read the title, i know this is stupid but hear me out..."
Since shimmering is relevant here, might be worth mentioning that shimmering any Recall Potions you find will produce fishes to craft Seafood Dinners with, for an easy and consistent source of Plenty Satisfied buffs. Interestingly, that trick isn’t on the wiki. Maybe there’s another better source of Plenty Satisfied that I’m unaware of, but someone might find this useful, who knows.
I was expecting you to plant corrupt seeds on mud and then purify them to get jungle grass. Removes the need to make a seperate jungle biome since you could just convert the corruption to jungle when you were done with it.
i don't know if non-members are able to suggest video ideas, but Some vaguely Nintendo game-inspired playthroughs might be fun to see. Some good ideas to explore, like maybe messing with biomes and blockswapping in TEdit to make Metroid caves, Donkey Kong jungles, a Zelda dungeon, etc. Maybe using the special worldgen of the Constant or Don't Dig Up seeds. Or, of course, simply replicating mechanics from certain games like that one Majora's Mask inspired playthrough. Maybe a Zelda-inspired playthrough to assemble the Master Sword, which is the Terrablade with its components further spread apart in progression. Just spitballing ideas here. i don't actually know how much TEdit allows you to mess around, but Nintendo-inspired playthroughs would perfectly fit the BGM. appreciating the music, once again.
Creating biomes through the spreading mechanic is fastest with a pattern of 9-block squares with the center mined out, then having a honeycomb-like pattern of offsetting the next row by one block. Use the seeds at a junction and it offers the best number of spreadable blocks from wherever it spreads. Not the most useful tip, but I find that I use it more often than one would think. Actually, testing out how much faster it works would be an interesting video idea. ...maybe.
this really gave me skyblock vibes without all the hassle of navigation around a world like that. it'd be interesting to see you do another skyblock-like challenge if you have a good idea for one
for some reason, in every world I have played in tmodloader, I find the sword shrine by the ocean, it is always real, then i dig down from the center, and every time I find the shimmer using that hole
If you wanted an alternative jungle generation process, you could actually corrupt the mud first then hit it with green solution. Depending on how you do it, this might be faster. Mushroom Grass seeds would also purify into jungle grass, though that would definitely be slower.
honestly, after all the metroid references that come up, i think some sort of Metroid content would be well suited to the channel (plus i know i'd love to see it!)
This is actually a really cool challenge, sure it might have been easier but it's a gameplay style you'd never get otherwise, and I love challenges like that. I'd have been tempted to try myself if it weren't for the world corruption issue, that's very infuriating... I wonder why it happened.
I'd say replacing every block with Luminite speeds up the playthrough because you don't have to look for ore, it's everywhere. Instead of going from tier to tier you just mine your way to shimmer, and already have all the ore you'll ever need.
3:06 im watching this while doing laundry and that coin sound scared me because i thought there was loose change causing havoc in the washing machine lol
6:09 When you trashed 1 of the 2 life crystals I'm pretty sure you were lucky and the two spawned right next to each other, but since they aren't supposed to spawn on luminite they both instantly broke by updating the adjacent block. I could be wrong, it's hard to see in the dark I also don't even know if that's how life crystal placement works

Man, I made a random world and managed to find a biome made of Luminite bricks. I thought I was the luckiest cuz I'd get a ton of stone and luminite. Unfortunately, luminite bricks shimmer into other kind of bricks depending on the phase of the moon. I was surprised and dissapointed.
Chlorophyte armour is actually evil against the lunatic cultists, lol. That stupid crystal always attacks the wrong guy! I use ichor arrows and ichor arrows make hitting the right guy trivial, but my stupid armour always spawns that annoying dragon...
I am very thankful for the added Super Metroid details 😂from the first time I saw this game, I KNEW it is heavily based on the Super Metroid Integrated Level Editor (SMILE). And then when I put the Metroid Mod on it, OH, IT FITS LIKE THAT LAST JIGSAW PUZZLE PIECE. It's PERFECT.
You said there is no way you could make a full set in one round of pillars, but if you got super lucky you might get enough to transmute the other 3 pillars into enough for a set for one class, since you can combine one of each of the other 3 into any of the fragment types (I do not care enough to crunch the numbers and see if I'm right)
I've got some characters and worlds corrupted, and after that, I started doing manual backups of the character and world files, I'd recommend doing that after making notable progress or after you close the game, hopefully this helps
Weird that a bulb didn't automatically spawn. I thought the game checked for all the viable spots and placed it in one of them but it didn't work for you. Curious how it was done in the code 24:18 fun fact: heat ray WAS a piercing weapon but that was changed since at this stage of the game there are already too many weapons with this ability
13:14 there was also a way to create a jungle if you were unlucky with seeds: you could place a corrupt dirt block to corrupt mud and then just use a purifying powder. luckily corruption doesn't turn mud into dirt anymore
5:15 thats not true, earlier at 3:05 we can see you get a hook, and you can shimmer luminite into iron, then smelt it, and craft it into a chain, then combine that with the previous hook! (doesn't really matter tho cus you got a hook that's 10x better anyway) (also not trying to be an "uM aChkUlEaY" guy, just wanted to make people notice it)
They're supposed to be faster than pickaxes, but they also don't take into account mining speed buffs, like an ancient chisel or mining potion. So since I didn't have any of those buffs, the drill should be faster, unless they broke that at some point.
"You'd think creating a world out of the highest tier of ore would make the game really easy-" No. Why the hell would I think that in specifically Terraria? You can't even mine Hellstone without a powerful enough tool you're not getting through that Luminite with just a copper pickaxe. At least I have no reason to assume so. Anyway video continue now.
hey bud? why were you shimmering a stack of 1488 ore? 11:16 do you not know that thats a neonazi dogwhistle? gods i hope you don't know. what the hell, dude.
wait a minute, if uncrafting titan pots can give bones, wouldn't that make the void bag pre-boss? You can get a few shadow scales/tissue samples from a failed attempt at the EoW/BoC EDIT: Apparently you just can't shimmer titan pots before skeletron, making this less useful
4:30 From luminite to stone is 16 steps, yet cutting the 3 stone trees would have taken a swing of an axe.
Lol
literally what i was thinking as i watched this XD
Shimmering 16 steps is cool though
@@WandofSparking true... morgan freeman
@@WandofSparking Not to mention those gems could make you some gem hooks, the stone blocks and gemcorns if you got enough could make a gem farm for said hooks
1:47 this would be like using a wooden pickaxe to mine ancient debris, its incredibly offputting
they're just pebbles, it's like using a bucket on lava
Kind of surprising that Orichalcum doesn’t require a Hellforge since Hellstone does.
same as paladium , hellstone forge is just there for helstone bars and obsidian armor , and to be upgraded in titanium forge
Yea its weird
Probably an oversight no one noticed because why would you even try in usual circumstances lol
Especially when you consider the Adamantite and Titanium forges require a hellforge to make, and that's required for everything past then, I'm pretty sure.
