Solo Three Bosses AT ONCE~! #EPIC

Several Terraria 1.1 Features Revealed!

Right now, Terraria is at version 1.0.5, which introduced potions among a bunch other stuff. A while back, a developer blog post revealed that version 1.0.6 is coming with better inventory management. It seems that the company behind Terraria, Re-Logic, has its own story to reveal: A glimpse at Terraria 1.1! ^^

I don’t want to give too many spoilers, but there are going to be a series of events that add several new ores (yes, cobalt is one of them), a new biome that we’ve dubbed as “the anti-corruption,” and at least one new boss. The entire world will be put in to hard mode, and fighting back the corruption will be a lot more involving/rewarding. You’ll probably want to avoid this unless you don’t mind the possibility of your town being destroyed during invasions. >:|

My overall goal for 1.1 is to add a lot more character/world progression and provide some actual end game content. Hopefully after seeing how it turns out, you guys will cut me a bit of slack for the rocket boot change, haha. This is all quite a ways out, though.

New Ores! Which means new Armor Set, and probably a Weapon Set! A new biome to explore and AT LEAST one boss! New boss means at least another set of armor/weapons. Also, End Game Content! At last something better to do than slaughtering zombies!

I'm definitely excited about these changes. Any thoughts?

I've got a House. Now what?!

"When in doubt: Dig." ~Survival 101


Terraria Armors by *deadinsane on deviantART

You've got a house! (If you don't, here's part one of this Survival 101 posts) What now? You need to prepare for the Corruption by upgrading your ARMOR!

Q: What's the corruption? It's a Biome that spreads wherever there's an abundance of Ebonstone. Normally, each Terraria world have two Corruption Areas, one on each side of the map. The normal spawns are replaced with nastier Eater of Souls and Devourers, thorns grow in the land and only the higher tier pickaxes can mine Ebonstone.

Q: Why would I go there? Two things: Shadow Orbs (contains treasure) and Demon Altars (can create boss summoning items, which drop treasure.) Also, the high spawn rate of monsters there can be quite profitable. So, let's get to it~!

1.) The first step is to get the Merchant NPC. Just build another house, preferably connected to your first one (The guide's house). Don't forget the furniture (Chair, Table and Light Source) as well as the walls. Now, while we're waiting for the NPC to spawn..

2.) Stock up on gels and wood. You're gonna create a bunch of torches and a ton of wooden platforms, so chop down those trees! Kill those slimes! Try to plant some acorns too so that you won't run out of wood.

Q: The Merchant won't spawn! If you have built your house correctly, then you'd just have to be patient. He won't spawn when you're near (NPCs are shy), so let's just continue to the third step!

3.) DIG!

Q: What? DIG!
Q: Really? Yeah! It's easier to dig down near your spawn point for easy access, but here are a few things to looks out for:

• A steam engine-like sound. That's a Giant Worm. Many characters have died to this beast, but here's a technique to help: Don't try to follow it. Instead, stand your ground and don't stop swinging your preferred weapon. This will lure the worm to you, and hopefully you'll bash it's fragile head in when it shows up.
• Pots. They contain coins and BOMBS. These are very useful in sticky situations. speaking of sticky situations: Bomb + Gel = Sticky Bomb.
• Chests! These are quite uncommon, so keep an eye out for these. Also, red stone hearts will increase your total HP, if you've got a hammer to chisel it out.
• Ore! We're aiming for Iron and Silver. Copper is not really a good upgrade since I found out that silver is a lot better. Try to get the Gold Ores too, but don't expect to craft armor out of those anytime soon.
• And last but definitely not the least: Cobwebs!

4.) When you get at least 50 Cobwebs, find a nice level ground preferably near a resource such as glowing mushrooms. Build yourself an outpost, which will serve as your secondary respawn point when adventuring near the area.

You can build a bed (respawn point) by creating a workbench, then turning your 50 Cobwebs into 5 Silk, which can be crafted into one bed. Don't forget to right click the bed to set it as you current spawn location.

Q: My Merchant has "moved in"! Yey! Journey back to the surface then! Here's a checklist of things that you'd craft:

• Workbench (reuse your first one if you can.)
• Furnace (20 Stone Blocks + 4 Wood + 3 Torches)
• Buy an Anvil from the Merchant, or craft one if you think you have excess Iron Ores (15 Iron Ores to 5 Iron Bars to 1 Anvil)
• Your priority is Iron Pickaxe (36 Iron Ores to 12 Iron Bars + 3 Wood) and an Iron Broadsword (24 Iron Ores to 8 Iron Bars). Save your more precious ores for Armor.
• If you have a lot of Silver Ores (300, to be exact) you can skip the Iron Armor upgrade and just smelt 300 Silver Ores into 75 Silver Bars, into a full set of Silver Armor.
• Iron is a lot more common than Silver. You only need 225 Iron Ores for a full set of Iron Armor.
• Try to create a Gold Pickaxe or a Gold Broadsword / Gold Bow if you have enough Gold Ores.

5.) If you don't have enough ores, just go down to your underground outpost and start digging. When you have decent armor and weaponry, we'll head out to the corruption!

Ok, that's it for this post~ A very long one at that :( Anyway, see you tomorrow!

The "Berserker" Build

Muramasa
Shadow Helm
Shadow Armor
Shadow Boots
Feral Claws
Feral Claws
Cobalt Shield
Obsidian Skull / Band of Regen
Obsidian Skull / Band of Regen

The Berserker Build relies on its insane attacking speed plus the fact that the Muramasa swings like a pickaxe: Just hold the mouse button and it'll go slashing. This is one of the very first sets that becomes available to a player in Terraria. Shadow Armor is fairly easy to get and only the Muramasa poses a significant challenge to acquire.

The build already has max attack speed, but the average defense values of the shadow armor needs a bit of help through Obsidian Skulls and/or Bands of Regen. Also, since you'd need to get to slashing range the Cobalt Shield will protect you from knockbacks.

Building the Set

The Shadow Armor set is one of the easier sets to build- I got it right after crafting the Silver Armor. You just have to kill the Eater of Worlds once, which will drop a piece after dying plus a bunch of Demonite Ores and Shadow Scales. Smelt the Demonite Ores into Bars, then combine with Shadow Scales to craft the remaining pieces.




The Feral Claws can be founf in the underground Jungle- find your world's jungle aboveground, then dig straight down. You'll begin seeing "Shrines" made of Bricks with a single chest inside. On one of those chests is the Feral Claw.

Obtaining the Muramasa is going to be chore: Step one is to defeat Skeletron. Then explore the dungeon, one of the chests within is going to contain the sword. OR you can do this:





The remaining accessories are fairly easy to obtain, and mixing and matching them would be up to the individual player. The Cobalt Shield and the Bands of Regen can be found in Dungeon Chests, while the Obsidian Skulls needs 20x Obsidian pieces each.

Using the Build

Using the Berserker Build vs. the environment is overkill. Blood Moons and Goblin Armies will be annihilated by this build, and the underground, dungeon, jungle and even corruption creeps is no match against it. Hell creeps will prove more resilient, but once you get close and personal they'll die too.

Against boss monsters on the other hand is another matter. Both the Eye of Cthulu and Eater of Worlds can be killed easier with a ranged weapon, and there are better builds for fighting with ranged weapons. The Skeletron is doable, but you'd need stacks of potions since you're at sword range and will be constantly taking hits.

But this build shines the most on PvP. With a proper strategy to compensate for your lack of mobility, its easy to chop players with this build's insane attack speed. You can modify the accessories for a bit of mobility with Rocket Boots or Anklet of the Wind while sacrificing defense, just make sure that the Feral Claws and maybe even the Cobalt Shield remain equipped.

I guess that's it for the Berserker Build~ Until next time guys, peace out ^^
