MORE things you NEED to do before Hardmode

PSA the Bast statue is always on when places. You can power it if you want to be able to turn it off and on.

watching this like i don’t have over 2000 hours on terraria

There's no way I look up things to do before hardmode and there's a video uploaded 3 minutes ago

Bast statues don't have to be hooked to a power source to be active; you can just place them down.

I really wish he had enemies on when he's talking about fishing in the sky islands 7:12 he should talk about the hut you need to make so you don't get killed by harpies.

The alchemy table doesn't have a "small" chance to not consume ingredients. it has a 33% chance not to consume them

Thanks for mentioning the Star Fury! It's so underrated imo, not as a weapon, but as a tool. It is perfect for exploring caves and the jungle since spamming the stars can find open areas and light up all the blocks along the path too. This is something I also like to use the Lunar Flare for, but Star Fury allows that kind of exploration as well.

It will always be the Fiery Greatsword, not the "Volcano"

Not enough people mention once you find a magic mirror, throw all your recall potions into the shimmer. You yet back dayblooms, used for making regenertion, iron skin, archery potions and more. You also get fish back which you can cook for a nice medium well fed buff

Gnomes actually help in arenas as well. Luck increases the chance of a higher damage roll with each attack. A gnome increases your damage by an average of 1%. Not a ton but we've all lost battles where the boss has a sliver of health left.

I make a "train" station right above the cavern level. I complete a mine track across the entire map and make a couple of tracks go down to hell.

Slime, i think you should do an entire series of just cataloging the best way to advance through each section of terraria. Id love to see a video about the best course of action for entering hardmode; I.e - collect tons of crystals or dupe them for money + crystal darts for your-world-evil's dart rifle, dropped from mimics of the respective biome. If you dont wanna dupe, thia can be easily countered by just using your hallow mob farm instead, or bombs. Bombs normally do anything I think this could be substantially helpful to new people.. as, personally, pre-hardmode is a walk, but the few hours between just entering hardmode and actually having decent gear for hardmode is the biggest grind in the game

While the chester is very good for storage management, i recommend using void bag instead ,because it acts as an extended inventory, so you can keep your information accessories in it and use healing potions directly from void bag by using quick heal option and it can also pick items when your main inventory is full, and you can also close it by right clicking

bast statues need to be turned on??? is this true cause i'm pretty sure it's always active

One thing i noticed is that i don't need to grind much in the early game pre-hardmode since i can just farm eater of souls to get the ancient shadow armors. This is what i always acquire before a meteorite will land. It gives a pretty decent amount of defense much comparable to molten armors though. After i acquire a full set of ancient shadow armor, i can finally go head to head with pre-hardmode bosses then even if i haven't get my total max health health up to 200HP since crafting potions are already enough. Great Video BTW 👍

Since you talk about accessories to get before hardmode, I honestly think you should have the Cell Phone. You can get all the items needed to craft the Cell phone before entering Hardmode. However, you can take it a step further. When you mentioned grabbing the Magic Conch, I should also point out that you should ALSO grab the Demon Conch by fishing in lava. Even if you don't have the Lavaproof Fishing Hook, you can still catch the various insects in the underworld (Lavafly, Magma Snail, and Hell Butterfly) you still need the lavaproof bug net (which you just take your bug net and some Hellstone Bars) or even the Golden Bug Net (angler rewards). When you have acquired the Demon Conch and the Magic Conch, as long as you have assembled the Cell Phone, you may use all three items (At the Tinkerer's Workshop) to upgrade to the Shell Phone which allows you to teleport to Spawn, Home (Bed), The Underworld, or both Ocean Biomes.

Personally. Ive found probably 2000 magic mirrors in my playthroughs. Ive found maybe a handful of ice mirrors. Maybe its just me, but i always use them instead as.. i really never see them. So, imo, if you find an ice mirror pre-hardmode.. you are lucky and should smile at yourself

Go for chester if you want, but the pig trough does the exact same thing and is WAAY easier to get You should mention that chester and the flying piggy bank companion both use the same chest for storage (i.e chester does use the piggybank and not the safe for some stupid reason) And that getting the pig trough is substantially easier than getting chrster, as its dropped by most blood moon enemies. Its a lot easier to get, and it takes up less area on the screen, which is great, to me. Less chances of accidentally clicking on the pig when placing blocks or something Bast statues dont need to be turned on, btw :)

Terraspark boots need the lava charm, what i recommend is to go hardmode and kill lava bats to get the magma stone (2% drop rate). Then find the shimmer and transmute the magma stone into lava charm. This is a much better way than fishing in lava because it's really slow and annoying

I always get the shellphone before Hard Mode Ask your questions
