Terraria Thread III

Post » Fri Oct 08, 2010 1:07 pm

What is Terraria? I'd describe it as an open-world side-scroller action-adventure Minecrafty type game. The homepage (which has a FAQ) is http://www.terraria.org/

Post here to share your tales, horrors and building projects you may have.

____________________________________

So I defeated Eater of Worlds for the first time this morning - got a Shadowscale Helmet, 60 demonite Ore (made a new pickaxe :D), as well as 40 or so Shadow Scales. He spawned right after I destroyed a shadow orb, he then killed me and then sought me out at my base. I lost my merchant during the fight, but I think it was worth it.

Nah, but it's a cool thing to mess with.


Anyone want to play Multiplayer? I can host a server if you guys want.

Could you put my info in the OP?

Steam ID is Dark_Lord_Squiggles.


So, should I try to get all gold armor and a demonite sword before attempting to kill the Eater of Worlds, and should I seek out something like Vilethorn as well? My mushroom farms provide enough potions.

I killed Eater of Worlds with gold armour and a gold broadsword/shurikens. Took me some time.

Rant:

I NEVER FIND ANYTHING UNDERGROUND. It takes ages to get to hell, and then I get bored defending myself from those teleporting kangaroos. I've only ever found one chest too.

Are you playing on a large world? Small is plenty big enough for one person.

Yeah, gold armor is good. And I actually prefer using a demonite pick for that fight rather than a demonite sword (it swings faster). Though if you summon it by destroying 3 shadow orbs rather than with worm food, there's a good chance you'll loot a Vilethorn or Ball-o-Hurt for the fight anyway.

And...

For the OP: My Steam ID is mr_e12345

For Dr.D: I'm sure you'd find takers. I'm interested in trying some multiplayer but my participation would be sporadic.

Yeah, I can probably keep a server up pretty regularly, the only thing is I'm not sure what people's progression in the game is, so I dunno if I should open up one of my worlds with hellforges and fancy stuff or just start a blank world.

Blank world, let's see what we can all do.

If someone does get a server going we should start on a blank large world with fresh characters.
Be more fun that way.

A blank large world, with new characters EXCEPT for grappling hooks. Hooks are a pain the in the ass to find.

Is anyone else experiencing severe slowdown, where it randomly goes into bullet-time?

I'll host a server and leave it up all day tomorrow, starting tomorrow of course. I'm downloading something atm so I can't host until that's done.

edit: Mine has been pretty stable in the past, but my internet could crap out of course.

Just go into your router settings and find the port forward option, make sure port 7777 is open. It's simple.

I did this just now.... and my router won't save the option :(

I've followed everything on Terrarias support page on how to get a server up but nobody can connect to me.

I hope real MP support comes soon.

And don't post the IP in here. I've read on the official forums that there are a lot of trolls running around in other people's worlds.

Ok, I have these weapons:

Phaseblade
Ball O Hurt
Boomerang
Flintlock pistol
Loads of shurikens

Should I just sell everything and keep the phaseblade and ball o hurt? The boomerang is useless (ball o hurt kicks everyone's butts), and I use the phaseblade underground. The pistol seems useless too.

with some hellstone bars you can turn that boomerang into a flamarang. Then it becomes win.
