You can modify the method to your liking. I'll take a pic of mine.

You don't have to fill the water like he does in the video. Just block the source and continue with the lava. The lava will take care of the water itself. This will save time using his method.

I think I found the underground jungle. What's the ideal gear to have before I plunge in there?

I have full copper armor, and a gold sword.

The wiki recommends high end armor before going in there. Its the toughest part of the game. here is my obsidian farm pic: http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k73/Bonemonster/obsidianfarm.png

Anyone know if this game is going to get updated with new content like new armor/bosses?

On the Steam page it lists the following 'key features' of the game:

Sandbox Play
Randomly generated worlds
Free Content Updates

So I just pwn Skeletrons face and cleared out his dungeon. I found lots of cool stuff like a Cobalt Shield and a Murasama! Lots of money too. Soooooo much stuff that I ran out of inventory. I think I'll start a new small world and go through it again once I clear out the Jungle area when I find it. I also haven't defeated the Eater of Worlds yet either.

I'm playing Terraria. I've made a silly house and I'm chopping trees. It feels exactly like Minecraft, but 2D!

I've also read the http://terraria.wikia.com/wiki/Starter_guide on the Wiki. Any other tips from you guys? Why am I seeing the same MC regulars over here too? :P

I found him yesterday, I stumbled upon pink stone, I managed to mine 3 of them, then I got oneshotted by his head, it damaged me for 9995 damage. :/ then I quit.

Some tips:

Put your doors so that there is a drop-off between it and the outside. Enemies cannot open these because it is outside of reach. 1 block drop-off will do.

When mining Hellstone or Meteorstone , constantly swing your pick to deflect fireballs/Meteorheads. A quick way to dispatch of meteorstone is with dynamite. If there is less than 50 meteorstone left, the Meteorheads will stop spawning.

If you find a Magic Mirror, always keep it with you. It will teleport you back to your spawnpoint when used and it doesn't run out.

Short swords are useless.

See my obsidian farm pic and the video i linked earlier on how to do obsidian farms (for making hellstone bars )

If you can't mine Ebonstone (the stone in the Corrupted areas) yet and there is a Shadow Orb you can't get to, use dynamite.

Boss Tips:

Eye of Cthulu:

Start the fight immediately as night falls. This will give you enough time to kill him.

Use an Enchanted Boomerang (or Flamarang) and always aim for his eye. This will make sure you almost always hit his servants as they come out.

When he switches forms, switch to a bow. I recommend a Gold bow or higher. You will also need at least one stack of fire arrows or stronger arrows. You can always collect these after the fight.

It is good to have Rocket Boots or a Cloud in a Bottle to dodge him as he charges but these aren't necessary.

Skeletron:

Start as above.

Use a Minishark and LOTS of ammo. At least two stacks, Meteorshot if you can get it.

Try to get a full set of Molten Armor before attempting as well as at least 1 row of hearts.

If you run out of ammo, use a Flamarang. The Enchanted Boomerang isn't going to cut it here.

Skeletron has a TON of health so trying to take out his hands first will cost you valuable time. Just dodge his hands using a Cloud in a Bottle or Rocket Boots.

Dodge his spinning head with a Cloud or Rocket Boots.

Always aim for the head.

I have a problem right now. My resolution ingame is way too large, as the native res is 1024x600 (yes, 600, it's a crazy notebook), how do I change outside of the game, is there a readable config file?

So the game decided to revert my spawn point and will not let me use a bed to change it again. I wish I knew what causes this bug.

It's not considered a house anymore, would be my guess.

You're right. I had dug a basemant out so that I could put storage chests in there. I guess the game didn't like that.

I put the bed in a completely separate room and it has fixed the issue.

If at all possible use a Phoenix Blaster instead of the Minishark since then you can kill Skeletron with 150-200 rounds of Meteor Shot instead of a thousand rounds with the Minishark

I beat skeletron quite handily using only a ball 'o hurt :shrug:
But now the dungeon swamps me with hostiles to the point I can't move :P

Anyone want to multiplayer? Could just do it over hamachi.

edit: preferably europeans because lag is currently an issue.

edit two: I have a server up on tuungle, hosted in room "terraria" with the password bgsf and the ip 7.15.16.170, anyone can join but if you lag it's not my fault.
