Mastering Terraria may take hundreds of hours
and half of your sanity. That’s why I’ve collected all the knowledge
I gained from Reddit, official and fandom wikis, other YouTubers, and my own experience. Then compiled it into 100 advanced tips to
save you some time. This is Aiming4Gaming, and today we're aiming
for advanced gaming! The most powerful mechanic in Terraria is
the immunity frame. Once any enemy hits you, you receive temporary
immunity to further damage. Combining this with weak enemies like skeletons
allows us to create a damage prevention setup. With a multitude of skeletons constantly dealing
1 damage, bosses will struggle to find an opportunity to harm you. And that's it! This structure can carry you through almost
the entire game, making Master Mode bosses a joke. With the Mechanic, you'll be able to build
this setup anywhere you want. The Cross Necklace is a hardmode must-have
accessory that further enhances this setup by doubling your immunity frames! With this, you'll be able to easily handle
all three mechanical bosses at once and much more! Hoik is another powerful trick that allows
you to reach new destinations or exploit boss fights. To do so, you must alter the shape of a placed
block and add an entrance platform shaped properly as well. This will push you in the desired direction. The more blocks you modify, the farther you
will travel. The game has an NPC limit of 200, meaning
that no enemy, boss, or NPC can spawn if there are already 200 NPCs in the world at the moment. This can be exploited to defeat Master Mode
bosses easily. By releasing as many critters as the game
allows, then reaching the NPC limit with target dummies, you will spawn bosses which cannot
fight you at all. Another game-breaking limit is the projectile
limit. If you fire 1000 projectiles, such as flares
that persist for 10 minutes, you can trivialize boss fights against enemies which rely on
projectiles. You can even defeat a Deerclops with a pickaxe,
for example. It's possible to store ethernian mana in chests
between events. Just start the event, place 10 initial mana
in the chest, and log out. Having enough mana will allow you to one-shot
Master mode daytime Empress of Light, if you desire! The Sergeant United Shield has parry mechanics,
allowing you to reflect damage. With a proper setup, this can solo-kill bosses
like Master Mode Duke Fishron. Equipping a pressure plate reveals natural
wires, which can be used to set up traps or boss cheesing arenas. The Starfury from the floating islands can
highlight the underground or even the dungeon, kill enemies, and break pots, making it a
perfect tool for exploration. A single bucket of lava can create a fantastic
farming arena. For an easy Queen Bee farm without any fight,
create an arena with three segments. Place a beehive in one segment, enemy statues
in another, and a trigger in between. The boss will kill itself, making you a lot
of money! A Jungle Grass farm is an excellent source
of critters for fishing, Plantera bulbs, and much more. Purchase mushroom seeds from the Dryad while
she is in the mushroom biome. Then toss them into shimmer to obtain rare
jungle grass seeds. Plant jungle grass on several mud blocks,
actuate them, and collect all the grown items at once. A Gemcorn farm is a simple way to obtain gems
for selling. Craft several gem acorns, create an underground
plant area 17 blocks high, plant trees while keeping gaps, and replant them once they mature. The growth cycle usually takes only one day. Some statues spawn enemies, critters, or items
when triggered by wires. Although the drop rate is usually nullified
for mobs spawned this way, some enemies will still drop items. A good example is the Golem statue, which
yields night vision helmets and geodes—a breakable source of random gems that can be
sold for a decent amount of money. Keep in mind that enemies won't drop any loot
if they are killed only by lava or traps; you must deal damage to them as well. The Crimson Rod is a great option here. If you don't want to mine sand but still need
glass, sand farming is for you. Craft a sand gun, use an ammo preservation
potion, get some sand, activate an ammunition box, stand near the wall, and place a torch
below it. While shooting at the wall, you'll save half
of your sand, and the torch will convert sand blocks into collectibles. In 10 minutes, you'll get a full sand stack
for free, essentially turning you into an antlion! The Slime Staff, combined with the Lucky Coin,
will yield coins when slimes hit targets for a pitiful 1 damage. Use it as an additional source of money or
set up a farm. Actuators with timers allow you to place deployables,
such as explosives, on a single block! If you create a hellevator, destroy blocks
below the map boundaries, actuate the floor below the Eternia Crystal, and drop it, the
event will break completely, allowing you to cheese it. Projectiles from Flamelash, Magic Missile,
and Rainbow Rod will seek your enemies forever if you place two teleporters with quickly
moving enemies. This can help you one-shot most of the Master
Mode bosses in the game. Jousting Lances deal damage based on your
current speed. With the Mappy Railgun setup, it's the only
weapon in the game that can actually one-shot all bosses with huge numbers. Close doors with blocks during invasions to
prevent enemies from entering. Yo-yos can easily pass through one opened
block and kill your enemies with no risk. Purchase bubbles from the Party Girl to build
intermediary honey healing blocks for your arena. They will give you the honey buff if you pass
through them but slow you down. However, drinking a Flipper Potion will negate
the slow effect completely! Buy a Blend-o-Matic from the Steampunker after
defeating mechanical bosses and combine gel with stone to craft asphalt blocks. With decent boots equipped, you'll easily
reach a running speed of 72 mph on an asphalt arena, which is much faster than the speed
most bosses can keep up with. Change the shapes of your building blocks
with a hammer. This might completely change the way your
buildings look. Complex logic from the Steampunker NPC, combined
with your creativity, will create amazing designs for one-shot setups! Fireworks deal 150 damage to bosses on contact. With enough fireworks, you can defeat Master
Mode bosses and celebrate your victory at the same time! Placing a bottle on the workbench will unlock
potion recipes. Keep in mind that it's not as efficient as
an alchemy table because it won't occasionally save materials when you make a potion. Crafting stations are still accessible if
they are placed on platforms above. You don't need walls at all. If you build this house design, it will be
suitable for housing. However, you must manually assign an NPC to
such a house; they'll ignore it otherwise. Barrels are a cheaper alternative to chests
with the same number of inventory slots! So, if you wish to make something unique or
save iron bars, try barrels! Traps are totally worth it in some situations. Cheesing bosses with natural geysers is one
of the most satisfying things you will see in Terraria! You don't need a Guide Voodoo Doll to summon
the Wall of Flesh—just let the guide himself sink in lava! Keeping the nurse near the boss's arena is
a decent strategy, as you can heal to full health with no cooldown. That's huge! The Dryad is also a good candidate for your
arena setup. Her blessing will buff your defense, add health
regen and thorns effect, while debuffing enemies too. After beating the Wall of Flesh, you might
notice a tortured soul. Use purification powder on him to unlock the
Tax Collector NPC. This guy will passively collect 50 copper
coins from every housed NPC every minute, capping at 25 gold. These values might vary depending on his happiness. NPC happiness directly affects their prices,
so moving an NPC to a house he likes with neighbors he likes will result in discounts! While pylons require two NPCs to operate,
slimes do count toward that limit, and they can also share the room with NPCs. If you're playing a hardcore character and
need tombstones, just kill an NPC. Sitting on a toilet or floating in water with
an inner tube equipped will boost your fishing power by 5 points. The Tipsy status from alcohol will grant you
another 5 points. Nice! The Sonar Potion will greatly improve your
fishing experience, especially when you're aiming for quest rewards. Crate Potions are essential if you want to
farm for those missing boots or whatever else you need from crates! Fishing during the Blood Moon allows you to
catch rare enemies instead of fish. They will drop various uncommon loot. Fishing during rain and at specific times
will increase your resulting fishing power. If you eat food and sit on a toilet, you'll
get poo blocks. From these, you can build your own poo house
with a unique animation and sounds. Yeah. There's a weapon that can shoot falling stars! It's called the Star Cannon; it pierces through
enemies and can be considered one of the most powerful pre-hardmode weapons. The hardmode version is even cooler! Place a heavy workbench to craft complex mechanisms
such as boulders or bouncy boulders, which can literally cheese the bosses on master
mode. Craft pocket watches near the table to always
know the current time. During party time, you can buy pigronatas
from the Party Girl. When placed and attacked, they return most
of their cost and also give you valuable bacon. There are two potions from different evil
biomes you can craft, and they do stack. So, if you wish to get both, consider fishing
in two worlds! Not all sets require 3 items for the set bonus. A good example is the diamond robe with a
wizard hat, which already gives you a set bonus. So, feel free to add any legs you wish. Desert fossils, when processed in an Extractinator,
will yield money, gems, ores, and Sturdy Fossil. Craft and sell Bone Throwing Knife from the
latter for additional money. Some items, such as illegal gun parts, are
available only at night. Most summon weapons, especially in the late
game, are more powerful with the Ruthless modifier than with the Mythical modifier because
summons do not land critical hits, while the damage bonus is bigger for Ruthless. Equipping one of the Gem Robe variants in
the Armor Slot without a Wizard Hat will boost Tim's spawn rate by 5 times. Most of the cool vanity items can be crafted—just
make some silk and enjoy your new look for free. The best weapon in the game is Zenith—you
can craft it after defeating the Moonlord and obtaining 10 swords from different bosses,
events, and locations. The fastest item for mining is the Drill Containment
Unit mount, which is crafted from 6 types of bars after you beat the Moonlord. It trivializes your exploration and underground
mining, so definitely try it out! By the way, if you're enjoying the video so
far, landing your precious like would be my best reward! If you place 7 tombstones next to each other,
they will create a Cemetery biome, unlocking additional recipes for the heavy workbench,
such as beehives. Some blocks will not be destroyed even with
explosives, such as dungeon blocks. This allows you to explore some cheesing options. Surface-level dungeon bricks can be mined
at any point in the game, even with a copper pickaxe. Equipping pressure plates or switches will
help you disarm traps like the Dead Man's Chest, even without finding the Mechanic. Hellevators are a great way to descend quickly. To easily make one, drink a featherfall potion
and throw dynamite right below you. Craft a biome sight potion to reveal evil
biomes. This might help you a lot if you're planning
to purify the world. To prevent evil biomes from spreading naturally,
you can leave a gap with a tunnel. I prefer at least 5 or 6-block gap to accentuate
my borders. Buy a Clentaminator and green solution from
the Steampunker to start purifying your world. It's the fastest way compared to mining it
out or using purification powder. During the blood moon or solar eclipse, you
can buy purple or red solution, depending on your world type, from the Steampunker and
spread evil biome when needed. Destroying more altars than initial three
will spawn more of the world assigned hardmode ores. The amount of ores spawned decreases, so destroying
12 altars will roughly double the ore provided by the first three, but that's still great! Water candles and peace candles, when turned
on, will affect the spawn rate of enemies. This is viable combined with a battle potion
when you're farming for a specific drop or when you're building something huge and don't
want to deal with too many enemies. Sunflowers grant you a happy status and also
reduce the spawn rate of enemies. Placing enough seeds or blocks of a specific
type allows you to create artificial biomes. If you need obsidian or honey blocks, just
make contact with lava or honey with some water from a bucket or the nearest underground
lake. Drinking a hunter potion will help you find
friendly NPCs. But this doesn't mean you will be able to
help them. Destroying shadow orbs or crimson hearts is
a great way to get early-game weapons. You can safely break two of them with bombs
or even more—the boss spawns after each third orb. However, if you teleport to your base, the
boss will despawn, letting you break 3 orbs again. The easiest way to find shimmer is to mine
a hellevator right next to the Ocean biome on the Jungle side. Shimmer can be transported with pumps. Shimmer reflects some projectiles, such as
the ones from the Flower of Fire. In other words, you can stack enough projectiles
to one-shot some bosses! Shimmer also affects arrows, pushing them
upward. So, if you build an arena with honey above
that does the opposite, shimmer below, and a bubble in between, you can stack a lot of
arrows to cheese some bosses, especially if you use Tsunami. Don't forget to drink the potion to breathe
in water; don't be like silly me. Critters in the shimmer area usually spawn
in their alternative form, which means that you can sell them for some coins! NPCs change their appearance when they are
thrown into shimmer. It's much easier to collect the missing components
for things like the Ankh Shield with shimmer - some of them transform into their counterpart. Some items such as hearts, fruits, gold worms,
and so on will be transformed into unique items that grant you permanent buffs. If you need any ore except titanium, just
throw its counterpart into shimmer. This will be the easiest way to craft a specific
armor set. All four emblems form a transformation cycle
in shimmer. So, instead of farming the Wall of Flesh for
a specific emblem, simply get it from the one you already have! Some gear changes into another set when thrown
into shimmer—like this Ancient Shadow piece, for example. Also, if you need a component from a complex
item, shimmer will split it for you! You can increase your luck up to 1 by combining
positive luck values from different sources such as garden gnomes, biome-specific torches,
coins, ladybugs, luck potions, and so on. Touching a naturally spawned Ladybug grants
the Ladybug luck effect that decreases linearly to 0 over time. Killing ladybugs is a bad idea, as it will
reduce your luck instead! The Garden gnome, which increases your luck
by plain 0.2, can be acquired when a Gnome touches sunlight. Your current luck at the time of the Travelling
Merchant's arrival will increase the odds of getting more and better items from him. Clustering 101 torches underground will start
the Torch God event in which you must survive torch projectiles. If you survive more than 95, you'll get an
item called Torch God's Favor. This permanently grants you the ability to
automatically convert regular Torches and Campfires in your hand to the current biome's
Torch or Campfire variant, increasing the player's luck in most areas. The Quick Stack feature is a lifesaver when
you need to move items into appropriate chests. Certain items will show you the location of
enemies, your DPS, and much more, even if they are placed in your inventory. Later on, you can even make a cell phone or
shellphone which will combine all stats in one inventory slot. Getting a summon weapon is good for any class,
not only Summoner. This is additional DPS, after all. If you're planning to try out a new difficulty,
consider typing secret seeds like "getfixedboi." They will change your game experience completely. While the "getfixedboi" world is generating,
you can catch falling stars with your cursor. Each star will increase the amount of generated
stuff in your world, such as hearts and traps, up to 20% for 100 caught stars. If you want to reuse your character appearance
in the future, copy it during the creation and save somewhere. Then paste it during the creation of another
character. The Slimy Saddle, dropped from the King Slime,
can be used as a fast descending tool with no risk of dying from a jump. Crafting a bed, placing it in a temporary
house, and setting it as a spawn point is a great way to save some time on travel if
you need to spend too much time in a specific location. If you buy a party center from the Party Girl,
you can activate a party manually at any time! I hope with this guide you have achieved what
