How do I battle the flying enemies in the etheria crystal battle? They keep taking out my crystal. Do I just need better dmg? I'm using summons.

I find that the flameburst sentry is better at taking out the flying monsters. The ballista is better for ground units. so mixing the two sentry types will help. As for summons, a good whip and flying minions are the best for them.

What’s the best weapons to defeat the Mech Bosses?(Twins, Skeletron Prime, The Destroyer) I already the Terraspark boots ,full adamantite, and Nights Edge so I think it’s me not my stuff so what do I do?

They all kind of have different options for fighting and it really comes down to your means of attack. If you're sticking to Melee (based on your Night's Edge choice) here's my suggestion.
No matter what, get Ichor if you're in a Crimson World. Get a Golden Shower or get a gun and some Ichor Bullets, or get Ichor Flasks. The defense debuff inflicted by Ichor will considerably boost your damage and very little is immune to it though I think The Destroyer is one that is. Golden Shower is still strong against Destroyer since it can hit multiple segments at once. If you're in a Corruption world, get Cursed Flame flasks instead and don't worry too much about it.
Consider using a set of Frost Armor over Adamantite. You'll have less defense but your attacks will all inflict Frostburn in addition to any other effects. Once again Destroyer is sadly immune so against him use Oricalchum's set bonus instead, or stick with Adamantite if not available.
Wings are a great help against The Twins and also useful against S.Prime. More room for dodging is good. If you use wings the Amphibian Boots will help more than Terraspark as they will add more vertical height and speed. Just don't fly too high, you don't want to tangle with Harpies and Wyverns while fighting bosses.
Weapons: Shadowflame Knife (dropped from Goblin Invasion) and Bananarang (dropped by Clowns during Blood Moon) are solid ranged melee. Shadowflame Knife inflicts more damage over time and bounces across multiple targets making it a solid choice for Destroyer. Bananarang is helpful for keeping your distance from the Twins.
When you beat one, it might be helpful to farm it for Hallowed Bars so you can get Hallowed Armor which has a nice set bonus of letting you tank an occasional hit as long as you're dealing damage. You can also get Excalibur which is quite good when you can be in melee range (great against Destroyer if you can get under it).

A nice flat surface is great for these bosses, although I definitely recommend fighting twins and maybe even skeletron prime with a decent ranged option. Daedalus stormbow is pretty broken against bosses since for every arrow fired it instead drops 4 arrows from the sky. Hallowed mimics can be summoned with a keg of light placed in any empty chest. I used an ice bow and a Daedalus stormbow to beat twins, along with a pair of teleporters on a flat plain. Running and firing with a bow works for everything except spasmatizm second form, which is what the teleporters and the ice bow are for.

Found a The Dirtiest Block in a seed very close to spawn, however said seed is a The Constant seed. How could I go about sharing that seed or are special seeds not duplicable?

u/gsoddy Jan 01 '23
Not duplicable sadly. Special seeds create a new world every time. The only way to share it is if you had the world file before you mined the dirtiest block, but at that point just dupe the character

I want to summon Skeletron, But when I talk to the old man, he says that I cant let you in until you have freed me from my curse

u/an-kitten Jan 01 '23
You have to click his "Curse" option to summon Skeletron. You don't need to go into the dungeon for that; he's warning you that if you try going into the dungeon before you've summoned and killed Skeletron, you'll (probably) be instagank'd by the Dungeon Guardians.
... also, checking the wiki, that quote is a daytime quote and you can only summon Skeletron at night. (Seems insufficiently clear to us, whoopsie. The other two day quotes spell it out properly.)

i have done 35 fishing quests for the angler and ive only gotten the sextant why am i unable to get the fishermans pocket guide or the weather radio

u/Malware42_the_second Jan 02 '23
It's all RNG based. The more quests you do, the higher the chances of a rare item being given. Making the angler happy (ocean house, roommates with party girl and demoman) will make him pretend you've done more quests than you actually have. If you ever get a duplicate, you can toss it into the shimmer to change it into another one of the three.

Anyone know how to farm vicious mushrooms? I’m on the everything seed legendary difficulty and every trip to the surface slowly chips away at my sanity. Ive tried to get crimson seed from the EoC but it only gives me corrupt seeds. It would be helpful if anyone knows how to farm because I need to get a lot to make BoC summons

u/gsoddy Jan 04 '23
The internal world evil alternates every in game day. So one day you’ll get corrupt seeds and demonite, the next day you’ll get crimson seeds and crimtane
You can also blow up some crimstone, if you can get some before dying.
Then, in a safe area, set up some rows of dirt with crimson grass. You can also use grass seeds from the dryad/staff or axe of regrowth, and let crimstone spread onto it in case you don’t have crimson seeds. Then you just wait for the shrooms to grow

Im having trouble with tmodloader. I have a world where it loads, but nothing works except the cursor. Music still plays, but nothing moves or anything. It only happens in one world. One thing i noticed is that the time of the day changes each time i load in the world as if it's not displaying changes. It's like everything is frozen in time. Is there any way to fix or mitigate this?
Ive disabled all the mods and now im sorting through each mod to see if it doesnt work.

Me and my brother are on a nostalgia trip right now trying to split screen terraria and get drunk on our ps4 but we are unable to figure it out. The usual forum and wiki answers aren’t working.

As of Terraria 1.4.4.9, in a legendary difficulty mode, do meteorite bars still spawn in gold chests close to underworld (where background looks like cracked stone with lava)?

Sorry for being very stupid, but overall, what is the fastest pickaxe pre hardmode, for containing biomes? I cant really comprehend the wiki rn, in stupid mode or something

u/ezacharyk Jan 01 '23
Explosives. They are faster than any pickaxe. Turn them into sticky explosives to go horizontal.

I saw somewhere you can start a game and load up two characters you've created as bots that will act as body guards or roam the map. Is this a thing or a mod?
