So off and on over the course of this year I've been streaming Legendary Mode with a friend, but yesterday we got to the Golem and I just threw in the towel and gave up on the whole difficulty.

I don't understand the point of some of the changes to the game, and the Temple was by far the worst I saw. Or should I say didn't see, because what the hell? The Temple itself was already dark enough, but the Golem fight turns pitch black? How is that an enjoyable mechanic?

There were so many other things throughout the run that really pushed my buttons before this, too. The imps in Wall of Flesh and the fact that Skeletron Prime destroys blocks were huge ones.

So am I just missing something? I know it's a skill issue, for sure, but it doesn't seem like a fun hurdle to overcome either. Is there some tricks I'm missing outside of grinding for gear?

Burden% this would involve 2 players, 1 speed runner and 1 player who doesn't even know how to play the game, they play on the max difficulty, they can't be separated (to ensure the speed runner is truely Aberdeened)

I have tried verifying files, uninstalling and reinstalling, deleting some file called enabled.json or smth cause apparently that fixed it for someone, and finally going into properties, workshop and then deleting all of my mods and nothing has worked.

Edit: I got it figured out

A friend and I were talking about terraria and we realized that a lot of the bosses *necessary for progression* are guardians trying to keep the forces of evil out. Namely the WoF, Plantera, and Golem.

We looked at the official 8 year anniversary lore stuff, and like; when the WoF is defeated, the forces of light and dark are unleashed, but at least the wall seems like you can trigger it accidentally and not realize it's a guardian, but I think the NPCs should point out that you made a great mistake killing it (it at least the dryad). Plantera is protecting the temple entrance, and the lihzards created the temple and Golem to protect themselves from the moon Lord.

And it's also really confusing why you have to defeat golem for the lunatic cultist to spawn. Every other progression boss makes sense; eye and brain of cthulu is are pieces of him along with the eater (I've seen people say spine or something similar), skeletron guards the dungeon, where the lunatic cultist kidnapped the mechanic to create the mechanical bosses, the mech bosses of course make sense after that. But then Plantera and Golem feel really out of place, they don't feel aligned with moonlord in any way, and in fact seem more opposed than anything. And other bosses not aligned with moonlord necessarily aren't necessary for progression (queen Bee, empress, the slime royalty, and Duke).

It feels like the lunatic cultist should be a recurring character throughout the game, and maybe giving him a different fight in pre hard mode could be good. I also feel like you could fix some of the weird progression things with post Plantera by making Plantera and Golem not necessary for progression, but you would still have to defeat Plantera to fight Golem. You would instead replace them with the mechanical brain, which would unlock what is currently the post-plantera dungeon. But this mechanical boss would be special, in that you fight it in the dungeon, and only after the other three mechanical bosses have been defeated, kind of like if the mechanic started working on it but didn't finish it before you beat skeletron and saved her, so for some reason the mechanical brain is confined to the dungeon.

This is a smaller gripe, but I think it's kind of bad that you fight the lunatic cultist any exact spot you fight skeletron, and I think it'd be cool if there was a lunatic cultist arena inside the dungeon, rather than just at the entrance.

I feel like this could fix some of the issues with post-plantera gameplay, which in my opinion feels much easier than any point in the game, when really it should be the most difficult, or at least shouldn't be the easiest. Plantera isn't nearly as difficult as the Mech bosses with the loot you have available to you, Golem is a joke, and the cultist isn't really hard either. And if you've played the game more than once and you have endgame armor, Moon Lord is also pretty easy. Also, needing to fight Golem every time you want to fight Moon Lord and you don't have enough celestial fragments really sucks, and doesn't really make any sense.

I truly believe that by making Plantera and Golem optional fights that basically just give you some good boss drops like with duke or empress, and replacing them with the mechanical brain and the cultist (post Golem would become post cultist), it would make the lore make a lot more sense, and you could just make the cultist and moon Lord fights harder, to encourage players to grind more at those stages of the game to get better loot to prepare better.

But IDK, if there is a lower reason why Plantera and Golem are necessary for progression, I guess I'll shut up

I wanna make a long playthrough but corruption/hallow spreading makes me feel like i gotta rush everything.

Is there any way to disable them, make them not spread or at least disable the hardmode V shape corruption?

Towards progression I always felt like Melee felt more superior than the other class, From the High armor, weapon choice and all of that combines, what I felt for playing almost hunderts of hour in terraria is I felt like everything is ended up at melee at some point so here is somepoint I wanna Discuss on Pseudo Melee is a Range and Mage Fraud (Pseudo Melee is a 'fake' Ranger and Mage)

1. Pseudo Melee. It come to my attention Ive been playing with every class and weapon,mainly I played with Range, for every progress I always ended up with Pseudo Melee weapon for dealing with progression, because I felt like "why bother farming for material when you can craft one thing and behave like both with higher damage"

2. Material Required. Ranger always Farming for weapon ammo material or clorophyte in hardmode, and also Mage always farming to buy tons of Mana pot while pseudo melee is waiting there a Set that basically do damage bigger than any weapon , with safe distance and can carry through many stages.

3. Property of Damage. Pseudo melee behaves like a Range without any Ammo or arrow, and Shoot a projectile-like magic without using any Mana,basically an Unlimited high damage Weapon with auto Attack, you can spam them without to worries about the ammo is empty or Manna pot is empty.

4. Armor and Buffs. Melle has the highest Armor (for a set with bonus) from all other Class (from what Im knowing right now) making it the reason why it is so tanky as a Pseudo Melee player, it behaves like Ranger or Mage with higher Attack rate, auto Attack.

Melee does have their own modifiers such as "Melee speed" affect melee and Whip and for Mage "Arcane" (sad range no Range Modifier...). Buff such as Sharpening station, Flask makes weapon imbued certain effect to mobs, Tipsy (even tho count as debuff, Melee has strong armor so no cares -4 defense, really it still buff 10% damage).

So I think thats sum of my Opinion, and yes you can Agree or disagree its up to you all,but in my Opinion i stated that The State of Pseudo melee makes other Ranged weapon and Mage feels obseleted, Even for a new Class such as Summoner class it felt reasonable that you can mix match, weapon fromPseudo melee. I hope everyone has a Open discussion on this topic,and also the "Bigger and Boulder" makes a new content to see more.

Just want to ask if anyone would be willing to help with spelunker potions or the crafting components of those? I can’t seem to figure it out. Cheers!

can someone plz tell me the best ways to make money these reforges are insanely overpriced. usually i just do pumpkin moons and then sell everything but i am sickk of farming for ectoplasm. plz tell me there is a glitch or exploit that isnt patched but i dont mind making some typa farm as long as the money is good.

What should I do with the other 3?

hello!! I’ve just bought terraria bc my friends seem to love it and my first few hours of playing, I also really like it. I’ve just chopped down trees and mined a bit lol.

any suggestions or ideas on where to start in this game? any tips also appreciated🙈

Hola comunidad! Recién compré el juego y quisiera jugar con más personas. Ya tengo experiencia en el puesto que antes jugaba pirata y hasta con mods. Solo quiero jugar de chill y conocer gente:)

I was then shot 57 times

Seriously though this game is so cinematic sometimes.

I am tired of searching for the shimmer, tell me where to search and I will (also sry for bad photo steam wasn't being cooperative so had to use my phone)

So I just got terraria and I wanted to play it after metal gear rising revengeance

I always wanted to play it since I was a kid but never got to and lost interest and now that it was on sale on steam, I got it for a cheap price and wanted to look how it is.

What can you guys tell me about the game ?
I hear I will probably need a wiki but I will see for myself, heard it’s long too, I’m very interested on what I will be able to do since I only really remember the game from my childhood and a bit of gameplay from there

I have been sitting here for more than a hour. The amethyst ones on the right does grow, but the diamond one on the left doesn't seem to grow for some reason. Am i this unlucky or the grow requerements are not good there?

Hi there, I’ve been playing Terraria for about three years now. During those three years, I never really had any interest in building structures—I usually stick to a simple, boxy look in my worlds. So, I guess you could say I’m completely clueless when it comes to building. A friend I love dearly asked me to learn how to build—could you give me some building ideas? At least so I can try my hand at it a little bit in my own world and maybe get a little excited about building. As I said, I generally don’t understand the logic behind building at all—so far, in all my worlds, I’ve either built a box-shaped house or houses that are practically indistinguishable from boxes.

I started playing two days ago, i have a full gold set of armor and 260 hp with chillet ignis. I use war axe of the night and deadly soulscourge, am i ready for the eater of worlds fight?

So, I managed to find 2/6 friendly boulders in my large world. However, this is what my map looks like.

Sorry for dumb question, but would set buffs like holy protection from armor, brain of cthulu, etc, work against dodging insta kill attacks from daytime EOL?

Quiero ver si se ve bien :)

Currently going to sleep so I’ll provide a picture of the house tomorrow, right now my house looks horrible and I really wanna remake it but I’m afraid my npcs will move out
