Can you make a world IMPOSSIBLE to enter using Shimmer? | Terraria Mythbusters

[@ledlebrgr5380]

Imagine if they added fish to Shimmer that required a Phaseproof Fishing Rod to catch

[@pen_lord8520]

and MISSINGNO as quest fish that requires you to fish in shimmer

[@tartarussauce2498]

To obtain it you could have to shimmer a hotline fishing hook

[@Zalimo4733]

​@@tartarussauce2498 or maybe just make it so you can fish in shimmer when using the cloak

[@Greywander87]

Stellar Crates and Cosmic Crates, perhaps? But what would be inside? Or would it just be a unique fish, like the Honeyfin from honey fishing? Hmm... I can't help but think that this line of thinking naturally leads to some big content addition where shimmer fishing will provide a renewable way to get new items. Perhaps defeating Moonlord will spawn a Lunar Palace or something in the space layer, with new loot and new enemies, and the shimmer crates will be an alternative way to get some of that loot.

5:39 "So, the next time you run out of time fighting Eye of Cthulhu somehow, you can use this strategy to get an extra night." Thanks, WoS! I've really been struggling. Before I attempt to fight the Eye again, I'll dig a large hole in my world with the Drill Containment Unit and fish up an Enchanted Sundial, being sure to transform it into the Moondial using shimmer. Then, I'll summon the Eye, and once it hits 4:30 AM, I'll quickly teleport up from hell to space with it using my handy Rod of Harmony, which I got after killing the Moon Lord and transforming my Rod of Discord, along with the Witch's Broom mount I got from killing some Mourning Wood. Lifesaver! I'll be able to get my Shield of Cthulhu so I can do better against Skeletron.

I was in the process of writing this exact comment lol. Amazing how myth busters discover so many obscure things that are completely useless in a real playthrough.

Does the getting-out-of-Shimmer teleport have a maximum range to how far it can move a player? What happens if all the blocks around the Shimmer are filled in?

Doesn't work. Game won't spawn dungeon guardian unless the walls are naturally generated, e.g not placed by players. Does work if you TEdit the walls in though because the game thinks they are natural walls.

Great timing of the upload; There's Mythbusters playing on TV right now from where i am! Thanks for the video! There's one myth that was busted can be now confirmed; Thanks to the shimmer, you can make "Unsafe" versions of the Dungeon and Spider Walls, which means artificial dungeons and Spider minibiomes can be made!

[@miojo157._.]

Myth: Can you make a dungeon out of bounds? And if so, Can the old man or cultists spawn there?

[@TheSquareOnes]

Their spawn is actually a specific point in the world like the player's and it doesn't really factor in the biome as long as they have room to appear, so while it would still be cool to see an out of bounds dungeon (could check for mechanic spawning or something) they can actually just check the out of bounds cultist spawn by moving the spawn point anywhere out there.

[@что-ф3п]

Есть такая штука с пауками, нужно бросить паучьи стены сделанные из паутины в шимер и они будут не просто декорацией, а создадут паучий биом. Со стенами данжа скелетрона такого нет, но я думаю такое могут добавить в 1.4.5

I've seen a few comments about maximum range on the shimmer failsafe teleport; if it is a fixed range, could you abuse that by forcing a player into another "pool" of shimmer that reconnects to the original teleporter trap and forcibly reset the shimmer failsafe?

They're really fun, I'd recommend doing some yourself if you haven't already. I've done at least a dozen since discovering this channel through that playthrough and they're not getting old yet, I can understand why they wouldn't want to stick exclusively to them but mixing in a few more randomized runs in between the more creative challenge runs would be great.

boy, it be interesting to see someone make a legitimately good arena for hordes of mobs to fight using bouncing bullets + shimmer.

I remember reading the patch notes warning that something bad might happen you tossed a stack of voodoo dolls into lava, then being supremely disappointed that doing so merely killed a bunch of my NPCs instead of summoning multiple Walls of Flesh like I had been hoping for.

[@Fluxuation]

here’s my question, if we were to get a shark or any enemy beneath a shimmer pool, and fire a nano bullet in an enclosed space above the shimmer pool, would it bounce forever or at least for an extended period? Tl;Dr, can shimmer reset the 1 bounce that a nano bullet has?

[@somedude4087]

you can make a world impossible to complete by flooding a get fixed boi spawn (if terrain is such that lava won't just leak out over the edge) with lava early in the game the 200 damage from lava ignores s from when you spawn

[@44Hd22]

When you rejoin fast enough will the dart trap have enough time to reset?

[@t0tallysetj1]

after a google search, i saw that the entity limit is 200 *including mech boss parts*; if you spawn three destroyers (each have 82 segments) will the last one spawn ~half size?

Eh, you can get that with a device near full storage My Destroyer is short and missing a tail (a few are), Golem sometimes doesn’t spawn, and a few other bugs

[@ZatonicM]

This is truly one of the Terraria Mythbusters of all time.

[@ThePCguy17]

That slime trick seems like it would have been useful to know in your shimmer playthrough. Sure, a lot of the time it was the shimmer coming in form above that was a problem, but it still would have been good for crossing large pools.

[@davidabner8885]

It would be neat if doing multiple voodoo dolls spawned a tougher WoF

[@gaelonhays1712]

FtW WoF in normal worlds. Or if there were dolls for every NPC, and each one spawned the FtW version of a certain boss.

[@GamerX-2000]

To be fair, that wouldnt have worked anyways, cause couldnt you just use a conch shell?? Unless they dont work in shimmer, a player who happens to have a conch shell of any type should be able to teleport out.

[@Mathemaniac187]

Also, you can use an inner tube to get up with the eye of Cthulhu, as your speed increases the longer you are in the water.

[@kirbodin]

Hello Mr. Sparking. I would like to suggest a run for Stardew. A Caveman run. What rules you use are up to you, but some of them I like are; No farming of any kind allowed No using complex machines No making of things more complicated than a band of metal(rings) Only allowed to use clubs as weapons ever Cannot speak to people as you don't use English(very optional) No reading And perhaps any other ideas you might have.

[@ARDIZsq]

That first one makes me wish they added in some secret fish or something you could get by fishing while wearing the Chromatic Cloak. It would encourage players to test out new features in weird ways to find secrets like that.

[@tysrihari-zz6yc]

Myth/Idea: you could make a true soft lock by creating either a platform surrounded by a shimmer soft lock, or make it so the nearest place to teleport too is another shimmer soft lock, having you bounce between them every 20 seconds

[@moosemafia1659]

Myth: You can use the getting-out-of-shimmer teleport to teleport outside of the temple for the golem boss fight. Or even… out of hell during wof

[@GoingBizark]

You should try to moondial the twins

[@Doggywoof1]

So they added a failsafe for the shimmer trap. ...What if you were to hypothetically, theoretically, fill the entire world with shimmer traps?

[@Greywander87]

All this talk of shimmer reminds me that it was added because there was one "slot" left for liquid, so we probably won't be seeing any new liquids. That means we'll need to wait until Terraria 2 to get things like oil, blood, acid, poison, and such. More esoteric liquids like mercury/quicksilver, or fantasy fluids like liquid shadows would be pretty cool, too. It's probably too much for Terraria's physics system, but liquids that can mix and form layers (like how oil floats on water) would be interesting. Gasses would be tricky to do, but modeling heavier-than-air gasses as faux liquids would probably work. Liquids that flow up instead of down would also be interesting, and/or having methods of altering gravity in a given area.
