[@Martiini220]

I also met that pinky friend on my 2nd day and after our little *chat* the achivement popped up, then I realized It had to be rare XD ("Pinky has a 1/180 (0.56%) chance of spawning" according to Terraria Wiki)

[@firesoul8010]

Me and my friends just started this game recently and unfortunately I got a video with literally [final boss] as the thumbnail and “final boss” somewhere in the title.

[@kovexplay]

Really nicely explained! I think there are some things that should have been mentioned and you have shown a little too much of potentially spoilery content at the beggining but this video still provides a good start for beginners 👍 The sad truth is that anyone starting out will probably need to search for sources outside the game to fully understand how some things work and what the game has to offer but at the same time it feels special to get into this type of game and have to discover a lot on your own

[@daedpuul5054]

[@marvinmountain1158]

im loving the slightly sassy passive agressive nature of his explaining :D

[@Y0sh1no5am]

I love listening to guides while I play games. Its a bit relaxing to listen also u get to learn more stuff while playing other games. I play Skyrim and listen lot of guides but then I start listen to guide from other games like Minecraft and Terraria. Always lovely to hear it. And I have no problem with guides do some spoiling I have played Terraria and came good far not done any bosses but built tall towers and explored some dungeons. :) Tho would be more fun with friends but sadly I dont have one for that :( But yeah if ppl dont like spoilers they shouldnt had clicked in the first place. Just imagine getting a new job and the instruction is guiding u through but then you plug ur ears coz you dont want any spoilers. Yeah that one way to get fired.

[@AxelordSMIJES]

I have sunk at least a couple thousand hours into this game but haven't played in a few years. This is great!

[@Drie_Kleuren]

I was somewhat experienced and I got 2 friends to buy the game. It was me and 2 complete noobs who had 0 idea. One of my friends found the dungeon and I said nothing... it was very funny. Also my other friend likes to collect flowers and she found that special flower in the jungle in hardmode (it took us a very long time to get to this point so she already kinda couldnof expected something to happen) anyways she is now a lot more carefull. Also she likes to collect bugs. Well she doesnt anymore after something happened in the hollow biome...

Hallow bog and jungle flower dude must have been really funny getting one hit by a boss 😅😅

[@wickeddrac7489]

Journey mode is the ultimate mode because you can have Expert and Mastermode in the same play through if you want!

[@Oklines]

Plus you’re still forced to play the game to unlock the unlimited items so it’s not just a normal creative mode. I love journey mode!

[@berfranper]

I haven’t played Terraria in more than 10 years, but I’m glad to see it’s essentially the same game with more stuff.

[@punishedfilthyfrank7348]

Hello. I've been playing Terraria for about a total of 100+ hours and I can't finish it yet because I'm always indecisive like i need to be this melee class only, and then proceed to be a summonner. So when i realize it later, i just redo it all again, deleting the character and the world. How can I not do this again?

[@jdisdetermined]

Choose a specific class you want to play as for each character you create and fully stick to it. You can have several characters and worlds going at the same time and just progress whichever one you feel like playing at the time. That way you never have to completely start over again until you finish one. I always have several separate playthroughs going.

[@ShrekHs]

Uhhhhh. A good start would probably be not deleting your character and starting a new world whenever you get indecisive.

[@HumanoidSmile]

thank you

[@MystraDemon]

Why am I still watching this. I have 10k hours playtime

[@Dogster821]

Thanks for the guide I just started and don't know what the hell to do

[@charliesgamingplace2371]

I do hate one thing about terraria, and that’s the fact that in classic mode or lower, most bosses are absolutely useless, especially the early boss, where by that point of progression the things it drops aren’t that useful anymore. Also, a quick tip, though it is only sometimes useful, is that fishing (though sometimes quite boring and hard to get lures for) can be a decent source of early game loot! (The umbrella is also a decent item that will help you throughout most of the game, just not as a damage tool, PS: read it’s description).

[@WhoAmIToCareAbtUsername]

I knew I didn't beaten any bosses yet and have barely what I can call a starter armor / build set, and I knew that I'd have a lot to go through but I didn't expected to be THAT far behind

[@jojiretro]

ive been just getting lots of wood i r,ly didnt know what to do this helps me alot

[@Irate_Beau]

something it seems like purists dont do is that as long as the character and world match (normal -> normal / journey -> journey), you can take items from other worlds to help you in the current one! you absolutely can take weapons or accessories from a world in hard mode and bring them into a fresh world to give you a major boost. this feels almost necessary when playing master mode, and dont let purists tell you that doing this is cheating! you literally HAVE to do it if you don't think to save a certain item very early on!
