Fighting the Mech Bosses with a Portal Gun (And No Wings...) | Terraria x Portal

You never really get to use the portal gun in Terraria, since it's locked behind Moon Lord, so we're fixing that. I'm not sure how much this will change things from a normal playthrough, but it should be fun. Go play Portal and Portal 2 if you haven't already. If you have played them, check out Portal Stories: Mel, which is also really good. This is part two, where I go get Terraspark boots for literally no reason at all (and also fight the mechs I guess).

Watching this playthrough made me realize how incredible the portal gun would be if it could be equipped as a grappling hook instead of a tool.

[@1WolfFan]

You know, that's a pretty good point. Maybe someone who's good at making mods could figure out how to make that a thing in tMod. Have to figure out how to let a grapple be triggered differently by two different buttons, or a modifier for the active grapple button.

[@planetatierra5619]

What if, with the portal gun equipped to the hook slot, when you held down the hook key you would temporarily switch to the portal gun, like how you can hold down a key to temp swap to a torch, pick, or axe?

“I’ll do anything to make fishing faster.” Proceeds to not use fishing/crate potions.

[@WandofSparking]

Well, anything but grinding potion ingredients lol. I did use them when I got them from the angler though. It might actually take longer to farm the potions than to just fish normally during that time, depending on how unlucky you are with the crate RNG.

[@moonl1314]

@@WandofSparking truly simple tasks that you make your life harder by not doing. It wouldn't hurt to snatch an ebonkoi or two for some wrath potions would it? or is it not worth it for 10% damage boost. Buffs are really important, but truly, out of all of this, the true important thing is to not make it all the way to lunatic cultist without decent progression, and unless you're some kind of veteran, I would really recommend refraining from expert mode unless you want to go farm for buffs every few bosses and spend the time to get things you wouldn't usually get. Defeating the mechs is a crucial step in progression, true Excalibur usually carries you through plantera and then the terra blade is really good. Melee is really the only class i've used past the mechs, but i would like to try ranger or mage. You are truly more skilled than me, but you seem to care more about content than letting yourself get really involved in the game

[@WandofSparking]

The whole reason I don't play Expert is because you have to do all that boring potion grinding, enemy farming, and other menial tasks. Classic lets you run through the game without doing any of that, which is better suited to playing the game over and over for challenge playthroughs, in my experience. If I was playing Terraria once a year, I'd play Expert to get a more involved playthrough, but when I'm playing it every couple weeks, there's no reason to do all that grinding and slow progression every time.

[@moonl1314]

@@WandofSparking i guess, but i also see a lot of people in the comments overdramatizing the grindiness of fishing. Spending an hour or two fishing is very worth it to get what you need, and spending that time to get fishing gear saves so much time

[@mrcheese8497]

Imo it's also quite good for Old One's Army if you plan on doing that afterwards (Betsy's Wrath is worth a try, it has good damage and inflicts a debuff that lowers enemy defence by 40)

[@CiromBreeze]

Honestly Rainbow Gun is just great in general, it tends to keep spawns in a knockback loop and is fairly good at triggering the Spectre buff (which is pretty much THE Magic armour set)

[@Pihsrosnec]

I feel like it does get a bit held back by piercing i-frames, since a lot of magic weapons are piercing as well.

[@Leig5H0T]

Build a huge strip of solid blocks across the very top or near the top of the world that goes across it in it's entirety. It'll allow you to fire your portal gun up and teleport high into the sky whenever you'd like and wherever you are in the surface. Would be very useful for something like moon lord (I think) and also just very good for traveling and avoiding enemies in general. Also try using a jousting lance. Throwing yourself around at high speed seems easy for you

[@GarbajeCan]

Yeah but the jousting lance is a melee weapon right?

[@walvens3080]

@@GarbajeCan they aren't class locked or anything, so that doesn't matter. They're playing Mage because they want to, not because they need to.

[@HumanoidDerpling]

Yeah, normally the jousting lance is just a crappier spear but considering how fast you can go with portals it might be good for once.

[@Goremize]

And those blocks should be the ice gel blocks, can treat it like the gel from the game! you don't lose your speed on them either, once I found out about them I always build my underground bridge with them. Can also skip one block at a time to save on blocks!

[@wajfan]

@@Goremize i think the idea was more a solid layer of any block so you can teleport to the bottom of it at any time (and escape from whatever you're fighting on the surface). but that seems really good too, a second layer of ice slime would be great!

I wish you could get the portal gun earlier instead of moon lord. There’s just so many cool things you can do with it but it doesn’t have much use after you beat the game.

14:20 The meteor staff is great against the Destroyer, but not so much in any other circumstance you could normally use it in.

If you think your lava charm luck is bad, you should see mine. It was impossibly horrible. I caught well over 100 crates. I had nearly a stack of obsidifish to make seafood dinners with for the rest of the game. It was my first master mode play through, started the day 1.4 dropped, so I really wanted to get the fancy new boots they added. I didn’t expect 20% of my final playtime to be fishing. Didn’t help that I had equally horrible luck with the crystal serpent since I also did mage that run

[@viliamhrcka2817]

Yeah, I want to like Terraria but the fun items are so rng or grind dependant and I'm not willing to farm hours for something that makes the game more enjoyable. Farming kills the fun in Terraria. Even the portal gun. It's super fun to play around with, but there is no reason to use it when you already defeated all the bosses.

After recently playing a mage, the spirit flame is able to carry you through the mech bosses. The rainbow rod is also very good too

[@keagasourus9883]

I'm really glad you're doing a mage playthrough because mage is my favorite because all the coolest weapons are magic, because most of them work differently to each other, even things like staves, you have projectile staves like the diamond staff, but then there's the pitchfork (the fireball staff) that is a projectile and then explodes, or the one staff that reflects off objects, not to mention most spell tomes are really unique, also in case you didn't know the more full your mana bar is the faster you regen which makes managing mana much more interesting (I believe it is based on how much mana you currently have not a percentage of your total so items with the arcane mod also boost mana regen in a way)

The Rainbow Gun can be good as a set and forget type weapon for some passive damage to run bosses through much like the storm rod clouds, it's also VERY handy if you need to farm in the dungeon for any reason, works well for some of the invasion events as well, just gotta shoot it at the best arc (as straight a line as possible for as far as possible if on flat terrain) for the terrain to ensure enemies remain in the rainbow for as long as possible, also stun locks normal mobs pretty well hence its usefulness in the dungeon.

[@xbirds9187]

Rainbow gun is amazing to use as a tool of crowd control in invasions and events, especially old one's army, and when you explore the post-plantera dungeon, especially paired with a magnetic sphere spellbook and an actual magic weapon like the spectre staff. It is, however, piss useless in any bossfights (aside from maybe destroying some fishron bubbles as they're flying towards you but that's the only time i found a use for it). And before anyone asks, no I never tried it in the pillar events because that one everscream weapon has amazing dps even if it can't pierce, and you get the nebula blaze right after one pillar anyways and it's even more amazing (data from an expert mode 2p playthrough)

Me and my buddies have also been fishing for a lava charm, and after several days without any luck, somebody found 3 in another world while looking for an imp statue to get obsidian roses. We went ~2200 statue imps dry for a rose, then got 4 all in quick succession. I think the point I was trying to make was that fishing for lava charms sucks noodles.

Personally I like the rainbow gun, but only against events. Its kind of like a magic sentry; you shoot it out, it does passive damage for a time, disappears, then you re summon it. Pair it with a nimbus rod and clinger staff and nothing can exit the portals in old ones army lmao

[@darkwolf8820]

I would recommend crafting the rainbow rod, a very overlooked mage weapon. Got me through the mechs easily, and is quite fun

[@Arceus-dicklick]

the sky fracture is a FANTASTIC early hardmode weapon, fast use, 3 strike bursts and a high crit rate, it's really powerful

[@tyray3p]

I always play on large worlds, which probably explains this, but I never knew that there could be items that simply _don't spawn_ in chests. Never even crossed my mind. Kind of makes specific terraria moments for me make sense now.

[@jaydenly8153]

I love using Sky Fracture. It’s base crit is really high, which also combos with nimbus rod because the nimbus rod’s crit rate is based on the crit of the weapon you are holding

4:40 is absolutely incredible

[@MrRyanroberson1]

when i remember fishing in the underworld, all i did was catch some of the lava butterflies and snails, and it never took more than like 20 seconds per throw

Glad Bill Nye that science guy taught me about inertia being a property of matter. Bill will forever be in my heart as the coolest science shows ever. ☺

You have to understand that even with a good part of the video being fishing, your content still manages to be very fun to watch. It's calming even. Why don't you do a fishing stream sometimes? I bet that it won't get repetitive :)

[@moonl1314]

fishing, while not the worst thing in the world, and while i do enjoy it, really does get boring after getting the terraspark boots. There's really no incentive to fish anymore once you get the boots

[@gaspin4048]

@@moonl1314 maybe doing angler quests and just making a museum of all the shit you've gotten by fishing afterwards?

[@Sythll]

I’ve only ever really used the rainbow gun for the pumpkin / frost moon for dealing with the early rounds super easily
