Can I Beat Terraria Master Mode Using Only Traps?

I've beaten Terraria using only traps once before, but in this video I crank up the difficulty ten times over by playing in master mode. So is it even possible to beat the game? Well, guess you'll just have to find out for yourself. Enjoy! :)

Wow people really can finish the game using a FUCKING lawnmower or setting boulder statues but i cant with maxed out gear.

[@tracksofgraceinternational5374]

i beat it on expert mode

[@Awesomeness-iz3dh]

Try building a boss arena that completely negates all of the boss's attacks. That usually works.

37:10 The reason no Paladin spawned is because of one of the least known mechanics of the Dungeon. It's actually split up into 3 different biomes, not all of which can spawn Paladins. You will know which biome you are in based on which enemies are spawning, the background wall, and whichever banners are littered around the area. One of these biomes spawns Hell armoured bones, one spawns Rusty armoured bones, and the last spawns blue armoured bones. The colour of the dungeon does not affect anything, only the variant of background wall you are standing in front of. (Brick walls spawn blue armoured bones, slab walls spawn rusty armoured bones, tiled walls spawn hell armoured bones.) Paladins, necromancers, cursed skulls and skeleton commandos only spawn in areas with Blue armoured bones Ragged casters, spike balls, and skeleton snipers only spawn in areas with Rusty armoured bones Blazing wheels, Diaboltists, and Tactical Skeletons only spawn in areas with Hell armoured bones Bone Lee spawns everywhere Giant cursed skulls spawn in both Rusty and Hell armoured territory. You were farming in rusty armoured bones territory, that's why no paladins spawned. Hope this makes your life a little easier in the next challenge :D Edit: It's not impossible for any enemy to spawn in any area, but the chance goes from 90% to 5%. It's possible to obtain the unsafe variant of each wall to make your own biomes by dropping the safe wall variant into Shimmer, allowing you to build your own dungeon anywhere in the world, in fact. This is the link to the wiki page as my source: terraria.wiki.gg/wiki/Dungeon_Brick_Walls

@@ProbablyAPerson-vt1ux Yeah that's fair

[@puritan7473]

Woah, I never knew this, thank you!

[@Dr._Lemongrab]

@@puritan7473 It's weird that there's no explanation for it in-game, you can be farming in one place for hours without knowing why only the same enemies keep spawning. It's not even a new mechanic or anything, it's been around since the introduction of post-plantera dungeon and most people still don't know about it. I only even know about it from prowling through the Wiki page for Shimmer and seeing that you can make cursed dungeon walls.

It's incredible to watch someone approach Terraria the way one might approach a logistics game like Factorio. I'd love to see you play games and challenges in that genre. I think your problem solving narrative style would fit that genre well.

Did you know you can shimmer dungeon brick walls to make cursed dungeon brick walls. Cursed walls will allow enemies to spawn. Meaning you could have had paladins spawning in the hallowed farm you made. I believe you can also do this with spider walls, but you managed to get spider fangs pretty easily so it didn’t matter. Loved the vid btw. I’m glad you came back to do it in master mode

[@FilthyGorilla44]

Immaculate storytelling, editing..... questionable jokes... Overall amazing vid and a worthy successor to the last traps video

[@user-wi6zy2li2f]

Nah the jokes were AMAZING. "This time I was too low, so I despawned."

[@danielbarker2522]

​@user-wi6zy2li2f a good joke usually isn't telegraphed like that before it happens. Unless the target audience is young children, but then again terrarias audience extends quits a bit more than that

[@mastersparkles1584]

​@@danielbarker2522I don't agree with that at all. Shows like Archer embrace that idea flawlessly. Your understanding of comedy sounds very limited.

[@gooober69420]

[@ch1kn_tenders]

If you play modded, there's a mod called MrPlague's Authentic Races. It has a Lizhard class that starts with 6 sentry golems that scale dmg from your defense, but your own characters dmg is cut in half. Defensive Golem: Spawns Walls on either side to deal contact dmg. Laser Golem: Latches onto ceiling and floor moving vertically and shoots out a laser to its side. Chain gun Golem: Same as Laser Golem But Horizontal. Latching Golem: Shoots out chains to nearby enemy's to imped their movement for a few seconds. Chain ball Golem: Has 2 spinning BALLS that go around it hitting enemy's, does the most dmg compared to other traps. Finally, Healing Golem: Shoots out a little heart bomb, when it explodes it heals you if your near it. I'm going to try a playthrough with it because of this video, I hope it turns out well :)

[@OwOstrich]

7:58 i think it's a pun about how boulder sounds like bolder. like, "an even *boulder* strategy"

[@Eclipse.clover]

​@@Eclipse.clover bro quenched even whooshed himself with that joke

[@scandalfop2093]

I've watched my fair share of Terraria challenge videos and thought some of them were just straight up insane. And this is one of the craziest and most impressive things I've seen in Terraria, no exaggaration. As someone who is perfectly comfortable at making use of every single advantage I have and only going at the bosses after over preparing in Expert mode, I can't even imagine myself beating the first boss with traps in Master mode, let alone Moon Lord. Also, your edits are awesome. They are just right in that there's not too many cuts or unnecessary effects. The occasional joke was also done very tastefully, never getting to the point where I thought it got annoying but always there and making me smile. All n all, great video. You definitely earned a sub.

[@SpicyChips_]

Idea: beat master mode with only wepons found in chests. Every chest is in play, including all mimics.

[@johnnycanny8756]

I don't think thats doable, the last chest you get is shadow chests(unless you count mimics)and shadow chest loot can't out dps the healing of moonlord

[@MikiES-hg9zu]

[@Dr._Lemongrab]

@@johnnycanny8756 That's not true, the hardmode chests in the Dungeon exist. I don't think that makes the challenge possible though. None of these weapons do enough DPS to take down the moon lord thanks to its healing.

[@mohawkmaster5728]

Ok but genuinely, the modifications to the trap hallway that you made for The Twins fight was genius, i would never have thought of something like that and I might have to try a modified version of it as a summoner player

[@SpiderJAAM]

This man is the definition of *patience.* 444 deaths!? WTF!? Also, idea for future challenge: "Terraria but I can only deal damage with accessories"

[@giovannibaratto9188]

That's literally impossible. The first accessory you get is the shield of chtulhu.

[@SpiderJAAM]

@@giovannibaratto9188 Strat, make some floating houses, (casually) place lava on the floor, spawn the king slime, he receives damage from npcs and lava, then get the slimy saddle and kill the eye with it. Or kill the eye with minecarts.

[@Niewiem0]

It is completly possible :)

[@giovannibaratto9188]

@@Niewiem0 please do explain.

[@SpiderJAAM]

@@giovannibaratto9188 If we count mounts as accesories, just place lava or get NPCs to kill King Slime (or use a ainecarts to kill the Eye). If not, the only option would be to make the the NPCs to kill the Eye of Cthulhu, and kill Deerclops by bonking him with the Shield 505 times (in Master Mode).

[@ACrazyGuy-pf5eq]

love how all your videos start with something along the lines of "this should be easy" followed by a quick montage of deaths

[@JJSquirtle]

37:20 It appears you built the trap in front of pink slab wall. Bone Lee can spawn anywhere, but the paladin demands Dungeon Brick Wall specifically to spawn (Marked with the necromantic sign and marching bones banners)

[@JustAnAveragePersonButBetter]

Very epic video idea, can't wait to see how you've done it

[@StarSword_9]

Yo this video is so good, keep up the good work, love the series 💯

[@Interesting_Failure]

Those 50 hardmode dungeon deaths need to be remixed into something; very melodic.

[@Dinamo-dx1nz]

Sir, you are amazing and deserving of being called a genius, this run seemed pretty dificult and very calculated, i cant think of how it was possible to bear all that suffering, grinding and planeation but you did it and arise victorious, you never give up on the challenge and i respect that, you are a great terraria player, content creator and most important, a person with respectable will, keep up the good content man ❤

[@gorillagorilla4085]

I think that for Golem instead of getting the RoD you can simply make a hoik which lets you out of the temple. Insane video tho!

[@trustedc6133]

This is wrong, the walls are too thick. You’re thinking of the trick where you put a hook at the door of the temple which lets you phase through it.

[@simoxeh]

My biggest opinion as a non expert who hasn't played terraria since they first introduced master mode is you don't have ways to dodge. If you just had platforms every so often allowing you to jump up and then drop by down, you would have forced some enemies to go higher and stay in higher damage zones and it allows you to dodge more often. Damage output would suffer some but I don't think it would matter much since you'd be more likely to survive and you could make bosses go back to where they take the most damage. You did something similar with Empress but you were going down taking the enemy out of damage zone. I would even say if you die that way. Put boulders there and when you drop down push a button that makes the floor solid again and activates the boulders. Not sure that is possible with one button but if it is that keeps damage going while you dodge. Just a few thoughts. You did an awesome job. I could never do this. It was great to watch.

THE LEGEND POSTED ANOTHER BANGER

[@bebramaker]

whenevr i see ur vid i know that next 50 minutes will be awesome

[@elliotthannam8374]

Can you beat terraria while actively fishing. What I mean by this is that During boss fights you need to be fishing most of the time, meaning direct damage is banned. If this damage form can't do damage while you are holding a fishing rod, you can't use it. So summons, sentries, traps, etc. are allowed. It would be less painful probably but I'd love to see it. I want to see an arena that's got pools of water all over the place so you can dodge and continue fishing. The idea is that you have to be actively reeling in fish during boss fights and monster grinding and such. Basically you know if you fish without a safety box you have a build that maximizes passive damage with stuff like the bone helm from deer clops and the spore sac from plantera? I just think it'd be really cool to have the player beating a boss and grinding fishing loot at the same time.

[@udc8453]

I am not sure, but i think the problem of dungeon traps not doing much dmg is the spiked balls trap, it seems to give the enemies i frames which doesnt allow other traps to hit them. I realized that when using the spiked ball on my mob trap.
