Terraria, but you start with a Portal Gun | Terraria x Portal

[@Tru3thful]

Here's a transportation idea: make a bridge out of Frozen Slime Blocks for world travel, and then when you need to get somewhere, set up portals so you get the massive fall speed with Portal Gun to launch you horizontally onto the Frozen Slime Blocks. Then enjoy the hyperspeed sliding.

[@kerbonaut2059]

Frozen Slime Blocks would work like Propulsion Gel!

I think the problem of "this is just a regular playthrough but with a portal gun" should be less of an issue in hardmode when you start fighting bosses you're meant to have wings for wingless

[@astro_snax]

I think it could get really interesting with the arena prep/ fun with portals, like using the velocity of the portals to dodge projectiles, or lining solid blocks throughout an arena for creating portals to evade incoming attacks/juke bosses, there's so many options. Also has the advantage of freeing up an equipable slot reserved for mobility, which can be replaced with a dps accessory or something

[@theregularterrarian3933]

tbh starting with the portal gun is actually a great idea, it's rarely ever used otherwise Same with the Gravity Globe and most other post-Moonlord items

[@hencethebeetroot]

Just a tip for mage playthroughs, portal gun or no Cursed flames (the magic book) can absolutely carry you up to Golem when combined with a mana flower and a healthy number of mana potions. I'd recommend getting that as your first priority, along with finding the wizard for an easy source of greater mana potions.

[@fernando47180]

9:40 Don't forget the magic missile! After it was reworked in 1.4, it is one of the best magic weapons pre hardmode. Good per shot damage lets it go through armored foes, and it has good knockback, two things the bee gun and the staffs lack. It has some splash damage, and the shots hone in on enemies, making it perfect for quick bursts of devastating damage. Directing each shot by holding down click is but a novelty use now. I always try to get one, even if I'm not going for a mage run. 11:30 My heart is broken :(

[@gecko0]

feel like the dirt rod would be interestingly useful, being able to instantly turn all hammered forms of dirt into its unhammered form to create a portal surface

[@IDESTROYER236]

Wand of Sparking and Dirt Rod playing co-op?

[@nebulous9280]

Hardmode is where it gets especially tricky. Mobility is crucial later on, so you'll have to come up with some creative solutions.

[@trainershade1937]

Mobility can be substituted by prep. Albeit, a lot of the ways they could prep are unavailable. They can still come up with a few methods. Minecarts are one example, and they did use one in the video. Alternatively, a more fitting solution for the playthrough, they could make large box arenas with platforms that don't extend to the wall. Doing so would allow them to always make a portal, yet main elevation thanks to the platforms. Otherwise they could use teleport pads or a hoik, though the latter would be kind of lame. Lastly, there is always asphalt blocks.

[@jakeupsy7725]

So you gotta think with portals?

[@seamoose9039]

It's nice to see a more relaxed playthrough, after the Majora's mask one

[@ataberkdedemen9802]

About prehardmode mage armors, Diamond Robe with Mage Hat is also solid and leaves the leg slot open for you to place a part through another armor while stll giving a set bonus.

[@celestialtree8602]

For mage, I'd recommend having a handful of weapons on-hand; usually I have at least a primary and around-corners one (Magic Missile, Vilethorn, and bouncy things like Cursed Flames are good for this), but different crowd-control and single-target weapons may help a lot. And then there's stuff like the Life Drain which is nice to have on-hand for extra regen, and the Ice Rod which actually could be REALLY useful for that playthrough since you'd be able to create portalable surfaces midair anywhere. To be honest I generally have like a half-dozen weapons in my hotbar at any given time when playing mage.

[@Tortferngatr]

Nimbus Rod is another good thing I keep around just because the cloud is incredibly helpful for some situations and doesn't go away when swapping to another weapon.

I do like the idea of using the portal gun as an alternate to early game mobility. The portal gun tends to be underlooked due to having the best mobility at the end of the game, so this is a nice challenge.

[@PaulonTheBrave]

Yeah the portal gun allways was shafted by it being a drop of the literal last boss in the game. By the time you get it you have no use for it due to having better movement options.

I want to see another part to this as a lot of the boss fights in hard mode often include using so means of flight which you won't have for the purposes of this playthrough. The portal gun would also give new ways of fighting certain bosses that would make them a little more unique than normal. Plantera, as you mentioned, would definitely be different as instead of circling, you would effectively be using screen wrapping as a means of evading attacks. Also, skeletron had some trouble keeping up but could still hit you while queen bee had no problem at all. It makes curious as to how the other hard mode bosses would fair. If nothing else, this playthrough could serve as an experiment as to how well certain bosses can deal with portals. It also just seems like a fun way to better learn about the mechanics of the portal gun, so I think this series should continue. Anyways, good video, and I am excited to see more.

1:34 When it comes to the bosses, you're gonna have to think differently than what you're used to; navigating the world may not be so bad when using a Portal Gun, but when bosses come, it's time to pull out the big brains. Perhaps try setting up some sort of floating walls to place portals on? If that doesn't work, then maybe try something else; 2 walls on both sides of a long platform, set portals, then move back and forth, although this may be a bit cheese-esque, so only try if all else fails. I like this sort of challenge idea, by the way, been keepin' myself up-to-date with your videos!

[@Hadeles]

do it with Portal Gun Physics and Anything Through Portals, it's good :) Portal Gun Physics just makes the physics applied to you when you hold the portal gun get applied to you all the time, and Anything Through Portals allows anything to go through portals. edit: BTW made this comment during watching the video, he legit said "it's sad that projectiles can't go through portals" download Anything Through Portals, it's really fun second edit: imagine the ability to make portals in the 3rd dimension which can be put on background walls (press keybind/hover over item and right click to switch between 3rd dimension portal and 2d portal) idea for allowing conservation of momentum through wall portals: keep the exact momentum you had when entering the portal (this allows wall portals and 2d portals to work!)

Challenges like these remind me that you can always have a kind of New Game+ in Terraria. For me, that would mean taking items like the golden bugnet, golden fishing rod, cellphone and maybe the discount card (or whatever that combined pirate accessory was). Stuff that doesn't make you much more powerful than you'd normally be but could save you a bunch of grinding on repeat playthroughs. The Portal Gun could definitely be included since you'd never get to use it otherwise and isn't an offensive tool on it's own, but might allow for some creative solutions and maneuvering in bossfights.

I can’t quite remember what it was called off the top of my head, but there’s a mod that, among many other things, adds fully functional versions of the Nail weapon from Hollow Knight, and each of its upgraded variants. So here’s my idea. -You must wear the mod’s included vanity set of The Knight at all times. -The Nail is your only weapon. -One vein of platinum is one fragment of Pale Ore. Follow the upgrade costs of the original game. -You must spend the entire run underground, only returning to the surface when absolutely necessary, to mimic the original game’s setting of the underground kingdom of Hallownest. -Every single-heart health upgrade now costs four life crystals. -The same applies to mana crystals, though you only need to collect three per upgrade. --You must follow the fifty-seven precepts of Zote.- -Don’t do that last one actually. Those are all of the rules I can think of right now but feel free to reply with your own. You can tweak and change various bits of the ruleset to make it more strict/lenient, this was just my idea.
