Terraria Complete Arrows Guide! Best and Worst Arrows in Terraria 1.4!

[@UncleHornieAUS]

I'd like to point out that hellfire arrows can be dropped from breaking the pots in hell. This means they're available pre-boss. They're incredibly viable against the brains creepers, as the area damage and knock back can keep them away, while dealing a large amount of damage.

[@qwormuli77]

They're also great against creatures resistant to knockback, which bows struggle against a lot.

[@Majora404err01r]

i killed the twins with hellfire arrows.

[@isirachehansa4886]

Hellfire arrows very good against events and normal mobs like wolves possed armor got knocked bac so far so u can escape

[@sul4110]

tbh the hellfire arrows is a huge carry for pre hardmode archers and for early hardmode archer (it destroys the destroyer wheb paired with dael stormbow)

[@claymor]

Brain Creepers easiest enemies of nebula.

[@drfab_4493]

hell-fire arrows are incredibly op against the wall of flesh, as long as you use a fast bow such as the hellwing bow

[@Neopolitan_Illusion]

Plus the high knockback helps you survive early hardmode when enemies are very annoying

Hellwing bow with wooden arrows is better

[@deon5729]

Hellwing bow with wooden is better becaus it clears out hungry and deals damage to boss becaus they pierce infinitly and a lot of hellfire ones will be stoped by hungry and just to clarify wooden arrows turn to helbats with this boss

[@blu.draigon]

That's what I did

[@julienyau250]

Another plus for frost burn arrows is that the arrows and the effect doesn’t get extinguished underwater, so if you ever get stuck in water and can’t see anything because it’s dark, you can light up the water by shooting the arrows, and if an enemy has frostburn applied to it, the effect still remains even in the water.

[@kubula5312]

One thing to note about Aerial bane and Pulse bow is that they turn ANY arrow into their respective special arrow, so you DON'T want wooden arrows with those. Venom arrows are much better for their superior damage. As for chlorophyte, remember that you can grow it by making simple farms underground. It doesn't completely negate that issue, but atleast they are technically unlimited. As for hellfire arrows, they have the highest base damage of all arrows in pre-hm, so they are great when paired with molten fury, especially against queen bee (splash even gets rid of her minions). They are also incredibly usefull in early hm, when you don't have any hm ammo yet (pretty sure they can deal some decent damage against the destroyer, if you can't or don't want to use holy arrows)

[@kiiukanara149]

Chlorophyte actually is unlimited thanks to dirt bombs. If you throw a dirt bomb on a one-block space in the air, the bomb will give you more dirt than consumed, making dirt renewable. And through crafting, that makes mud renewable. Since chlorophyte turns mud into more chlorophyte, that makes chlorophyte entirely renewable so long as you're willing to spend the time to use this method.

[@yummowickersham7746]

Marrow also turns all arrows into high velocity arrows

[@SuperCatacata]

That makes 0 sense when you claim they change every arrow no matter what. But then recommend using a specific arrow type for those bows. Shouldn't it not matter? Your comment really doesn't make sense with that wording. If it keeps arrow damage, that means the bows only change the appearance, and not the arrow base type

[@kubula5312]

@SuperCatacata Quite an old comment, ehh? Anyways, I said it doesn't matter for these 2 bows what arrows you use, but you usually want arrows with high base damage as it is the only thing they keep. Should have mentioned that, that's true. Also they don't keep any of their extra properties, so no funny shenanigans with arrows with more interesting effects. Tbh I would like to see chlorophyte arrows, causing them to bounce around

[@TheOriginalStarwalker83]

If you want better unicorn spawns: First maybe make your hallow a bit bigger so a part of it is offscreen on both sides. Now make it more flat it doesnt need to be Super flat just a bit atleast. And now stand in the middle of your flat hallow area and place a water candle. Make sure you do it when its Day time because at night time they wont spawn very often because of other enemies like gastropods. You can probably make it (kinda) afk by making a hole and putting lava there so they Fall into it. This wont make unicorns spawn like every second but they do spawn more frequently along side with pixies

[@pendragon.-.]

Also use battle potions

[@TheOriginalStarwalker83]

@@pendragon.-. not neccesary but it will help a lot

[@lauanimations8304]

Another option is making a long pearlstone platform above the surface. Also, water candles tend to help as well.

[@robsfanimations2300]

If your lucky enough to find a unicorn statue then holy arrows aren't even a problem anymore

[@m4y013]

I don't know why but in every single my world they just spawn every where as long it was hallowed which is normally about 35% on my large world

[@highlyhydrated]

Wish we had more varients of the Endless Quiver

[@itsamewedchan1297]

If all the arrows have an endless quiver variant, then that would be op in my opinion especially if the arrows is rare to get.

[@beepboop6757]

fun fact, if you use the endless quiver and the molten quiver, you get infinite flaming arrows

[@elbunko_]

I think Endless Quiver is good enough, an endless Holy Quiver is a little too OP imo

[@dimsthedimwit600]

I think luiafk has those

[@Dragonfire-ir5ln]

Fargo's mutant mod has those plus a mixed one where it just spams all the arrows, definetely not broken

[@gunstru]

Note, combining the pure dmg of Venom arrows with bows that shoot special property arrows usually results in an overall higher dps as the special arrows gain the dmg from venom, when used with something like eventide or Ariel bane it’s devastating

[@pendragon.-.]

Only aerial bane and pulse bow, eventide requires wooden arrows to use it on its full potential

Hellfire arrows combined with a daedalus stormbow, make the pirate invasion a breeze. Just box yourself in and shoot at them. Even the captain ghost won't be able to do anything since the arrow knockback just stun-locks him.

[@ShadeDaShade]

just gave me another idea for destroyer. thanks.

[@Boss_Big]

I agree with you with the hellfire arrows, they aren't that bad, but simply annoying, also, they suffer from I-frames

[@supernova3241]

The knock back of the hellfire arrows is actually very useful, especially on master mode. Because enemies hit very hard, the knockback can really save you in some situations. I recently started a master mode playthrough and the knockback and splash damage from the arrow saved my life in the dungeon multiple times.

[@neotimekeeper6592]

Phantasm with Luminite Arrows is just really fun to use along with damage and critical chance increasing equipment, thanks Zuzucorn!!

[@jonah2103]

Hellfire arrows are amazing for pre hardmode bosses as the very accessible and do lots of damage they also look Cool and feel great to use

[@thedeuces8851]

I like how everyone's pointing out how good Hellfire arrows are I agree

[@partydue123]

When i saw that the chlorophyte arrows smart bounce, it reminded me of Revolver Ocelots unlockable revolver from MGSV, it's bullet can bounce and hit nearby enemies. both very helpful for hitting enemies from around cover or through small holes.

[@Flynt010]

Hey Zuzu, could you consider doing sort of a calamity walkthrough like you did with the vanilla game? And if so, it would be appreciated if you started with summoner. I know plenty of other people have covered calamity but you do it in such a way that make it way more enjoyable to watch so that's why I wanted to bring it up. Anyhow, take care if you do see this, keep up the great content

[@oobah3413]

One feature that I think would be really cool would be the ability to select what arrows you want each bow to shoot. So you can maybe have one for ichor arrows and another for curses flames

[@anonymouspotato3584]

That would open up great possibilities, you can use one bow for ichor arrows and then one for cursed arrows and you're not just reducing their defense, you're also dealing higher dps

[@shreyash643]

With the blast, hellfire arrows are crowd control weapons so the high knockback is good in my opinion

[@scotte3060]

especial in the dungeon

[@ninja6245-real]

Plus great with a T3 hard mode Ore repeater when it comes to killing mimics.

[@FadeRev]

I remember, that when I played on xbox 360, you could combine two molten furys, and make the sharangan that turned the wooden arrows into spectral arrows. The spectral arrows inflict the debuff, cursed inferno.

[@mattnator]

Hellfire arrows are very good early hardmode, as youll be walking prey for the enemies in hardmode, and the knockback means youre less likely to get swarmed by them

[@Zeelian]

I love the way the sparkles from the Jester arrows light up and reveal blocks as they travel.

[@ahmataevo]

..."Bows like the eventide, or even end-game bows like the phantasm!" Empress of Light - "I guess I'm not end-game anymore""

[@salarmer1633]

It would’ve been cool if you talked more about the bows with special arrows, my 2 favourite ones are the ice bow that’s dropped from the ice biome mimics and the bow that’s dropped by the mini boss on the goblin army event, you can obtain them early hard mode and they are really good, the one the goblin mini boss drops inflicts a debuff similar to frost burn but way stronger and the arrows pierce enemies, while the ice bow shoots ice arrows that are really fast and do good damage, after I found the mage I bought him the magic ball and made the magic quiver. Those 2 bows carried me all the way to plantera on expert.

[@Zuzucorn]

Well, it is an arrow guide and not a bow guide after all

[@Smiles-Youtube]

The only reason I even use hellfire arrows is cause there insane with the Daedalus storm bow in early hard mode and I use them to kill the mechs before my hallow gets big enough for stuff like unicorns to spawn

[@TheRealChangeOfPace]

Just started a Ranger playthrough a couple days ago. This will be a great help in knowing which arrows to go for. I decided to model my character after Pathfinder from MapleStory, and name my world Maple Island

[@mrhat1073]

in my experience, hellfire arrows and to some extent, meteor shot, have issues regarding immunity frames. always hated using them due to some of the ammo doing nothing when a group of enemies or the same enemy is struck multiple times in quick succession

[@funnyrockangry]

can we all please put the content aside for a second and appreciate this guy's super calm voice?

[@Blaze_and_Nobody]

The wof can be easily defeated with hellfire arrows, because they do a lot of damage with the explosion. Without any knockback they can be used to focus on mobility more that accuracy because if you hit your arena the wof will still take damage.

[@banana0281]

Thanks to this guide I have single handedly destroyed the lunatic cultist with jester arrows and killed the vortex and stardust pillers with a magic quiver.

[@basedandredpille]

clorophyte arrows are the most underrated thing in the game, you don't even have to aim to evaporate a group of enemies especially in caves

Zuzucorn:hellfire arrows don’t hurt you Me playing legacy console edition: Oh really?

[@unevennoble9363]

I feel like everyone forgets the shotbow exists even though it is stupid OP regardless of what youre fighting. At the same time theres a weird purple bow thats still viable post golem despite being gotten at the start of the game.

I don’t use luminite arrows because they aren’t good, also good video

I'd like to point out that the the phantasm is the creator of the lasers while the luminite arrows create the spectral arrows. Not the other way round

[@bloorb0569]

Hellfire arrows are basically just used for bosses and early pre hardmode where enemies don't get knocked back as much I recall, so I'd argue they're still good arrows it's just that they serve and alternate purpose.

[@scratch2630]

[@ericphillips8268]

11:03 If you don't wanna go through that, I'd suggest playing on a Drunk World and killing WoF on a crimson day. You still have access to cursed flames because World Feeders can spawn on the surface corruption.

[@bigjoe114]

I love that now the shimmer is in the game you can buy a chest full of arrows at the start of the game and upgrade all of them to your best type then when you are able to get new ones throw them in the shimmer

With the endless quiver I just use for day to day uses while I save the special arrows for bosses and events

[@luckybrand6762]

Thank you for talking up venom arrows. No one believes me when I bring up the damage over time math.

[@dustyfedora]

Hellfire Arrows are really good for WoF, the high damage output, area of effect, and knock back make them really useful for dealing with and keeping the hungry at bay.

[@RidduRidwanyes]

I though I didn’t need your guides because I knew all about Terraria but you actully taught me things I did not know

[@ninjawrech5342]

Daedalus plus hellfire is extraordinarily underrated. It shreds destroyer, and although holy arrows are probably better, hellfire arrows are much easier to get and are way more satisfying to use.

[@michaellogozzo2073]

Two things about Hellfire arrows, 1) they’re technically obtainable pre boss and 2 they’re VERY good against WOF and Destroyer (along with BOC or EOW if you get them before)

[@picwickerton]

This really helped me for my choice of ammunition for my daduleus stormbow. Keep up the good work!

[@sukinero610]

If unicorns are scarce in your world, make two tall pillars of dirt in the hallow, make two lengths of platforms, (not too long, just enough so that the other side is not visible from the other end) and use a battle potion, water candle, and, if it's nighttime, use a bloody tear. I got six to ten horns each day with this. However, keep a chest nearby because your inventory will be stuffed with pixie dust.

[@dantheclam1476]

Yes

[@CapFlipGaming]

I just set up a little unicorn farm with a unicorn statue. Endless holy arrows is pretty amazing. I use them exclusively.

[@mtbw1ll82]

After watching this video I felt entertained encouraged and like I had a place to call home

[@envallion]

Imo hellfire arrows are good for bows like the Stormbow because their area damage helps with the inaccuracy of the bow

[@cloverdraws2162]

I swear to you, if the guide had a voice in the real game this would be it. Trust 👊

[@Pond-King]

the stars from holy arrows deal half the damage of the arrow, which means holy arrows arent stronger when using a bow that shoots multiple arrows, in fact they are slightly better when using slow firing but high damage bows

[@BreadBreadBreaddd]

Adamantite/titanium repeater with unholy arrows can shred destroyer when your shooting on the right angle

[@nur_ezsay6846]

A point for the hellfire arrow would be that u can dmg mobs throgh solid blocks. I personaly use that quiet often, because u can cheese some mobs with that (like the nymphe).

[@jorjijaeger3556]

I like hellfire arrows, feels like shooting missiles with a bow. The knock back does wonders in early hard mode, keeping that every day enemy away from your squishy ass.

[@Tuplapukki]

After watching a similar video i finally upgraded my ranger set from hellfire arrows and tungsten bullets to venom arrows and high velocity bullets (This happened after i defeated plantera) Also if you want to play as a artillery cannon just craft a repeaters and few hellfire arrows and shoot up and you will eventually learn how to use it. It's not effective in combat but it's fun to use while you're doin something and there's enemies behind a wall.

[@purplehaze2358]

Making the claim that luminite arrows are the best in the game is questionable. Their unique property is so niche that, oftentimes, you're better off just using chlorophyte or holy arrows. At least with them you have a higher likelihood to hit your opponents a second time.

[@SsPoOcKy]

Hellfire arrows good for ice golem farming cause explosion deals damage through walls. Just build 2 high enough walls or box, wait for golem spawn, go inside and yes

[@kikofuku4670]

1.4.4 ( i think it was) added the magma quiver, an upgrade to the magic quiver that set all wooden arrows on fire, and that synergy’s really well with the infinite quiver.and it doesn’t even cost much, as an upgrade that any archer should already be using gets a buff.

[@basedandredpille]

it's obtainable in hardmode and i have no idea why would you use burning arrows in hardmode

[@fzjry]

Hello

[@rob7104whowouldusethis]

i love upgrading to different weapons but i hate upgrading my ammo, so i always go from frostbite arrows, to jester arrows, then i flip a coin to use holy arrows or the given world evil arrows and use whatever the coin chooses for me, and depending on how i feel i may upgrade to chlorophyte ones. this means i upgrade like 3 times, maybe 4 times total. i dont ever see the need to upgrade to luminite ones since im practically done at that point, and i dont feel like grinding luminite for useless arrows

[@yoshus7225]

Hellfire arrows carry you against the wall of flesh with it's huge damage, they are a must have for fighting pre-hardcore bosses.

[@yurgon-qb9xv]

hellfire arrows are generally used for quick crowd control and knocking back enemies early hardmode

[@IamReyver]

I’d say that hellfire arrows are super strong since they drop from hellpots and are preboss and are super op against the evil boss

[@TF2ConscientiousObjector]

Correction: your videos are too good

[@terrablades6975]

Just saying if your overwhelmed by spawn rates you just use some hellfire arrows for a “bit of space”

I used the shot bow and the chloro arrows to shred golem. Indoors they are something else

[@purplehaze2358]

I feel like the molten fury should be buffed to transform arrows into hellfire arrows. At least then I'd actually see a reason for using it.

[@kamerad4749]

Hellfire arrows are great for the perforators, I have personally found, so I would absolutely recommend them.

[@maxidlo1474]

when you defeat alll celestial pillars shoot above yourself with a tsanmi bow + chlorophyte arrows to nearly oneshot the moon lord eye that does the big laser and its even better with the quiver and shroomite armor

[@WDalton1205]

The chlorophyte arrows act similarly to the crystal dart ammo. They both automatically target any nearby enemy after bouncing off a surface. Crystal darts are better, since they pierce more.

After that I use Hellwing Bow with Wooden Arrows to defeat WoF For hardmode I use holy arrows until beating moonlord, after that I use the luminite arrows

[@user-hh7hv6pt9n]

I don’t bother use flame/frost arrows unless early game. As you said each type of arrows have the special time. I don’t use jester on a group of enemies. They quite expensive. So unholy/hell arrows are just renewable at any time from npc so they common use for me. Also holy is the best. Since you set up hallow afk farm. It good. Last thing hellstone arrows are just strong knockback so better be use with enemies with high k/r imo
