The WORST Jungle Temple Imaginable...| Terraria, but filled with Shimmer [Ep#4]

[@dazcarrr]

congratulations on beating the moonlord! you can now make a bottomless shimmer bucket, allowing you to bring the liquid anywhere in your world

[@a_random_xenomorph]

That will be very useful in this world

[@DeXyfero]

With this item, its so bottomless you could even make a world filled with shimmer! Wait..

[@Mecceldorf]

Imagine the moon lord filling this whole world with shimmer and laughing in sat AM mockery that the only way to fix it is to beat him.

[@SuperFloxes]

10:14 Watching you painstakingly drain all of that shimmer, only for the map to reveal that you were only *maybe* a third of the way done, was like that cartoon gag of watching a character exhaust themselves while climbing the stairs and then zooming out to see that they've only climbed three steps.

[@Greywander87]

That's a good gag, especially with copious use of fade cuts to create the impression that a lot of time has passed. Cue another character saying something like, "It hasn't even been 10 seconds!" Especially if the actual run time of that sequence actually is less than 10 seconds.

15:08 When you're in darkness, the companion cube will sometimes "stab" the player for 1 damage, referring to GladOs in portal 2 saying something like "The weighted compainion cube will not threaten to stab you"

[@jedcc.]

I'm pretty sure it's in portal 1 but I could be wrong

[@randomguy1826]

I think theres something more i need to understand from this phrase.

[@MentiPW]

Pro tip: If you're fighting Lunatic Cultist during the night and haven't brought a Hunter Potion, the one kind of fitting more with the lighting will be the correct one. In this video it's always the darker cultist being correct.

[@snaggy4811]

Looking at the cultist's eyes is another way

[@dazcarrr]

basically, the clones aren't affected by background lighting

[@wolfiesworld2755]

Yeah I always do that it's so much easier than the eyes

[@arandomswingcopter8297]

that's also in every world

[@Jun88782]

Honestly I didn't even know the hunter potion didn't affect the clones, I always go at night since I thought that was the way to do it lmao

[@TriforceZard]

I like how the one playthrough where they patch jungle temple cheese is the one where you need cheese the most.

[@biggiecheeseofficial]

No they kept the actuator cheese they just made it so you cant see the wires in the temple so that you cant remove them all with the grand design. The actuators were there he just cant see them

[@hisupwassup]

WoS when fighting Lunatic cultist: always checks him by color Also WoS when the color is different: *_"go for the eyes"_*

[@frostbite5607]

Fun fact: the wires and actuators placed were still there, but you couldn't see them. That wasn't re-logic patching the actuator cheese, but they were instead patching the grand design wire cutter disarm all traps cheese. (Edit): I realized that they patched both cheeses, I only figured out the actuator patch recently.

[@aurias42]

Oh so you can still just actuate straight into the golem room? Honestly I would have patched that first lol

[@general.catallion_8054]

@@aurias42 problem is, sometimes the temple generation bugs out and it becomes impossible to reach the golem chamber, so there needs to be a way to "cheese" your way to the chamber.

[@aurias42]

@@general.catallion_8054 hmm yeah that's a gen bug that they should fix but you *could* solve that just fine with tedit, and I've never run into that so it must be very unlikely

12:05 couldn't have said it better my self, wand of sparking Also good news for any challenge that goes past moon lord: After moonlord the pillars only take 50 kills for the shield to lower Also the only other playthrough that took longer than 20 hours was the one which you really shouldn't have even attempted ( no Es run )

[@An_ImaginaryFriend]

personally, i dont think re-logic should patch the shimmer reforging it's free, but it takes much more time than reforging with the tinkerer. i think it's balanced this way

[@snaggy4811]

@ehabaayash9521 not sure why that's interesting but thanks for letting me know i guess

[@NoName5589]

I wouldn't worry about it, that idiot pasted that into every single comment

[@gavinblosser163]

the solar eclipse that spawned just before plantera gave me an idea for a myth, if you spawn an event that changes its loot after you defeat a boss, what would happen if you defeat the boss while the event it going? sorry if this has already been suggested

[@millennialking8409]

It has already been done. He tested it with a solar eclipse and reaper spawns after he killed all the mechs. Sure enough, after the bosses died, reapers started spawning

i'm pretty sure that this has already been done, not only in vanilla, but also in calamity. hooks can be quite poweful if you know how to use them for mobility

[@Jig_up]

So the world had about a day and a quarter of playtime, all in all? That’s long, but even so, it’s surprisingly not “forever long”- I can’t remember which play through of yours it was that took roughly half an eon (or at least long enough for fossilization to occur), though I think it was the no e’s play through? Either way, a surprisingly reasonable (in relative terms) time frame! Hopefully editing down all the footage wasn’t too painful. Anyhow! Excellent work, I admire the dedication, and this has been one of my favorite Terraria series of yours for quite some time :D thank you for all that you do, and fare thee well

[@chaseashby8585]

i like how he mentioned wanting a sun stone on a world that is always night time and doesn't comment on why

You had golem troubles like me in my playthrough I just did to get all the achievements, difference being the kind of problem. I was playing master mode and the Golem "arena" was just a long corridor that Golem's jumps easily cleared the ceiling of. I had to bait him out of the temple into my Plantera arena in the end 🤣. Regardless I had a blast watching this series and am eagerly anticipating your next series!

[@ourjoy2x527]

29 hours is still about my best time for a normal master mode playthrough

[@nyscersul42]

About the mimics - i found with the hell start that a base in hell ends up producing a massive amount of mimics during a bloodmoon, enough in fact that the bloodmoon fought in hell is the most profitable event for me even after reaching pumpkin/frost moon events, cos i can afk the monsters easy and superfast with my teleporter systems. Easily killing 20-30 mimics a night sometimes and getting 15-20 platinum per night. Not much good loot which at first was annoying until i realised that the lack of good loot was a good thing - trash everything that doesnt stack cos it's value is nothing compared to the about 50-80 gold per mimic. Sooooo many pennys.

[@arieltimeshrine8137]

I think the True Night's Edge projectile factors in character inertia, so you just have to adjust further back depending on which way you're moving.

[@ChaosHavox]

Huurm. Challenge idea! You've done a world of lava, a world of shimmer, and all the other liquids...now...how about all at once?! Water, lava, honey, and shimmerd distributed with no rhyme or reason, and on the Getfixed seed?

an idea that i had that isn't as crazy as the rest of the ones you've had lately is co-op with deadbug, but you both have pvp on so you have to worry about killing each other during bosses.

[@fourstones1860]

15:09 it was the companion cube i think

[@scroogledoogle3028]

Perhaps via a combination of the trick you used at the start of temple infiltration (filling shimmer with blocks then rejoining world), hoiking or placement range extensions to place the tiles and scarab bombs to remove the tiles, you could drain the golem chamber directly and drop in from top? perhaps even placing liquids inside the shimmer directly, if that's possible, to create blocks without needing to rejoin the world to empty them of liquid. In general I think the temple provides a set of limitations that could have some cool additional solutions, if you find that interests you enough to revisit outside of this series.

[@nemtudom5074]

6:45 Hoiking through the temple door still works

[@SilvaStormm]

I'm not quite sure why you took damage at 15:20 either. I mean the only thing near you was the companion cube, and it would never stab you in the back. Especially not in the dark.

[@kirbomatic1573]

an idea I have for another playthrough: Terraria, but your only movement methods are wings, hooks, the portal gun, and Rod of Harmony (if you want more of a challenge, Rod of Discord). you start with the Rod of Harmony and portal gun, but you cannot walk, go up or down ropes, or fall through platforms. I'm currently doing this challenge myself, and it's pretty fun, although some bosses require a lot more strategy than before. I definitely recommend it.

[@doomgolem5348]

I'm also trying your horrible idea, (no way I'll beat 29 hours). one thing though, I think some other people might've pointed it out but a very easy way to see which cultist is which is that the correct one will have a more dark grey shading and will look slightly duller colours

15:07 maybe the companion cube wanted to stab you in complete darkness before you entered the room, and it carried over until you de--shimmered?

[@lyoukeefen7199]

Cultist tip. If he doesn’t have clones yet, then if you’re on his left when summoning the real one is always bottom right, and if you’re on the right the real one is always top

[@jonathanouyang]

15:12 pretty sure that's a feature of the companion cube, in complete darkness it starts to kill you

[@tomfool5460]

Tip for the lunatic cultist: the real cultist is affected by lighting while the fakes are not, so if one of the cultist is a different shade than that will be the real one

For the lunatic cultist as long as you fight it at night you can just attack the one that isn’t lit up

[@zodi4991]

good job, that was a great serie

[@PhantoomWriter]

I have an idea for a maybe fun or horrible playthrough; you could go as whatever class you want to go with, but as soon as you find a weapon (in a chest, mob loot, boss drops,) you have to entirely continue the playthrough in that class, and switch when you find a different weapon: For example, you go ranged but you find a Spear, so now you have to go melee. But then you find a Wand of Sparking, so now you have to be mage. Do you think you could try that out?

[@Ell0_sTadium66]

this was entirely expert mode, so good job on defeating the moon lord!!

[@GeneralSpritz]

Here's a run idea; Terraria, but you have to kill bosses with certain random weapons. Forces varied playstyles, and keeps the fights interesting.

[@DeuxisWasTaken]

When fighting at night it's very easy to spot the real cultist because he's the only one that's dark - the rest, being effectively projectiles, aren't affected by light. Honestly surprised you didn't spot that yet, assuming you always use hunter potion and are too focused at looking at the eyes when not.

[@velvette_star]

Damn. That was my favorite playthrough of yours.

15:11 it wasnt actually the shimmer that damaged you, the companion cube has a chance to “stab you” or deal 1 damage when it is dark enough
