This Is All You Need To Beat Terraria

Skyblocks might just be my favourite way of playing Terraria, and Shimmering Skies is one of the most confusing and challenging ones out there! So join me as I battle my way through not just bosses and events, but the hoops I'll need to jump through and puzzles I'll need to solve just to spawn them in the first place. This challenge is going to take a lot longer than just 100 days!

[@bubbline1334]

It's very funny to me how modded Minecraft mod packs often disable any form of universal uncrafting, but Terraria skyblocks are entirely built around it. Neither are better or worse than the other, it's just interesting to see how different a direction terraria went with the same concept.

[@ChiefLogan_]

I think that comes from uncrafting being a vanilla thing in terraria and a modded thing in minecraft, so most terraria mods are balanced around it existing but that’s not the case in minecraft. You can have other mods in the pack that did not anticipate decrafting and then the balance is all out of whack

[@DukasFiguliras]

Sometimes you can find end game items in chests, but the materials to make it are much more difficult to get. With uncrafting, you would have a much easier access to these materials. For skyblock, you could trade with villagers to get diamond gear, and uncraft them for infinite easy diaminds, while actual diamonds are unobitainable in vanilla skyblock

You could make more rails and slope them between the top and bottom. Using a hammer, it's possible to make dual rail tracks that you need to hold up or down to select a path through.

57:57 All of Moonlord’s attacks use what’s called Local iFrames (or is it Static iFrames? They’re similar, I forget). these iFrames protect you from other hits of the same attack. This was done to prevent pea damage cheese, but a side effect is that you can get hit rapidly by two different Moon Lord attacks because their iFrame timers are entirely separate.

[@Numbabu]

Whoa fr?

[@cobaltchromee7533]

I don't think that's how this works, the system just means that the menu will store banners that you've collected to stop clogging your inventory, not that once collected banner could be infinitely spawned. So in short, you can just collect them when you're ready to store/place them instead of having them in inventory

Watching you play through this just reminds me that there are a lot of bosses in Terraria I hate, mostly because the best strategies usually devolve into "sprint across the map" since bosses don't understand the concept of personal space. I would be super into the boss fights if dealing with their patterns was more of a puzzle and less of "try to dodge everything until it screws up your groove via contact damage" and you could do it in a confined space.

[@phzxgames5368]

This could be my lack of expertise and knowledge of Legendary/Remix Seeds, but 44:19 couldn't you still craft a Bloody Spine/Worm Food with an artificial evil biome? That being said, for someone who shivers when clicking the expert mode button this was super awesome to watch, thank you!
