This is a lot easier actually because you can break pots with anything you can place, which includes coins. Just get the guide to kill a few slimes and you can break pots. Now, you cannot pick the coins back up but you can just keep doing it until you get torches so that you can break more pots until you either find a chest with wood or bombs or break a pot with bombs in it.

I remember my first time playing, I saw the trashcan slot and as a test I put items in it that I didnt care about and figured out really quick that it was a delete slot. But then later I had obtained a chest and I excitedly shift-clicked stuff into there, out of habit from playing minecraft. But this was in a version of 1.3 where shift-clicking items immediately sent them to the trash slot. I remember being horrified when I finally realized what I had done, I had deleted some precious ores that I just mined. I also remember feeling relief that I didnt delete my tools because if I had, I would have become softlocked like in this video. For that reason, the idea has stuck with me to this day that 1.) the guide should always respawn first thing in the morning, regardless of if he has a house or not, being the only NPC that can do this, and 2.) if you have no tools in your inventory, the guide should give you copper tools for free when you try to talk to him. This would effectively make it impossible to be softlocked in any world like this.

Hey I was just thinking about doing this myself recently and now youtube shows me this. I know you can throw away/delete your tools and can''t actually make them again easily... Update: So I tried it myself but kept the wooden sword because having Kevin shoot everything for me wasn't the kind of challenge I wanted. I consider it a sharp stick he found on the ground. Every time I thought the world gen had me stuck I eventually pushed forward more and ultimately I did it after I found a sparkle wand I missed which helped me get into an underground jungle area that was punishing me, through to the two chests which had silver and platinum bars inside! Not enough for a pickaxe but enough for an axe which I used to get cactuc and craft a pickaxe. I really had a risk of running out of wood the most even though I was lucky to find some early on, but I needed the platforms to get further too. Like I say I wasn't really going for the challenge I like to roleplay different limitations sometimes, so now I have the axe and pickaxe I'm kinda sticking to not chopping down trees except to clear land or mining except to make a furnace and visible surface ore. Luckily I can get wood by shaking trees with this axe every morning!

There's plenty of other ways to do this. If you wanted more of a challenge you could try and make the reaver shark be your first tool. To get to that point you would need a rod, some bait, and the ability to reach the ocean and not die. The probability of catching the reaver shark, as a "very rare" tier catch, is your Fishing Power divided by 2250, and the highest that value can be is 1/5 or 0.2 for a 20% chance. And then after that it has to pick the reaver shark from the "very rare" catch pool in the ocean which would be the reaver shark, the sawtooth shark, and a golden crate. So you have to get a fishing rod and some bait and then survive to reach the ocean and then have a FP/2250 (max 1/5) divided by 3 chance to get the reaver shark. I'm sure I'm missing something in the probability because of the complicated nature of fishing power, external factors, luck, and more.

Boom, pickaxe, axe, weapon. + weapons from chests / enemies. Guide could kill slimes and zombies, that could give slime staff or zombie arm.

[@Orange0884]

@random content uploader you can only make a wood sword no pickaxe or axe

[@yiitto1]

I'm getting more and more convinced that you're a masochist with each upload

[@Mightyscandare]

Come on . That was fun I did it and yeah it was hader in my word but still fun

[@idontknow4398]

how did this man not produce a lick of anger when he died all those times lol

[@calebshmanderson]

The best way is just finding bombs and the look for a desert, because you just need a few cacti for a cactus pick

[@simonbrown5017]

oh true yeah you can make a workbench too honestly this could be speedrunned in like, sub 1 minute with good rng... find a seed with pots near spawn, then a desert close by (not too insane) get lucky with some bombs and find 3 tall cacti, or some in a group, run complete

[@-w-.]

Have you tried placing down coins? It might work the same as torches

[@SebeastMr-zh4px]

My Minecraft Brain didn’t realize this was a challenge

[@blakeblockblook5522]

The world has a lake next to a big tree, and it has crimson. It looks like one of Ningishu's speedrun worlds.

[@Nugginsworth]

I havnt watched the video yet, but you could get wood in a chest, or farm slimes untill one drops torches, then allowing to break pots, the get bombs Edit: ok litterally 5 seconds after posting this you did that lol

[@craziiemonster]

I would have loved to see the whole playthrough. Starting from absolutely nothing to end up defeating moonlord! But great video anyways!

[@Darkerooz]

I mean to be fair after you get the tools its jist a normal run

[@PlatinumusicLG]

Even if your guide spawns before you get any of the drops, you can still use coins. But, its kind of hard to get coins when you cant kill anything. However, if you are lucky a falling star can kill a zombie or something and you can still break pots.

[@prettymucheverything1033]

Did this. Named my character Steve and gave him a look like him. First world I started had a giant tree on the right, and a giant hill on the left. Immediately soft locked

[@zekxels3351]

I tried this, it's hard if u can't find a chest

[@alternate1242]

It depends on RNG, If a hill with a chest spawns with bombs thats basically good since you can get stuff with the wood

[@simonbrown5017]

100% rng, if you find a chest with like 3 bombs, find a desert, make a cacti pick lol

[@fgregerfeaxcwfeffece]

Yeah, It's underestimated how freakishly strong Steve is. Considering how many cubic meters of gold he can casually carry around on planet with higher gravity he is Dragonball Z level of absurdly strong. Also he can literally punch holes in all destructible materials with his bare fists.

[@mrkitloin]

Yeah but late game terrarian still curb stomps Steve, Steve is just outclassed in both range and mobility and the terrarian can instantly teleport away to an unpredictable location if it somehow is taking too much damage whereas Steve really can’t get away from the terrarian because of the harmony staff. Not to mention the best weapons and armor Steve can get is netherite which doesn’t hold a candle to the late game armors/weapons in terraria

[@mrkitloin]

Plus the amount of gold Steve Carrie’s only totals to about 44,519 tonnes, whereas the terrarian with a full inventory of thrones and platinum armor can carry about 1,775,652 tonnes.

[@hardcodedreborn9650]

Bro in terraria maximum stack is 9999 soo...

[@hadesKIU]

Before watching and coming from a noob, here's generally how I'd expect it to go: 1. Get boomerang/enchanted boomerang from overworld chest 2. Use boomerang/enchanted boomerang to break pots to get explosives 3. Use explosives to acquire wood (if not from normal trees than living trees) 4. Build a crafting bench and start playing like you would normally

[@ImmortalLemon]

Man goes from cowering behind a random guy with a primitive bow to poke slimes for light to killing a moon god. Sounds about right

@@benkoehler9799 for the same reason why people play games like Dark Souls. Pain and suffering is well rewarded by feeling that you are better than the others, because you are able to overcome the difficulty that others are afraid of.

[@advsoup4943]

I would love to see an entire playthrough without tools! Also, you can get wood early without bombs by shaking trees

[@Starfloofle]

need an axe to shake trees

[@j.hawkins8779]

after you get tools, its just a normal game, so there's no point in continuing with it since it wouldn't be that special

[@gavz794]

[@CHEE5E_]

HEELL NAHH 💀

[@R3D_MAN]

[@Voiddity]

Instead of the cobweb method that people are suggesting you could place coins from slimes to break the post

[@UnordinaryTailsGuy]

Tip: If you get lucky world generation and get enough bombs you could get wood and hopefully build a house for a merchant. If you didn't know a merchant can sell a copper axe and pickaxe. But remember you need lucky generation + enough money (you can get money by shurikens,bombs and grenades. Also loot chests for wood and iron so you could get iron stuff. Then you can beat the game.

[@dashitplay3801]

wow that was honestly entertaining, that's what I call a quality content :)

[@gcat360]

There needs to be a speedrun challenge for this. No weapon/tools to start and the challenge is to get some.

[@xx4931xx]

Holy crap this was so interesting. Instant subbed!

[@UpsideDownEye]

Why not construct a cobweb over a pot and walk over it to get it back, reduces luck required for this by a small bit.

[@B00fus]

could you not just bomb some cacti and make a cactus pick

[@dani0506]

yes you can no problem he prob did not think about it

how come you didnt go for a cactus picaxe?

Before watching this video ima guess that he makes the guide kills slime for money until the required amount for the merchant and buy tools from him

[@manupanu9390]

but how's he gonna make a house for the merchant?

[@MegMoog]

Ok, but what if you placed coins over the pots?

5:06 WAIT YOU CAN CLICK IT

You could have totally have used the trees insides for houses and spawn the demolitionist there! lol

Ehm actually also you could just farm blocks with any bombs, make workbench and farm some coins and buy first items from Merchant.
