    Its the crimson worlds equivalent to the demon altar. Hell forges are found in hell.

    You can only mine them when you get to hard mode, when you do it spawns the hard mode metals around your world. First thing you want to do when you get to hard mode is mine as many of them as you can, leaving just one so you can make **** at it.

    Really liking this new patch. Started a new character/world.. finally found my first hard mode dungeon key, got the Scourge of the corruption... sweet weapon.

    Rocking it turtle armor with a legendary death sickle and paladin hammer.... pretty insane set up. Need one more Broken Hero Sword for Terrablade

    Ah...my bad. Been so long since I played. It does look similar to a hellforge though.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 23,344 Mod ✭✭✭✭Kiith


    Ah what the hell? I just turned it on this evening and i've lost all my characters items. All my chests and crappy house is fine, but i'm back at my spawn with no gear or money. There goes my magic mirror, double jump, wall jumping, and platinum gear (might not be much, but it feels like it :()

    God damn it :mad:


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 23,344 Mod ✭✭✭✭Kiith


    Nevermind, i've replaced most of it. Guess none of what i had was particularly rare.

    Thank god for double jump btw...


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 23,344 Mod ✭✭✭✭Kiith


    Managed to make some good progress today, getting a full set crimson armour and weapons, and killing my first few bosses. Also spent 2 hours building a huge 5 story house for some NPC's, which i put way too much effort into :P

    It's absolutely worth the $10 i spent on it. Great game.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 14,766 Mod ✭✭✭✭Dcully


    It really is a genius little game.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,924 ✭✭✭✭ShadowHearth


    Aye, played some more too. Killed World Eater? ( big worm ) and Finally got my demonite armour. At the same time I hit bottom hell with my mining shaft. Will be working on full Hellstone armour.

    I am really glad they are making Terraria 2 and still had time to give us 1.2. Fair play! Everyone should own this bad boy!


    P.s. Spider Caverns are scary when you are low level! :eek:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,659 ✭✭✭CrazyRabbit


    Fell in lava and died on Medium difficulty when fighting the Wall of Flesh. Most items and all gold destroyed. Those that remained where under 10 blocks of lava. Doh!!! Wouldn't be too bad, but can't make obsidian potions yet, so no way to get gear back!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,472 ✭✭✭Dave_The_Sheep


    I'm finding hardmode ... well ... hard. I have full Adamantite armour, some beam sword, assault rifle and a defense of about 60.

    Got butchered by the Twins twice last night, and another twice by the Destroyer (and he's supposed to be the easiest?). Normal enemies are fine, but these bosses are tough. Even with potions (basic ones I admit).

    I've heard that Frost Armour (dropped during Blizzards?) and a mushroom spear are good for the Destroyer. Anyone have any idea how to get the Truffle NPC in? I have a mushroom house on a mushroom biome set up on the surface. No joy.

    This game is €2.49 on Steam at the moment.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,578 ✭✭✭WarZoneBrother


    Hey guys, I can give this game for free to people with donations welcome :p All I need is for you to be able to trade the 3 spare copies back to me as all I have at the minute is 4 packs ... I need them activated and the spares gifted to me in the trade window...

    Reply back here with your steam name and I will add you if you have been a member on here long enough or under some kind of circumstances that I can trust you to return the 3 spares :P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,598 ✭✭✭DeSelby83


    is there any easy way of setting up multiplayer for this? iv read things about port forwarding and stuff but i have no idea what that is, how to do it or what it means.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,732 ✭✭✭Magill


    Just find your IP, and create a game. Give the IP to your mate.

    All those guides are for dedicated servers.

    For Truffle, you need to use mushroom door, walls, table & chair. And you need to kill at least one hardmode boss if I recall.

    Best advice I can give for bosses....build an arena in the air is possible. Use 2 sets of wood platforms, one above the other and lay down a few campfires to help with hp regen. Carry at least 3 of every potion useful for your character type and stay fully buffed. Weapons/magic that pierces is usually best for most bosses...or explosive ammo.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,472 ✭✭✭Dave_The_Sheep


    Yeah, I got him in in the end. That spear is a cracker.

    Took out the Destroyer with it - on the third attempt - then crafted the Megashark, and the Twins randomly spawned as I was doing so. Took them out with my new Megashark. Two boss kills within a few minutes. After that, it was just a case of getting me some Hallowed armour and farming them for a few nights, before heading for Plantera.

    He was another tough one - managed it with the help of a friend (she was useless but distracted Plantera long enough for me to take him out).

    The Golem is a piece of piss - it was harder getting there than actually fighting him.

    Next up - farming for some Turtle armour. I'm running with full Chlorophyte now, and it's great, but I do want the next step up. Be it Spectre or Turtle. Only trouble is, the fecking giant tortoises never drop the stuff.

    Is it me, or they really really made HP Hearts a lot more rare?! I got only 240HP and I need to go and kill wall of flesh...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,419 ✭✭✭allanb49


    anyone set up a dedicated server

    I echo this statement. I never had any friends who played this and joining random servers was always a mess. Playing on your own is dreadfully boring. Anybody know some friendly servers?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,924 ✭✭✭✭ShadowHearth


    I was rolling in the dungoen and found some Chest with weird keys. Where do you get those keys? they all different.
    I found some sort of brick are in jungle too. I could not mine in to it with hellfire pick... Is there a way to find an entrance in to it?

    And lastly. I think I sow on youtube someone doing a glowing mushroom farm on surface. Any ideas how to make it?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,997 ✭✭✭Grimebox


    I created a game at 86.43.170.42

    I have no idea what I'm doing

    10eu is more then worth it. Specially how much support it still gets from devs.

    Think I found 400 of them in my last game. Ok, that an exaggeration, but they are certainly not rare.

    Those dark blue keys...you only even need one. Opens chests down in hell (lava layer). The other yellow keys open chests in the dungeon itself.

    Oh, there are colourful chests there which needs keys from other areas before you can open them.

    So yeah, I know about golden ones and shadow key. but I have no clue about those fancy colourful keys. Where do you find those?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,732 ✭✭✭Magill


    Mobs in each of the different biomes (Jungle/Corruption/Snow/Crimson/Hallowed) have a chance of dropping one of those rare keys (They're pretty damn rare ! 1/4000 chance of dropping).

    The chests have some of the best weapons in the game.

    I'm looking for a new portable game to play and I just tried the demo for Terraria on the PS VITA. I think I will go ahead and purchase the full game.

    Anyone play the VITA game? Is it a good version of this game?

    I have not played the vita version, but I have read some reviews in the past which were all glowing. I think it gamespot who reckoned the Vita was the perfect platform for the game. I have it on the PC, but I do think it would be better to have it on a handheld.

    I just built my first house on the way into work this morning. What sure what I'm to do next. It is dark out now and I did a little exploring. Ran back to the house quick enough though.

    Pick a spot outside your house. Dig straight down, bring some torches. Keep digging until you see a cavern underground. Dig towards that. Explore it. Dig some more. Rinse, repeat. Curiosity will guide you once you start digging.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,448 ✭✭✭Josey Wales


    I built a Hellevator over the weekend. Took ages but it is quite impressive. I last about 30 seconds in Hell but I've still got a huge area left unexplored. Including the surface.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,448 ✭✭✭Josey Wales


    Anyone playing this on Playstation platforms?

    I've been wondering if changes that were introduced in the big 1.2 patch will appear in my world that was created pre-patch.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 779 ✭✭✭jaxdasher


    Nah you most likely have to create a new world. There are new structures and biomes that would be created when you generate a new world that your old world would not have.

    Thread resurrection.

    Just picked this up on GOG because of the 1.3 announcement caught my eye. I heard nothing but good things about this game and to see them still supporting it with free content updates like this as well as the 25% off and the already small price-point made me cave and whip out the credit card out at 5 in the morning. Seems really fun so far. I wanna start playing with friends soon. I suck at the combat but haven't died yet... got real close at like >10 health when I didn't have a roof in my hut and zombies were just hopping in. Then 3 eyeballs entered the fray and I had to use the axe for range while the ryan tutorial guy was trying to help out. Just survived... and figured out how doors work so that helps.

    Yeah, it is a great game. I go back to it every now and then and get sucked in. When I was playing a few weeks ago I concentrated on making a really elobarate home base rather than just a hut. I had so much material gathered over the past year that it turned out pretty well.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,472 ✭✭✭Dave_The_Sheep


    Lots of new stuff in the new 1.3 patch. Been playing sporadically yesterday, but plan of making at day of it today. Expert mode is much tougher.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,924 ✭✭✭✭ShadowHearth


    Got a server up with buddy and we playing 2 days in a row till 4:00 in the morning.... God I love this game and developer for constantly updating it.
    From all these type of games Terraria was pretty much the first and still best.
    I just wish they would have easier multiplayer options and not just server type stuff on PC. :(

    I didn't even know they were still releasing updates. Fair play to them. Will definitely give it a go this weekend.

    Still think i prefer Starbound though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,553 ✭✭✭murphyebass


    Got this free for the vita ages ago. After reding this thread and watching a lets play Im tempted to give it a go.

    Looks like you could get addicted to it fairly handy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,932 ✭✭✭YouSavedMyLife


    Back playing it myself also. With every major update i start a fresh character and world to experience all the changes. Best value for money game i ever bought. 330 Hours on record and gonna sink alot more into this update all for just a tenner

    It's a double edged sword it seems. Easy multiplayer is nice but at the same time I'm glad they didn't go with steamworks because then I couldn't have bought a DRM-free version of the game.

    Well, I personally don't care about drm free games. If there is a choice I would always go for steam version. Tjen again I realise that for some people it is important aspect. We can do our own server and play away no issues, so can't complain. And by the looks of it servers work very well om just home pcs and even if you do have bad internet. My buddy is hosting it from north on less them 8mbit connection amd no lad even with 3 of us.
    We actually just turned on hard mode by a **** up hehe. Not prepared at all. We though we will need to destroy an actor to get hard mode not just kill a boss... We were wrong lol

    With terraria it just looked like the kind of game that would be nice to be able to boot up and play from anywhere, even on a USB stick, without having to worry about steam's DRM. I don't get steam cards now but it's not a big deal since it was technically 60c cheaper on the GOG sale (might've been the fair price package thing) so I could easily get the cards with the money I saved if I really wanted to... which I actually don't.

    I added it to the steam client so I can boot it up there if I want the overlay which I'll do if I'm playing online with people on the steam version.

    I also just found out it was steam family shared with me from the beginning so I could've saved some money there but oh well at least I have my own DRM free backup copy no matter what now and I do still feel good for supporting the game when the devs have that attitude with content updates for no charge. Hope to see that more like with Divinity Original Sin huge update being given to current owners for free.

    Anyway I'm starting to get stuck in the game. I dunno where to get the materials for a hookshot and I think it'd be really handy to have since digging underground leaves me making dirt platforms a lot of the time to get around.

    I'm looking to play this with the missus...but i gave away my humble bundle version to someone on here awhile ago :pac:

    If you own the steam version, can you download a drm free version too or am i stuck with just 1 copy?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,932 ✭✭✭YouSavedMyLife


    Just beat the Eye on expert mode. Was totally unprepared for it but i did have an Undertaker revolver. Was easy mode till he went berserk at 20% HP. Killed him with a single heart left, heart was racing and im only playing softcore :p

    That last period where it goes ****ing crazy - he's a real bastard to hit. You really need an arena more than ever now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,553 ✭✭✭murphyebass


    I definately played this before on ps plus on vita. It was free this time last year but it's not in my download list for some reason and I have to buy it if I want it :-(

    Go on. You know you want it.

    Great game. Almost as much of a time sink as Destiny.
