The latest Terraria update

[SaiKar]

You can craft a direct Moon Lord pop item with 20 of the lunar tower things now, so that means that you only have to repeat the lunar cycle every other time since you get 20+ of each fragment from the towers.

Using the UFO, in addition to giving me a sense of freedom, meant I didn't need all of my normal movement enhancing things in order to do the fight, so I was able to swap over to damage in many cases and still dodge semi effectively.

Armor: full bettle defense set
Weapons: Daybreak (its really, really punishing when you can land those javelins), Possessed Hatchet (for trick shots around barriers and stuff), Stardust Dragon at 3 segments (because Stardust Dragon)
Accessories: Obsidian Shield (no knockback), Fire Gauntlet (damage), Eye of the Golem (damage), Star Veil (longer invincibility), Celestial Shell (various small buffs)
Potions: Ichor flask, ironskin, Endurance, Lifeforce, Summoning, Well Fed, Sharpened from sharpening wheel, Bewitched from bewitching staion, Cozy fire from campfire, Heart Lamp from... heart lamp

Most of the accessories were reforged with warding... defense I think was an even 100.

Fought in an arena with 6 heart statues on a fast timer and a small roof of stone blocks that I could duck under if I wanted to.

Wasn't that hard actually with this setup. I think I just needed to tech up.

[Prpl_Mage]

I killed him on normal, just because I wanted to see if the gods of Random was on my side. 
The roof made a lot of difference, even the true of eye of chtulu couldn't hurt me as much. I had 3 heart statues, the other items you mentioned as well as a star in a bottle and honey poured over the area I was standing. The problem was that I didn't know that his stomach would be the last part to hit. So it got kinda cheesy thee with me standing in my honey pit and relying on my summons to deal damage. I flew a bit into the sky to damage it and then dropped back down under my roof to seek shelter. Not smooth.

I got the portal gun and some ranged weapon called "Celebration

I wasn't smart enough to think about the celestial shell btw, that's a great idea. All those stat bonuses must be better than my sorceror emblem thingy that pulls mana stars. So the defense reduce debuff works on the moon lord? might be worth punching him a little just for that. How long does it last? I could probably equip the scourge of corruption once in a while.

And yes, I noticed the summoning item just after I defeated everything. Gonna make the next times easier. Good thing the Lunar Cultist drops 0 interesting items.

[SaiKar]

I don't know if ichor works on him. I had it on from destroying the towers. It lasts like 10 minutes, so its totally a buff worth using when I buff up.

Grats on the win too.

Still have no idea how the hell to do Fishron. My "why not just fight him in the ocean" thing got answered by him REAL quick...

[Prpl_Mage]

I hope that it counts as long as you are in the ocean biome and not in the actual ocean. That would explain all my defeats.

Defeated the moon lord again and made the solar armour, it's like the beetle armor but slightly better. Got the same drops otherwise, celebration and portal gun.

[Prpl_Mage]

Still no luck with expert moon lord, he is just so much stronger and has so much more life than the normal one.

But I used my martian platings to build a space ship.


And then I finished

[SaiKar]

Pretty swag yo.

I'm down to three achivements: the blasted 200 fish quest, the Terrarian Moon Lord drop, and the 9 minions thing. I can probably get them all but the challenge will be staying interested in Terraria long enough to grind that ****.

[drenrin2120]

Damn, purp, you don't mess around.

[Prpl_Mage]

Thanks, the only NPC I couldn't get to move in was the Truffle, it's kinda picky like that.

You have trouble with the 9 minion? I got the pygmy staff, bought the tiki set, bought a hercules beetle and a pygmy necklace. Then I used Ectoplasm, pumpkins and hallowed bars to create a pumpkin moon and got a necromatic scroll. I mixed the scroll with the beetle and happened to find yet another scroll. So Full tiki armor, Pygmy necklace, Scarab scroll, necro scroll and then the bewitching table.

But who am I to say? I still haven't completed 50 fishing quests, never succeeded in getting past the 14th wave of the frost and pumpkin moons. I haven't tried the three mecha bosses at once and I still haven't been able to defeat Fishron, starting to give up on beating him and moon lord on expert.

[SaiKar]

All that runaround is why I don't have the 9 minion. I'll do it, it'll just be a grind for no gain other than the achivement.

Mecha mayham was stupid easy with Moon Lord-capable gear. Fishron and the Pumpkin/Frost Moon invasions less stupid easy, but still manageable. At least on normal. Not sure how nasty buffed they got on expert. Fishron didn't understand at ALL other than "don't fly into the tornadoes" but he went down pretty quick to the Stardust and my 278 damage Daybreak. No idea how the hell people beat him without UFO car keys and super weapons and armor.

[zuhane]

Prpl, that is epic. So epic.

I've started again and I'm around silver level at the moment. Lots to do!

[Prpl_Mage]

Next space ship is going to be bigger, and better. And more spacious. It got kinda crowded in there. I also need to find a way to give the truffle some place to live. Stupid mushroom man and picky taste. The Angler and pirate captain is fine with living in a stupid desert but no, truffle have to live in a mushroom biome.

I finished the frost and pumpkin moon events eventually, got about 8000 points in the pumpkin moon event in the end, 23 pumpking trophies and 49 mourning wood trophies. I had to take to sell rounds to get rid of all the loot. In the frost moon I managed to get to 16 -17 or something. That one is a bit harder. Ice queen is not so keen on being kited like the king is. This was normal though, not expert.
So the only achievements I have left are the fishing ones.


Oh, they patched the game just now. Stardust dragon is not as great, moon lord got harder.

[SaiKar]

Yeah. I tried the Moon Lord again and not much has changed as they mainly fixed an exploit that let you get damaged by a slime and stay invincible and avoid Moon Lord attacks.

I'm down to 200 fishing and the Terrarian. I've killed Moonster like 10 times now and still only seen 3 of his drops. Frickin yoyos. SOMEONE had a weird fetish this update...

[drenrin2120]

Sooooo... Does anyone want to play multiplayer terraria?

[Prpl_Mage]

Um... Who locked the thread?

Also, I got both summon magic from Moon lord, his mask twice and his trophy once, then celebration 3 times and the star wrath and terrarian. So I guess I'm missing the magic and the Meowmeow. Also, why does he always drop a portal gun? I don't mind the extra 10 gold but still.

No I realized that what made him harder was because my heart and star statues weren't spawning any hearts/ mana stars. I left too many from the pillars laying around so the statues didn't want to produce any. That explained my increased drop of health and my inability to spam Nebula arcanum like mad. That thing is a godsent against the core. Just gotta have a wall to bounce it on.

Speaking of the yoyos, apparently Red, the main creator person is a big yoyo fan. That's why you even get one with his vanity set.

I would play with you Dren, but in the past those time zones has really messed up my ability to keep up with you guys.

[SaiKar]

I got the sick throw, yo. 87 out of 88 achivements, 101 fishing quests out of 200. SIGH. That is such a meaninglessly pointless grind that cannot really be accelerated in any way. But I want a perfect game, dammit.

Meowmere is cool. :3 :3 :3
