Terraria’s most obscure weapons are… kinda good?

Terraria’s most obscure weapons are… kinda good?

Basically when you see a weapon you go that’s a thing that exists I I I guess it makes sense to exist but like why oh you know what I I know I know what to do poison throwing knives poison throwing knives the problem is if they come from something

Common like if they’re a Duke fish Ron drop that’s just a bit underwhelming then that’s really not a very forgettable weapon whereas something like the Sleepy octopod Nobody Does the tier two old ones Army what is the ochre drop okay off of memory now tell me what

The ogre drops yeah the to of wisdom and the other things he also drops the Phantom Phoenix which is a bow and the Sleepy octopod and hell he might drop a fourth thing honestly I don’t know Gastly glaive yeah what the [ __ ] the Gastly glaive what is that it’s kind of

The the Fatal flaw there okay that clever fish it is okay so this is pretty good so the purpose here isn’t necessarily to use weapons that are inherent ly bad it’s use weapons that are more so forgettable or outclass and honestly um the purple clubber fish is doing a lot better than

I would have expected like it just what uh what uh what a pathetic corruption what a pathetic corruption what is this why why even exist that’s a poison throwing knife cuz like you have like the wood handle that you hold it from and then you have the blade and then at the top

Of it it’s poison it’s green think you might unironically purple Club fish has a weapon it’s surprisingly good like keep in mind we’re in master mode um but we got this thing like day two day three um granted the first line we cast in the corruption bought it but like you could

Get this thing really fast the poison throwing knives too uh they take corrupt powder and not Stingers which I had originally thought and like they if it was easier to get throwing knives I think they’d be a bit better but with poison being buffed in 1.4.4 um

To deal 6 DPS instead of two DPS they’re actually pretty solid why is the thunder zapper worse than the poison Bo knives I think what we’re learning here is that the poison throwing knives and the purple clubber fish are actually like good weapons 20 damage very fast speed spreads the

Corruption we got 870 of them so I could but why do the CH bro does this [ __ ] not even have AOE what wh why does this exist it doesn’t even do AOE it has no splash what why doesn’t it do AOE damage what a what an awful

Weapon the only reason that Unholy water exists genuinely the only reason is because corrupt powder used to not spread the corruption but then they changed it so that um it would just actively corrupt things so the only reason that Unholy water existed which was to spread the corruption before getting the

Contaminator is completely useless now it does no damage it’s incredibly annoying to make and making larger numbers of it is almost is incredibly impractical and on top of all of that it has no AOE over here using a 16 damage per hit no AOE non-piercing weapon with very

Awful projectile speed against queen bee God Rel logic please rework Throne Waters okay die get these in the trash these things suck they are awful there is no reason to ever use or make Unholy water honestly I don’t like the blade of grass it just shoots out weak ass leaves and poisons

Things give me explosions okay see how this goes oh yeah you what are you you don’t live there you don’t live okay he listened to me he he understood that he didn’t live there yeah the blow gun is just kind of boring like this isn’t bad it is dealing pretty solid damage

It’s dealing it you know at not an awful speed poison DS just don’t have a very interesting effect and so this is basically just kind of pointing and clicking yeah I don’t know what you guys were talking about the ptic cor kind of kicks ass like this is

Good this is probably the best weapon that deerclops drops sure it’s not super consistent in the aiming is a little bit odd but this is not bad at all who says this thing sucks where are they this is the problem we don’t have the cutting through these hungry is

Tough cuz our damage is completely stagnates here in those thin areas keep walking into the uh flowers of Fire please 516 470 424 258 64 14 got him my bow is better than yours my bow is better than yours yeah get an Obsidian Shield next time

Dumbass damn it why is his bow better than my bow he takes two damage a hit okay there’s a legendary hand Bap look at all these dark moies here so the hambat is roughly equivalent to a titanium sword we go from 87 damage up to 92 which is really basically nothing

Um because remember this this also gives you a damage buff inherently so this gives like maybe like two or three points of damage for the food buff it’s really very minor um it also gives you a buff which increases your HP regeneration after killing an enemy there’s really a lot of very Niche

Things put into a weapon that is incredibly obscure that basically nobody would ever get and even if you got it you would basically never use um I just think that it gets an unnecessary amount of hatred um this is the main reason I made a video on

It honestly flower fires all way N I don’t think the orange zap there is very forgettable it’s a super unique and Mimi Weapon It’s just Rare ooh that’s a bit awkward hit him on the way down okay I can hit him on the way down maybe I just do something like this that is interesting the the flower of frost and the flower of fire fundamentally work differently the flower of frost does not

Bounce on platforms and planter boxes but the flower of fire does that changes how I need to do things because uh I can’t have them bounce off these Platforms in order to come upate the boss because they’re not bouncing as high bloodthorn we could bloodthorn um Skeletron Prime he Goblin he Goblin he

Goblin he Goblin sonar potion qual water Leaf have water Leaf need Coral ocean need go ocean pylon have ocean I’m just going to aim for face um and I think we can kill him by the end of the night at the rate we’re dealing damage if we just purely go for head

Damage I was hoping the AOE would let us get the hands but that’s just not working out yeah I mean this is a cool weapon it just sucks all right finish him off with a hand bat get over you I think the main problem with the

Old ones arm me is just the stat inflation on higher difficulties you’re forced to either have super optimal builds or use the O cheese okay we got the Gastly glaive I don’t know what this thing does I mean this is okay I guess I’m not using melee

Armor so I’m not really getting good Buffs on it it feels like cheating using a bow no matter what it is a bow is inherently a good weapon because you can just use whatever arrows you want you can stay a distance away from things and it’s not

Like I have to use bad weapons but like comparing the jankiness of trying to angle shots with the flower of Fire or the blood Thorns annoying things or having to be super close up with the Gastly glaive and then just going to I can shoot things with a

Bow is such a uh a stok contrast okay so it’s swing animation is it like swings around you twice and then has a very small AOE shock wave in front of it it looks like Destroyer I just make false s set what does this thing do set bonus on this ballista pierces

More targets and panics when you take damage okay let’s get a Ballista oh it also doesn’t hit downward at all in that explosion okay yeah they are all just sitting slightly off screen Gastly glaive is actually kind of doing doing a lot here there’s a titanum wow it’s almost like the Sleepy

Octopod is a bad weapon and using literally any of my other weapons would be better so what is this thing supposed to be what what is what is an octopod what what what am I swinging around right now is this a creature like it’s a creature right like

It’s a living creature that I’m swinging around and it’s like juices are spurting out when it hits the ground I stuck a sea creature on a stick and hit it against the floor repeatedly of course it’s going to be sleepy that’s not sleepy that’s brain damage like get [ __ ] Eep on kid

EP octopod infinite piercing high damage okay against destroyer’s coil it has Synergy with the ballista Panic true I do actually want to take damage in that case I got to get in there get him with the ep the damage isn’t bad the problem is it’s very awkward to deal that damage we’re

Hitting him for you know hundreds of damage in multiple segments at a time that’s not bad I mean the DPO could do that but you know this one’s okay too so yeah I’d give it a solid like four out of 10 it’s probably better than you were expecting

It was better than I was expecting it’s usable technically I could not imagine using the Sleepy octopod against any boss other than the destroyer and having it being remotely effective I feel like these two are going to play out to be about the same the P’s got more range so it’s probably better

Um and then the Claymore uh doesn’t go through blocks so it kind of sucks the qualifi PO is pretty good by virtue of the fact that it has a projectile that goes through blocks and goes a solid distance away and it’s also craftable with very easy to obtain

Materials I could definitely see this being something that could be helpful to make uh when playing the game just because you can attack things through blocks it’s like a death CLE but not a rare drop from a rare event okay I can effectively deal with nail heads with my chopy

Poin that’s pretty cool so pretty good crowd control uh bad single Target could be good for the moons uh we do plan on doing the moons and this seemed like it would take care of the crowds and the moons pretty well the toxic flask has an extremely

Weird visual effect with these spikes by the way I don’t know if you’ve noticed um look at the spikes with the toxic flask effect on top of them they turn like completely Square what is that what the hell oh he was repeatedly trying to get petrified

But because he was in front of a piece of furniture he couldn’t get petrified so he had this weird trailing effect behind him that’s weird sure oh Golem also doesn’t fall from above if there’s a block right there that’s interesting normally Golem Falls from above um but I guess because the game

Calculates the ceiling is being directly on top of him uh he doesn’t fall he just immediately spawns there I mean this is a what 100 something damage weapon that’s hitting multiple times a second like this is not bad damage but it’s not a race rine it’s not a bubble gun huh

Huh uh I don’t think there’s really any way to make ice queen not miserable if you’re using bad weapons where okay there’s a Christmas tree sword so uh we’re we’re done with frost Moon you want to get an elf melter too I’m not doing Frost Moon again Frost moon is like ripping teeth

Out uh there’s actually an elf melter down there anyway so we have it got the Jackal Lantern launcher is just the [ __ ] Ranger equivalent of um the flower of fire now we can check how much damage this does seems to be hovering around a thousand which is quite a lot less

Than the draer I mean it has the advantage of being a bit easier to aim and then candy cor rifle is considerably worse is just trying to aim it as a nightmare and is off of a single Target so is the elf melter this is not good

Compare this to a chain gun or a tsunami evanti things that have good single Target damage it’s not good thankfully the one thing we have is decent crowd control man that one flow Invader death I didn’t see him he can’t get out he’s stuck how’d you even get in

There yeah I uh I can’t kill these things on a dummy you deal 35,000 with the elf melter okay well I’m not dealing 35,000 with the elf melter I don’t know what your build is but that’s not applicable here that DPS is not happening yeah you had mentioned before

Judging weapons based on their performance in master mode I feel like if the weapon is performing well here in master mode that probably means it’s worth using whereas if it’s performing sub power not well then yeah there’s a reason that nobody uses it and it’s a good reason um

Cuz pretty much everything will perform adequately on classic mode so I feel like being on Master mode lets me draw that distinction where I can say you know this weapon is underutilized um but is pretty good you know it’s not memorable but it gets the job done

Versus things that are just really bad granted Unholy water would have sucked on any difficulty I think I can safely say that one enemies are spawning inside of a block here but they also can’t mature the Queens unless there’s sufficient space so oh we’re down uh okay let me go

Home there a slime rain I didn’t even know slime RS could happen during the pillar loose huh [ __ ] uh when uh God those things going to go forever okay can we kill you though please uh oh they in sync that’s pretty cool they are yo I accidentally synchronized them that’s

Cool those things are like perfectly in sync too it’s difficult doing that when you try to it just feels very fine that is that is as far as I would put it it’s not bad it’s doing things adequately it was fine for the pillow it’s not good

Though the takeaway is that the purple clubber fish the Puma corn the chlorite partisan kind of the Christmas tree sword but not really it was I wouldn’t call it good but it was acceptable problem is you got to compete with the teror blade and uh was there another one

Honestly kind of the flower of fire and flower of Frost are pretty good weapons uh they’re things that I would consider using everything else that I used pretty bad

And the award for most annoying challenge I’ve ever done goes to this one, because it was a nonstop stream of people in chat naming weapons I can’t get yet and that I’ve already talked about for ~20 hours.
