I’m Spending a Year on One World | February Edition | Terraria Calamity

I’m Spending a Year on One World | February Edition | Terraria Calamity

I believe that terrarians often speedrun the game and never take their time on their worlds I want to change that so over the course of a year I will be playing on this one world with each stage of progression being blocked until the start of a new month I’m doing this

So I can seriously take my time in each stage of Terraria Calamity mods progression and see what it has to offer so for the month of February I am only allowed to defeat the eer of Worlds Rand cthulu High mind and perforators otherwise I can make no other form of

Progression this is what happened the beginning of the second month and and I’m able to get into it with all that I learned from the first month sure I’ve done this challenge before but now that I’m in Calamity things have changed quite a bit and I

Have to change my mindset a bit as I figure out how to go about learning more about what this mod has to offer the first week was less affected by what I learned as the new bosses have just been unlocked but it did still have an impact

The first and most obvious task was to break a shadow orb this will allow the Goblin Army to spawn and once they’re defeated I’ll be able to find the goblin Sinker and finally merge some of my accessories I could have broken the orbs and gotten straight to fighting bosses

But after last month I figured it would be smart to not rush to each of the bosses but spend some time in between each of them I think this fits the challenge much better after all it’s not meant to be a boss rush and then figure

Out what to do from there so let’s see what there is to keep myself occupied for now fishing quests are definitely an important task to keep performing as failing to do fishing quests early in the game can really bite you in the rear later in the game turns out Calamity

Also increases the number of things you get from fishing Quest so this will be considerably easier than it is in vanilla before fighting any of the bosses I thought it would be nice to make an arena perhaps I’ll make individual arenas for each boss it’s something that could fill the time while

Also serving as a decorative build only problem is that I still need to get actuators before these builds can really Take Shape for now I figured I’d blow up a bunch of ebonstone and I was hoping there’d be more than ebonstone brick that could be crafted but that’s just

About it so I guess that I’ll have to do it might have made sense to create the arena from natural evanstone as I like builds that fit with the landscape but this looks good too I made an initial little tower for the arena I never fight

The eer of Worlds above the ground so this will be a whole new experience for me but hey that’s one of the reasons for this challenge in the first place doing things you don’t usually do finding the worm in the caves has always felt much easier to me plus it requires less prep

Time now EV stone brick doesn’t craft any platform so I chopped EV wood trees for the arena before building the arena though last month I had an issue with moss there was a glowing pink moss from a naturally spawning cave but I wanted it to be green paint didn’t work and

Several people suggested throwing the stuff in an extractinator shimmering the Moss creates helium Moss no matter what kind you throw in but if you toss it into an extractinator it could spit out a different Moss or at least so I’m told I tried one helium moss and one of the

Regular pink glowing Moss both of them sped out one of the regular non-g glowing mosses but neither was green so I figured it wasn’t worth it I returned to the building up of the arena for now it’ll be quite simple but I hope to add more detail when I have actual actuators

Actual that’s weird there’s the there’s these ebonstone brick pillars with a layer of platforms there’s more to add but before that the Goblin Army was on its way there’s not much to say about the Goblin Army it’s kind of just the Goblin Army I whacked them with a stick

And called it a day it did feel like it ended really quickly though not sure if Calamity decreased the amount of enemies you need to kill to defeat the army or if the modded weapons kill the enemies quicker whatever the case it didn’t take very long defeating the Army means

Finding the goblin tinkerer is always is the next step if you ever struggle with finding him here’s my best advice drink a hunter potion ride the first mine cart track you see in the cavern layer and you’ll likely find him in no time just as I did buying the tinker’s workshop

From him allowed me to combine a bunch of accessories which is very very very very helpful so now it’s time to return to making the arena the solid block pillars you would think might be an obstruction for fighting but a staff dropped by the Goblin Army is most

Effective when it hits a solid block more than when it hits the enemy directly having these pillars actually should make this weapon more effective I finished the base of the arena and did a quick fishing quest which happened to be in the corruption I’ll have to make a

Bigger fishing hole feels like this world hardly has any good fishing spots really got to get that bottomless water bucket as soon as possible I added two more layers to the arena which you got to have right an arena can’t just be one single platform I also added some

Campfires and heart lanterns of course this means it’s time to blow up the final Shadow orb and get the first boss of the Run let’s go go go go go go oh no come on up up up up ouch that took all of my health just to

Get up here oh no he’s shooting oh no no no no no now he’s shooting ah oh I just thought he wasn’t going to shoot at all oh are those cursed Flames are those just bright why are they bright I don’t like that they’re bright nope NOP uh oh oh curs lives

Uhoh uh-oh Houston we have a problem o Hearts thank you okay so the heads let shoot him so if we keep the heads to a minimum we’ll be fine the Eater of Worlds is kind of funny up here on the surface suddenly the Big Worm can fly and he can make

Sharp fast turns that’s probably not a thing in vanilla but only in Calamity seeing the worm turn on a dime is kind of terrifying I beat the worm first try and then realized I forgot I had planned to use my mage build and the magic staff

From the goblin army so I quickly went back underground to resummon it as it turns out however my major build does not have a horseshoe oh Calamity does allow you to craft horseshoes however so once I crafted one I merch it with a cloud in a balloon and headed back to

The corruption blowing up a few more orbs the worm spawned once more and I got to battling turns out the worm body blocked the pillars quite frequently rendering the weapon rather ineffective and the icicle staff doesn’t Pierce so it’s not great either my damage output was quite pitiful and after I died I

Have to assume there’s better weapons available for me there was only one weapon I could craft at the moment but it does have a certain amount of piercing and does adequate damage I didn’t want to summon the worm though instead I thought it would be a good

Idea to figure out how I’m going to summon the brain of cthulu Calamity Monon spawns with a floating island of the opposite evil of the world I thought this might be enough but after visiting I wasn’t so sure there weren’t any Crimson enemies spawning and although it’s possible that they could the spawn

Rate was likely so low that farming would have been a real pain I tried shimmering rotten chunks into vertebrae with no success and then wondered if the dryad might sell some but she does not she does however sell this summon and he’s the best little doggo look at him

He’s a cute little doggo oh he’s a cute one oh he barks my next idea was to extend the Crimson sky island but the blocks were not spreading which I suppose should be expected as it’s pre hard mode pretty sure that wouldn’t be spread although it would also seem that

The blocks that make up this island although they are Crimson they are not the kind of crimson blocks that spread they’re more decorative like ebonstone brick I could be wrong but I feel pretty sure about this so the only way I could think of to ensure that the Crimson

Spreads is by purchasing Crimson seeds from the dryad I just got to make an Ecto Miss biome but after placing lots of tu Stones there’s no Ecto Mist confused I kept placing tombstones I get increasing the tombstone count for an Ecto Mist in multiplayer but doing so in

Single player feels weird if you fail to clean up your tombstones that’s on you instead I’m stuck trying to find a space to put all these tombstones oh oh oh oh there we go oh I I I almost gave up I I was almost given up anyways I was able to place down

Enough for Crimson seeds to be sold by to get the ecomis and create an artificial Crimson above the corrupt biome that has a sky Lake above it and that has the Crimson floating island above it uh this area of the world going to have layers it didn’t take long for

Enemies to start spawning and so I can now farm for vertebrae and mushrooms needed for the Crimson bosses oh and I almost forgot I did try shimmering more Moss into helium moss and then tossing it into the extractinator I only tried one before to see if it turn green and

It didn’t so I gave up well I tried putting in a bunch more helium moss and did eventually get green but this this isn’t green how is this green guess I need the glowing green moss if I really want that nice green I’m looking for so I went off to farm more vertebrae

And for some reason I ended up jumping down the corrupt Caverns where I just so happened to see a meteor that had fallen earlier I feel like it’s been a while since I’ve seen a meteor inside a crup cavern it also felt kind of funny mining this thing block by block since I

Recently was playing a modded run with or excavator and it’s so satisfying seeing a meteor evapor operate with that but nope not in this run I’m just going to be here picking away at this thing I got enough of the stuffs for a bloody spine and I had farmed a little extra as

I thought I’d need a few summons but then I realized boss summons in Calamity are not consumable I cleared a few trees I’d planted up there so I could use the wood for an arena but it occurs to me that this wood is probably the same as

What I’d get in the corruption am I wrong about that honestly have no idea I thought about making the arena but was anxious to just fight the brain and tried using my Mage class there is a third phase for the brain and it’s kind of just confusing the brain makes these

Much bigger Moves In the End dashing into the thing with the shield of cthulu was all it took to avoid taking damage but I didn’t quite have the timing right and ended up dying right before killing it although what made the brain’s Final Phase more difficult was the fact that I

Can’t hardly hit the thing it moved too fast for my weapons I tried the battle again with the Rogue class and this went a whole lot smoother now perhaps this is a little delayed but I now got to work on making an arena up here there’s still

Are the perforators I suppose so it’ll at least have some use I also made it identical to the one in the corruption or at least very similar partially because I had no other ideas for a different looking Arena but also because I thought mirroring the Arenas just made

Sense between evil biomes I just had to paint the epone red to make it look right when the arena was finished rather than fighting the perforators I figured I’d instead get to work on a village I’ve had in mind since day one this is one of the main things that was affected

By this whole new mindset in approaching this run I could have easily spawned in the perforator but I’m going to leave them for next week them and the hive mind will give me a little something to do next week and we’ll help split up every week into more interesting chunks

I think so onto the build I started with a simple Hut the whole idea for this build is to make it like a marsh or swamp town with wooden houses built into the trees it won’t quite be marshy I just want it to look pretty much like a

Long lost Paradise maybe that’s a better description of it getting the second house then helped me figure out how the structure of this build is going to work I added a hole below the Huts where an eventual Pond will be and put some of the more natural stone walls around it

If you saw my Series last year you will recognize where this build is going as it’s in many ways very similar to a build I had in that one that’s pretty intentional as that build was made really late in the run and yet it was

One of my favorite builds of all time I didn’t get any time to enjoy it so now I’m recreating it here where I will have lots of time I built the third and largest house and extended some of the stone wall to flush out the backdrop I

Then added the dirt and the stone top to give the thing a more cavernous appearance I also discovered placing dirt underneath the wooden stilts and then planting it helped it look a bit more natural now the water isn’t just going to be at the bottom but rather I

Want it to put continuously falling water on the top which obviously means there needs to be a little Basin up here there are several techniques for creating the appearance of falling water but I wanted actual water to keep falling and so I might actually use pumps a rather forgotten wiring tool if

You ask me I then removed the natural dirt wall and made my own that is a bit closer to the ground I even used living Leaf walls to create the sort of Mossy look growing on the outside of the other walls and I think it’s actually quite convincing and at last it’s probably

Going to be quite dark in the water but I want it to be bright and pristine so I added two Diamond gemspark walls to brighten the place up I just can’t wait until I can get my hands on Echo paints and a bottomless water bucket to really complete this build and something else

That needs completion is your subscription status see at the end of the year I will be firing One Mini nuke 2 from this rocket launcher for every subscriber I have so help me blow up a fresh small world into Smither by subscribing and joining me on this year-long

Journey week six here we come or week two of the month I suppose it feels nice still to have two more bosses to fight and it occurs to me I was running out of things to do last month when I had to go through the whole getting started process collecting gear and materials

And that takes a good chunk of time I’m really going to have to be more creative with what I do and boy did I find that something special this week we’ll get to it a little bit later in the week but there’s a few things to take care of

First such as fishing quests I need a bottomless water bucket as I’ve mentioned plenty of times to Finish the build from last week without the water feature it just doesn’t quite feel right but I’m still happy with it yes this is what it’s like having a build you’re proud

Of early game this this is very nice first things first we do have another boss to fight and I wanted to start this week with a little bit of action and so I headed to the artificial Crimson to break a perforator cyst and fight the perforator Calamity bosses although I

Have fought them before I’m significantly less familiar with and their patterns are a little more mysterious to me so I wasn’t sure how things were going to go in this battle thing is though the boss was actually really easy I didn’t have great piercing with which to kill the worms he summons

But I was a able to dodge around the worms well enough to get adrenaline a few times the boss was just pretty simple a few Sparky things shot from the brain looking thing Dodge around the charging worms and you’re fine plus you don’t actually have to kill the worms

You just have to kill the main body and you’re all good so that checks another boss off the list real cool none of the drops were particularly exciting although this one summon was gross so I have to mention it I refused to use the Crimson Heart Light pet because I think

It looks gross and the same applies here I don’t want this pulsating sack of Flesh following me everywhere Plus I’m pretty sure my eye summon is better anyways than this summon and no matter what summon weapons I found I always seem to find that the ey summon was the

Most powerful but that doesn’t feel right one biome I failed to explore last month is the abyss not sure there’s a whole lot down here but I might as well check it out and see what is here in the end there wasn’t much but there were some points of interest oh wow these

Chests are actually kind of hard to see but we got one we got one where where are the others I feel like I probably missed some I did find some more treasure but nothing particularly interesting I did learn that I can place torches down here since there’s torch

Variants that work in the abyss and with torch God’s favor they automatically turn into the appropriate torch I found it quite odd how the left side of the Abyss generated as there were a bunch of blocks spread about seemingly randomly I thought it would be a solid wall not

This weird mess weird I also figured it’d be fun to see just how deep I could go let’s just keep going deeper and see what happens oh oh they all explode no why wa maybe this one doesn’t oh oh it glows red a little bit if it will

Explode I figured figured it out we’re still going we made we got pretty far down there I think let’s see let’s look at the map oh yeah oh yeah we got real fire that’s pretty good I spent a little while also trying to figure out this mob called The Cannonball jellyfish oh

That’s what those do oh I didn’t actually learn my lesson because I immediately died to the next one oh for some inexplicable reason this jellyfish fascinated me and I wanted to figure out why it was killing me so I tried a theory I had I am I figured him

Out so apparently these things once you get them low enough they’ll become immune to damage and charge the player and if they hit you at this point of progression it’s death if they miss they’ll die and drop bombs because apparently the internal organs of these jellies are explosives the only other

Interesting thing that happened down here is that there were these chests I couldn’t open and no key icon appeared when I hovered over them I spent a while trying to figure out how to crack them open but chat was telling me I can’t get them until after Skeletron okay so now

We can get to that super fun project I mentioned a little bit earlier I want to kill a dungeon guardian I’ve done this maybe once before many years ago after they added the the bone key drop to these Auto killing spinning skulls I forgot to kill one in the vanilla run

Last year so this year I wanted to make a point of taking one of these down so I started mining straight down into the dungeon which will make it a lot easier to flee when the guardian spawn but none were spawning so I figured I’d run down

Into the dungeon and figure out how deep I needed to go wait what wait what is happening right now why there there he is and so I started mining deeper but as it would turn out I mined straight into regular caves and had to dig even deeper to get to even

More dungeon the thing is I found a gold key in this wooden chest earlier and well hold up hold up I have the key on me I’m going for it turns out I can’t mine the dungeon brick down here with a golden pickaxe so I stopped made the

Pickaxe one tier higher the deathbringer and that’s also not strong enough guess I need a Molten Pickaxe last year I didn’t mind hellstone till after Skeletron because I wanted to get more life out of the crimtane armor but I want to fight the dungeon guardian so I’m mining hellstone it also occurs to

Me since I’m not running a melee build I probably won’t really need any of the hellstone anyways but I mind extra just in case right now as I was finishing mining I spotted an ashen stalactite just lying around it’s an underworld Rogue weapon so it’s pretty good the

Demon I killed with it immediately after gesso happened to drop a demon Scythe as well so I’m pretty stacked oh voodoo voodoo give me give me give me give me don’t fall in the lava oh wait that’s another one no no no no oh that works now I got a molten

Pickaxe and immediately got sidetracked I Min more obsidian and as I went to craft water walking boots as that should theoretically be easier than finding them see Calamity adds a recipe for the water walking boots but I need leather the only enemy I know that drops leather

Is some dog in the tundra there was a blizzard which I thought would be good because I wasn’t sure if blizzards were required for the dogs to spawn but you see there’s a problem here it’s a blizzard at night and the clock is nearing midnight at midnight during a

Blizzard dear clop spawns naturally and I totally forgot about this until someone in chat reminded me and I was playing it really close ah all right we got to get out we got to get out go go go go go oh come on right a second we’re doing

Really bad at boss is spawning here ah yes quality content right here that was a l well huh I teleported to the ocean for the heck of it and he adds this real Handy feature where deerclops makes everything dark and that’s absolutely fantastic because deerclops doesn’t despawn after dying an easy solution to

This problem would be saving and exiting but I feel like I should live with the consequences of my actions in in this run I went back to face the deer but I’m not actually allowed to attack deer clop since this part of progression has not been unlocked so I’m just stuck staring

At this thing or else living in total darkness at least that’s what I stop because after I died everything got just a little bit brighter so we can just go about our business on the bright side but um steer clops does naturally despawn it just takes 24 real life

Minutes your de clops what are you doing down there buddy what what are you doing in the hole de clops you need help so I just had to burn 24 minutes doing miscellaneous things none of it was particularly important mostly because because I didn’t want to do important

Things while the screen was this dark because that wouldn’t be fun for this video there it is a he’s finally left oh wow the game is is so different now this is what Terraria looks like w I really had adjusted to playing in the dark it felt kind of weird when the

Colors returned time to return to my dungeon guardian Shenanigans first things first I need to get that one golden chest the world has gifted me with with the ability to sequence break and gosh darn it I’m going to take it I had to die several times just to get

Inside but once the wall was mined completely away I was fre to dash in and grab the loot all right all right here you go yes yes Aqua scepter baby let’s go oh that’s sick I’m going to have to use aqua spor and get Skeletron that’s

Going to be so much fun that makes me so happy I mined a little deeper and breach the dungeon enough for Guardians to spawn with a straight shot back to the surface problem is when I tried that the guardian immediately caught up to me but that makes no sense the dungeon guardian

Doesn’t move faster than the player in freef Fall did Calamity increase their movement speed they had to and if they did how could I possibly kill the thing I tried again and it failed I need a new strategy I grabbed a bunch of accessories that increase movement speed

Including crafting a matal luminesence I saying that five times fast problem is this increases horizontal movement speed not vertical so I need to do some thinking and I figured I’d mine the newly available aial light this or spawns in with the world but can’t be mined until the perforator or hi mind

Have been killed there’s wings that can be made with the stuff but as would turn out more importantly this armor has a set bonus that increases my fall speed that also gives me a whole bunch of extra movement speed and other things so now I might just be able to take down

The dungeon guardian turns out though I can actually move fast enough now for them to despawn but that wasn’t the worst Revelation what it’s shooting skull this changes everything vanilla Guardians only Kill by touching you but these shoot insta kill skulls with minor amounts of homing I tried a few more

Times but made no progress so time to formulate a new game plan before that I wanted to kill the hive mine the final boss available in February the boss battle however didn’t go how I thought it would his pattern is different than I thought it was and so I made several

Mistakes there but it also felt tankier and did more damage than the perforator had done which strikes me as odd I nearly beat the thing first try but ended up dead and so I Shrugged my shoulders and returned to the easier enemy the dungeon guardian but I was

Still going nowhere fast with the Guardians the tunnels I’m flying up has no room to dodge so once a skull is shot down the shoot I have no way of avoiding it which means the obvious solution is to expand the size of the tunnel and now

Back to high mind I fought it twice more and lost both times doing worse than the first battle there’s a number of problems I’m running into for one it’s shooting cursed flame orbs that I can hardly see but also it keeps spawning in enemies and as I try to dash away from

The main body it’ll spawn an enemy right in front of me so I’ll bounce off the enemy and back into the main body this whole time the battle isn’t feeling right and someone from chat was telling me the boss was actually enraged but I didn’t believe it there’s no way the H

Mind En rag is on the surface but there is one way to verify by turning the health bar into the Calamity version see with this health bar the boss’s name gets outlined in red when it’s enraged and sure enough it’s red so this whole time I’ve been fighting the boss in Rage

Well that’s great I killed it anyways maybe this means dungeon guardian battle will go better well perhaps not see turns out this armor makes me move too fast for the dungeon Guardians and they keep on on despawning as like I alluded to earlier the only way to prevent this

Was to reverse gravity again and this total stop of momentum caused me to die and the one time I did get out of the dungeon without dying oh come on no no we a I actually got out so to make it easier to dodge the skulls I

Increased the size of the Gap even more and for the first time I was able to get the dungeon guardian out into the open no no no no we got out we got out no as frustrating as this is it does mean it’s possible I also realized that I couldn’t

Switch back to my rogue build once out I wanted to use that build because my rogue weapon is insanely fast which works best against the guardians but I no longer get the advantage of falling extra fast which I need I tried again and again with many failures and a few

Successes but each time I got the guardian outside it would shoot skulls and the skulls were so hard to dodge that almost die immediately and the discombobulating nature of reversing gravity made it all the much harder to Dodge I could get it outside the dungeon but I wasn’t able to survive very long

After and i’ burned through all my gravitation potions and ingredients for gravitation potions and the week was coming to a close so I guess this will become a project next week with my remaining time I added a new larger garden and actually use the appropriate planter box for each plant rather than

Just buying a bunch of one I also haven’t been very happy with how my trophy room looked mostly just the background wall around them I messed with a few things until I settled on alternating voidstone walls and blue gemspark I think I like it enough to

Stick with this the only problem is that void Stone can only be mined with an adamant type pickaxe or something around that tier so the only way for me to actually get void stone is by killing a very specific enemy in the abyss who isn’t necessarily a common spawn so

Leave it to me to choose one of the single hardest materials to gather that’s just wonderful so as it would turn out last week I started a journey I was not ready for the dungeon guardian Must Fall and I was so determined to do that I regret my

Life decisions and you’ll find out why as we go along I had a serious problem last week escaping the dungeon guardian after getting it out the dungeon I was at least able to get it out of the dungeon but now we need to find a way to better survive on the surface because

Gravitation potions although viable mess with my head so much that I can’t hardly Dodge the Guardians projectiles the first step in the process was creating a massive platform that extends most of the world I already know I wasn’t able to quite outrun the guardian last week

But I have a few ideas for increasing my movement speed first things first I need a bunch of feathers for gravitation potions as well as aerospec armor for the Rogue class which I only realized existed this week switching between Mage to Rogue was not fun last week and now

That I realized that there was a rogue set this made it a lot easier I was also able to snag a water candle from the dungeon to increase Harpy spawns to make the grind session a little less well grindy I equipped the mag luminesence as well and I’m feeling pretty good okay

Okay now now we’re cooking we’re we we’re cooking all right we can do this we’re about to kill a dungeon guardian baby we’re going to do it it’s it’s going to happen I’m telling you there’s no way I could possibly lose easy easy easy easy money all right I didn’t spawn we we’ll

Try it again didn’t spawn again there he is there’s our buddy or or oh all right that that skull that that he cheated right there all right that that was cheating that’s what Skeletron I mean dungeon guardian just did right he cheated you see cuz that the skull moved

More than normal that that was cheating all right so that didn’t quite go as planned I just need to get him out of the dungeon to really see whether I can outrun him and sure enough on the second attempt I got him out the dungeon oh we’re still we’re too slow oh we’re

Still too slow no oh this movement speed for nothing nothing all right all right all right let’s just blindly try it again you got this don’t you dare oh I jumped I jumped right into that that wow okay they have that has more the hit boox is bigger than I

Thought it was okay okay oh that’s so come on you can’t just spawn on my face yeah I know the game doesn’t want me to kill it that’s one reason why we’re going to kill it game can’t tell me what to do I’ll do what I want darn it okay okay here we

Go oh I’m moving at the same speed as the arch okay so ooh okay if I move it the same speed as the arch of the skull oh what am I going to do about that that didn’t turn out too well and so the next strategy had to be formed the skulls

Shot from the dungeon guardian had an arc to them and its Arc was shooting in such a way that if I ran straight at full speed it would hit me but slowing down is not an option either but even when I tried to get good with the gravity reversing I just couldn’t outrun

The guardian so I need to go faster First Step was reforging every accessory I had to quick for 4% extra movement speed for every accessory Calamity also makes it so reforging is much easier and a lot cheaper the accessories never downgrades so once you hit the highest

Reforge tier you will only get highest tier reforges it’s very convenient I’m also doing fishing Quest when I remember in a vain attempt to get the bottomless water bucket from the angler but he is not giving it to me I farmed some more for potions and tried the Guardians

Again but I’m still far too slow so what can I do to increase my movement speed well let’s introduce the Dune Rider boots These Boots are extra fast when run running on Sand including Sandstone so if it’s enough of a boost I could replace the entire platform in the sky

With Sandstone I just need to test the speed boost all right we’re at 41 we’re not going any faster wait what 49 okay we go to yeah it’s it’s the same wait what oh I don’t have them on when I fixed that these boots went a

Whole 4 mph faster than the regular ones but I still want more speed so I went to the Jungle to collect jungle spores for an ink of wind see Calamity adds a recipe to craft the ink of wind it requires more than just jungle spores

But it’s the only part of the recipe I don’t currently have this will boost my movement speed by another 10% I did toy with using Frozen slime blocks as well these frictionless blocks can really get you moving but with where we are in progression I’d have to grapple and

Disable the hook at just the right time and it’s already hard enough getting the guardian out of the dungeons so I wasn’t confident I could consistently get the hook just right so I stuck with the sand before fully committing to the idea and replacing all the platforms I placed the

Sand and made enough of a Runway to get the general feel for it and also put down sunflowers below and those sunflowers also gave me another 2 mph this is by far the fastest I have ever moved in preh hard mode but I’m still not sure it’s going to be fast enough I

Summon the guardian again and this is the moment I fully locked into this idea oh oh and it’s not shooting either okay okay we just need a few more miles per hour just a few more we have a we have it we have a shot we have a shot and so

I conducted a bombing campaign in the desert shimmered a jelly accessory into vital jelly which increases movement speed by 12% and farm for more feathers because it was a blood moon and because a harpy ring can be made with feathers this ring gives me yet another 10% movement speed now that I fully

Committed to this idea I replace the platforms with sandstone and spread some flowers throughout it so I’d never be with that one and so it was time for the Moment of Truth all right he’s up oh he’s still a little bit faster do have the pots oh no oh he’s still a little

Faster a yeah I can’t no oh I didn’t equip the harp ring okay okay hold on that that can give us another okay okay I am also using swiftness potions to increase my movement speed by 15% I was so close that last time but maybe another 10%

From The hary Ring will put me just over the edge okay here we go here we go oh even have the heartbe ring it’s still faster it’s still faster get and considered using Shadow scale armor as it’s known for increasing movement speed but it turns out aerospec actually increases my movement speed

Even more than Shadow scale so that’s not a viable strategy either all I ended up changing was grabbing some bacon it gives major improvements to all stats including movement speed and maybe it’ll give me just enough of that little boost I need all right and it’s out

And that might be it we’re going the same speed we got it we got it we got it we got it we can do this okay okay wait a no no oh no no slimes no if you looked closely you could see see the dungeon guardian might have been

Very slowly catching up to me but I’m not all that concerned about that right now I need to figure out how to avoid slimes and other enemies having any enemy in the way will stop my momentum entirely and jumping over them is not an option as it causes me to lose speed as

Well I didn’t like it but I switched the luxer gift with the royal gel this will make me immune to slimes and that’ll be great but it will also be reducing my damage considerably it’s not ideal but this is more of a test to see if the guardian really does still move faster

Than me or not all right he’s folling us out I do think he is just a pixel faster than me I think he is he is so ever so slowly catching up to me oh no no I have so much extra movement speed no no no get away get away no no

No get away from me get away I’m still just a little too slow and I’m not sure what to do I kept messing around with all the accessories I could think of to increase my movement speed but nothing was substantial enough to make the difference I needed now some

People in chat mentioned using hoes and for those of you who might be thinking the same thing I refuse to use hoes on principle I know Rel logic has deemed them intended gameplay but I personally don’t like them so I refuse to use them desperate for ideas I considered using

Minecart rails these are definitely fast enough but their acceleration is pitiful this is why I haven’t tried using them yet because I was certain they wouldn’t go fast enough but I decided to give it a try come on come on come on come on oh not even

Close and that brings me to the end of the week already there was a lot of grinding and a lot of failures that I didn’t mention the number of times I’ve actually summoned this thing is quite staggering and so is the sheer number of potions wasted in my futile attempt to

Kill it but there is one more strategy there’s a weapon called the old lords o sword that drops from bone serpents this weapon launches you like a cannon and so it might be able to be used in a mine cart to get that initial acceleration I

Need or else I can use it to put distance between myself and the guardian after inches a little too close I can hardly believe I spent the whole week just trying to kill this thing and still haven’t managed to accomplish it and after 15 minutes of grinding in the

Underworld I didn’t even get a bone serpent to spawn so I didn’t get the sword so I guess I’ll have to return to this next week okay okay fresh eyes and a new look at how to overcome this great challenge I’m not going to go through the brainstorming that happened in my

Discord or anything like that because it’s not that interesting but I’m sure some of you are thinking about a certain strategy posited by a video or two where the player use several variants of Speedy boots and as I’m sure there’d be plenty of people trying to point me to

This video I just wanted to say that it was a tempted but Calamity actually Alters the way that these boots function so they don’t stack on top of each other thus making the strategy imp plausible what changes am I going to make well I abandoned the oath sword idea and the

Change that I am going to make is actually really small we’re going to equip the Panic necklace this lovely little accessory greatly increases your speed after taking damage and in testing it increased my speed by a wiing 5 mph which should certainly push me over the necessary hurdle to outrun the dungeon

Guardian of course you may be wondering how I’m going to take damage for that speed bonus when the dungeon guardian one- shots me and hitting other enemies can stop my all important momentum the answer is quite simple I need spikes let’s try this that didn’t get me much of course

Gathering them won’t exactly be a simple task oh darn it ah it was kind of funny really because dungeons always are filled with spikes and yet I’m not seeing hardly any of them near where I am I could mine around and find more I’m sure but I shouldn’t actually need a

Whole lot of spikes I can space them out pretty far at the speeds I’m moving I did notice a potential problem though while testing with a few spikes I collected I took a solid 40 to 50 damage every time I walked over one of these spikes and considering how the dungeon

Guardian battle will take a while I’ll be running over a lot of spikes and taking a lot of damage this can be mitigated with potions but we’ll have to see so I gathered spikes which wasn’t exactly the easiest thing to do throw awesome new strategy to kill the dungeon

Guardian it’s right there I only ended up with 15 spikes but I’m fairly certain that will be enough a Blood Moon didn’t make the process of setting up this whole Arena I guess we’ll call it any easier so I placed all the spikes spacing them out as much as possible and

Then farm for more feathers to craft gravitation potions and headed to the dungeon to see if we’ve at last cracked this puzzle okay okay we’re fine we’re fine yes all right here we go yes we’re faster we’re faster yes oh stoping okay okay we got oh right right right watch for the

Skulls okay okay okay there we go extra speed get us some distance watch them watch the enemies what what was that what okay I think I know what it was what I thought it was was the dungeon guardian shooting a single skull when it went through the

Platform fors I swear I’ve seen this before but that’s not what actually happened when looking back at it but it’s definitely what I thought happened and so I spent the next 10 minutes replacing all the platforms with solid blocks will this make any actual difference I don’t think so but it makes

Me feel better oh what what there he is all right here we go let’s do this let’s do this I’m even slowing down a little bit to make sure that we keep Pace with him all right all right got to keep an eye behind me for enemies like that go down fast

No stop making stupid mistakes oh like that oh yeah this is the perfect music for this it’s really getting no oh we only got three left oh I actually oh oh come on oh come on oh potion go oh it’s above me did you see that carb did you see

That that cheated it cheated it cheated cheating dungeon Guardians aside I am still short on potions once more so I farm more feathers and return to the task at this point I spent some five or six hours on this single task all to defeat the dungeon guardian I poured in

Blood Sweat and Tears mostly tears I tried again and again but actually got on a good run uh-oh uh-oh uh-oh no ah the Slime no okay clearly enemies are going to be a problem even if they don’t hit me jumping to avoid them can be an issue as

It’ll let the dungeon guardian shoot skulls and to avoid a skull I need to jump again let letting it shoot again and it’s a vicious cycle so I replac my heartbe ring sacrificing a little speed for immunity to slimes and this one switch changed everything 1,000 come on 800 uh now

800 come on seven six come on five four come on three two one kidding me at the last POS moment those definitely were not the sounds of a man losing his mind but proved that it’s 100% doable so I extended the platform and moved on to another attempt all right all right all

Right here it comes here it comes all right here we go round two well it’s a bit more than that we increased the length of the thing we should be fine all right we should be fine we will be fine all right you know what it’s not even not even a

Question we will be fine wait I have the fungal Clum wait why do I have the fungal Clum why do I have the fungal Clum you shouldn’t be here I mean I’ll take it all right we got a 2,000 don’t need to worry about the Slime every time

I see one I I’m I’m about to jump then I remember I don’t need to all right it’s halfway we got this come on come come on 1,000 eight or I guess nine now it’s eight okay oh that does actually feel like it’s doing more s he six come on

5 come on come on four yes yes three yes yes two come on one and and and yes yes we got it we got let’s go yes we got him we got him yeah l it is done 7 hours to kill this thing and literally a half hour more cleaning

Up this massive mess but I’ve beaten a dungeon guardian and not just that a Calamity dungeon guardian baby it is leagues more deadly than the vanilla one all right that’s that’s an accomplishment to commemorate the moment I switched out the dummy above the storage with the full armor and load out

That took down the guardian as an eternal reminder of what was accomplished this day going to be honest though I had no idea what to do after this I had just planned on fighting the guardian so I went on a fishing Quest as I need the bottomless water bucket for

That build and as it so happened that was the quest to get me one oh it’s a good day bottomless water bucket it gave me two which had me curious if Calamity made it so I could Shimmer one but I could not why did it give me two of

These who needs two bottomless water buckets whatever the reason may be I added water to the build still need the part in the above section but I’m going to need wiring to get the whole effect I’m looking looking for so that’ll happen next month and so now with the

Remaining time I figured I’d get to work on some building last month I thought about replacing this crane with a crystal drill combining these two builds here so I tore down the crane and got to work I started off making an outline for the drill bit which looks pretty

Promising if you ask me I painted the copper plating black and added walls smooth the whole thing out and I guess it looks okay looks more like a dentist tool than an actual industrial drill at this point I tried adding an outline with wool from plating but I’m not super

Happy with it it’s a little too bulky at the head so I slimmed it down it’s fine I guess but still needs some work I’m just not sure how to improve it with my meager skills the rest of the house that drill is on should be brought into its

More techy theming though so the gray brick was replaced with wolf from plating and the wood was Sun plate painted gray the wood walls were replaced with lab walls I painted the furniture sky blue which I had also done to the wolf from plating around the drill it kind of compliments the ca

Prism stone drill bit and adds a splash of color I also ended up putting in some random lab tech stuff it looks I hate this build maybe not I hate it I’m not a fan of it I added rusted pipes and painted them gray which helps tie the drill and

The building together I think it was only now that somebody mentioned there’s a bunch of wolf from building materials that look a whole lot better than a painted wooden chair it’s a blood moon so I know it’s not easy to see but trust me it looks a lot better I’ve also

Gotten a stupidly High number of Blood Moons this run it feels like they’re every other night now one reason I had combined the crystal with the drill was to open up more space for this swampy Living Wood building because I wanted it to be more of a a full Village rather

Than a single isolated spot I try to make it look similar to the others that had been built prior but it’s also meant to be the sort of like main house so it’s also different there was yet another Blood Moon as I was building see see what I mean with these things

Happening all the time I like how I framed the one window with platforms above and below it but I wish there were vertical platforms or something skipping past the blood moon because it’s hard to see here’s the final result I want to continue upgrading as time goes along

But this is a really good foundation and can definitely be left as is if I don’t know what else to add and at this point I just messed around in Magic storage seeing what can be crafted I found a few weapons that were easily craftable a few

Which were at least on tier Calamity also makes it really easy to get Terror spark boots so I made one pair of those and two pairs of frost barks I only need two more pairs of water walking boots to get ter Sparks for the other two builds but crafting those requires water

Walking potions in Calamity and making those require shark fin and of course those suck to farm and I’m out of time that’s February and we’ll get to move on to March now the dungeon and Skeletron is the only real progression coming in March the other bosses are kind of just

Bosses who don’t really unlock anything but hey another month and the final month in Pre hard mode so that’s exciting
