Terraria Master Mode but I can’t choose my weapon…pt 2

how’s it going everyone welcome back to the random weapon challenge we did get the rotted fork for Skeletron so we will be using that until we can get the next weapon um and hopefully it’s good but let’s go find out okay so there’s 180 available weapons here and surely a good chunk can deal with wall flesh pretty easily this is one I want really good luck on we may have to use a reroll so here we go 3 2 1 [Music] okay I don’t know if that’s possible i won’t lie oh and this is without whips too uh yeah summon weapons are pretty bad in this challenge so yeah as I was getting at the problem with fling staff is the damage it only does eight damage um and I don’t know how the targeting is going to be and whether they can even keep up when the wall flesh speeds up like they might just get trapped behind and because of the nature of this challenge can’t really use whips which is a very central part of the summoning class now there we go okay we have enough uh so goodbye rotted fork so that is our flink staff i guess we make some armor i think we have to go be armor um you have like two options in pre-arm mode near this point in the game oh what do we need for this actually I think we have to do the queen bee fight again oh is this enough oh easy okay never mind we don’t have to do queen bee again uh I remember we could shimmer the beads uh so we can get this armor so that puts us at with the reforge pre-buff 11 damage the good news is the wall of flash eyes have only six defense so there is an option on this boss to target where we will be doing more than one damage so that’s good that’s great even an interesting point was brought up um oh I love having summons this is great uh in the comments uh when we were doing the Queen Bee fight because we used the shield of Cthulhu and it was mainly used as not a way to do damage but to protect us from damage however we were still damaging the boss with accessories but I think I do agree that it takes away from the challenge if say we were up to like I don’t know one of the hard mode bosses and we just started using a bunch of accessories that do damage for us to where the weapon doesn’t really matter i think I agree i don’t want to do that but it gets tricky though because that then makes it even harder for us for say this wall of flesh fight because this stinger necklace not only do we get honey when we get hit but we also have the five armor penetration that could then stack with another shark tooth necklace to get up to 10 armor penetration but because it releases bees when we get hit that will deal damage so we lose out on all those bonuses so that’s where I’m like do we allow it do we not i don’t know it’s going to make it much harder without it but I think that’s the way we have to go at least for this episode but you know what we can do um we can just shimmer it so yeah great accessory that we unfortunately can’t use today all right so here’s our lineup we got 1 2 3 4 five we will be fishing for some summon potions that’ll put it up to six uh will that be enough maybe i don’t know i’m not convinced without the uh stinger necklace it’s like how much damage are we doing to this demon it’s taking a bit to kill but I mean the flinks yeah it could be worse we could have gotten like the fledgling staff I think is what it’s called we could have gotten the bird and yeah that would have sucked like all things considered we got an okay summon i can’t be too upset well the only part I’m scared of is because we can’t use whips um when the wall speeds up I don’t know that our summons are going to be able to keep up with it so we might get to the point where I’m just going to have to spam the summon onto like directly on the eye for the last little bit as if it were like a ranged weapon and we’re done okay so I guess we can start on this side complete test run i doubt we’ll get this but this will give us some good information on whether we can use this strategy it’ll also tell us how much damage we do to the hungry and the and the boss itself and whether we can target the boss effectively when it’s speeding up and we throw this over there we go so I guess we’ll focus the hungry first so not a ton of damage immediately the question is do I just ignore them maybe that’s the key uh-oh I messed this part of the bridge up that could have been bad no see we’re getting a few lasers in but notice that there’s a generally a lack of lasers okay the damage looks pretty good i think we ignore the hungry and we just try and keep refocusing them onto the eye cuz the damage is like it’s not bad okay so we got good info the platform worked great well sort of i got to build it better obviously cuz we kept getting stuck but as far as the purpose of preventing lasers goes it worked fantastic so we don’t have to worry about the lasers um it takes twice as long to build but I think it’s worth it in this case cuz we need to stay close and if we have to dodge lasers then we’re probably going to pull a off of the boss a lot yeah from there I don’t know what we do about when it gets fast that’s still a question left unanswered i mean hopefully it just goes well and it’s not a big deal i think we’re ready i didn’t quite get the best reforges and we might want to switch everything over to menacing in order to get this done um we have a few buffs and I’ll show you the bridge really fast it’s not huge cuz I mean it took a long time so hopefully we can get it done with this length but we might have to extend it i do understand that uh so without further ado here is our first real attempt with buffs i guess I’ll probably want to spawn these on this one yeah I don’t like how they keep getting reset oh our damage is looking great though i just wish they would stop focusing all of these other ones but all the hungry cuz it they don’t need to be okay nice they’re jumping at the top one that’s perfect i forgot that’s what we wanted to do for the most damage this is going great so far the leeches are starting to become a bit of a problem i’m going to put this on we just have to keep them focused i’m going have to just try and dodge the leeches i think this is working way better than they thought though they’re doing like actually a lot of damage they’re just so sick look at that this is perfect they’re all grouping up too but this is where it gets scary cuz I don’t know if they can keep up here okay the leech is getting a little crazy come on running low on health we just have to run holy [ __ ] i remember these leeches being so deadly oh we’re so close no we’re dead [Laughter] okay we’re fine if we we make it just like a hair longer which is really disappointing because we were so close i am surprised by how much the uh the leeches were doing they were kind of destroying me so I’ll go extend that bridge and then uh hopefully that’ll do it come on i’m out of mana oh my god no no oh no are you joking [ __ ] i was out of mana no we had 90 health left i knew this would be the issue as soon as you get to like that tiny shred of HP left then we just have to like get one hit on it you’re joking 48 health dude oh my god there we go okay oh my god oh my god that sucked that was actually That’s the hardest wall of flesh fight I’ve done in a long time not the hardest ever by any means but that was rough but we did it so that’s all that matters i am ready to spin and get a much better weapon than this flink staff um that being said it it worked we didn’t have to spend a roll um I could have if I just wanted to make my life easier but technically we could have gotten something worse it’s like if we get a short sword there it’s just a auto roll so it could have been worse let’s uh hope for the next one i think it’ll be queen slime that we get a little bit better luck so we go to the next stage you’ll see the number come way down because we no longer can get pure weapons which I’m really happy about so I think just about everything should be able to deal with the queen slime um I’ll double check that’s the stage we’re on yes that is three two one classy cane that cannot be good classy oh god it’s the weapon from the tax collector 16 melee damage i think this is going to be our first roll it’d be one thing if it was against a boss that didn’t have a ton of contact damage queen Slime is not one of those bosses we have 180 contact damage its defense is 26 that’s a 16 damage weapon this is going to be a first reroll let’s try again so we have four left for those who are new we get five rerolls for the entirety of the playthrough the run hopefully we get something better 3 2 1 oh god okay doable but this is going to be one of those painful ones i can’t escape summoner here this is no whip summoner with the spider staff which I think is pretty terrible against Queen Slime uh-oh i just realized this is going to be much worse than I thought in my head this is what we got the spider staff the summon no we got the spider staff sentry so I was feeling really good about getting through pre-h hard mode without using any rolls um and just like that we might need to use two on the first boss of hard mode which would leave just three left for all the mechs duke Fishison Empress of Light Moon Lord the pillars cuz we do one for each pillar i don’t know what I’m going to do to be honest okay so we’ve rigged up the farm um so at least the collecting won’t be hard all right so we have enough for everything uh well enough so that’s good we’ll put our fling staff away so yeah things did not really get easier I don’t think unless there’s something I’m missing with this weapon but yeah for those who have never used it I’m sure there are quite a few of you out there so yeah this weapon is a sentry so it doesn’t care about your summon slots it’s completely different so we put it down and that’s all we get we can get I think two of these if we can somehow manage to do the old one’s army but that even might be really difficult with just one queen spider staff unfortunately the gear we’re after from the old one’s army only drops from the dark mage meaning we’ll have to complete the entire event if we ever want to see these items but with just one sentry there is no way we could get it done so I resorted to the old ones army cheese for those unfamiliar it’s just a platform hoist that you can set up by hammering a block and then block swapping it with a platform this ho prevents enemies from walking through it but as far as the game is aware this is just an ordinary platform so it doesn’t get picked up by the events antiche it should be noted that the wirus can just fly right over but that’s just one enemy should be easy right i’m wrong the queen spider’s egg projectile has pretty abysmal range and velocity on top of that it takes a while to fire so by the time it’s ready the wyverns are often already out of range so I narrowly managed to get the wave five but there were even more wyverns this time compared to wave four so I was ultimately defeated before the dark mage could spawn so for the next attempt I made two additions to our strategy the first was the binoculars this item greatly extends the player’s view which allowed me to keep eyes on both portals so I could preemptively set up the sentry on any given side this gave it enough time to take the shot before the wyverns could get past the next addition was the dart trap the damage is pretty terrible in this trap at this stage of the game however given enough time the poison will really rack up some damage and start adding to that progress bar which in turn will spawn in the dark mage faster yes okay we killed one so we have the squire shield and then we also have the war table there we go so now we can have three spider saps so let’s spawn it in um I think I’ll just try and do the first phase right here like the damage itself isn’t too bad it’s not too great but it could be a lot worse this has got to be the most awkward Queen Slime fight I’ve ever done uh sure we can buff why not seems to be going decently well um we do have that platform up there but I can’t really get it get the boss to it i probably should have put like an artificial biome up there that would have been smart okay should be phase two coming up here there it is okay okay it’s not really working how I thought it would it’s too fast like it by the time the summon can even see the boss it doesn’t know what to do like it’s already out of its vision okay i think I’m just going to have to keep it in an area do a completely different strategy than what I’m used to and then ditch that area once slimes spawn in like I said I’ve only ever tried this fight with a mount and high movement speed couple that inexperience with the atrocious weapon that I’m forced to use and it made for an incredibly tense boss fight i’d have stretches where I’d be cutting the boss and dodging his projectiles well but then an ad would spawn and completely throw off my rhythm as you saw earlier this boss hits surprisingly hard so it doesn’t take much to die to it so I expected this one to take several attempts but despite being reduced to under 10 HP on two separate occasions thanks to a little bit of luck I was able to make it through yes okay we did it i’m so glad that worked okay definitely worth going for the the hassle of like the old ones army stuff cuz wow that did pretty good we did it first try i feel like on paper that should have been harder than the wall flesh fight but or at least I thought it would have been but it was doing decent damage and that’s the first time I fought it like that and that’s probably how you’re like supposed to maneuver around it but usually just unicorn mount it’s a lot easier please give me some good luck though all that being said yes we got it done but wow did that suck all the prep everything about that whole segment was awful this is going to be for the first mech boss we can choose so we do get the option to choose that is extremely good um because certain weapons are going to be a bit more suited for certain mech bosses so here we go 3 2 1 oh my god there are so many weapons that would be so good against these guys okay we have to choose destroyer right and we just go a melee build and then see what happens i don’t I don’t really know so we have 49 damage there’s just no way this is good uh we need new armor that’s a big thing new armor we’re going to need new accessories probably want some sort of gauntlet and I think we just go full bulk and potentially we just try and face tank it so I think we are ready so we have 99 defense pre-buff which is insane um we have some honey heart statues campfire lantern um bath statue gnome and then here’s our armor uh this is just max defense armor the max I can get right now as far as I’m aware but also good for um melee hits in general um and then yeah same idea just melee orientated or survivability accessories down here all hoarding of course and yeah we’ll see if that’s enough to face tank um the destroyer i think it will be let’s get started um okay not if we get hit by the head okay not working not working bill yeah bad plan this number is big but this one is much bigger that being said the sword dealt fairly respectable damage and the several hours of farming for bulky equipment didn’t go to waste as even after swapping out an accessory for some wings we can still take both the boss’s lasers and the ones from his pros so with some careful maneuvering away from any contact damage especially the head I was able to take it down there we go okay we did it um but it needed a lot of prep but that’s okay because I am not wanting to use another roll in this video um it’ll probably happen but we just want to delay that as much as possible so um yeah even with 111 defense if we get hit by the head we basically get one shot which is just ridiculous um I probably should have got life force now that I think about it i haven’t used that yet um in this video that would definitely help uh maybe for the next one uh we can go to the next stage we can see what we get please be something good no more true melee no more summon weapons give me something strong that is something strong okay we will take that um do I think twins or prime is harder i think I think the twins are I think we’ll use this on the twins there we go nice a good weapon i’ve been waiting so long for this it’s just night and day um since we don’t really need the bulk as much I might swap over to the frost set uh because that debuff I believe stacks cool so we have the frost set now um I was going to get some but we don’t have the witch doctor uh this got corrupted let’s do it all the effects are kind of distracting but we should be good now hopefully this is the right choice um doing this with twins it’s impossible to say it’s a great weapon for either honestly all the mech bosses this weapon can carry you through um oh we got a little bit of help from the star nice but it’s impossible to say until we see what we’re getting so we’ll find out and hopefully the rest of this video is kind to me because I feel like I deserve it the past few have been so bad especially compared to that first episode like we did we did really good we didn’t really struggle much nice very quick very easy boss fight we are already on to the next one let’s keep this going that took like maybe 10 minutes through that whole section so if we could just keep this good luck going then I will be very happy three two one the Drippler crippler i can’t say I’ve ever used this um this is pretty annoying to get as well it’s a drop from the Drippler which is a fishing enemy in a blood moon and they’re kind of annoying to defeat so I’m going to need to get some sonars probably set up a little arena and then in terms of the weapon I have no idea how good this is i can’t really speak on that um it should be able to take on Prime i don’t know how easily but hey another melee weapon yeah there we go nice that was only like three uh which is sick so here’s a new weapon um it’s hold down left click typical mace spin uh I guess flail spin but when you launch it not only does it have crazy range and is quick but it has a projectile too so that might be just something I want to spam from range uh that being said I bet the damage yeah would be insane if we get close i don’t know how we do that against skeleton bribe but maybe we try that out and see if we can make something happen it’s time for the final mech uh let’s see how this thing performs i’m really excited to try it out here we go we’ll buff where are you it’s just got crazy range too and it hits multiple times on the way through wonder if I could spin here no bad idea i will just get it it’s super satisfying to use i love this thing i find flails to be a little boring most of the time um but when you add a projectile to it and just the sheer power of this thing and the damage is insane so maybe I should give them more of a a shot cuz I never even bothered to try this thing out but it it’s doing really well and I just imagine this thing against destroyer like that would be the fight to use it oh you can spam it it retracts quicker i didn’t know you could do that so you can just spam projectiles like this oh that’s insane it’s like that close range like right now would be really good probably okay that’s super cool i don’t I guess you can probably do that in all flails i’ve just never tried it so we actually can just track it like this it does so much wow that’s actually I’m surprised that’s a really fun weapon and it seems super strong too surprised I haven’t used it before okay that is all the mech bosses done which just leaves Plantara let’s see if we can get three good ones to round it out we had three terrible ones at the start can we get three good ones for the end 3 2 1 Oh I have maybe tried this once i don’t think it’s going to be good against Fonta i can’t imagine also isn’t that from old one’s army which would be like impossible with this okay this weapon actually looks pretty damn cool i should have used it before so yeah it’s tier 2 old one’s army i don’t know how we’re going to do the old one’s army but I guess we’ll try we’ll figure it out unfortunately my struggles with the old one’s army continue despite having a solid weapon this time around one weapon can only do so much against an event that is intended to be done with several sentries this time around exploding cobalt gliders join the frey so we have much more enemies to deal with it took a ton of trial and error but after about an hour of attempts I found that saving up a ton of enemies before the final wave would allow me to burst them down all at once to get an early ogre spawn okay I managed to defeat one but we got the wrong item yeah this one isn’t guaranteed it shares the loot table with four other weapons so naturally we had to do this several more times in the end it took 2 hours of old ones misery to get this drop yes okay we got it oh my god that sucked i think we got it on like fourth or fifth try which is awesome but yeah I’ve never really used this weapon before so again pretty excited to try it out don’t know how great it’ll be against Plantara drippler worked well i’m surprised we were able to solo that to be honest it was very difficult but um and only possible because of the Ho but we were able to do it without any sentries again hopefully no more Old Ones army though so I did get a lot of the weapons so that’s good news there um I don’t know if there’s any way we get Betsy weapons though so again hopefully none of those show up in the future uh this is the left click it’s just kind of like a Oh wow that’s really cool yes there’s no secondary attack like I was thinking there was it’s just as you hit enemies you get ghosts very cool right but we have to get so close we have to get so close to the enemy to get these ghosts and and well to just get hits in in general like yeah really cool weapon but I would be lying if I said I wasn’t worried okay um I’ve killed 600 chaos elementals um no rod sight that’s a one in 400 um not including all our luck we have the gnome i’ve been throwing platinum in the shimmer uh the torch luck and still nothing so because I’m going to run out of time to record today uh at this rate I think what I’m going to do is just move on and probably come back to that when I have more time okay so I’ve had a little bit of time to use the weapon and it’s really good while I’m hitting enemies it just starts sending projectiles that like random enemies all across the area here so not only do I see where other enemies are but it also starts working on them um and just really good crowd control too just keeping things at bay and damaging them before they can uh get to me while I’m only focusing on one target so it’s been really really strong and I’ve really enjoyed it and while our uh run of discord uh farming attempt didn’t turn out we did spend a lot of time on the world so it hasn’t been too bad getting these uh life fruit um especially with this binocular or the binoculars great item i don’t take advantage of this enough the only downside really to this weapon is its range it’s not great you have to get very close to get damage uh but I think I might have a solution to this so what I noticed while farming was that I could use a dummy to spawn the projectiles which would then focus not the dummy not the target you’re hitting but something else entirely so the plan is if we can’t get up close we can line our arena with dummies always be hitting the dummy just like this and then having the projectiles go after the slime um so that’s the idea we’ll see if it works that has pretty good range too we have a blue slime up here and that can be hit without us being like close to it at all so while yes the range is terrible if we use dummies it’s actually very solid and for whatever reason there’s like a bias to attack enemies over the dummies which is great i mean it makes sense but because of that we can kind of abuse it so I’m going to take this moment to get a ton of hay and make as many dummies as I can and see if this works against Plantera this is shaping up to be a pretty interesting fight so I’m really glad we rolled this weapon okay so this is our arena now uh the one thing I didn’t realize is our shield bounces off these dummies so I might get stuck a few times and then this might just not work anyways we don’t even really need it in the first phase i’m thinking like this might do more harm than good um it depends how close we can safely get to Plantara so if we need to I’ll just do wide circles around like this or something i don’t know we’ll see so this is what we’re going to do we’re going to have little checkpoints as we were falling down like this with dummies so if we can’t get close and it’s way too dangerous or if we tried to get close we got hit we got to take time to heal we can just retreat stay by these dummies and then let the projectiles do some work let’s do this please work i really want this to work oh I could probably try it right now while it’s trying to get to us maybe it’ll work i don’t know if it’ll hit oh it does even while in the blocks that’s crazy so again I don’t know if this is best way to do this cuz you can probably get close it’s just from this range it’s pretty hard to dodge so it’s not the safest thing in the world mind you we’re not actually taking much damage part of me just wants to go in a tank you know what let’s use um Frost Timer for the first phase speed things up a bit okay maybe we shouldn’t get too overconfident on second thought we won’t be doing that we’re just going to use our dummies see this is where it’s really good we can just retreat we’ll use a heal retreat oh god these spiky balls okay we hit the dummy i knew it would happen okay the dummies are making it kind of hard to move i won’t lie uh-oh [ __ ] this isn’t looking good i lock in okay phase two here we go so I don’t know if we get like once here we’re just dead so maybe this works maybe it doesn’t i need to kill this hornet hope this dummy can help out here i suppose we could always target the tentacles we don’t even really need the dummies too much just makes it safer oh it’s going for all the other It’s not even going for planter herself it’s mainly the tentacles okay i didn’t think that through that was not planned out super well okay I might have to head back up yes we do that was bad planning see if we had the rod of discord we would have been fine [ __ ] okay we need to either time the hallowed armor set bonus or get lucky with the brain which I forgot to put on also I wasn’t using the best potion so lots of things to improve i will wire up those um heart statues and I’ll probably put them in the middle take these damn tentacles i’m getting worried about this fight this is actually kind of hard i think I’m going to go up now yeah we’re going to go up and we’re going to repeat i don’t think it despawns anymore so this will give us time to regen get some of these hearts going and then we’re going to do it all again i’m just going to repeat that process here lure it to the right first and then try and go down oh nice okay we didn’t use our invincibility that’s really good yikes yikes yikes run oh my god that was scary okay do it again do it again it doesn’t despawn we can safely do this okay we should be okay okay that was that was stressful so the dummies helped decently but it was better just to um attack close on the second phase um wow scary though very very scary fight but we got it done got it done hell yeah okay so despite some pretty terrible luck we’ve made it through part two with only using one- roll which means we still have four left for the remaining bosses which is huge cuz these mechs they they could have just despawned if we couldn’t kill fast enough yeah thank you everybody for watching i’ll see you guys for part

Today we’re letting a bot decide what weapon I have to use for each boss.

This concept has been one of my favourites over the years and I’ve been meaning to do another iteration of it for a long time. And today, nearly 5 years later, we’re finally getting around to it 🙂

★Rules★
-The weapon selected must be used against the next boss unless a “re-roll” is used.
-Traps may be used to help grind but are not permitted during boss fights.
-A maximum of 5 re-rolls are available throughout the whole run
-All bosses must be defeated.
-If no more re-rolls are left and the player is unable to beat the boss, the run is over.

  1. the Queen Spider staff is actually pretty strong; if you play around it's weird way of working. not having solid blocks on the floor of your arena HEAVILY nerfs the DPS of the weapon, since you're not getting the extra homing spiders that come out of the eggs that do happen to miss.

    It's not ideal for bosses alone, but those little spider's it spawns can tear things apart faster than you'd think.

  2. I think the damage accessories are fine. If you have a good weapon you won’t need to use them. For bad weapons it’ll make it more doable, so more weapons can used, and fun to create a unique build.

  3. your rules man. i say the accessories are fine, since you cant chose your weapon anyways; you might aswell pick the best ones to your advantage

  4. Not a very important comment, but for the OOA there's a block called the "venom dart trap" which is just a direct upgrade to normal dart traps crafted with a dart trap and a spider fang. Just a random tidbit for an obscure block 🙂

  5. I feel like Old One's Army should be allowed to use the OOA sentries, because it's essentially a different game mode. Even with the OOA sentries it's still hard with a bad weapon.

  6. I honestly think that summoner weapons should be allowed a (randomly selected) whip to go along with it. Otherwise you’re basically just running away the whole clip, and that’s not as fun to watch as a dynamic fight.

    Damaging accessories should also be fine as long as the accessory’s main point isn’t to deal damage (i.e. you are using it for the utility, the damage is incidental).

  7. i did this a while back after watching your first series on it and i got to use the drippler crippler for destroyer, absolutely melted him. didnt even know it existed

  8. I think this challenge might be a bit more interesting if instead of rolling for a weapon to kill a specific boss, you can choose any new boss to try and kill for a reroll (basically what you already do with the mech bosses). That way there would be some strategy involved in “saving” the easier bosses to kill later if you get a terrible weapon, instead of just using one of an arbitrary five rerolls. The downside is that you might not end up killing all of the optional bosses, but I don’t know how important that is to you for a series like this.

  9. cheesing the boss completely with accessories will take away from the challenge,using them casually is fine but doing something like infinite sand bee abuse or shimmering star veil should be prohibited.

  10. IIRC, if you just HOLD (so you don't need to use it, it wouldn't break the challenge) a melee weapon in your hand, the Sharpening Station buff will apply to your minions as well.

  11. I'm glad to see some flail love in the video; I enjoy using them, but it seems like most people hate em, lol
    Also, there's one in Calamity that's like the size of the Eye of Cthulhu, it's ridiculous

  12. If the accessories main point isn’t damage dealing, it should be allowed imo.
    So no Bone Glove or Star Cloak for example, but Stinger Necklace and Shield of Cthulu are fine.
