Can You Beat Terraria With ONLY Light and Dark Weapons?

hey what’s up gamers it appears I have woken up in a world split across two different paths one filled with an immense and edgy amount of darkness and the other filled with a blinding light brighter than checking a text on your phone on max brightness at 3:00 in the morning in this playthrough we will be constrained to using only weapons of light and dark in attempt to beat the game with only that limited loadout selection this world will be a master mode world medium-sized and we’ll be using the corruption as our evil biome you know I thought it had some more edgy dark vibes to it and it also had a nicer weapon selection for early game this will be a weapons only themed challenge so we will be allowed to use any armor tools or accessories that we please mr yav why aren’t you restricting the accessories silly viewer I would like to actually enjoy the game for once but don’t worry this challenge is by no means an easy one and I’m sure you’ll enjoy it so with everything now laid out let us get right into it [Music] [Music] started off our world exploiting mother nature for her natural resources before heading into a cave to look for some ores and life crystal goodies we tried to box ourselves in from a specially motivated slime on the task to obliterate any human it crosses paths with we failed it succeeded in its mission what was that all right good thing we’re out of danger now the next yellow slime I see I’m lubing it up hey on the bright side though we found a nice little mushroom biome these things always have good loot now there is a chest down there but the question is how do I avoid the incoming gang bang that would be involved with getting that chest yeah you know what i’m just going to dig around them instead of trying to fight them you know think smarter not harder also a nice little cloud in a bottle accessory is not going to hurt anyone i’ll take that right up i don’t know if you can see it but there’s two life crystals and a nice little chest down there hopefully we can get it i am currently being jumped please somebody help me please you know I want to be mad but like I’m I’m not going to be mad two life crystals right next to each other and I’m actually finding like a decent start like I have a decent start for once and there’s a flare gun it shoots out like flares right so like that provides light that’s a light weapon man I just love these mushroom biomes baby they are just packed with loot and life crystals who can complain yo the bone merch sorry my man hopefully the nurse can heal that i mean I don’t know if she takes undead let’s see what do we got here um yeah so I’m broke as a joke right now but I’ll like take the torches I guess we find a band of regeneration a pair of cave bats defending a life crystal a useless mace and an extrainator hm a pair of Hermes boots or something like that would have been I don’t know useful but whatever i guess it’s better than dying 10 trillion times this is everything that we got from the caves pretty decent haul if you ask me we make a silver helmet silver boots and a copper chest plate we mix up a cocktail of gravity and featherfall potions and then we go skyborn looking for some sky islands and hopefully getting something like wings or balloons or literally anything hopefully we just don’t get any magnets oh well it’s okay lightning never strikes twice it’s okay lightning never strikes thrice even though we ran out of gravity potions we still had some feather fall duration left and we’re conveniently by our corrupt biome maybe we’ll be able to get our first dark weapon the ball of hurt well we got a musket not what we wanted we can open two more of these until the worm decides to come out and then strangle our own balls honestly am I the only one who likes the shadow orb and like the little crimson heart i think they’re cool i like that they provide light a bit yes sir third times the charm we got that ball of hurt the only downside is there’s now a giant purple fallace that is entering my ass so uh I wasn’t recording oops and all I really did was just make a small base and now we’re going to go back to do some grinding try to get some money you feel me but first if an original gangster like me is going to go out and acquire some bread we need to ice ourselves out it’s a good thing my friend Fishbowl has hooked me up with an amazing custom vanity set god damn ladies beware there’s a flash flood warning in your area right now if you’re interested in commissioning your own custom vanity set be sure to check them out on here or on Discord we head back underground to procure even more money and goodies and we run into a pair of god damn Hermes boots let’s [ __ ] go oh no all of my money i could finally afford rent for a single month after losing all of our money and to calm down a little bit we decide to go back up and trying our luck at more sky islands and we find a red balloon you know what i can’t complain that’s a pretty good accessory we upgrade our chest plate to gold and set up an actual place in our mega corp apartment structure to run our business endeavors from and proceed onwards to exploring the entirety of the surface of our world and we find an anklet very nice we head back once more to the caves to mine up demonite and max out our life crystals for a full 20 heart HP life bar we teleport home and notice Christmas came early this year in the form of a goblin invasion so now we get to pummel their disgusting green faces into the dirt man long have I waited to completely wipe out the goblin species from this world not only so that I can be the sole choice for the mechanic to marry but also so that I never have to look at one of these booger colored [ __ ] ever again we take care of the goblins and ensure there are no survivors call me the goblin slayer the way that no woman or children will escape my judgment the only good goblin is a dead one after that rude interruption we proceed with smelting up some demonite weapons a lights bane and a demon bow so now we are ready to take on some bosses we spin the block over to the jungle to look for chests that might have suspicious looking ice summons in them and find the goblin tinkerer in the most inconvenient spot imaginable all right we’re going for it we’re going for it come here come here come here you dumbass goblin okay okay okay we’re good we’re good [ __ ] barely got him [Music] man what the hell is this floating eyeball doing here i did not summon you oh man oh man we have nothing like set up we are We are like raw dogging it oh no despite the eye of Cthulhu deciding to randomly pull up to the crib just like the goblins it’s actually not that hard to beat and uh you know I mean the nurse is here might as well make use of her right like I mean I barely use her anyways it’s not cheesing he decided to show up without any consent i get to use my nurse we dispatch the floating retina and tear out a shield of Cthulhu from its goodie bag we noticed the goblin tinkerer decided to finally move in and buy an accessory combination station rocket boots and combine a few of our accessories we moved to the underground corrupt caves to begin fighting the Eater of Worlds drink down the limited amount of potions we’ve gotten this far and start the battle we’ve combined our demon bow with arrows of light to shred through the eater of asses multiple segments the damage is amazing however we made one fatal flaw we only brought like uh 80 of them [ __ ] we’re left to use our melee weapons and fight close range our dodging skills are horrible and we begin taking massive amounts of damage the eater of ass secures his dub does the Fortnite donkey laugh emote on us taunting us that he had less than 2,000 health remaining and leaves the fight however did drop a lot of wormy scales that we can use to craft up a demonite pickaxe to get better gear and then challenge him to a rematch we go to hell to get a hell forge and some demonite get harassed non-stop by the locals you’d think I was wearing godamn red on Oblak the way every creature is taking a shot at me let me [ __ ] mine in peace we craft a full molten loadout kit it out to the max and also make a volcano great sword for later when we use it to make a night’s edge we also craft up a few hundred hellfire arrows so that we can use them to blow up every chunk of that dumbass worm knockk knockock [ __ ] you think I’m going to let you laugh on my dead corpse like that and not get revenge we spawn up the Eater of Worlds for round two and rain down Hellfire arrows onto each one of his segments each arrow does enough damage to shred that HP bar despite our better armor and weapon ammo we still almost die better gear can’t always solve skills issue problems I guess either way packwatch you dumbass worm now it’s time in the playthrough to swing over to the Goonjin hopefully to get ourselves a Muramasa and a shadow key gh look at that old Goonar who knows what he’s thinking of back in my day we didn’t have these fancy enemy figures to go to we had to abide our home bro and make do jesus Christ man we curse the old gooner and we start up the fight with Skeletron and we lose that’s it that’s the playthrough everyone can you beat Terraria with only light and dark weapons nope so I hope you all have a good one and I’ll see you all in the next one uh fine we’ll keep going i’m not mad that I lost i’m mad that I have to spend all of this money that I was saving on better accessories i’ll never afford a house in my life we have one simple strategy for Skeletron we use our demon bow and its hellfire arrows to chip away at his hands then we use our light bane to finish them both off quickly and we use our bow when he is far away hawking his skulls towards us get it hawking his skulls to towards us toward towards like to towards hawk to a meme feel free to subscribe after hearing that absolute banger of a joke we head down the dungeon in search of a Muramasa and a cobalt shield one of you guys taught me how the chest loot works down here so this should be quite easy this is the first gold chest so this should be our What the [ __ ] is this you liars all right the cobalt shield was correct it was the second chest so I’ll let you keep your balls this time unregistered firearm unregistered yo-yo cobalt shield dupe finally we teleport home and combine our cobalt shield with an obsidian skull and head over to the jungle we chase after and kill some hornets and collect jungle materials to make a grass sword we combine our Miramasa grass sword light bane and volcano into an averageized Knight’s Edge then we spend all of our dungeon loot money on reforging it to legendary next stop is down the elevator to loot hell in an attempt to get the Dark Lance the final preh hard mode weapon that we will be going after also I know this video has mostly been dark weapons since there really isn’t that many light weapons at least in early game but don’t worry the hard mode will flip the script pretty soon while I was in hell setting up the wall of flesh platform this happened hey yo okay that might be useful i didn’t have plans to farm demons for the demon scythe since it’s only about like a 2% drop chance but since we randomly got it we will be definitely using it the wall of flesh is the hardest boss before horrid mode oftent times I find myself facing it over 5 to 10 times per video before finally beating it and we clear it in the first run wait really well yeah honestly I found myself this run mostly using the wall of flesh as a giant glorified DPS meter for which one of my weapons could do the most amount of damage and I found it to be the dark lance surprisingly probably because of the shadow flame buff that it does on it but yeah maybe it’s just that I’m getting so much better at the game and that I’m just such a good gamer in general that nothing can ever damage me at all and I’m just actually the goat now that the wall of flesh has been defeated we have now entered hard mode round of applause for Mr y on graduating from Weeny Hut Juniors to the Salty Spatoon it’s now time for the next chapter of this [Music] video for all of my new time viewers let me show y’all what comes next after I beat the Wall of Flesh I start grinding i put on my blue collar and start my 25-hour unpaid shift and I don’t complain one bit cuz mama didn’t raise no [ __ ] i forged my own titanium armor hands melted no gloves no goggles and I love knowing a real man made this i wanted to keep going with that but that really hurts my voice so unfortunately no more Home Depot Yub for the time being after changing the conservation status of harpies from endangered to critically endangered we make a pair of heartbeat rings we forged him to winging and bask in our completed pre- mechanical boss loadout it’s a beautiful thing isn’t it game progression it’s taken quite a long time to get here so if you’re enjoying the video be sure to leave a comment on what you think of it so far like the video and subscribe it would be pretty cool if you subscribed i’m just saying you would really make my day here have an advertisement we set up the mechanical boss arena and decide to fight the destroyer first we’re going to use our demon sight to hopefully shred through all of his segments the fight is an absolute humiliation we do nothing to him our DPS is laughable our dodging skills even more so we will be forced to look for a better weapon we swing over to the world’s hollowed biome and dig down to the cavern layer to begin construction of a hollowed mimic farm we are going to be going after the legendary data stormboat and combine it with the holy arrow combo to relive the glory days before it was nerfed and when it was the best weapon in the game we continue construction of our farm die die die is 15 seconds of peace too much to ask for i I’m not even just fighting the mimic i’m fighting the goddamn Avengers man world’s longest fight please just die give it to me give it to me i’ll take that [ __ ] it we all I am the sole reason a little girl is not getting a unicorn for Christmas this year it’s time the rematch with the destroyer is intense every hole in our body is being probed a lot but our datalus and his holy arrows are absolutely ravaging the destroyer this fight will be a race against time will we be able to beat the destroyer before sunrise or will our DPS not be enough with just only 3 minutes to spare we take out the destroyer and the first of the mechanical boss trio falls after spending a day to replenish our holy arrow ammo we take on Skeletron Prime next this fight is on a constant knife’s edge we can easily no hit this boss but one mess up with our shield of Cthulhu dash and we will get that Skeletron Prime slice and dice special and a fair warning we do not want the special we manage to recover and are able to deliver the finishing blow blows uh we’re able to deliver the finishing 6,000 arrow and star strikes and crunches Chromiius Domius into a tiny aluminum tin foil ball we punt it away out into the distance never to be seen again and now that leaves the twins as our final mechanical boss that we need to defeat we create an Excalibur the legendary sword of light and heroes to replace our Knight’s Edge and get ready to face the twins every time I fight the mechanical boss trio usually two of them go pretty well but one of them always ends up being an absolute nightmare in this run it’s going to be these ugly ass abomination eyeballs due to our dataless storm boat constantly raining arrows basically everywhere that means we cannot really accurately target one eye at a time so that means both of their HP will be lowered at an equalish pace and that means both of them will enrage into their second form at roughly the same amount of time if you have ever had the displeasure of fighting the twins in their second form at the same time you know this is way less than ideal and it is brain numbingly difficult to deal with spasmatism is constantly tweaking out and tries to barf his game of breath all over you while ramming towards you like a deer trying to locate the nearest two-tonon truck on the freeway and Retinaser mad from years of being neglected getting zero play from any girls and never being invited to any hangout sessions unless spasmatism is invited because he is forcefully tied to him and they would have no other choice but to bring is constantly sniping you with FaZe Clan level accuracy laser beams the fight is close but we get grazed by Spasmatism’s atomic breath and promptly vaporize on the spot through much trial and error and getting better at dodge timings against their second form attack patterns we manage to defeat the last of the mechanical bosses we tear open their goodie bags for hollowed bars and their souls create a Drax full pair of hollowed armor and sleep waiting for life fruits and planter bolts to spawn in the following day we see a solar eclipse is happening while the sun and moon are becoming more than friends we farm up every wraith that we can find until one drops a death sickle this will be our final dark weapon of this challenge and also it will be the weapon to carry us to victory versus the infamous well-known mother of all plants in the jungle but first we have to get busy collecting some chlorophye and every life fruit that we can find to give us a slightly added chance of defeating this planty mama we craft up a full pair of chlorophy armor and then head over to our Planter arena to begin the fight all right engage the wash cycle spin it around and don’t look down keep plant terror and her massive cabbage wagon moving and we’ll be in the all clear desperately avoid her planty gripping grabbers from getting a hold of your groing sploingus unless you’re into that then by all means go get yourself some fine [ __ ] you feel me i wonder what quirky little boss we have to take out next it’s Golem right it’s It’s Golem right [Music] you know what that wasn’t even that bad of a run we We’ll probably get this in like three tries yeah yeah this shit’s not happening daytime’s not happening i wanted the Terranisma but I’m not getting it i I I I’m not mad i She’s doable look at that look at that HP that’s like one/3 [Music] left where’s my dash man i hit the stupid shield no so 2K oh my god i’m getting the [ __ ] Duke Fishron flashbacks from the water only challenge oh no it’s going to happen again oh no oh my god i [ __ ] did it let’s [ __ ] go i have to do that five [ __ ] more times for all the weapons oh my god [ __ ] me our reverse Empress bag drops us an Evant Tide an Infinite Flight accessory and a pair of Empress wings and these are just hands down the coolest wings in the game don’t at me the Evan Tide will be a direct upgrade to our datalless storm bow and it’s much better at fighting the Epis of light not only is it easier to aim and hit shots with this bow but it also does a lot more damage damn i’m going to put you in a glass jar and I’m going to do terrible things to you you greedy just dodge the ability first what am I doing i pick peace i pick peace in a world of hate I pick peace screw that beast i hate you you get what you deserve evide [ __ ] god damn it man i’m getting close i I’m just going to make this a bow only challenge who cares who cares like what what else can I do we get a starlight we get a kaleidoscope a collidoscope a kaleidoscope we get folded by a billion streaks of light we kill her again and we get a night glow all right I’m done that is it i’m not doing this anymore i don’t care i’m done no terrorismo this video not happening we spend all of the money we’ve gotten from Empress of Light on reforging and then we head over to the jungle to find the temple and defeat Golem as our next boss on our checklist we enter the temple and carefully navigate it trying not to damage the precious artifacts inside or trigger any of the dangerous traps yummy ow upon reaching Golem’s room we set up a Golem arena and start the battle our strategy to deal with this ugly glorified mud brick [ __ ] stain statue is pretty simple whenever we are high on health we use our Starlight sword to tear into his rocky flesh and whenever we get low on elf we swap to our Evant Tide and snipe him from afar when the fight gets close clutcher kicks sweat dripping down our forehead and our ash cheeks clenched as hard as possible we swap to our night glow to attack for us with its homing light blade so we can focus on dodging once Golem falls we kill him a second time for more beetle shells then we head home make beetle armor which weirdly enough in this mod doesn’t require turtle shells i don’t don’t look at me i didn’t make the Fargo’s mod i just work here anyways look at our hero tucked away sleeping i wonder what he could be dreaming of the next boss is the cultist no no no after that nightmare ends we head over to the dungeon to go check on the lunatic cultist do we really have to kill these cultists they seem kind of chill hey man did you hear about those new Prismatic Evolution Pokémon card sets yeah man i wake up every day at 4 a.m to go try to get as many as I can and then I resell them for $500 a box man I hate scalpers so much after killing his scalping low-life friends the lunatic cultist comes out of hiding and we engage him in a massive one-sided beatdown we shove our weapons of light into his pointy beak of a nose primarily our starlight due to its rapid damage per second capabilities the fight has a brief close call when the cultist unleashes his special star shotgun ability towards us nearly tearing our head clean off but thanks to our full warding loadout and beetle armor we’re able to withstand it and deal the finishing blow to him summoning the pillars into the [Music] world with the pillars and aliens invading our world we swallow down a fresh set of potions and engage the Stardust Pillar the Stardust Pillar is quite based it supports summoners its enemies don’t give you seven different aneurysms to defeat it’s not too hard but it’s not too easy it’s the perfect design only beaten by the solar pillar because melee class remains a top of the world the Nebula Pillar is quite frustrating mainly because of its teleporting brain squids that make life incredibly difficult for no reason i don’t hate mages i think they’re pretty cool i support you but not as much as summoner or melee chats enjoy this third place bronze trophy hate let me tell you how much I’ve come to hate you since I began to live there are 387.44 million miles of printed circuits in wafer thin layers that fill my complex if the word hate was engraved on each nano angstrom of those hundreds of millions of miles it would not equal one 1 billionth of the hate I feel for Rangers at this micro instant for you hate hate i hate rangers i hate this pillar worst pillar i I mean we have the zenith like do I even need to make an argument why Melee is the best overrated overrated the only thing overrated is your mom squidward makes his grand appearance and the final chaotic battle of the century ensues originally I thought I would be using the nightcl the entire battle and maybe the Evan tide here and there until I notice when you move to the right or the left or even up the moonlight moves his eye closer to you allowing for true melee strikes you know what that means this is amazing for our starlight we might actually be able to beat him on the first try die oh never mind that would have been too good to be true we make the effort to carefully lower each one of the Moon Lord’s eyes down to low health all at the same time so we can pop them all out of their tentacally sockets in unison making sure to use our Empress Wings of Lights abilities to quickly ascend to dodge the Moon Lord’s dangerous laser beams in the process once all of the Moon Lord’s eyes have been pinched out of his slimy grimy squid hands his heart and weak point become exposed we take our Starlight and stab it with more fury than your father hitting you after waking him up at 2:00 a.m due to a mistimed gamer rage stream and there you have it there you have it second try Moon Lord light and dark only challenge i’m just the goat i’m just him no one can compete with me no one man let’s [ __ ] go put down my victory statue right here yes sir next to the six goddamn emperor statues and everything else oh my [ __ ] goodness let’s go we didn’t even get something cool from this but it’s okay it’s over thank you guys so much for watching i’m going to do the outro here instead of scripting it thank you so much for watching if you

  1. This video was made off of your guys feedback!

    I tried to be more original with jokes and also fix my tone shifts and voice over quality.

    If any jokes were already used it was genuinely a mistake, so I hope you can forgive me for it. (Specifically wasn't sure if the hawk tuah skeletron joke was said before, made me really paranoid)

    I hope you enjoy the video!

  2. Personally I would have allowed the Terra Blade. As it days its a sword of Light and Darkness. Its PERFECT for this challenge

  3. Loving the energy PancakeTime
    (In all seriousness thats a compliment its a great video and feels humorously inspired by WaffleTime’s sense of timing and delivery)

  4. I saw a kaleidoscope and terra prisma, so I would assume yeah, but one problem, beating empress of light daytime restricted to those categories? Usually a summoner setup is good because the DPS shreds her within seconds, a good summoner build is how I managed to kill daylight empress within a few tries; however, I’m not sure it will be as easy here as I feel many good summoner armors, items and accessories before it will be out, I only feel some like maybe the berserkers glove (crimson glove, so it counts as dark item.) and maaaaybe Spooky Armor? It might be the only usable one, I’d recommend tiki armor as the higher whip range allows you to stay back from some of the empresses attacks, if you good tho spooky armor can help you have more DPS.

  5. i really do enjoy the waffletime-esque commentary. even if ppl say otherwise, i don’t have a problem with you using a similar commentary style to him. both of you are really funny and you have your own spin to it. so keep it up!

  6. The commentary is actually pretty nice and pretty funny. Falling asleep while watching these vids at 2 am just hits different

  7. this guy supports summoners? even if he does have meele and summoner as best and second best mixed up he's all right in my book
