Can You Beat Terraria With Fire Weapons Only?

Humans have been using fire since the beginning. From cavemen huddling around it for warmth to whatever this is. It’s been everywhere, even Terraria. And with thousands of items in the game, I wondered, can you beat Terraria with fire weapons only? And if you’ve thought the same thing as me, even though most of you probably haven’t, I set out to find the answer. Also, for every boss fight, I’m going to show the full fight, but with the timestamp of where to skip if you aren’t interested in the bottom right corner. So, join me as I, ThunderCry, go into heat. Yes, I know what I said. So, the first problem right away is getting my first weapon. And I’ll be honest, the one of sparking totally slipped my mind. I had the cascade in mind for a while, but didn’t want to go down to hell without any protection. So, I delved underground and began my search for the Oh, sorry. For the God, I began my search for the mace. Yep. My first weapon is going to be the flaming mace. It’s an okay weapon that can inflict fire to enemies struck by it. So, it’ll have to never mind wand of sparking. [Music] And now with my super very overpowered wand of sparking, it’s time to burn down every tree and enemy I come across. But I didn’t go back to the surface. Instead, with my new weapon, I went down to hell. It was time to farm for the cascade. Yes, it’s time to get strong. And then at this moment, I paused the game and began the floodgates in the bathroom. And as I was there, I thought to myself, wait, can I even get it right now? Nope. So, I did what I always do when it feels like the world is up against me and I don’t have any other option. I went mining. But it turned out to be a blessing in disguise because as I was straight picking my axe in the caves, this happened. [Music] The flaming mace has been acquired. Yes. Oh my god, I feel myself getting larger by the minute. And by that, let’s just say my power level. But I’ll be real with you all, all you lovely people, all you beautiful viewers. I knew I couldn’t take down the Eater of Worlds with what I had on me. A wand of sparking and a flaming mace. This isn’t some amateur hour. I’ming thunder cry. It was either go big or go home. And like all other things related to me, I went big. I was going to get hellstone. But wait, I hear you asking, Thundercry. How are you going to get Hellstone without killing the Eater of Worlds? Don’t worry, honey. Thund Daddy’s got the answer. Deep in the oceans, there swims the Reaver Shark. And never mind, it was nerfed to the ground to 1.4. So, I harnessed my inner freak and got my quote unquote world eaten by multiple worms until I was finally able to get enough shadow scales for the nightmare pickaxe. And for those wondering, yes, I kept summoning the Eater of Worlds and slowly killed bits of it until they dropped enough scales for me. And boom, there we go. One steamy, hot, juicy, scrumptious nightmare pickaxe before any bosses have been defeated. I’m so hot. But with my nightmare pickaxe, it’s time to go even further. That’s right, baby. It’s time to get hell stone. What the hell indeed? as I proceeded to go into the warm depths and get a nose full of brimstone. Not going to lie though, I did get a little burnt out. Get it? Burnt like fire. W joke. W joke. Anyway, I did get burned out from mining. So, I went back home and took on the incoming goblin army. And once I curb stomped those gooblins, I crafted a W trio of fire weapons that no cap, no god legit carried me through the rest of preheard mode. The volcano, the molten fury, and the imp staff, which I literally kept with me until the end of the game. W summon. Also, something I should mention about the molten fury. Yes, it’s a fire weapon, so I could use jester unholy, even holy arrows later on. But to make it even more fire, I only allowed flaming arrows and cursed arrows. Epic flame mode. Before I advanced the story of fire, I thought it was high time for some NPCs to join me in this world. So, I built some houses and got ready for some new arrivals. And speaking of new arrivals, we have the Eye of Cthulhu. Heat. [Music] Heat. [Music] Earth’s. I stomped in two more eyes and went to find the goblin stinker. And once I found him and relocated him to my nice little hole in the ground that will cost him an arm and a leg, I went into the jungle in search of the anklet of the wind. I figured since I had the tinkerers workshop, I might as well get some upgrades in order. And just like that, I jammed my juice and got some lightning boots. Man, were these made for me or what? Cuz lightning. Get it? Like thunder. Like thunder. I explored some sky islands and got a nice red balloon. Yum. And also to get prepared for the hellfire in hard mode, I crafted the white string. I know I’m going to get the yo-yo bag, so I might as well start now. I was now basically the best I’m going to get weapon-wise in free hard mode, so I decided to start going after the bosses, starting with the Eater of Worlds. [Music] Heat. Heat. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Hello, [Music] [Music] heat. [Music] And just like that, we’ve been equipped with a shadow armor. I’m so bad. But if you agree, comment below. The boss rush isn’t over yet. My next target was the Skeletron of the Dungeon. I needed a shadow key to get even more fire weapons in hell. Plus, the cascade can begin dropping once Skelly boy is dead. Even though my weapon surpassed its damage, I still had it in the back of my mind for whatever reason. I built a little respawn shack. And if you could call this an arena, I built an arena. Bear witness to me smashing that skull. [Music] What the hell? [Music] Nice. [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] [Music] Hello. [Music] [Music] Heat. [Music] Heat. [Music] After I thoroughly used Skeletron, I tossed him aside and began my descent into the dungeon. And triple trouble. I got the mechanic, Elder Slime, and Shadow Key all at the same time. W dungeon. I’m elevating. I’m looting. I’m mining. I got the sun fury from a shadow chest. [Music] I also got a flame lash from the depths and used a combination of my weapons to destroy the king of Slimus. [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] And using all the hellstone I mined, I suited up with full molten armor. I’m such a demon. Without much else to do in preh hard mode, I began construction on my hell bridge. What I typically do is make obsidian platforms since lava doesn’t destroy them. It’s excellent when fighting lava slimes. I place some campfires and heart lanterns. Got to get that health regen up, you know. Yeah, you do. I know Dylan knows too, silly boy. I opened a couple more shadow chests and got the flower of fire and hellwing bow. [Music] But with everything else done, it’s time to take this wall to pound town. And let’s just say, well, I’ll let you figure it out. Heat. Heat. [Music] Heat. [Music] Heat. Heat. Heat. [Music] [Music] [Music] Right. [Music] With that slimy flesh sack down, I begin farming for the hellfire. Yeah, I’m honest. I totally forgot about the cascade, but I’m I’m fine with it. Not like it would have helped me anyway. But I did end up getting the hellish fiery yo-yo. [Music] With me in the world now in hard mode, I went to the underground hollow right below me. I’m going to be honest, I don’t fully remember why I went down there, but I did end up finding a skeleton merchant. And bada bing, bada boom, the yo-yo glove is obtained. And bada boom, bada bing, the yo-yo bag is also obtained. I was lucky enough to reforge it to menacing on my first try and quickly put that stuff on. So, the hellfire was pretty much my main weapon at this point. So, with some good protection, I went to the corruption and smashed the altars of demons. Blessing my world with palladium, which I won’t use, mithil, which I won’t use, and titanium, which I used a little bit. So, with the next stage of my world achieved, I began doing every terrarian’s favorite thing, the dreaded hard mode or grind. And finally, after like an hour and a half, I was able to get the titanium forge. I wasn’t going to make titanium armor or anything. What do you think I am? I’m going to go for the epic one, the frost one. My plan is to get the frost armor for the set bonus, allowing my melee and ranged attacks to inflict frost burn on enemies. Pairing that with the hellfire, which inflicts fire on enemies, that would turn out to be some W synergetic damage over time. After a day and a random goblin army, it finally began to blizzard. I was lucky enough to get everything I needed. Three frost cores and one ice feather. All I really needed now was to get more titanium. So, I threw my hot self back in the mines and got all I needed. Once my armor was crafted, I placed my molten armor in the piggy bank. I like to keep my past armor and weapons all in the same place for my final build of the game. The last thing I did for the day was defeat some stinky wyverns to get myself some souls of flight stiffers. And using them, I crafted the frost wing stiffers. Hell yeah. Hell because fire. Fire good. I didn’t really plan on using the hellfire for long. It was something to hold me over until I got my main weapon, the flamethrower. But I need souls of fright for that, which is why my next boss is Skeletron Prime. [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] [Music] [Music] What happened? Heat. Heat. [Music] [Applause] [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] Heat. [Music] Heat. Heat. Heat. [Music] [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] [Music] Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. [Music] [Music] [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] indeed you are a demon, Thundercry. More NPC housing. Thunder Cry need illegal gun parts. Wait for night. Thundercry buy illegal gun parts. Thundercry make flamethrower. [Music] You know, this reminds me of the time I set a pair of 3D glasses on fire. I specifically went for frost armor so I can inflict frostburn and fire on enemies. A cool little synergy. Now my only problem was gel. I figured that a few king slime kills would give me enough gel for the time being. So I mined some rubies, crafted the summons, and fought them all. And wouldn’t you know it, I had a mechanical eye. So I says to myself, I do. Thundercry, you have the weapon, you have the armor. Go for it. And you know, sometimes Thundercry is wrong. And I also fought the queen bee. I wanted a bit more firepower, so I got the Attorneyia crystal and challenged the old one’s army. I wanted to get the flame burst staffs. I know it won’t do much, but I think it’s still worth it to try it out. I got just shy of wave six and died a horrible, gruesome death. Awesome. So, I built some NPC houses to try and cure my depression. I was able to get some nice NPCs, too. And then I instantly summoned the bane of NPCs, the destroyer. If they die, they die. Let’s do this. Heat. [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] Heat. [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] Well, Well, at least we still have one friend, but it’s uh it’s the one I’ll never need. Burn, demolitionist. I hate you. Anyway, that’s two/3 of the mech bosses down. I’ll have to do a rematch with the twins sooner or later. In my spare time, I built this little gel farm. It’s super easy to run out of gel with the flamethrower, and the last thing I want to do is run out in the middle of a fight. I also dyed my armor green because I think it looks cool. I wanted a few more upgrades, so I journeyed into the caves to find the shimmer. I love character upgrades. All right, enough dillydallying. It’s time to take on those twins. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] [Music] And using all the mechanical souls, I crafted to the Avenger emblem. Since I have a melee ranged and summon weapon, it would come in real handy. Kind of like me with my homies. Then, because I’m cheap, I went to the shimmer and got better modifiers. I was watching a Terraria video the other day where they reforged this way and called it freeforging, but for the life of me, I cannot find who it was. So, if anyone knows the answer, please let me know down below so I can give them the proper credit. It seems like the game was angry that I couldn’t recall who coined that term because it sent a solar eclipse after me and a blood moon right after. And once that was over, I AFKed at my gel farm to refill my supplies. And then as I was traversing the corruption, I had to pause the game because this guy decided to poop inside. What a goober. I went to the corruption to craft some worm food to fight the eater of worlds underground so I could hopefully get some souls of night. So, I summoned it and nothing. Maybe it’s just coded not to drop any. I’m I’m not really sure, but that’s cringe. But since I was already here, I went in search of life fruit. Oh, look. Plantara’s bulb. But I’m nowhere near ready for her right now. So, I shouldn’t even attempt it, right? [Applause] [Music] [Music] Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] I couldn’t have said it better. GG. But there’s my plan to take on the frost moon to get my next weapon. I moved my hot ass to the dungeon and got some ectopplasm. Oh, and I didn’t mention it yet, but I actually used the spore sack from Plantara and it’s actually pretty good. It speeds up farming by so much and I definitely like it more than I did when I started. And as I was down here, I remembered I could get the inferno fork as well. It could be good for some more longer range enemies. So, I set my sights on it. And not long after, I was able to get my little grippers on that fork. [Music] M. So tasty. Daddy likes it. But anyway, I also killed Skeletron Prime again for some Souls of Fright in order to craft a few naughty presents. I hoisted up this naughty present like the naughty boyo I am. And I’ll spoil it right now. It did not go well. I died a lot. Got two razor pines and that’s about it. I knew it was only just a matter of time, so I tried again. By this time, I had all the ingredients to cook up the terrace bark boots, so I freeforged a bit. And once that was done, I tried the frost moon yet again. And with some delicate dodging and swapping of weapons, I was able to take down a Santa NK1 and got the drop I wanted. The elf melter. [Music] You know, this reminds me of the time I set a gingerbread house on fire. I wasn’t able to reforge it quite yet, as right after the frost moon ended, a solar eclipse took over my rump. So, I dealt with that. And then, honestly, once that was done, I forgot to reforge it and went straight to the old one’s army with my new flamethrower. The elf melter absolutely shredded the ogre, thus defeating the old one’s army. Then I farmed my gel again. Dude, I love gel. It tastes so good and it makes for a good lubricant if you’re freaky enough. I need some souls of night for uh something. So, I set up a statue farm in the underground corruption only to find out that it doesn’t even work for souls. So, I just ended up doing it the oldfashioned way. I needed them for keys of night to get my next weapon, the clinger staff. It’s super good for the old one’s army as the wall of flames knocks the goblins back a fair bit. All it took was 1% brain power to kill the corrupt mimic since it isn’t really hard. And there we go. And then I thought to my thundery self that I still have frost armor. The elf melter already inflicts frostburn, so I don’t really need the set anymore. So, I mined some blue mushroom trees and built a neat little mushroom biome. I think it actually looks kind of cool. I’ve never built one between trees like this. I’m a W builder. Gel farm. I also killed queen slime for the mount. [Music] Heat. Heat. Now, I was playing for about 18 hours at this point and still hadn’t found the jungle temple. So, I did as any nature-loving terrarian would do. I destroyed hundreds of blocks and slashed down any vine and enemy I could until none remained. I also mined for chlorify as I did so. And I also finally got the flame burst cane. [Music] A new day dawned as I broke the seal of the temple. I think we all know how dangerous the temple is, so I carefully went through and disarmed each and every trap. Disarm me, those who know. I didn’t want to doawle or get set up with an arena, so all I did was put a small platform and get wellfed. So, now let’s take on Gollum, also known as the hardest boss in the game. Heat. Heat. Heat [Music] up here. [Music] I fought him a few more times to try and get Pigsaw. And once I did, I used the rest of my summons to try and get the eye of the golem. Going to be honest though, I never did and gave up. And then finally, I got the flame burst staff. [Music] Next, I mine the rest of the chlorophy needed to finish making the shrew my armor. The set bonus makes me laugh because I never play with friends, so the stealth set bonus never really helps me at all. There wasn’t really anything else I could do to prepare for the cultist. So, I just said it and took on the cultist. Oh, [Music] heat, heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Oh, heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. [Applause] It was actually pretty easy. The attacks aren’t really hard to dodge and I was doing some decent damage. Not much longer to go now. So, I started with the solar pillar, then the vortex pillar, and I thought it would be worth it to get the firecracker. So, I killed the wall of flesh for that. [Applause] [Music] Next was the Nebula pillar, and finally, the Stardust Pillar fell last. I wasn’t super confident about the fight, but figured I’d try my best. So, I grabbed some potions and awaited Moon Lord’s arrival. I kind of saw that coming, but I was still a little disappointed. That being said, though, I did do a good chunk of damage. All I had to do was prepare. So this time I got a sky bridge ready and summoned him and lost. There really isn’t much else to do besides gear up and try again. So let’s take on the moon lord for real this time. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. [Music] Heat. Heat. Heat. Come on. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. [Music] Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Excuse me. [Music] Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] Heat. Heat. Heat. [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] Heat. Heat. Heat. [Music] Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. [Music] Heat. [Music] [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] Heat. Heat. Heat. And with that, I have become the supreme god of Terraria, the god of fire. Without much else to do, I began construction on a victory hall, showcasing my armor and weapons. Also, this has been the first time I’ve ever beaten the game without a cobalt shield or any of its upgrades, which is kind of crazy. But enough of my rambling. You’ve all sat through enough of my goofy ass voice, so let’s wrap this up. If you enjoyed the video, please make sure to like and comment below. It’s the easiest way for you all to tell me to keep it up. I hope you all enjoyed the video, and I’ll see you again next time. Peace. [Music]

  1. You give off if mistafeet and ghoul with gruel had a baby and said baby made terraria content energy and i am 100% here for it. Now for the criticisms well i only have one, id like for you to commentate over the boss fights. Idk about everyone else but i enjoy your voice and the game play itself is cool and all but it would be so much better with your hilarious remarks in my opinion anyways.

  2. Do you have something against arenas or something? I think this is the first terraria full playtrough video where someone doesn't build an arena for the majority of the fights.

  3. Challenge idea: pre-hardmode only.

    Rules: any items obtained during hardmode must be trashed as soon as possible.

    Thats it. Probably a bad idea but it's definitely an idea.
