I Refuse To Play Terraria

​"I understand where he is coming from. I played the game blind and I finished the Wall of Flesh after three weeks.

In my opinion you should follow the achievements and you will be okay.' Back in the day wen ocram was the final boos, there was no achievement tab on ps4 version or anything of that sort. I had the guide, and that was about it; he just gave me hints.
​Speaking of which, regarding the guide that the mentioned they are talking about a NPC that spawns next to you when you open the world Conor."

I feel like the best way to experience terraria as a first timer is to play with a friend who has already played before. They already know the stuff so you don’t have to constantly be on the wiki and be confused about how to progress. It would make for a great collab if you played with a Terraria YouTuber like Chippy or even promoted a smaller streamer like Yardis or something. I get that the game is hard and confusing at first but man I would love to see Connor play it.

Should play Factorio considering how much he liked Satisfactory

i've seen quite a few playthroughs of first time players who finish terraria using only the guide and minimal help from chat. it's definitely possible to play and beat without the wiki

i play terraria with my little sister and my mum, and yes we have absolutely no idea what happens, but by using the suggested achievements and looking at the wiki acationally it has worked fine until now(right before wall of flesh)

You simply do not need the wiki to beat the game. You just don't. Terraria's entire INTENTIONAL game design is based around those first time experiences. Seeing a monster for the first time, seeing a boss for the first time. Discovering new recipes through the character whose sole purpose is to be your GUIDE. Terraria wouldn't be so acclaimed if half your time was spent browsing a wiki. Try the game for yourself… Please.

#1 – Cannot recommend playing your first time with a friend/friends. Terraria and basically all games of this genre are 10x more fun with friends. It's like going from playing an MMO solo to playing with friends.
#2 – If you don't want to (I completely respect it) then try the game out on "classic" or at most "expert" which is more like a "hard" difficulty in other games. Really though I think classic is perfect and I'd recommend all new Terraria players to play on classic. For an experienced player it's not challenging at all but for a new player you should focus on just having fun and making the game as open to having fun moments rather than punishing/painful ones. As much as I love mastermode and cannot play on expert nowadays I usually play on expert when I do playthroughs with friends just because most of them just don't want to grind that hard at a game which I'm cool with.
#3 – If Terraria is still super daunting for you but you want to try it download it, install "tmodloader" which is the dev-supported mod launcher that comes bundled with the game, and get these mods: recipe browser, boss checklist and magic storage. The last one is more a nice thing to have, basically just centralizes all of your crafting and storage so you don't have to figure out what you're crafting and then sort through a million chests for all the ingredients. Boss checklist will tell you a list of all the bosses and even has a "progression" mode where it will only show you the next boss in order and the rest will be "????" aka hidden. Recipe browser legit fixes damn near every issue a new player will ever have with Terraria along side with Boss checklist. You just chuck any item into the top left box and it'll tell you everything that item can build into. How about if you want to know where to get a material/item? you can search the (i believe) item tab at the top and on the right side it'll show you what monsters drop that item. This mod also will tell you what crafting benches are needed to make the thing.

i adore terraria and i completely agree its a wiki game. it would've taken me easily a year to beat the game without a wiki.
a quick edit. there's a pretty easy to follow progression graph in the wiki that tells u in what order to do things. that's genuinely super useful for anyone new to terraria.

you really don't need the wiki
you can totaly beat it with just ingame information, and natural progression with a bit of trial and error, sure if you wanna rush the game yeah the wiki will be your best friend but for a normal playthrough you barely need it to beat the game, as it mostly tells you what you need to know, and what you have to figure out yourself, the downside is that certain things just straight up won't spawn a lot in general.

Please don't skip out on terraria because of this misconception that you NEED the wiki!!! Also wait for the new terraria update 😉

I think you don't really need Wiki to beat Terraria on your own, but that takes a lot of exploration and fucking around. It's fine to have a 400 hour playthrough if you're not a streamer, but I think what Connor is getting at, is that he needs to keep up a decent pace because he's a streamer and nobody would watch him and Mouse fumbling around for 100 hours until they naturally stumble on to the cryptic ways to progress. For streaming and having decent pace of progress you absolutely need Wiki, for a person doing a normal playthrough when you have all the time in the world, yeah, you don't need Wiki. I'm a huge fan of Terraria but I get what his position is on this, makes sense.

bro should play insaniquarium instead

I wish he plays Hollow Knight

Bro is making excuses, I finished terraria on mobile, get good bozo

you can beat terraria easily just using the guide npc you don't need the wiki
