Terraria Master Mode, but I must ALWAYS touch grass…

if at any moment my character is not touching a block of grass, i die — instantly

any type of grass is fine (see wiki), and any angle (floor, side, ceiling, etc.), but nothing else

also, master mode

document with stuff:
– custom challenge mod used (i wrote it) and specific rules
– detailed music credits
– quality of life mods (most were unused/disabled in the earlygame, to keep the suffering fresh)

more algo-friendly prose: our challenge is to beat terraria in master mode with an extra rule: my character must always be touching grass, or i immediately die. with this rule, making any amount of progress is incredibly hard, and the game plays out vastly differently compared to normal, requiring various clever strategies, glitches, and more to survive and kill bosses.

  1. You do realize you could have replaced your Shield of Cthulhu with Master Ninja Gear to get a better dash and not have to build your Moon Lord arena upside down, right?

  2. im curious if you considered trying to find a marble biome to get hoplite armour as a stepping stone to help with skeletron (set bonus gives knockback immunity)
