  1. 21:05 yea thats fax. but if u do farm him begore planterra and golem u have set urself up for ez ez endgame gear and the rest will be a breeze, normally that wouldnt be fun for the series but you go for unique ways to kill the next bosses anyways so it doesnt really matter. like i said in another comment. ichor him to half his dmg so u do twice the dmg cus he already has x2 armor itll give u wayyy more time for the third phase prep. love the videos bro thanks for the years of great content for us

  2. idk if he figured out how to kill the fishron using the tunnel but why didnt he just use the gravitational potion which flips ur character to fall the other way?

  3. As a kid my sister and I fought duke fishron with the asphalt bridge and because we couldnt out maneuver him with our gear, we would use an asphalt bridge across the entire world to kill him. It worked surprisingly well and we didnt learn what we did until we went back years later

  4. So I will say, it's a lot easier and safer when using rails for bosses in most situations to use teleporters instead of turning around (not always, but fairly often, especially for very fast bosses or bosses who's attack patterns make turning hard)

    Also teleporters if properly set up, especially for a teleporting boss like the dukes third phase using pressure plates would let you effectively fall indefinitely. (I'm 90% sure you can actuate teleporters and even if you can't you can set up an actuating hoik to push yourself down through the teleporters at the top automatically (without using the timer on the hoik on the teleporters or you'd just teleport back and forth between the bottom and top, but with pressure plates triggering the bottom and hoiks to push you through the top teleporters It should work) Though all that is unneeded if you can actuate teleporters.

    Also your minecart is not breaking those homing "bubbles", those spawn the razorblade typhoons (the tornados) but after hitting you they take a while to spawn so you hit them on the way back. In his second phase they just hit blocks and don't home in, but in his third phase the tornados are deadlier, their positioning can be anywhere, and the spawn projectile (the razorblade) homes in on you. But it does no damage on it's own, hence why you thought your cart was breaking them.

    Lastly, I don't fight him with chlorophyte bullets (anymore), I usually fight him before any other hardmode bosses and occasionally without any hardmode gear at all and then just sweep every boss up to the moon lord.

  5. Any creature in the game needs a 2-wide 3-tall gap to spawn – even if they are small creatures like the Truffle worms. Platforms do also count against that 'space' they have to spawn, even if they can walk through them. (But it's very convenient to make quick and spawn-safe tunnels through the Jungle to have plantera bulbs and life fruit to spawn if you simply line the top of the tunnel with platforms). I really like your truffle farm setup though, a simple filter is a nice and elegant solution

    Duke used to have an easy cheese you could do, where you simply used 2 teleporters, that's it. You teleport outside the beach-biome, enraging Duke, and then teleport back inside, resetting his entire AI, where he wouldn't do any tornadoes. And you could easily kill him as soon as you unlocked teleporters (which used to be after the first mech boss), a Megashark, and a bit of patience. From what I know, that no longer works

    Another strategy that I saw MrSephy do first was fight Duke normally for phases 1 and 2, and then have an infinite-fall teleporter setup for phase 3. As long as you keep falling, you reliably dodge him. You can actuate Teleporters to make them intangible, and if you're in a minecart, you fall through the platform the teleporter can be placed on top of. Then you also actuate the bottom teleporter, set a button next to it to activate it. Lastly, you use a bed-teleport to start up the entire system. If you use the mirror or a Recall Potion while in a minecart, you teleport to your bed with 0 horizontal momentum. You can place your bed on top of a platform, above the teleporter setup, where you'll simply fall into the infinite falling-loop.

    You basically rediscovered this falling method, with a finite world – which still works, so that's awesome o/ I'd argue the Rainbow Gun tech discovery was worth it alonge, it's awesome to see that weapon get used

    Seeing you explore ideas is intriguing to watch, thank you for sharing your passion 🙂

  6. Yoooo slow down with boss rush , mebay try to build something big and cool?(btw now you have access to echo coating so you can paint your "moving" lake)
