  1. Hi, I've no-hit the entire game in legendary before, and every time i play pre hardmode, I use the bundle of balloons and the master frog gear. The instant directional changes they offer is much better than the sluggish rocket boots in general. The grapple hook kinda trumps anything already, but paired with these accessories kinda makes you unstoppable

  2. still waiting for a video of this format from any terraria channel ever that actually contains underrated items and an unintuitive use case for each item, not a few popular items that sometimes are worse than the alternatives

  3. Honestly, the thing that kills the amphibian boots for me… is the auto jump.

    If I could use them without forced auto jump, they'd probably be a mainstay. But auto jump messes up my muscle memory so much that it becomes actively detrimental to use the amphibian boots. I'd even take an empty slot over them!

  4. About the torches vs flaregun though. You say you can discover the entire room with it, but I don't see it as effective at all.
    First of all, it costs resources to be able to shoot the gun. (Sure torches are a resource too, but they drop so often from zombies, I got multiple thousands)
    Second, you need a lot of those bullets to light the 1 open, not even all that big, area.
    And most importantly: You said it's more revealing than torches, unles you place them around like a little "goon". This is fundamentally wrong in at least 2 ways. It's not more revealing, it's just as revealing, besides maybe underwater. AND, torches stay forever, the flares definitely do not. Wasn't there also something with it increasing luck or was that changed?
    Ether way, even without the luck. Torches are fundamentally better, it's not like you don't still have to go around the room anyway. Just get used to placing torches, it's easy af and you can always come and go as you please without having to relight the area.

  5. I use flare gun to apply On Fire! during boss fights, when my main weapon doesn't have it. Only relevant for Eye, King Slime, and maybe Eater but it's really nice for those!! Especially Eater, since they pierce.

  6. On the topic of the sentry, people also MASSIVELY over look the old ones army senties, particularly the electric one. When fighting the eater of worlds, if you equip a red scarf, and use the table, you can place 3 of these on the ground under your arena. I timed it, and it can shave an entire minute and a half off of your run (on master, probably more on easier difficulties), because each segment gets caught in the damage per damage tick. Pair that with a star fury (the stars go through blocks, blocks prevent spit, and the sword swing breaks spit projectiles that are coming your way), you can cheese the boss EASILY.
