Preparing for Hardmode (Terraria 1.4 Beginner's Guide Series)

Ойындар

Not sure if you're ready to take the plunge into Hardmode? Check out the tips and ideas presented in this video, and you will be! In this episode of my Terraria version 1.4 - Beginner's Guide Series, I explain several activities you may want to complete in pre-Hardmode to make you fully prepared to handle the new challenges Hardmode brings to the table. Included are how to prepare for the Hardmode Crimson/Corruption - Hallow "V", as well as how to protect key areas from future biome spread and contamination, and much, much more!!
CONTENTS:
00:00 Introduction
00:52 Overview of Hardmode Changes
03:00 Protect Your Pylons from Biome Spread
07:17 Quarantine Evil Biome Areas
08:31 Find a Spider Cavern
09:56 Prepare Extra NPC Housing & Hardmode NPC Arrangement
10:40 Make Some Hellevators
12:21 Mark the Dungeon's Biome Chests
13:10 Farm the Nazar
13:49 Pre-Hardmode Combo Crafts
14:36 Stockpile Potion Ingredients
15:03 Make a Life Fruit & Plantera Arena
16:38 Make a Cavern Level Fighting Arena
18:50 Outro
Regarding the NPC arrangement shown at 10:30 - there are lots of alternative ways to arrange your NPCs to, for example, get the best average happiness across all your NPCs. I, however, prefer to get a few key NPCs to their max happiness, and honestly don't worry about the happiness of other NPCs that I generally don't buy from anyways. This arrangement gets max happiness for the Goblin Tinkerer (easily the most expensive NPC in the game) for the best discount on his reforging service. The Angler also gets max happiness in order to boost chances of getting good rewards from him.
Most of the other NPCs are also generally pretty happy, though not all will be happy enough to sell the pylons at the listed locations. And if you are planning a big purchase from a specific NPC, you can always re-arrange them to make the purchase, then set them back.
The other benefit of this arrangement is that by having at least 3 NPCs at each location, it will create a village that suppresses mob spawning in the area, and also makes it easier to re-locate NPCs and still be able to use the pylon. Add in a few pets, and you'll be all set!

    Spider caverns are very easy to find by using Dangersense potions, since they outline spiderwebs in red.

    Honestly, it can be much more work trying to seek out all corruption and purify the world if it spreads too much. It depends really on whether you’re planning on keeping your world of just using it for resources. At the very least you want to protect your jungle, you need it for items and progression. Though it’s almost been two weeks now so you’re probably past this point now.

    thank you for the detailed guide. i wish terraria included a toggle for turning off evil biome spread in all game modes. in 1.4, it's only an option in jorney mode. there's an "evil begone" mode in tmodloader that stops evil biome spread, but that only works for the 1.3 versions. i like to take my sweet time playing pre-HM, so by time i'm ready to kill the WoF, my map is already obliterated by corruption. and of course it gets exponentially worse in HM. of course some players suggest "just mine out a protective border", but that is absurdly tedious, destroys the map, and a single unmined block or or broken alter can undo all your work. if i've spent dozens of hours building and progressing in my map, i shouldn't have to spend dozens more maintaining evil biome spread.

    Wait - I'm confused. How is your map "obliterated by corruption" in pre-Hardmode? The only thing that spreads is surface level dirt - stone, ice, and sand types of blocks don't get infected, and evil grass is easily stopped with a single sunflower!

    Another recommendation is to create a burner world for Hardmode, it'll make certain things much easier to do. I'm currently on my main world, which I've left in pre-hardmode, and a Hardmode world that I use to export crafting materials and crafting stations, so I can summon all of the mechanical bosses in as short a time as possible and then fight planters as quickly as possible, as defeating planters slows down evil biome spread by 50% of its base Hardmode rate

Now I’m running around this burner world collecting as much stuff as I can to prepare my main world. It’s nice seeing the evil spread wildly and not have to worry about doing anything about it while I collect stuff. I think the first thing I’m gonna acquire from the burner world is a full set of Titanium armor and pickaxe. EDIT: I… Ended up beating the game on my burner world. Main world has my base village and all my stuff but it’s still pre hard mode. Lol

For example, the dungeon doesn't actually get its hard-mode enemies until after Plantera is defeated, so if you wanted to farm the Nazar and have a REALLY easy time killing everything, you can do that before Plantera!

    I'm low-key thinking about taking my goodies to a new world and starting over there because quite frankly, I wasn't ready. Everything is spreading, the biomes are aggressively mixing with each other, and it's a problem ... Edit: we went into hardmode on my server after thorough preparation, and I'm totally dead inside because for the first time--I've never seen it do this before --it's spreading from hidden patches of crimson walls. I got rid of the grass, got rid of the crinstone, and it just keeps spreading... So I did exactly what I never wanted to do: I dug millions of horrible, unattractive tunnels everywhere before realizing it wasn't going to stop the spread, so my new idea is to move the NPCs higher (not too high so wyverns can't harass them and me) and create artificial biomes in bubbles, dig very far out, mine up all the walls (if I have a friend or two helping with the walls that would be fantastic), and once it's deep enough so it won't matter, I might put the dirt and other various biome blocks back and protect it with a layer of wood. The idea of getting rid of my world I worked so damn hard on is just.... Not happening. Absolutely not. I literally refuse. Then again we start on a medium world and it wouldn't suck so bad to go to a large one and prep better this time... Hmm...

    I did most of the stuff you suggested unconsciously because I knew it would be helpful later. There’s two things that flew under my radar though, and it’s that damn builder and fishing accessories. I have never made those ever in all my years of playing, and I’m about to change that.

    They come in rather handy!

    Something I've done during past playthroughs was to line sufficiently-widened trenches with rope; keeps plants from spreading their biomes across, and helps make traversing the areas near the trenches easier.

    Ooooooh that's a great idea! And compared to putting blocks along the walls, dropping ropes down is super convenient and fast!!

    I tried avoiding guide videos for my first proper playthrough because I wanted to experience it on my own, the problem was I got lucky and got pretty good loot and weapons that I can breeze trough pre-hardmode boss easily not realising I was severely underpowered and unprepared for hardmode, now almost half my npc is ded without places to respawn lol and I died a lot as well. I'm eager to try again and following your guide, thanks!

    Yeah, I can't even imagine trying to go through this game as a new player without any guides or information from outside the game. Would be hella difficult, to say the least!!
