Demon altars and skeletron

[Alfon]

Hi. I am a bit new to terraria but I am playing quite a lot recently. I have two doubts: One is about demon altars and another is about skeletron.

1. I read that if I destroy Demon altars, new type of ores will spawn in my world. But I am not in hardmode (never seen the ¿underworld? Don't remember.

Anyway, I have this doubt: Not being in the hardmode, should I break the demon altars? Will I get something?

2. And my second problem. This is about Skeletron. I fought him but I was defeated (slime rain started and I get a bit confused), when I died he dissapeared. But the old man didn't come back. Will I be able to fight him again or I have lost the opportunity to get into the dungeon? I can't get that doll to summon him because I think I need to go into the dungeon first...

I am sorry, this game is great but when you are just starting is a bit strange, confusing. Thanks in advance for your help.

Dang... that sucks. I hope your base is still intact.

For the record, though, no one can steal from your Piggy Bank--it's your personal stash, and its contents can only be accessed by that specific character. Same goes for the Safe.

As for the lost items, mind listing them? While precious metals can always be recovered through additional mining, I'm more curious if you lost stuff like rare weapons, armor, and accessories, and if they can be recovered through fishing, or at worst, scouring through a new world.

I think I got all my money from my piggy bank, so when I saw it empty I thought it could have been raided.

I had seven chests together with hundred of items, most of them were not sorted so I only can see a lot of empty spaces. I need to do some damage control. By now I am absolutely sure he stole all my bars (every type). About 90 lead, lots of gold (more than 50 I think, maybe 70) and all that kind of things.

I had some rare items I need to remember. Now I will create some sorting criteria so next time (if it could exist) I will now exactly what I am lacking.

You can name chests. When you open them there should be the option to rename the chest next to it's storage spaces. I normally name some for potions, metals, weapons, accsessories, and some other things.

Someone mentioned ranger was not fun.

1. Phantasm and Tsunami. Daedalus Stormbow for hitting stuff through walls. Get them. While you're at it, get the SDMG, Vortex Beater and Sniper Rifle. The bows will be your main source of damage, though.
2. Vortex armour with the helmet (can't remember if there are variations).
3. Vortex Booster, Ranger Emblem, Magic Quiver, Sniper Scope, Frostspark Boots. All of them must be Menacing for a total of +20% damage.
4. Luminite and Holy arrows, Ichor and Chlorophyte bullets.

Try SDMG with Ichor bullets to weaken things, then unload on them with the Phantasm/Luminite arrows. Sniper with Chlorophyte is homing death to weak enemies. Tsunami with Holy Arrows is also fun.

Stick with a dual hook, boost around the map, and grapple to quickly get back your hover. If you can maintain a constant stream of fire, phantasm+luminite is great; if not, tsunami+holy. Use guns as you see fit (guns bore me though).

Maybe the reason I don't like Ranger too much is that it normally seems one-dimensional. For the most part, you shoot things and they die. Yes, the same thing can be said for all characters. But guns just shoot in a straight line for the most part, not much else to it. I like the more unique ranged weapons, like the Electrosphere Launcher, Stynger, Dart Pistol/Rifle, Phantasm, etc. We need more variants in ranged weapons, but I get that it's easier said than done.

I said it was my opinion when I said it wasn't fun. Just a tip though, get the cosmic car key and you don't need the frostspark or booster because it has umlimited flight. The booster does go faster so I made one for travel but in battle swap them for more damage boosting acsessories.

It is indeed your opinion, and I respect that. Just trying to give tips in case you (or anyone) were just going "MACHINE GUN PEW PEW" ranger, which is so boring I can't even use it through one boss because I can't stand the tediosity. To each his own ^^

Can you attack from the cosmic car? Last time I actually played you couldn't attack from mounts, but I haven't used a mount since the update that added the new armour sets (only played to gear up and test out the new weapons).

Yup, you can now attack from mounts. Only one you can't attack from is the DCU I belive. Really nice because you get the free acsessory slot for damage like I said. Also the vortex armor doesn't have multiple helmets.

you can destroy demon altars pre-hardmode but u need the pwn hammer

I tried destroying a demon altar with the best hammer in the game during pre-hardmode and it still just hurt me.

Ahh. Yeah, I just opened up a world to check, there is only one armour piece for each set. Forgive me, it's been some time.

Attacking from mounts is neat though. I can finally shoot things from unicorn-back.

Yoyo playstyle since it,too me atleast,is much easier than a bow,gun or sword.These are all playstyles though,and you can pick whatever you want whenever you want.

You know gun, bow, and swords, aren't the only play styles, right? There are only 4, melee, magic, summoning, and ranged.

Now for terraria schooling. Today we have a overview of all classes from me:

Melee includes: YoYos, Swords, Flails, Hammars, Punching Golem things, Miscellaneous

Magic includes: Staffs, Wands, Bees! All the bees, A GIANT RAINBOW DEATH LAZER THAT DESTROY EVERYTHING, Explosive Purple Things, Fish That Shoot Pink Blasts of Energy, More Miscellaneous Stuff.

Ranger includes: Bows, Guns, Types of Ammo, Stuff.

Summoning includes: Slimes, Bees, Fire imps, Spooders, Pirates, THE TWINS!!!!!, Little Tiki Things, Ravens, Sharknados, Deadly Spheres, UFOs, Cells, and finally, A DRAGON!

Now for discriptions of each class:

Magic: Hardest to play out of all besides maybe summoning but it pays off as the highest dps class end game. End game mana isn't much of a problem because you regenerate it super fast but in the start it can be a problem. As a mage you need to get the wizard npc and you can buy potions from him to restore mana when you get low.

Summoning: In my opinion one of the most fun to play tied with magic. You can get mini versions of the twins to fight for you and you can summon a bunch all at once for a swarm. Swarms of twins just destroy plantera if you run circles around it. After plantera you have a bunch of options. Normally I get Deadly Sphere. Deadly spheres are really powerfull despite the stupid name. Then more end game stuff you don't need to know at this point in time.

Melee: Early game the warrior can get quite a few pretty good weapons, the amazon, a mighty yoyo crafted with 8 jungle spores, 8 rich mahogony wood, 8 stingers, and a vine. It can be devisating with a counterwieght. If one is lucky they can get an enchanted sword which when swung shoots a beam. It also swings really fast and does good damage.

If one is super lucky though, in the same area the enchanted sword is found one may find the blade of perfection, the ARKHALIS!!! Cue the dramatic lightning. I used this to destroy skeletron with 160 hp and crimtain armor with only hermese boots, a counter weight (Didn't have anny weight on the battle since I didn't use my yoyo.), and a band of regeneration. It does 22 damage but despite the tooltip only saying "very fast" it is about as fast as a minishark but it does more damage most of the time.

The arkhalis is super rare though so you probably won't get it. Since you won't get it I'd seggest the Night's Edge. To make it you need the Blade of Grass, Firey Greatsword, Mesuresma AKA blade I can't spell, and the Light's Bane or it's counter part. It does 42 damage per hit and has a decent attack speed to. It can be upgrade later in the game too.

Ranger: In my opinion it isn't fun to play. Some thing it's fun and I accept that they have an opinion but I find it boring.

This has been, terraria school.

That was my 914 hours of playing put into this.

Sorry if I was wrong,I only have 10 hrs on this game
