Руководство по хардмоду в террарии

НЕ ПУТАЙТЕ С ХАРДКОРОМ!

Хардмод (Hardmode) — режим, появившийся с версии 1.1, в который переходит мир после победы над Стеной плоти. При этом появляется надпись «Древние духи света и тьмы были освобождены» («The ancient spirits of light and dark have been released«). В хардмоде появляется много нового контента и возможностей, но и игра становится гораздо сложнее и опаснее.

При переходе в хардмод-режим мир терпит следующие изменения:

• Появляется возможность разрушать демонические/кровавые алтари с помощью нагибатора (pwmhammer) или молотов, идущих после него, что будет добавлять в мир новые руды. Также, сломав алтарь, существует 66% шанс того, что один случайный каменный блок будет превращён в эбонит/кримонит.
• Появляются новые биомы — Освящение, Подземное освящение и подземное Искажение/подземный Багрянец. Искажение и Багрянец теперь будут распространяться значительно быстрее, захватывая камень, лёд и песок, превращая их в эбонит/кримонит, фиолетовый лёд/красный лёд и эбонитовый песок/кровавый песок соответственно. Распространение нельзя будет остановить с помощью подсолнуха. Все типы заражения будут распространяются и под землёй.
• Помимо увеличения характеристик у пре-хардмодных мобов. появляются совершенно новые и более сложные мобы.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________

При переходе в режим хардмод мир нельзя будет вернуть в обычный режим.

Хардмод сильно изменит и усложнит игру, так что трижды подумайте перед тем, как бросать куклу вуду гида в лаву или убивать над ней демона вуду.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________

Заражение

Сразу после перехода в хардмод можно лишится базы, так как искажение или багрянец увеличатся в 2-3 раза. Также скорость их распространения увеличилась в 2 раза. Если вы спуститесь в пещеру то не удивляйтесь если вас там будет ждать искажение, багрянец или освящение.В подземных заражениях можно получить души света или тьмы с мобов. Если вы играете на более старых версия (до 1.4) эти души можно фармить королём слизней. В подземном освящении можно найти желатиновый кристалл.

Hardmode is a game advancement that is triggered in a world when the Wall of Flesh is defeated for the first time. The change is permanent (unless using third-party tools, ignored in this guide).

The beginning of Hardmode is considered to be one of the hardest parts of the game, so this guide will hopefully make it easier for a new player.

Preparations[]

One of the things players should prepare for is the spread of the Hallow and Corruption/Crimson. As soon as Hardmode starts, two diagonal strips of Hallow and Corruption/Crimson will generate in a V-shape, and the two biomes start to slowly consume the world.

On  Old-gen console version,  Windows Phone version,  Old Chinese version, Nintendo  version,  tModLoader version, and  tModLoader 1.3-Legacy version, the main threat of the infection is its effects on the Jungle. Mud Blocks can be affected by Corruption/Crimson (but not Hallow), and they will be permanently turned into regular Dirt Blocks. Although it takes an extremely long time for it to consume a large part of it, the damage is very hard to repair as it requires the player to manually replace all the Dirt for Mud. A large, 3 block wide tunnel filled with incorruptible blocks will protect the biome. Note that smashing a Demon Altar/Crimson Altar on these versions has a chance to corrupt or hallow a random block on the map, which could be inside of the Jungle.

The player will need the best gear available in Pre-Hardmode if they want to survive for longer before obtaining better items.

• Melee users should use Molten armor and weapons like Night’s Edge, Dark Lance, Sunfury or Cascade.
• Ranged users benefit from the Necro armor. The best weapons available for them are the Quad-Barrel Shotgun or Molten Fury. The Star Cannon is also powerful.
• For magic users, Jungle armor or the Wizard set are the best available, with weapons like the Flamelash, Water Bolt or Demon Scythe.
• A Summoner’s best choices are the Bee armor or Obsidian Armor with the Imp Staff and the Spinal Tap.
• All classes should also bring accessories like the Terraspark Boots or Amphibian Boots, and one of the Emblems dropped by the Wall of Flesh. If in Expert or Master mode, bring a Shield of Cthulhu and a Worm Scarf/Brain of Confusion ()
• Additionally, a Molten Pickaxe (or, on the  Windows Phone version,  Old Chinese version, Nintendo  version, and  tModLoader 1.3-Legacy version, a Reaver Shark, obtained from fishing in the ocean) is required to mine Cobalt or Palladium ore.

Rare drops like the Black Lens, Nazar or Bezoar are easier to get without the stronger enemies of Hardmode.

A house in the Jungle should be made for the Witch Doctor, as he will sell Leaf Wings when he is in the biome at night. A King Statue can also be used to simply teleport him to the Jungle.

The player should make a Surface Glowing Mushroom biome with a house for Truffle. Because the enemies there are significantly stronger in Hardmode, it is advised that one create the biome and town pre-hardmode.

A Hellevator should also be built, as it’s an effective way to access any depth at any time, which will save a lot of time when mining the new ores and farming for rare drops.

The First Steps[]

The first thing to do in Hardmode is to go to the natural Corruption/Crimson Biome and start smashing Altars.

Smashing every set of three after this point will cyclically generate the same ore, but much less than the last, so smashing 9 to 12 will be more than enough.

It’s difficult to survive in this new environment, since the new enemies will quickly overwhelm players equipped with even the best Pre-hardmode gear. Because of this, it’s better to look for a new weapon before going down into the Caverns to mine the new ores.

The easiest way to obtain Hardmode ore is mining them on the ceiling of the Underworld, as the Underworld won’t get any new difficult enemies immediately upon entering hardmode.

A much more time-consuming way to obtain Hardmode ore is from fishing crates. While much slower than other methods, this does not require the player to smash any altars, which can help keep quarantined areas of the map safe from the new randomly-placed Hallow or Corruption/Crimson block that spawns when smashing each one.

There are many different choices for every class:

• Melee users can get an Amarok very early on, although alternatives such as the craftable Chik will suffice until they do. The Amarok has a low chance to be dropped by any enemy in the Snow Biome, so with a quick farm they can easily (if perhaps not quickly) obtain it. The Swords or Spears made from ores can be quickly obtained and they will get the job done until better weapons (e.g. a Phasesaber) are acquired. The Dao of Pow is a good flail, reasonably easy to craft, and the only option of flail for a while.
• Ranged users can buy a Shotgun from the Arms Dealer as soon as Hardmode starts, which can then be upgraded to the Onyx Blaster , using the drops from the corrupted/crimson desert and underground crimson or corruption. The Clockwork Assault Rifle is also very strong and should definitely be used if the Wall of Flesh dropped it. A Cobalt or Palladium Repeater also gets the job done until better options (e.g. higher-tier-ore repeaters, Shadowflame Bow, or Daedalus Stormbow) are acquired.
  • Ranged users have many more ammo options in Hardmode, several of which are available right away with a little exploration or farming, although obtaining a better weapon is a higher priority than getting better ammunition. Crystal Bullets, Cursed Bullets (in Corruption worlds), and Ichor Bullets (in Crimson worlds) are interesting options that require very few special crafting ingredients, while Exploding Bullets can be crafted entirely from purchased ingredients. Likewise, Holy Arrows, Cursed Arrows (in Corruption Worlds), and Ichor Arrows (in Crimson worlds) are special arrows which require few unusual ingredients. However, on , the dryad can sell the opposite evil seeds in a graveyard, allowing the use of Ichor and Cursed Flames, regardless of the world’s evil.
• A Magic user can quickly farm for the Sky Fracture, a weapon that is very useful even after Plantera is defeated. They can also fish for a Crystal Serpent, but it can take longer to obtain. The Meteor Staff is even easier to craft, however it is hard to use it underground. The Laser Rifle, if it dropped from the Wall of Flesh, will also be highly useful initially.
  • Other early-Hardmode options that should be high priorities are the Crystal Storm (which has high DPS for early-Hardmode crowd control), the Cursed Flames (in Corruption worlds, which has high-damage piercing projectiles that inflict a high-DPS debuff), and the Golden Shower (in Crimson worlds, which deals modest damage but inflicts an extremely useful, defense-lowering debuff which few enemies — not even the Moon Lord — are immune to).
    • These will require first locating the Wizard NPC, which is a critical priority for magic users.
  • Also be on the lookout for an abundance of enemy-dropped weapons, most crucially the Frost Staff (a good starting weapon), Poison Staff (an upgradeable magic shotgun), and Nimbus Rod (a powerful, upgraded Crimson Rod).
  • The above weapons will help magic-using players be able to eventually obtain more powerful early-Hardmode weapons, such as the Shadowflame Hex Doll, the Life Drain, and the Spirit Flame.
• A Summoner will have to get the Spider Staff and the Queen Spider Staff. This is a problem because the Black Recluses can very easily kill a player in 3 to 4 hits. Since they can’t go through blocks, it is recommended to farm the Spider Fangs inside of a «box» while the minions kill the spiders from the outside. Make sure to have your Magic Mirror (or, preferably, Cell Phone) ready in case a Giant Worm or another enemy spawns. Be sure to utilize any other, more easily-obtainable weapons for other classes to defend yourself as needed. Wall of Flesh drops can also be highly useful, especially if it dropped the Firecracker; if it didn’t, you may consider farming for it.

With these new weapons and a couple Mining and Spelunker Potions, getting the Hardmode ores will be a much easier task.

Before bosses[]

The Mechanical Bosses can be very hard to kill for a new player, so using the best weapons, armors and accessories is advised. If you are up to it, Queen Slime can be fought to get better gear (Such as the Blade Staff ()) and/or practice fighting.

Palladium and Titanium armors are very good with their defensive set bonuses, while Adamantite and Orichalcum armors are better for those looking for the maximum DPS. It is better to skip Cobalt and Mythril armor, as they don’t have very good stats or a special set bonus to make up for it. There is also Frost and Forbidden armor, but they should only be used if the player wishes to mix different damage types, as they aren’t strong enough by themselves. Another good armor set for all classes is the Crystal Assassin Armor, dropped by Queen Slime.

If the player hasn’t obtained them already, Wings are essential for the fights, as it’s hard to dodge their attacks without them. The best ones available are the Frost Wings, but the Leaf Wings are easier to obtain at the cost of some speed.

An Emblem of the player’s class is also important, as well as defensive and mobility accessories like the Cross Necklace, Philosopher’s Stone, Ankh or Obsidian Shield, and Frog Leg. Having good modifiers like Lucky, Menacing or Warding is also very important for the battles.

Now that the player is well equipped, the only thing left to do is to make a good arena, since having one will make the bosses much easier to fight.
Two to three rows of platforms will be enough space to move around. Additionally:
This content is transcluded from Guide:Practical tips § Combat.

• For nocturnal bosses, starting the battle just after the sun sets (7:30 PM) will provide the maximum amount of time to defeat the boss. In Hardmode, the Moon Charm and/or Moon Stone and their upgrades are also useful at night.
• Boss battles can be won or lost before the battle ever starts. Choose your equipment and have it ready; find and/or make potions and placed buffs; use the highest-tier food you have available; set up an arena appropriate to the boss; learn the strategies for the boss you’re facing.
• Prepare your Boss-fighting arena with adequate lighting, Campfires and Heart Lanterns for health regeneration, and Stars in Bottles for mana regeneration if you use magic. Bast Statues will provide a significant defensive boost. Garden Gnomes and (if underground) proper torch placement will reduce damage taken and increase damage dealt due to the luck. Note Torch God’s Favor helps with this. Honey pools can also be used for extra health regeneration.
• Sunflowers provide the Happy! buff to players within a 50-tile radius, which grants a +10% movement speed bonus and 17% reduction in enemy spawn rate.
• Always carry around a stack of the highest-tier healing potion available, as relying only on natural Health Regeneration is not a good idea. Depending on the game stage, this can include items such as Mushrooms or Honeyfins. On the  PC,  Console,  Mobile, and  tModLoader versions, Restoration Potions are healing potions with a shorter cooldown.
• It is suggested to build houses for the Dryad and the Nurse NPCs in your arena. The former casts the Dryad’s Blessing buff, which increases your defense and provides you with a thorns-like effect, while the latter can heal and remove debuffs instantly, at the cost of some coins.
• Bosses are displayed on the Minimap: Follow the boss’s icon to track it when you’re struggling to find it. You can identify the boss icons by checking their respective wiki pages.
• Once you have freed the Mechanic in the Dungeon, you can use Wire to enhance your arena with Traps and helpful Heart and Star Statues. The former helps to damage the enemies, though be careful to set them up correctly in order not to hurt yourself during the battle. The latter will spawn heart and star pickups, respectively. Connect these devices to timers.
• It may be useful to summon and kill the Eye of Cthulhu or King Slime before summoning any harder boss in order to spawn an extra one-use pool of Hearts. Note that this will prevent any Heart Statues from spawning new Hearts.
• Remember to use the Sharpening Station, Ammo Box, Crystal Ball, Bewitching Table, and Slice of Cake before you go to explore or battle bosses/invasions. These will give boosts that are useful to take, with the first four being class-specific. They give Sharpened, Ammo Box, Clairvoyance, Bewitched, and Sugar Rush, respectively.

Smashing Altars

Starting Hardmode is very difficult: you’re underequipped and almost everything is stronger than you. You will have to return underground in search of ores to get some decent gear. But first, you’ll need to make a detour because none of that new ore actually exists yet. You’ll have to smash a few Altars with the Pwnhammer to make it appear. Every time you destroy an Altar, ore will be generated in various places underground, spawning more densely at lower depths.

• The first altar destroyed will spawn Cobalt / Palladium.
• The second altar destroyed will spawn Mythril / Orichalcum.
• The third altar destroyed will spawn Adamantite / Titanium.

The pattern will repeat with additional altars destroyed, spawning more Cobalt or Palladium, then more Mythril or Orichalcum, then more Adamantite or Titanium. There’s diminishing returns on this: after you’ve smashed your first three altars, generating that amount of ore again requires you to smash a further nine (12 total), then 21 (33 total).

Also note, however, that each altar destroyed may spawn a new block of Ebon/Crimstone, or Pearlstone somewhere in the world, causing the respective biomes to spread from another location.

On your way to smash altars, you may find yourself passing through some of these biomes:

Mining Hardmode Ores

Once enough ore has been spawned, the player should begin mining Cobalt or Palladium with a Molten Pickaxe. The other ores cannot be mined. Proceed with extreme caution: the most dangerous biomes in Hardmode are found underground. If the player created a Hellevator, they should use it to access the lower layers quickly. Hardmode ores are more abundant deeper underground.

It can be very difficult to survive long enough in Hardmode biomes to mine enough ore. If the player finds they are having difficulty mining, they should consider looking for ores in the ceiling of the Underworld. This biome has the same mobs as it did pre-Hardmode, making it considerably safer than almost anywhere else in the world.

Aim to upgrade to a Cobalt Drill or Palladium Drill (or their pickaxe equivalents) as quickly as possible. The Cobalt Drill or Pickaxe and its counterpart can mine Mythril/Orichalcum. The first Mythril/Orichalcum ores mined should be used to craft a Mythril/Orichalcum Anvil and then a Mythril Drill (or their Orichalcum counterparts). The Mythril Drill and Pickaxe (and their Orichalcum counterparts) can mine Adamantite/Titanium. The first 30 Adamantite/Titanium ore mined should be used to create an Adamantite Forge or Titanium Forge. Upgrading to an Adamantite Drill or Titanium Drill isn’t crucial, as it does not grant access to any new ores.

Be mindful when opening chests. A seemingly innocuous treasure chest may be a Mimic posing as a chest. Mimics will chase the player when they approach or when attacked. A good approach is to shoot any chests with a ranged weapon before opening them. This will cause any Mimics to break their ruse and attack. Mimics can drop items that are incredibly useful in hardmode, and also always drop several gold coins.

Use any leftover ore to upgrade armor, then weapons, and lastly tools. Keep mining until enough Adamantite or Titanium is collected to craft a full set of armor and any weapons or tools the player may want.

The Goblin Army (Hardmode)

The Pirate Invasion

The Pirate Invasion can generally be difficult in early Hardmode, so it is best if the player is prepared in case one arrives. When a Pirate Invasion spawns or is summoned using a Pirate Map, a message will appear saying «Pirates are approaching from the (East/West)!»

When the Pirates’ initial wave reaches the spawn, their arrival is announced with «The Pirates have arrived!»

For more information, see Pirate Invasion for more info and tips.

The Great Run-up

Whilst you’re trying to find enough ore to make better gear, it’s highly recommended that you make the following other preparations in the run-up to the mech bosses:

• Make sure you have a home for the Wizard. Like the Goblin Tinkerer and Stylist, he can be found tied up underground. This NPC is mandatory for magic users, as he sells Greater Mana Potions and crafting ingredients used to craft some very powerful spells.
• Make sure you have a full set of buff potions and at least a stack of Greater Healing Potions or Honeyfin. The mech bosses’ damaging attacks will eat away at your health very quickly, so acquiring better potions is recommended.

Collecting Souls

Collecting souls is the last task the player should complete before fighting the Mechanical bosses. There are three types of souls dropped by normal monsters: Soul of Light, Soul of Night, and Soul of Flight. Souls of Light can be obtained from any monster found in the Underground Hallow, Souls of Night can be obtained from any monster found in the Underground Corruption or Crimson, and lastly, Souls of Flight can be obtained from Wyverns. The order in which the player obtains these souls does not matter. However, it can be advantageous to gather Souls of Flight first, as Wings are very useful when navigating the Underground Hallow or Underground Corruption.

Soul of Flight

Wyverns can be found at very high altitudes, at around the same level as Floating Islands. Look for Wyverns on Floating Islands, as it is much easier to fight them this way.

Soul of Light

Souls of Light can be found by killing enemies in the Underground Hallow. Underworld Enemies spawned below the Underground Hallow will also drop Souls. Try to gather crystal shards while looking for souls. Try to gather at least 50 souls, although more is better. If the Hallow in your world went through a Spider Nest, you can also farm the spiders, taking advantage of their fast spawn rate.

Soul of Night

Souls of Night can be found by killing enemies in the Underground Corruption and Crimson. Many of the same rules apply within these biomes.

Miscellaneous Items

There are a few other important items not mentioned above:

• Pixies from the surface Hallow will drop Pixie Dust, which is needed to make Greater Healing Potions, or combined with Unicorn Horns to make Holy Arrows.
• Mummies from the Corrupt or Crimson Desert will drop Dark Shards; Mummies from the Hallowed Desert will drop Light Shards. Collect these to craft the Dao of Pow.
• Biome Keys have an extremely rare drop from enemies in the six main biomes (Hallow, Corruption, Crimson, Jungle, Desert, and Snow). These can be used to open the Biome Chests in the Dungeon once that Plantera has been defeated (see below), which contain extremely powerful items.
• Mimics can appear in just about any biome. Look for Mimics using Hunter Potions or a Lifeform Analyzer and kill them until you get a Philosopher’s Stone and a Cross Necklace.
  • Fifteen Souls of Light or Night can be used to make Light or Night Keys, respectively. A Key of Light or Night placed into an empty chest will create Hallowed or Corrupt/Crimson Mimics, which are larger than normal mimics and more dangerous, but with unique rewards.
  • Hallowed, Corrupt and Crimson Mimics can also naturally appear in their respective underground biomes.

Queen Slime

Queen Slime is an entirely optional but fun boss: none of its drops are necessary for game advancement.

She is summoned by using a Gelatin Crystal, found in the underground hallow alongside Crystal Shards, anywhere in any hallowed biome.
Defeating her rewards you with similar drops to King Slime: the Crystal Assassin armor set, the only armor set to increase all types of damage, the Hook of Dissonance, which teleports you to the grappled location, and the Gelatinous Pillion, allowing increased airborne movement capabilities. In Expert and Master mode, she also drops the Volatile Gelatin which automatically hurls bouncing slime balls at nearby enemies.

Like King Slime, much of the reason she is easier than the 3 main bosses at this point is because of her limited movement and attacking capabilities; she has no rapid, long range attack, and even in her second form she moves significantly slower than The Twins or Skeletron Prime.

The Three Mechanical Bosses

Once you have a stockpile of the various hardmode resources, it’s time to begin preparing to defeat the first three hardmode bosses. Each must be summoned with an item that can be crafted or dropped by enemies. It’s also possible for one to spawn on its own at sunset, though the player will probably not be able to defeat it unless they are well prepared.

Recommended Equipment for Mechanical Bosses

Following is a list of equipment recommendations for use against the mechanical bosses. This is not an exhaustive list; other items may prove to be effective. This list assumes no Hardmode bosses have been defeated yet:This content is transcluded from Guide:Class setups.

At this point, you may also want to start working on getting good modifiers for your equipment.

Building a Hardmode Arena

Proper terrain preparation is almost completely essential to successfully defeat all three mechanical bosses. Players who intend to solo the hardmode bosses will find the task very challenging without an adequate arena.

For solo players, build a very long bridge out of wood platforms. The bridge should be at least 1000 platforms long, but 2500 is recommended. Build the bridge a large distance from the ground; the ground should not be visible from any part of the bridge. Place blocks at each end of the bridge to prevent running off of the sides.

For team players, the arena can be much shorter. A team arena can be between 250-500 platforms long, but should also have 2-3 separate rows. Space the rows so they are not too close together, but are reachable with rocket boots.

Another Re-Usable Arena can be made out of the pre-hardmode boss arena, the old ones army one, and your skybridge. This allows reusing of the old arenas for Eye of Cthulhu/King Slime, events, and the wyvern arena.

Consider setting up Heart Statues and Star Statues on 1 Second Timers, as well as Sunflowers, Heart Lanterns, Campfires, and pools of Honey as these can make the battles much easier.

If you don’t quite feel up to the task of making a second very long bridge, you could simply use the first one you built for the Wall of Flesh. This will also make the first fight easier due to all of the ambient light. However, after defeating your first mechanical boss, this becomes much harder due to the additional spawns of Lava Bats and Red Devils.

Fighting the Mechanical Bosses

The Destroyer is arguably the easiest of the three bosses and should be fought first. The Destroyer has a chance of spawning naturally at sunset with the message «You feel vibrations deep below…» It can also be summoned by using a Mechanical Worm at night. Fight the Destroyer first if you prefer melee or ranged, as its souls can be used to craft the Light Disc and the Megashark.

Hallowed equipment (except for the Drax/Pickaxe Axe, which is necessary for progression) doesn’t require boss souls; it only requires Hallowed Bars, which you can farm up from the Destroyer.

It is recommended to fight Skeletron Prime next, as ranged characters can make a Flamethrower if he is defeated.

The last of the three mechanical bosses is the Twins. This boss is the hardest of the three for most players and should be defeated last. The Twins have a chance of spawning at sunset with the message «This is going to be a terrible night…» They can also be summoned by using a Mechanical Eye at night. The Twins are recommended for magic and summoner players, as the Rainbow Rod, Magical Harp, and Optic Staff will be very useful weapons later on.

Once any mechanical boss has been defeated, new challenges unlock, and the player gains access to new materials to work with, starting with the souls and bars dropped by the boss. Hallowed Bars can be used to craft Hallowed armor and several kinds of weapons.

The player can also return to the Underground Jungle to search for Life Fruit, a consumable item that can increase the player’s maximum health to 500.

The Solar Eclipse is a very rare event and drops powerful weapons for all classes. You may need to do many before obtaining every item. In the  Desktop version,  Console version, and  Mobile version, the Solar Eclipse can be summoned manually using a Solar Tablet, which can be crafted with eight Solar Tablet Fragments. The fragments drop from Flying Snakes And Lihzahrds, and can be found in Lihzahrd Chests in the Jungle Temple.

Return to the Underground Jungle

Plantera

Also found in the underground jungle is a mysterious pink bulb. Destroying this bulb with a drill or pickaxe summons the boss Plantera.

Upon defeating Plantera, the message «Screams are echoing from the dungeon…» appears, and powerful new enemies are added to the dungeon. The boss also drops the Temple Key, which is used to open the Jungle Temple.

Jungle Temple

Golem

At the bottom of the Jungle Temple, there is a boss room with a lihzahrd altar. Using a Lihzahrd Power Cell on it summons the Golem.

Return to the Dungeon

Duke Fishron

Duke Fishron is one of the hardest bosses in the game as of 1.3.3.3. Just summoning the Duke is a significant challenge in itself, as you will need to capture the wily and elusive Truffle Worm. The spawn rates in naturally occurring Underground Glowing Mushroom biomes are low, and if you intend on getting the Fishron Wings (1/15 chance), as well as all his drops, you’ll need to defeat him on average 10 times. Add in a few more for the times you die and because the RNG hates you, and you could easily be looking at 20-25 truffle worms needed. Trying to net that many manually, even with the help of a Clentaminator, Golden Bug Net and Blue Solution, is tedious and frankly boring. Your best bet is to build a Truffle Worm farm, for which you can find a guide here.

Once you’ve collected sufficient Truffle Worms, you should select your class. Melee, ranged, and magic are all viable options. Ironically, the ranger, which has up until now been a mainstay of boss fights, is probably the worst option. Although the Ranger is still great at dealing high DPS, the lack of a self-healing attack, unlike the other two, also makes this the most dangerous approach, and with the Duke’s extremely high damage, leaves you very little margin for error. If you’re a ranger, make one mistake and you’re dead. Melee using Vampire Knives is the second option, which is relatively safe. And despite Spectre armor (Hood) getting its damage nerfed by 40%, and mana potions nerfed a further 25%, the magic approach is probably still the best one (which goes to show how overpowered it was). As of 1.3, the new magic weapon Life Drain, with a 20% drop rate from the difficult Crimson Mimic, can serve as a magical replacement for the Vampire Knives, and can be obtained earlier in Hardmode by farming for Souls of Night, crafting a Key of Night, and farming Crimson Mimics. However, know that whereas the Vampire Knives’ regenerative powers are proportional to damage, Life Drain simply provides faster regeneration, which may not be enough to save the player from death.

Unlike most boss fights, an arena is of little help. Duke Fishron seems to have been designed with the intention of being farm-proof (he’s not), and if you sit still or linger in the same area, he can literally take you from a full 600hp to zero in two seconds flat in his second stage, whereas if you keep moving and keep your distance, you shouldn’t take much damage. It is important to keep in mind that if you move too far away from him that he will despawn, wasting a precious Truffle worm.

Once you’re ready to fight the Duke, summon him by fishing in the Ocean using a Truffle Worm as bait. From there, the best strategy is to just continually run away while firing until he’s dead. Don’t stop moving at any time or you’ll die. In theory it’s best to use a Gravitation Potion for maximum mobility, but in reality you may actually have very little experience using Gravitation Potions, as they can be disorienting, you can run into floating islands, mountains, or worst, lakes (which will kill you), you can’t fly too high or you will float, and it will be very difficult to dodge (which will kill you). With Wings and Frostspark Boots, you’re very mobile on the ground too and both approaches are viable, so go with what you’re most comfortable with. The Tabi/Master Ninja Gear will allow you to dash out of the way of his more lethal attacks, but be wary of accidentally dashing into a Sharknado. If you have the Shield of Cthulhu, you are even better off, as it allows to dash into him without taking damage (if timed correctly). This can actually be a reliable lifesaver from his quick lunging attacks during his second stage, especially on expert mode (3rd stage). Note that of 1.3 if the player leaves the Ocean Biome Duke Fishron’s defense and attack will double, making fighting across the map an invalid option. The best option as of the latest update will be to build platforms over the Ocean Biome and begin building a flexible arena.

Although Duke Fishron is a very difficult boss, he’s probably still easier than the Lunar Events and it’s probably best to beat him before taking on the Events. However, if you find yourself stuck attempting and failing to kill him, the Lunar Events may be the only other option to continue. If you do undergo the events, it’s best to defeat your class’s pillar (Vortex for ranged, Nebula for magic, Solar for melee, and Stardust for Summoner). Defeating a Pillar once allows the crafting of one of the Lunar Weapons. An optional detour is to defeat the Stardust Pillar to gain a powerful minion (Stardust Dragon or Stardust Cell) to aid you in the fight. BEWARE: if you defeat all Lunar Pillars, the Moon Lord will spawn, and chances are if you can’t defeat Fishron, you have an even lower chance of defeating the Moon Lord. If you’re fighting Duke Fishron multiple times, the fight will be somewhat easier once you’ve acquired his weapon drops and wings.

For more strategies to defeat the Duke, see Guide:Duke Fishron strategies.

The Pumpkin Moon

The Frost Moon

Martian Madness

The Lunatic Cultist

The Celestial Pillars

Once the Lunatic Cultist is defeated, four pillars will spawn in the world. These can easily be found with the map. Be sure to pick up the Ancient Manipulator the Cultist drops, as it is needed to craft end-game gear.

Chances are that you will be near a pillar when they spawn. The pillars represent the four classes: Solar for melee, Vortex for ranged, Nebula for magic, and Stardust for summoning. There is no set order necessary to kill them, but it is preferable to take on the one corresponding to your class first, then the Stardust Pillar to get the powerful Stardust Dragon Staff.

Once the final Pillar is defeated, the status message «Impending doom approaches…» will appear. About a minute later, the Moon Lord will spawn. It is recommended to have potions for the fight, as he will easily kill you if you are not prepared.

The Moon Lord

For more elaborate strategies on defeating Moon Lord, including Weapon and Arena recommendations, see Guide:Moon Lord strategies.

The Moon Lord, bearing a striking resemblance to Cthulhu but confirmed not to be by the developers (although at health thresholds it spawns True Eyes of Cthulhu), is summoned directly after defeating the final Celestial Pillar and serves as Terraria’s final boss as of version 1.3.

The Post-Game

After defeating the moon invasions and acquiring all their drops, the player is free to do anything. You could try designing an ultimate castle or PvP with other top-tier players, or even overcome incredibly difficult challenges (e.g. Frost Moon wave 15+ with Ranger, no arena.) The only end is the player’s imagination!

Some things you might try:

• Purify the Corruption or Crimson biomes.
• Reach top tier in Fishing and acquire the Hotline Fishing Hook/Golden Fishing Rod.
• Beat multiple Bosses at once.
• Complete all the achievements.
• Defeat the Dungeon Guardian.
• Get 100% in the Bestiary.
• Play on an online server.
• Explore player-made custom maps and content.
• Make your own theme park using minecarts.
• Learn how to golf.
• Experiment with the extremely elaborate combinations possible with wiring and teleporters, such as making your own in-game computer!
• Try to complete the game as different Classes.
• Do a hardcore playthrough.
• Do speedruns.
• Play, design, and/or create new PvP modes for all to enjoy!
• Acquire every single weapon and tool.
• Obtain every single armor and vanity set.
• Gather up every single accessory and dye.
• Collect every single Trophy/Relic and Banner.
• Play through the game on Expert Mode or Master Mode.
• Seek out the rarest items in the game, such as the Nymph Banner or Pinky Banner.
• Find bugs and glitches so developers can fix them.
• Create a mod or texture pack, or maybe an adventure/puzzle map.
• Become a wiki contributor!
• Get every item in the duplication window (Journey Mode).

Гайд на хардмод в Terraria – Часть 1

В первой части хардмодного мира мы разберем всех боссов и события вплоть до Плантеры. Главное что вам необходимо будет знать после убийства Стены плоти, это то, что все мобы теперь стали сильнее, а так же их ряды пополнились новыми индивидуумами, которые стали еще более токсичны чем ранее.

Боссы в Terraria в режиме Хардмод

С этого момента вам стоит понять некоторые вещи связанные с вашими следующими босфайтами, которые вам еще предстоит пройти. Искусственный интеллект всех боссов намного лучше проработан, чем в до-хардмодном мире.

Так же стоит отметить огромный прирост к показателям брони всех монстров и боссов, а так же – что логично, поднятие максимального здоровья и урона всех целей. Однако, не стоит унывать, ведь теперь вам станут доступны к получению более могущественные аксессуары и оружие с броней, чем раньше.

Королева слизней

Первый и самый легкий по сложности босс в Terraria после наступления Хардмода. В своей первой фазе напоминает по своим атакам Короля злизней, хоть и имеет особую атаку и призыв трех разных видов слаймов. Во второй фазе начинает очень резво летать вверх и по диагонали, попутно спавня все тех же преспешников и стреляя из себя шариками слизи которые рикошетят от всех поверхностей. Важно, этот босс находится все обязательной сюжетной линии.

Механики

Тут вас встретят три механических босса, примерно схожих по своей сложности. Этот параметр, который вызовет у вас трудности будет напрямую зависеть от класса, за который вы планируете свое прохождение. Про все классы в Terraria вы сможете узнать в другой статье.

Уничтожитель

Представляет собой усовершенствованную версию Пожирателя миров, однако он не распадается на сегменты по уничтожению одной и сегментов босса, а напротив – разрушение одной из секций призывает дрона, который проходит сквозь блоки и атакует героя лазером. Так же, его длина намного превосходит своего предшественника.

Близнецы

Первый и единственный босс в Terraria, который по факту состоит из двух совершенно разных по атакам монстров, однако они оба являются аналогом до-хардмодного Глаза Ктулху. Просто представьте что ваши глаза заменили металлическими протезами, один из которых будет поливать все вокруг проклятым пламенем, а второй без остановки спамить лазером.

Скелетрон-Прайм

Хранитель данжа отрастил себе еще две руки, да и теперь у него не просто руки. На каждой из рук инструмент для уничтожения всего живого. Голова Прайма так же обзавелась шипами, которые будут активироваться при крученой атаке головой.

Герцог Рыброн

Данный деликатес можно призвать в любом моменте сложного режима в Terraria, как и достать приманку для него. Представляет собой гибрид свиньи и ихтиозавра. Из того факта что он наполовину является рыбой, то зоной для его убийства будет океан. Так что если сменить зону сражения – он пропадет. Так же как и Королева является необязательным боссом, однако в качестве лута предоставить невероятно сильно снаряжения даже после убийства механиков.

Плантера

Можно сказать, что она является ключевым боссом, убийство которой открывает по сути дорогу на финал игры, однако не все так просто. В прошлом Плантера была одним из самых сильных боссов игры, а так как разработчики никак не ослабляли ее, может сделать вам нервы и при текущем прохождении. Для ее призыва не понадобится предмет, достаточно будет лишь найти специальный бутон в джунглях и разрушить его. После этого сразу появится босс.
