A few (questionably) "useful" Terraria Facts - Part 20½

[Terraw]

I've gotten requests from people to make Terraria useful information. Unfortunately, making good, helpful content is difficult.
So, you get this deranged child of mine instead. I'm sure this will be useful for someone out there.

[WaffleTime]

It's a dark, dark day when Smallos Fuckos is 200% crimson

You might recover over 150 HP using Spectre armor if you use zapinator. This works with the mask as well but only if luck is on your side.

[danielramin]

These are rather useful compared to most tips and tricks videos because those tips often get recycled and told by multiple creators, these are a lot more niche and useful for long term players—thanks!

[Shyguymask]

Some of these are actually really useful and I didn't know about them!

[ocksie]

i like how i knew a lot about these but then had my mind completely blown by the simple idea of just quick stacking torches into chests while exploring caves in early pre-hm
2500 hours btw

Note: you can’t teleport into the temple using rod and you can’t use wires on temple walls pre golem as of 1.4.4 if I’m not mistaken, you can however still hoik
Edit: I was mistaken rod doesn’t work pre plantera

[Diamond_Squid]

ok that quick stack to find chests is legitimately interesting, and ima kinda surprised i never thought of it

[RegoiTube]

4:14 Thats insanely useful oh my lord!

[lordmarshmal_]

On the topic of the Purification Powder and Clentaminator being unavailable in getfixedboi - this change is present in dontdigup itself too, both seeds cover the surface layer in corruption/crimson and boosts the spawn rate massively to make it H E L L to get around on the surface, so they most definitely disabled those 2 items to try to prevent an easier time getting around up there

[damnthisisabadname]

Finally, a terraria tips video which isn't insanely obvious

[samclanamm]

A very useful tip I found for multiplayer is that if you want wormhole potions, you can shimmer recall potions to get specular fish
That way, all you need to craft wormhole potions is blinkroot

[somedude]

#6 actually
enemies are immune to lava *contact* damage
but not to "on fire" debuf it applies to them
ofc except enemies that are immune to that too
so you *can* use lava for traps but it won't be that eficient

[Lorcout]

4:19 ok, that's actually REALLY useful

[KnownAsKenji]

Stairs/platforms work on blocking some other mobs too, the most obvious one is slimes. They are also handy for blocking most underwater swimming mobs while letting water through, reasonable alternative to grates. And of course if you hoik properly you can keep anything out that doesn't pass through walls, but that's another trick.

The Enchanted Sundial/Moondial will instantly refresh when a Blood Moon or Solar eclipse occurs, even during the fast forward. However, this only works on Natural Blood Moons and Eclipses.

[jackalscry]

Specter armor has the reputation it does because the old set bonus was uncapped. I think that was back in 1.2

[damnthisisabadname]

3:27 Pretty sure the orbs can crit, so they can do upto 800 dps (probably not worth sacrificing all your damage for crit though)

[eg_Fishlord]

that quick stacking feature i remember accidentally finding in the underground desert, still no chisel out of like 15 chests

[kaffii]

this is more useful than some other terraria tips and tricks videos i've seen
