I subscribed for an additional +50% rizz which helps me rizz up daytime Empress of Light now. Thank you

They called gungnir crazy when he beat fishron only with the anti-gravity hook, *but he knew all along*

[GitGudWO]

i did not know ive always NEEDED a hook guide in my life, this is fire 🔥🔥🔥

[kaiotrem]

I accidently learned in infernum that if you're going too fast upwards and use the slime queen mount, you fly so fast to the sky, and that helped me a lot(altrough i wasn't able to pull off with a hook duo to skill issue)

[BrutusTerraria]

I take full responsibility for any use of the static and anti gravity hook

[NevilsicoShard]

The secret hook technique is new to me. I gotta try that out. Thanks for the info drop.
Also, anti-grav hook my beloved.

[BrutusTerraria]

Ain’t no way you leaked the polter dsp strat now all of the cringe “nfernum master mode players will use it

[mango_lover]

terraria pvp players already knew about the hook pogo momentum tech lol.

I also forgot to add the fact that there is an easy hookless version of the "Super Jump" as you call it, and i just missed it in my 1st comment, so here it is, if you are using the Jetpack, Empress Wings or the Celestial Starboard, and hold up while flying up with a feather falling potion, you can just practically spam a Fast fall mount to get the same effect without having to have a hook point near you, or having to fall under a platfrom to hook up, so you can do it mid flight too, given you have enough Flight time left for it, as the thing that is apart of all the high vertical speed wings is there generally worse Flight time, when compared to others at the same tier.

As I was saying on the discord previously, I personally don't think the first 3 of these hooks can be called Good, as there extremely niche, and don't have any common uses, even more so in vanilla.

My biggest annoyance with them and especially the hook of dissonance, is when they are promoted as THE option for general use, when in fact almost 100% of the time instead of trying to line up and teleport through an attack, it's just easier to use a normal hook and move away from the attack.

Then there are the cases like Inf polter dsp, or enraged duke in vanilla, where these hooks do have uses, but still both those cases are not common.

The fact that 99.9% of players will never get any use out of them is a fact, as most players don't play modded, and so on, but even within the modded community a fraction sees any use in then for Defiled Gameplay, which is even rarer.

But thankfully this video makes it clear that those 3 hooks only really have niche uses.


Then for the few comments of my own after the subject analysis, I personally found out about the hook launching tech from @SarrowSteel on YouTube, from there True melee content, where it's 1 of the few ways to actually true melee Ares.

And on a note on the bat hook specifically, it's really not worth going for in vanilla, as the mobility needed in vanilla isn't nearly demanding enough to be worth the farm for the very rare drop from a semi rare enemy dropped Grab Bag, as just using a Biome mimic hook is far more then good enough (I personally prefer Duel Hook) till you beat Cultist.

And then in modded, more specifically Calamity, similarly farming a very rare drop from a semi rare enemy, in an event, is at least better odds I'd say, but still not really worth it, as the next few bosses don't benefit much from a better hook, as in Plantera, Aureus and Golem, Leviathan does, but still, there is in my opinion a better farming option to go for, in the Thorn Hook, which is the next best right after the Bat Hook, but is a rare drop from Plantera, and so is far faster to farm for if you ask me, even more so if you are using a QoL mod to buy Boss Bags, and it's far more then good enough to last you till Cultist.

Thanks for reading.

love the name in the hotbar so in case anyone steals the video they wont be able to get rid of this "watermark"

[SpiderJAAM]

I love the Queen Slime hook, I even used it like a dolar store rod of discord for certain boss fights.

[chiragx]

ahh youre the chad from the pass the world stuff gg my guy and greetings from Germany

[thedarter]

I literally always use the static hook. I don't use hooks much for fights, and the utility that it gives for building, fishing, mob farming, etc. is nuts. Unironically, I'd take it over any other hook in the game.

Stopping by from Thoarbin, YOU ARE THE GOAT

[Akf-bj]

Maplestory music? In a terraria video??? And it's the cwkpq song!??? Holy based

[deadtop]

the super jump is really useful, it was only with that i could beat exo mechs true melee, is better with the queen slime mount since the mount can fly too so it goes farther

[HumanoidDerpling]

Great video, but I (and probably many others) would love if you gave some more casual examples of their usefulness. Basically all of them (except for the Moon Lord Laser, good job on that one) are from Infernum or similarly difficult mods. This causes the viewer to doubt if they have notable uses in vanilla, base Calamity, or other large content mods for that matter.

It's also a bit cheap not to give many examples of such, since the video title doesn't mention Infernum or even modded in general. The Infernum demographic in particular is so comparatively small that many players will come to this video expecting tips they can utilize in their playthroughs, only to be given solutions for problems they will never have.

I'm doing a toolless infernum run, and I want to rip my hair out as I can't use grappling hooks.

[Sal_Axe]

Ha, Yardis hook 'em with the-
(balls, balls, balls)

Also you even put Yardis youtube logo so that guy will not steal that part? Really good idea
