Terraria Beginner's Guide for 2024 (1.4 Journey's End PC, Mobile & Console)

I've played Terraria for over 10 years but I've yet to make any sort of guide on how to play, so I created 'Terraria Beginner's Guide for 2023 (1.4 Journey's End PC, Mobile & Console)' In this video, I'll show you the basics of building, crafting & exploring in Terraria! Terraria is a lot like Minecraft but the game can be quite jarring if you go in thinking it's the same so let me give you some guidance. The version I'm playing is Terraria 1.4 Journey's End on PC but this guide will also work for Playstation, Xbox, Switch, iPhone and Android.

I've played Terraria for over 10 years but never created a Beginner's Guide so that changes today! With the launch of 1.4 Journey's End on console in 3 days I thought I'd make something for new players or maybe even a refresher for those that haven't played in many years

I remember when I "explained" to my friends how to play terraria, I just summoned bosses and tell them "that statue that you built made the boss angry" or "you shouldn't have killed that squirrel, now a boss will appear"

Things got even better when I got an announcement box...

little tip to add at the beginning part when building a house: you can press CTRL when placing the walls & it will automatically fill in all the space within the blocks without going outside. also, workbench counts as a "table" for an NPC to move into your home, so you can just make a chair and set it next to the workbench to save on resources in early game :3

long time minecraft player and always curious about playing terraria but got really intimidated by it, this video made me way less intimidated! very helpful guide

[Chauncey]

I haven’t played terraria in literally years but I got back into it yesterday and I played for 5 hours straight without even realizing it it was one of the best times I’ve had gaming in a long time

Me, who has played Terraria since launch: "mmm yes, I need to watch this guide"

12:45 - 14:20 is a sponsor section
Some to keep in mind
1)The guide is actually VERY USEFUL for new players cuz he can show what can be made with a specific material that you showed him.
He also got some new and more useful dialogues in recent updates that can also help new players

Hermes boots and grappling hooks are really useful for that's all I gonna say.

3)If you're super focused on the first boss, I recommend crafting platforms since it makes a good boss arena and increases your mobility

4) DON'T GO TO UNDERGROUND DESERT if you don't have good gear

5) Toilets are amazing, even more amazing if you attach it to some wires and a switch

[bdk]

So I know the guide is generally hated but you didn't mention the function he performs that was by far the most helpful thing for me as a new player to learn the game: the crafting recipe function where you can see ALL the recipes any material can be used in. There are far more materials than there is space in your inventory so when you don't know what you can make it's incredibly helpful.

I wish that the team had ported over the tutorial world from console and mobile into desktop. Even though you're left on your own building a house to survive the night, it was a great way to learn the basics.

Simply changes the title every new year to keep it the most recent guide. What a legend

[kovexplay]

4:10 I would strongly disagree. In 1.4 they added SO MUCH new dialogue that helps you progress. You may not like him, he may be pretty useless for advanced players but it can be insanely helpful for begginers
Great video! I always appreciate your content <3

Im so excited to play this update, my friends were waiting for so long!!!

[firstpersonsnooter]

This game holds much love and nostalgia to me, because I remember playing it with my stepbrother and sister all the time when we were younger. There was a time when the three of us played split screen on the ol 360, and it’s kinda making me tear up. One time we were trying to kill WOF and they both died and I finished him off with my mini shark at one HP. I miss what life used to be 😪😪😞

I'm going to use this comment to mention some things that I personally think required more explaining.
-for the house any backwall that the player placed counts and you can actually leave gaps but they have to be extremely small. The house has a minimum size of 60 tiles². The requirements are a light source (it doesn't have to be a torch) a furniture that counts as a "flat surface" (it doesn't have to be a table) and a piece of furniture for resting like a chair, a bed or a toilet.
-the guide is not completely useless. He has the crafting guide where you give him an item and he tells you what you can craft with it and where, that's a great way to discover new items. You can also give him a water bottle to discover all the different potions you can make.
-the help button on the guide gives hints on what to do next to progress, the idea experienced players have about the guide being useless is because the hints were outdated before 1.4 and because we already know all that.
-accesories that show information below the mini map also work in the inventory.
-health potions have a 60 second cooldown so use them carefully.
-there are 4 classes of weapons: melee, ranged, magic and summoner. Each one has it's playstyle and subclasses and you can combine them however you want. But I personally find it more enjoyable to focus on one. You can see the class of the weapon by what they say in the damage (for example the wooden bow says 8 *ranged* damage)
-high defense might look appealing, but survival in terraria is based on avoiding damage altogether, so prioritize damage and movement above anything else.
-every weapon has strengths and weaknesses, try different weapons in different situations to know what works best.

I'm not a dev, but I feel so proud to see new babies of the community grow :)

I love how everyone hates on the Guide xD I still use him when i forget recipes. I guess I had a different come-up with him though because i didn't have internet when i first played Terraria (Ocram days) so the Guide was my saving grace lol

[bigmannnnn]

Honestly, on my first play through, I lasted about 20 minutes without the wiki, which I continued to use along with a YouTube guide for my class (magic). It really sucks how terraria isnt that fun without knowing what you want to get and how to get it. Before I used the wiki, I pretty much got full platinum, beat eye of Cthulhu, and then had no idea what to do from there. I feel like the game has way too much depth for someone who doesn’t know what they’re doing, for example, how would someone know that they need an arena for every boss fight? How in the world would someone figure out how to spawn Wof by themself? How would I know to destroy demon altars to get hardmode ores? It just seems too complicated for someone to figure out themself

[Pondollo]

Even tho I've been playing this game for years I'm still gonna learn something new chippy just an expert man

[Knghtslsh]

Finally even know I’m a modern warfare YouTuber I still enjoy some terraria, I can’t tell u how long I’ve been waiting for this update to come over to console.I’m so exited ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

[skribblewhy]

I just love how time and time again the world forged itself to become the perfect tutorial world by showing off all the basics as soon as it was convenient to show, like you found so many chests on the way down, you found gems, then a house, then a heart crystal (it's not often all this happens at once), it's like all the stars aligned and if I was a newbie watching this, then I would be hooked, by this video alone :)
