HOW I got Zenith in 8 minutes

2 weeks ago I made a video where I got Zenith in 8 minutes and it almost tripled the views of my second most viewed video and almost doubled my total view count. Some people in the comments were asking how so this is how.

How the glitch works?
I'm not 100% sure but I think it involves tricking the game into thinking the door is part of the bast statue. When you disable the bast statue, everything in the 2x3 area where the bast statue should be has its item id moved up by 1, and when you enable the bast statue it gets moved down by 1. Different doors give different items - as said in the video, to get demon conch you need to use a boreal door and to get zenith you need to use a steampunk door.

Does it work on mobile/console?
I don't know.

Why the glitch doesn't work?
There might be a few things you are doing wrong:
- You need to start in multiplayer and relog into singleplayer
- You have to use a dirt block and stone block to glitch the bast statue
- You have to use a gravity affected block (sand/silt) to place on the bast statue and the trapdoor

How to get the bast statue?
They can be found in underground desert houses, but the seed I used has a surface one

Will re-logic patch the glitch?
Probably, so abuse it while you can

Ethyriel Y. was the one who discovered this glitch, known as transmutation

omg this is actually good, thanks for the video, also hope the devs dont see this video

Just a heads up to everyone wondering if it works on console. It does, but its a little different due to how multiplayer works on console vs pc.
What you need to do is host a multiplayer world and then on a different console have a friend join your world (or they make one and u join them) and then the player that is NOT the host must set this up. Once it has been set up you can quit out and go back to single player and it works just like on pc from there on out.
Hope this helps!

i tried it to step to step but when i re-join the game in singleplayer the bast head isnt here

[theschroederboy]

There needs to be a chart to show what doors give what items

[chroni.kel]

no bast statue head after putting the torch underneath the trapdoor, tried it 3-4 times.

The Zenith is a Hardmode, post-Moon Lord melee weapon crafted using a variety of swords obtained throughout the game's progression. When swung, the sword sprites of its component swords fly towards enemies within a 20-tile radius of the cursor (regardless of where the cursor is on the screen), and circle back in quick, frenzied arcs. They pass through solid blocks, and three swords will appear per use (at base melee speed). Each sword sprite deals the weapon's full damage.

The Zenith is capable of autoswing.

Its best modifier is Legendary.

OH MY GOD THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS SIMPLE GUIDE YOU ARE THE BEST YOU EARNED A SUB

[d.wiranta]

thanks bro its actually workkk this glitch is very simple, but you need data Transmutation result from any doors for more details. Thanks its very helful

[ryangylegochy]

I tried it but my trapdoor is still there

[DumpsterCat-a]

Cycle with a cactus door and you can get EXTREMELY good stuff.

Also if anyone is having trouble getting the fish finder for pda if you find shimmer and use the steampunk door there is a pocket guide for fishing and you can do that three times to get the three pocket guides then use shimmer to change two of them once then one of the sextant once to get the weather station

[carter]

Everything worked perfectly up to opening the door. Regardless of the statue being on or off the door will not open. How can I fix this issue?

[meowzkemon]

for some reason when i load in the world in single player the bast statue isn't there. What did i do wrong?

[BohSuperPersona]

why does the door always give me the same item?

[irenedadios]

I'm having problems with the trap door thing if I break it the sand well go down

[RightOnTime]

Here just to say THIS WORKS ON CONSOLE, I had a friend place the stone at the right time just slightly after torch and it worked! Also you may pick up the statue but as long as its there (head) your fine
