    Terraria

    Got this game gifted from a friend on Steam during a recent sale (which I then gifted back). I'm addicted to it. At first I was just digging and digging into infinity until I saw the trailer and found out that there are things you can do besides digging. Like build epic structures, or fight epic enemies, or craft light sabers, and stuff.

    Game is so good, but not enough friends play it. Makes me sad.

    Re: Terraria

    Ive played about 150 hours worth of this game. It is incredibly fun. I love the random generated maps and making houses. You may need to look up guides because im not sure if you're aware, but there are certain rules to making 'proper' sctructures that allow NPC to move into them.

    For example. Building a 'house' will require you to build an 8 by 10 ( i believe) perimeter and then use wood to make walls. Dirt walls will not work. Once you have built that, you must then place a door at each end. If succesful, you will notice an NPC move into your house and he will stick around. You can then add onto it and build rooms. A room will allow for another NPC to move in. This doesnt happen instantaneously, but you will notice someone occupy the room sooner or later. Bosses can be triggered by performing certain actions. For example. Khutulu can be summoned by using the "eye of Khutulu" and other bosses can be summoned by destroying objects.

    The game is incredibly vast and item crafting and creation is also quite fun. The challenge is getting really deep into the caves you dig to mine the minerals required for creation of weapons and tools. Tunneling all the way to HELL is where you will be able to farm the best materials, but you will need a certain pickaxe to be able to mine it.

    Very fun game.

    Re: Terraria

    The houses are interesting, but I myself hasn't made any. A friend made some far, far away from the spawn point, which the NPCs moved into. I've been considering getting them killed and relocating the houses, lol. In the meantime we're building the tree fort from Adventure Time, which will be totally awesome if we ever get around to finishing it.

    Rowan, I JUST got the Eye of Cthulhu out of a chest. I know I shouldn't use it as I will be slaughtered, but it's a really tempting troll item... Just worried that the boss will remain even if I log.

    I also dug down far enough to see lava, but I couldn't harvest the ore even with a golden pickaxe. I'm assuming I'll need a demonsomethingorother pickaxe at least.

    Re: Terraria

    If a boss kills you, as long as someone else is still alive fighting it, you can continue to fight it after you respawn. If your party dies and one of you isnt still fighting it, it will go away and you will have to summon it again. You're talking about the stuff that sits beneath the lava? You will need an obsidian/hellfire or meteorite pickaxe. In order to get the meteorite anything, you first need to have killed a certain boss for meteorites to land.

    just build more houses and structures, no need to kill any NPC off =P
    make sure to use torches to light up the houses too!

    Re: Terraria

    So you can have the same kind of NPC in multiple places? I better be careful to give them a room in a bit structure and not a lone house though, or they'll be eaten alive on blood moon...

    I'm not even close to taking down bosses. I need a party to do that, but they're not into the game as me. Some day though! Maybe.

    Re: Terraria

    unfortunatly, I dont have the steam version. Otherwise we could play. I might consider getting it in the future just so I can have all my games in the one thing. Im gonna take some screenshots of my terraria (or maybe even video) and upload it and link on here so I can show you my mega house ive built.

    Did you know that there are floating islands? and if you find one, theres a special chest that requires a key and inside is a rare item. Theres one that can make you double jump, one that makes you take no damage from falling and a few others.

    Oh! and a really useful item you should build is a hookshot. Im not sure if you have it, but you need a hook and 3 chains. A hook can be obtained from killing piranas. They are rare, but if you keep killing piranas, you will get one. Once you have one, you'll always use it and wonder how you got anywhere without one.

    Re: Terraria

    Yeah I probably wouldn't have played the game if it wasn't gifted to me. It is/was $5, but I don't even have the will to buy the Witcher at $7ish. Glad it was gifted to me though!

    I didn't know about the floating islands! We haven't really built up, and all I've done is dig down. I was able to get the cloud in a bottle for double jump and some boots for speed from chests I found scattered about, but that's about it. I'm thinking about making the crown, but I don't know if it'll eliminate the awesome beard my sprite has. Most headgear in the game seems to do that, so I just wear glasses on the social slot. :\

    Hookshot I got recently! It's so cool, haha. Really opened up the game. I actually found the hook off a skeleton or undead miner... probably skeleton. I was pretty happy about that.
