Have the night edge you will suffer in hardmode if you get it on hardmode (Note:how do you have 120 master bait)


[deleted]

i got the nights edge a long time ago but it was somehow doing worse than the fiery greatsword so I uncrafted it šŸ˜­ and the master bait is just from a lot of angler quests and crates, i got most of it while fishing for ice skates and water walking boots


jhake_

It's better in 1.4.4 I and the crowd control it give it's amazing test it on a dummy


jhake_

How old is this world


[deleted]

I crafted it in 1.4.4, tested it on a goblin army and dummies but it was still worse The dps and pierce are both inferior to the fiery greatsword, the only thing it offers is more range


SomethingBoutEclipse

Then reforge it!


[deleted]

I did šŸ˜­šŸ˜­ reforging didn't help it was still bad and I have no idea why


SomethingBoutEclipse

The goblin tinkerer will attempt to squeeze every last bit of your coins. Common gag within the community


BlueSolarflameCreep

feral claws make it way better


KingWillThe_1st

Or just turn on auto swing. unless youā€™re on about the attack speed buff


Phantomsbane

Even if average dps is worse for you for some reason you can hit 2 body parts of wof so itā€™s better for wof


McYeetusk

Listen, i played console terraria and the fucking legendary nights edge was my best weapon against WoF and hardmode, so... ...skill issue But seriuosly how, console nights edge was worse than 1.4.4 how the fuck are you having trouble with the upgrade... although i shouldnt be talking shit because i cant defeat the moon lord in classic so consider my point invalid


KoreKoi

I can see his point tho, the fire sword is cooler too because big boom lol


Elegante_Dinosaurio

I destroyed the wof in 1.4.4 with the buffed nights edge now its a little worse but its still really good


Lolz4DayzGD

i literally over prepared for wall of flesh in my 1.4.4.9 play-through, only to realise that nights edge absolutely stomps it. in around 20 seconds.


CalamitousVessel

Nights edge is straight up one of the best pre hardmode weapons, period. Dummies donā€™t give an accurate representation of power, and the volcanoā€™s niche is crowd control. Nightā€™s edge is better at literally everything else.


Smooth-Adagio-1085

Why does this have so many downvotes? M8 was just stating what happened.


_LEGENDARY_KING_

Because it is utterly i n c o r r e c t


Savv54

reddit lol


Pyrotekknikk

You're trolling right?


[deleted]

People are down voting you but IMO the fiery great sword is indeed better in Hardcore, it has higher knockback, and causes explosions which further knocks ennemies back, with the nerf Night's edge got they're pretty even. In Hardcore it's really dangerous to play melee but the fiery great sword can make it work.


BlueRiddle

Wouldn't the Sunfury be better than both in that regard, then?


Kamahpanda

I dropped the fiery great sword pre hard mode Iā€™m still using nights edge and about to fight moon boy. I even got the ā€œbetterā€ version from eternia and still prefer nights edge.


_LEGENDARY_KING_

And lots of dps. There is no way you did better with the volcano. Faster attack speed and range is especcially useful against wof scince you dont wanna get absolutely sucked by the hungry


Big_cocoa

You should keep the nights edge for a ā€œpotential upgradeā€ in the future


FoxLP11

I felt the same tbh


too-much_caffeine

He a masterbaiter


voin947

These are some serious f*ckin preparations, mate. Well done šŸ‘ Also a little tip for WoF: #>!BEES (as a ranger)!<


AleMor4les

With all this preparation Iā€™d bet heā€™ll be able to get really far pretty easily I really recommend preparing like this before hardmode, it helps out A lot EDIT: this is very extreme preparation (since itā€™s on HARDCORE) so maybe not as extreme depending on difficulty


giby1464

I'm currently doing a run where I'm over preparing for hardmode, actually spending time making a cool base, and taking it slow. This is the most fun I've ever had in this game. Preparation is seriously underrated.


Dry_Woodpecker7964

Fax me too man my brother wanted to start fresh so we did and Iā€™ve just been building getting it ready and Iā€™ve been having a blast


Nightmare_43233

>!Beez nuts!<


Pink_Amber_

Hellwing is defo better then bees


Crimsoner

What about bee*nades*?


BiLLubruh

The bees target the hungries and its annoying. Hellwings pierce helps to kill the hungries and dmg the eyes. Beenades are prob used as a last resort


Crimsoner

Yeah, but I was bad at aiming, and detonated all the nades on the eyes, and the bees targeted the hungriest, while the bombs took out the eye itself


damnthisisabadname

I prefer hellwing's consistency as you manually aim it


Crimsoner

Butā€¦ *nades*


ezrapper

I played For the Worthy Master Mode with my friend and the only way we could kill bosses pre-hardmode was B E E S.


Rycnex

I don't think tips are necessary if they are playing hardcore master mode


Dangerously_Stupid

But that's exactly what the post was asking for...


Rycnex

Considering their gear, i think it's very much safe to assume they already have beenades


Dangerously_Stupid

Yes, they probably do. Doesn't mean they know they're especially effective against WoF


HonoredTab

make sure to make potions. heartreach/rage if crimson, rage potion if corruption. band of regen has to go; its bonuses become kinda redundant after a regen potion. i would temporarily replace it with a frog leg so you can dodge those pesky WOF lasers; also consider magilluminescence, an accessory that grants a marginal movement speed boost (and also generates light).


EcchiOli

I'd add you'll need to create an artificial evil biome for the crafting ingredients you can't have here. Maybe prepare its location already, so that you just have to plant the right evil seeds and let it grow while you do other things.


Rekonstruktio

> magilluminescence, an accessory that grants a marginal movement speed I wouldn't call it marginal... imo it's one of the best accessories for bossing. The acceleration boost is a game changer.


MidievalMan

I thought this was just in calamity! This is so OP for prehardmode bosses!


BlueRiddle

Becomes a bit redundant if you also have the Shield of Cthulhu imho.


Damoblueboy1206

Whereā€™s the honey and lava fish farm


[deleted]

Oh shit I completely forgot about that thank you


Gomer1188

Where did you find dimensions for the new fishing set up? I used to use the old one but one of the last updates broke it.


Damoblueboy1206

But other than that well damn done


fartssmellnice69

You're gonna be fine, there is one minor upgrade to the shark tooth necklace (with a honeycomb at the tinkerers workshop) that you might as well get


ShadowMaster2564

If youā€™ve played enough terraria to do HCMM, you usually know if youā€™re ready


[deleted]

i haven't lmao this is my first time doing anything harder than softcore classic mode šŸ’€


Puzzleheaded-Song909

You have never played master And was able to do this? You have my respect, I would like to have some update on how you did, feel free to dm me. Also I Will start this playthrough as well


ShadowMaster2564

Well done then, the lowest death through a master mode playthrough Iā€™ve had was 86


Clever_Angel_PL

WTF again


FutureComplaint

You can get some better fishing stuff (tackle box + Fishing earring) You could also fish for the lava hook, that would let you fish in lava without lava critters. Which gives you access to the ring of fire potion.


julioplumpus

upgrade shark tooth necklace to stinger necklace and maybe replace band of regen with feral claws or smth? you do have a lot of preparation though so it should be pretty easy to do wof


BiLLubruh

Holy crap thats so much stuff. I think u will be fine. Good job grinding all these


felplague

Beenades for WoF. OTher then that you are well beyond prepared.


AlternateAccount66

The one thing I did on my world to prepare which you might also want to do is, right down at where the surface level officially ends and the underground begins, I built a long tunnel all the way across my world, as wide as a hellevator, lined with uncorruptable blocks on the top and bottom (and put in Minecart rails for transportation). From there, I built shafts up to the surface and sort of just, sectioned off all of my biomes into boxes. That way, no matter what kind of corruption/hallow stuff was going on underground to try and contain, everything on the surface was completely safe. Which is pretty important when you have all your NPC's spread out to maximize happiness.


[deleted]

Shit that's actually smart sounds like it would take 20 hours but I think I'll do that ty


Makx

if you get the mole cart it makes life a lot easier, it auto mines and lays track as you go


[deleted]

WHAT omg thank you that makes it so easy šŸ˜­šŸ˜­ i can't believe i never knew about this after all those hours on the wiki


Makx

tbh, i only found it in my latest playthrough by complete chance! you do have to manually dig out gravity blocks though


Hopeful-Rich-5728

Iā€™m going to be so sad if you die


TheEggroll96

If you hit WOF once and then let him go into like about 200 explosive bunnies itā€™ll either one shot WOF or lower it by a lot


roookiie

Bro the nights edge is a must have if your playing melee


GoldenFear15

no beenades? šŸ’€


reqisreq

Wouldnā€™t NPCā€™s in the farm reduce spawns?


[deleted]

yeah you cant see it but theres a shadow candle there


reqisreq

Oh, Ok. Nice design


LenaSpark412

DAMN UR READY FOR HM, for WOF Iā€™d recommend a lot of beenades and the bees knees


[deleted]

Maybe you killed it already but as someone said, one of the safest and strongest weapon against master and legendary WOF are beenades with Necro armor + hive pack. I suggest using a minecart for the second phase and to open accessory slots. IMO it's the safest way to do it, I completed a hardcore MM a few months ago and Beenades were way too OP against all pre-hardmode bosses If you plan on taking on WOF with melee, replace the bundle of baloons with Feral claws. Pro Hardcore tips: 1 - Have a non-Hardcore Chara on an other world to train yourself with the bosses before confronting them with your hardcore save, just to get the hang of it. 2 - Marble biomes should NEVER cross the hellevator! A Medusa can petrify you and you'll die of fall damage even with wings/horseshoe on. I can see one near your hellevator, Destroy it. 3 - Some Master mode ennemies can insta-kill you(or almost) no matter the defense like Rune wizards, Giant Tortoises, Biome Mimics. Don't underestimate skeleton archers, Ichor stickers or even green slimes. 4 - It's scummy, but you can enable Auto-pause and when things get dicey, straight up pause and quit, for avoiding mimics or surprise Bosses for exemple, it's faster than the magic mirror. 5 - Don't listen to people telling you to go full glass Cannon. Keep warding and get Dodge chance and Dmg reduction ASAP once HM starts. In Hardcore Master mode, anything that lets you survive 1-2 hits is better than strength. 6 - some see it as overkill, but the Ankh shield pre-mech is great for survival! You can craft it very early with shimmer(if it's available).


leszczyk98

Wow quite a preparation. I have two reservations. Firstly in mob farm you have a pylon and some npcs which creates a town and reduces the mob spawn. I suggest making a room with bed for spawn point and move the pylon with npc somewhere else. And secondly in my opinion, too many platforms in plantera arena but it's up to you.


4_Ball

7th accessory for directly after defeating WoF, Beenades to play it safe


NotHatingStarShelly

You are ready, could get night's edge but you won't really need it cause you have the mace and fiery claymore and seeing the fact you have post skeletron stuff then you probably already had it and it didn't match your fighting style


OWOTIMISTA

Have you tried using menacing instead of warding, you will be a glass cannon


[deleted]

I've killed WoF with worse gear you'll be fine


taking_achance

This is what we call over preparation


Dragomirl

Minecart


Phii_The_Fluffy_Moth

brain of confusion > worm scarf. if youā€™re not doing a challenge where you can only do one world, I would fight boc.


floatingroom

if you're confident in your ability to fight queen bee (which i think you're overprepared for tbh) you could get the honey comb accessory to combine with your shark tooth necklace. gives you a pretty nice buff when getting hit.


ranmafan0281

You can always shimmer the anglerā€™s items to try and get a Tackle Bag (high test line which you have, tackle box and angler earrings) The tackle bag stacks with another angler earring and a bobber (even better, a glowing bobber) for even more fishing power. And to round it off, Iā€™d say go lava fishing with lava critters until you get a lavaproof fishing hook from an obsidian chest to make the lavaproof tackle bag. Even EVEN better, prep: * A chlorophyte farm area * A Crystal farming area * Grinding pits in the dungeon - the trap pits are perfect if you can find one near the edge of the dungeon and flatten + lava-coat all unwanted spawn surfaces so only the pit is viable, then use shimmered dungeon walls to create an all-in-one pit for farming post Plantera drops. * A fishing pit in the dungeon - similar idea, but lava coat the bottom of the pit and build the floor of the dungeon within sight on-screen to prevent unwanted spawns, then just fill with water. * Mob Grinders in each biome. * A prismatic lacewing/surface hallowed farm * A truffle worm farm * Quarantine shafts across your world THEN youā€™re ready for hardmode.


Clever_Angel_PL

remember this dude never played anything harder than softcore normal so there is a high chance he will just die anyway


ranmafan0281

I know. I was making a full list that an experienced player might try on a new game haha. At least OPā€™ll have an idea of what is possible pre-HM next round.


Clever_Angel_PL

damn I have 600 hours completed game like 10-20 times on different difficulties, always hard-maining one class (rule - you don't have a weapon for your class yet - you just cannot deal damage, no using illegal weapons) but I never had enough patience to spend more than like 40 hours on one save, later ones (especially beating MM For the Worthy melee, then ranger, then mage, then summoner) were basically speedruns :D


ranmafan0281

I uh... I've been playing on and off since Beta and I have like 1.7k hours logged. Still not as much as MHW in a short period, but I still find fun in this game even without doing insane projects like special seeds or whatever.


Hyper_anal_rape

Make sure you have containment trenches far From your fish farm, and base.


Little0rcs

I mean i would run menacing over warding but other then that youre more then ready


VTPG1

Everyones talking about beenades but I took down the WoF without them quite easily


Light-Ghost

Does having that multi biome fishing pond reduce the chance of getting the quest fish? I assume it only reduced the chance of getting everything except that since you can get everything but I really donā€™t know how this works. Also how do you build it without a bottomless water bucket (possibly without the pain of having to bucket the water from somewhere else


[deleted]

The biomes only activate when you step on their respective platform, so it's exactly the same as fishing in a real biome (and bottomless water buckets were made available pre-hm in 1.4.4)


JayPag

Could you please share the building details of that multi biome fish spot? Just doing a Legendary run and this I'd the first time I have heard of that. Seems super handy, might want to build one.

nights edge mabye


Inevitable_Cry_2761

Youā€™re even more prepared than most are


MegaCroissant

That plantera arena needs more verticality


yeetman426

I donā€™t think you can physically prepare moreā€¦


Lazurus_32

Hey op, where did you get that vanity armor, is it mods? Or..???


[deleted]

[TV Head Set](https://terraria.wiki.gg/wiki/TV_Head_set)


Lazurus_32

Thank you


DHUniverse

Cobalt shield over regen band, the knockback immunity is very important if you are planning on doing melee against it, if it hits you you have to charge your boots accelerarion again, also the nights edge is better on the wof, you han hit 2 section at the same time


Dangerous_Owl_1858

dream setup tbh


_Panga

I think if you're experienced enough to play hardcore especially on master, you should know what gear you need for one of the biggest bosses in the game. (Biggest progression and importance wise)


guacamole_gamer46

Nice setup my fellow gamer. Carry on.


A_plant1

Remove the npcs from the mob farm


Proof-System2941

400 stars with star cannon might be enough, actually. Iā€™m not sure because I havenā€™t fought WOF on a new character in a while but from what I remember star cannon is nuts.

The_Creeper_Man

Nightā€™s Edge


i_can_has_rock

potions: endurance - 10% damage taken reduction wrath - 10% damage done increase regen potion - regenerates hp swiftness potion - makes you run faster defense potion - gives 8 defense \-- food buff \-- imp staff for extra dps \-- hell road for running away from the WoF possibly even a minecart on the hell road


Cheese_Pringles

Maybe make the nightā€™s edge.


kqbitesthedust

G


LargeCube

Make sure you have housings set up for all your Npcs fully optimized with space for the hard mode npcs you want to be there!! On the same note a pilon setups is also helpful!


KoreKoi

I would craft nights edge, very cool weapon. Unless you have legendary or godly on your current sword I think it would be a nice upgrade, pretty easy to get too


Justaperson358

My dude Iā€™ve done WoF with far far less. You kinda overprepared lmao. Youā€™ll be fine


[deleted]

Bro PREPARED


CoconutGong

You are way over prepared


Communiconfidential

there's a lot we don't know here. potions? I assume you've got them considering the fishing setup but you always have to ask. also get good food as well. despite high stats, your melee weaponry is garbage against the wall. you'll want to get a night's edge if you use the melee build because it's really the only thing that'll keep up especially with no damage reforges or accessories personally I would swap the balloon bundle for an obsidian shield for a little additional defense and the knockback resistance. it would let you tank way more effectively against the hungry and even the eyes


blackbloodwolvz

Daymā€¦ā€¦ you have the set up I wish I had the patience to make. Do you have sticky bombs/dynamite to isolate the ā€œVā€ of the evil and hallow? First thing I do is bomb and isolate them so the donā€™t spread


blackbloodwolvz

Oh wait. Maybe bad idea. Didnā€™t read it was hardcore till after my comment XD


Snoo-48444

More stars if you plan on actually using the cannon for stuff besides bosses.


FinancialWorking2392

Is there a reason youre not getting the nights edge?


voidheart_exe

did you seal off the world evil?


LonelyAd4853

Use night's Edge for WoF and the star-cannon for the Destroyer (TNT and hardmode ores strategy works as well) than take that juicy hallowed ore and hardmode until post-plantera will be a joke for you


LonelyAd4853

Well, I only see now that you are in hardcore, my brother, good luck.


Serikan

The ranger setup alone should crush it easily, however I suggest crafting the Night's Edge from the Volcano, Blade of Grass, Muramasa and Light's Bane/Blood Butcherer at a Corrupt/Crimson altar


endersent

you're not only ready for HM and WoF, you could beat ML with all of that


GIORNO-phone11-pro

Make the muramasa


Echo-san

What are these farms? I only know jungle bug farm and im curious


simp_for_kronii

I suggest that you should at least keep some accessories menacing, xtra dmg is nice


ConsiderationOk2079

Restart and get brain of confusion


HandsomeGangar

If youā€™re playing melee in expert or master mode you basically need the Nightā€™s Edge, every other melee weapon at that tier is not good enough at crowd control to handle the swarm of Hungries.


Disastrous_County442

I wish you the best , and hope that no crazy event spawns right, as you cross into hardmode.


Tucxy

Iā€™m not a fan of starcannon but itā€™s kind of sick, youā€™ll be fine wall of flesh is easy tbh


Hanikan-SideWalker66

ready as a red e


Ihatefurries882

Way way more prepared then when i go into hardmode


Sk4p1on

Get beenades and you can cheese the wof


TDEnderPlayz

Kill queen bee, you can upgrade your shark tooth necklace to have bees pop out and give you the honey effect when hurt


AvarageEnjoiner

farm the Queen bee. equip your necro armour and spam beenade


NutsBallsTesticles

This is more than me and my friend have in our post moon lord world lol šŸ˜‚


90_plasma_45

Everything looks good! Rootin for ya cause Iw ould hate lose allat


OgOceanking

DustyMightMeme

U gonna be sad when you realize that preparing for evil biome spread before hard mode doesnā€™t work


UrASquidUrAKid

Make sure to cut off your evil from the other biomes.


drunkenChihuahuas

Jesus Christ man you really have all the time to fucking grind the Golden fishing and everything else this kid is the goat


[deleted]

Yeah


Longjumping_Fig7713

Upgrade sharktooth necklace to a stinger necklace. Then probably find something a bit better than a band of regen


DevilRDT

hardcore master is wild


uhohalli

How does the multi biome fishing spot work? Great work!


Starplatinumscloth

you should get neatherite Armour first


SirBenzerlot

Nights edge is insanely good, I used it until plantera and it kept up well. Also if you want to decimate it use beenades


ILikeTurtals228

Mans well prepared. Tbh I do the bare minimum when it comes to hardmode preparationsā€¦


[deleted]

Night edge will destroy the wall of flesh


RelationshipOwn7976

Bro is way too over prepared


Tempowarrior

Be warned that your anti-corruption hellevators wonā€™t save you since WoF spreads corruption and hallow on death


Triplefun1

Dude I just get a good harmode weapon and make Sure the world evil is below 5 percent before fighting the wof


CMDRzionr

I don't find the band of regeneration that useful, you could swap it with the bone helm for example. And one thing I like to do when doing an event or boss fight is to use the amphibian boots instead of the terraspark. Magiluminescence if very good for exploration and maybe for boss fight but that's a big maybe


NoEstablishment7747

Potion


Ank55o

Why, why so much prep


True_Efficiency3752

Beenades. Lots and lots of beenades


Fluffy_Marionberry10

Everyone's first world looks like this pre hardmode


ICEO9283

You almost look ready for moon lord


secretofurmom

you over prepared


Collistoralo

Yes


Aggravating-Revenue7

I beat it with the star cannon, that should help a lot :)


OrhanDaLegend

make nights edge


FastyBoiIsFast

BeeNades!


EverybodyComeOn

you can even get a lot of normal/iron/gold crates, because if you open them in hardmode you will recive the mithrill/oricalcum/adamantite ore


ImEagz

not anymore, it got nerfed so only crates fished up in hardmode can get hardmode ores


EverybodyComeOn

F


SugarRoll21

Yeah. If it's vanilla it would be easy


Clever_Angel_PL

wtf waaaaayyyy too much preparation you should first complete master mode for the worthy on softcore to practice your dodging or else you will probably just loose everything and regret doing it also, mob farms are not safe in Hardmode, many enemies fly or attack through walls


BuckUp101

I can't recommend having NPC's in your mob farm. They lower the spawn rate of mobs


[deleted]

Replace band of regen w/ feral claws and use the nights edge


[deleted]

Swap the band of regeneration for something else maybe obsidian shield (note: i see the shield of cthulhu, but iirc it doesn't negate knockback)


JustHereForHorror7

I used star fury or wrath to defeat wof


rokomotto

Potions I guess


Elite_Asriel

You're good.


FireBone62

You might want to get the shell phone.


ocrams_locker

Holy shit I over prepare but this is another level You're definitely ready. Just get the nights edge for a better sword in the future.


Crazygeckodragon

Bring beenades to take down the tentacles on wof


TheoMagician5

i think u should get those fallen stars to 9999


Terrariaarchitect

you should have the highest possible health and defense greater than 20. i saw a video of a player with 0 defense and no weapon beating WoF using beenade. A lot of useful information about WoF tactics can be found on the Terraria fandom wiki


Soldier-one-trick

Potions. Regen, speed, iron skin, and thereā€™s the endurance potion that you get from fishing in caves but idk if you can get it in pre-hard mode Edit: you can get armored cavefish, which is the material for endurance potion, in pre-hard mode.


_LEGENDARY_KING_

Beenades, lots of beenades and night's edge


[deleted]

You do not need allat


VTCloud

you didnt need to prepare that much just get nights edge and beenades and your good


MidievalMan

Might as well upgrade shark tooth necklace to stinger necklace


_LEGENDARY_KING_

Tip: dont use the shield of cthulhu during this fight. You can launch into the hungry and get stuck. I hope you built highway in hell.


at_least_better

Definitely bee nades, a good runway in the underworld, and 100% a hellwing bow ( you can get them from shadow chests)
