Guide

The Guide is the first NPC that you encounter, and spawns right away with a new world. He provides tips that are mainly for new players to learn the basics of the game. The Guide also provides information on what you can craft out of any item, just by showing it to him. Unlike other NPCs, he does not need a house, but will move into the first one built, which will often be yours. You may want to build two houses, first one for the guide, second one for yourself. If killed, the guide won't respawn until you make a house for him to inhabit.

The Guide can be killed by monsters, lava, or by the player using the Guide Voodoo Doll, but he will respawn if a vacant home is available. As of 1.1 you need to throw the Guide Voodoo Doll in lava in the underworld or hell to awaken the Wall of Flesh. After he has said everything he will repeat them again. As most players know that he will take the first available home, many find him annoying, though no longer pointless as he now tells you crafting recipes.

Guide's Tips

 * "You should stay indoors at night. It is very dangerous to be wandering around in the dark."
 * "Are goblins really so different from us that we couldn't live together peacefully?"
 * "You can create worm bait with rotten chunks and Vile Powder. Make sure you are in a corrupt area before using it."
 * "Demon altars can usually be found in the Corruption. You will need to be near them to craft some items."
 * "If you combine lenses at a Demon Altar, you might be able to find a way to summon a powerful monster. You will want to wait until night before using it, though."
 * "Underground are Crystal Hearts that can be used to increase your max life. You will need a hammer to obtain them."
 * "If you gather 10 Fallen Stars, they can be combined to create an item that will increase your magic capacity."
 * "Stars fall all over the world at night. They can be used for all sorts of useful things. If you see one, be sure to grab it because they disappear after sunrise."
 * "For a Nurse to move in, you might want to increase your maximum life."
 * "If you had a gun, I bet an Arms Dealer might show up to sell you some ammo!"
 * "You should prove yourself by defeating a strong monster. That will get you the attention of a dryad."
 * "You can make a Grappling Hook from a hook and 3 chains. Skeletons found deep underground usually carry hooks, and chains can be made from iron bars."
 * "If you see a pot, be sure to smash it open. They contain all sorts of useful supplies."
 * "There is treasure hidden all over the world. Some amazing things can be found deep underground!"
 * "Smashing a shadow orb will cause a meteor to fall out of the sky. Shadow orbs can usually be found in the chasms around corrupt areas."
 * "They say there is a person who will tell you how to survive in this land... oh wait. That's me."
 * "You can use your pickaxe to dig through dirt, and your axe to chop down trees. Just place your cursor over the tile and click!"
 * "If you want to survive, you will need to create weapons and shelter. Start by chopping down trees and gathering wood."
 * "Press ESC to access your crafting menu. When you have enough wood, create a workbench. This will allow you to create more complicated things, as long as you are standing close to it."
 * "You can build a shelter by placing wood or other blocks in the world. Don't forget to create and place walls."
 * "Once you have a wooden sword, you might try to gather some gel from the slimes. Combine wood and gel to make a torch!"
 * "To interact with backgrounds and placed objects, use a hammer!"
 * "You need an anvil to make most things out of metal bars."
 * "Iron Anvils can be crafted out of iron, or purchased from a Merchant."
 * "There are many different ways you can attract people to move in to our town. They will of course need a home to live in."
 * "In order for a room to be considered a home, it needs to have a door, chair, table, and a light source. Make sure the house has walls as well."
 * "Two people will not live in the same home. Also, if their home is destroyed, they will look for a new place to live."
 * "If you want a Merchant to move in, you will need to gather plenty of money. 50 silver coins should do the trick!"
 * "Greetings, . Is there something I can help you with?"
 * "Once you are ready to take on the keeper of the underworld a human sacrifice must be made, don't worry everything you need is either here or in the underworld."


 * "Many treasures can be found in the jungle you just have to dig deep enough."

Blood Moon

 * "Hey, buddy, do you know where any deathweed is? Oh, no reason; just wondering, is all."


 * "You can tell a Blood Moon is out when the sky turns red. There is something about it that causes monsters to swarm."
