Guide:Hardcore master mode for the worthy

se It will be finished Guide NPC.

Hardcore x Master Mode x For the worthy is an extremely brutal challenge, yet very rewarding.

By Funmikey07 and Unknown.

This is a project that is not finished yet.

Currently taking a break from this project. It took forever to get it to this part and a lot of this I have been doing in my free-time. I use up all my free-time doing this but I will still be working on it, just not AS MUCH.

The Start
Comienzas con nada más que una espada corta de cobre, un hacha de cobre y un pico de cobre. Lo primero que debe comenzar a hacer es obtener suficiente madera para construir su primera casa básica, también tenga cuidado ya que los árboles en For the Worthy a veces arrojan bombas cuando se extraen. Debes mantenerte alejado de los limos, ya que los limos te matarán muy rápidamente. Si intenta matar un limo, debe mantenerlo en un ciclo de daño para evitar sus ataques. También vale la pena señalar que este mundo tendrá conejitos explosivos que te dispararán fácilmente si son atacados. Una vez que hayas completado tu primera casa básica, debes fabricar una espada de madera y luego fabricar y equipar una armadura de madera. Sin embargo, no debes desechar tu espada corta de cobre, especialmente si es un mundo de estaño, ya que la necesitarás más tarde para fabricar el Zenith.

Durante el resto del día, corte árboles y vuelva a plantar bellotas para obtener un suministro suficiente de madera, pero tenga cuidado ya que los árboles pueden arrojar bombas encendidas. Cuando llega la noche, la superficie se volverá extremadamente peligrosa, por lo que es recomendable ir a la minería. La mejor manera de hacer esto es cavar un hoyo de 2 mosaicos de ancho con una trampilla en la parte superior para evitar que los monstruos caigan dentro. Es posible que desee colocar plataformas o cuerdas de vez en cuando para tener la opción de volver a levantarse cuando sea necesario. Recuerde mantener los túneles bien iluminados y, si tiene madera de repuesto, cree y coloque paredes en el túnel para evitar que los enemigos aparezcan allí. Si te encuentras con enemigos, se recomienda evitar recibir daño porque los enemigos pueden matarte de un solo golpe. Si el enemigo es demasiado fuerte, puede considerar bloquear la sección en la que se encuentra. Siga minando hasta el día y recuerde que las ollas pueden generar bombas encendidas.

Cuando llegue la luz del día, cree algunas casas más simples para los NPC. Todo lo que se necesita es una caja de madera con una silla, un banco de trabajo, una linterna y una puerta. Luego, trabaje en hacer un Hellevator pero no baje a los niveles de la caverna ya que las tasas de generación de enemigos aumentan considerablemente allí. Busque hierro o plomo, ya que puede hacer una mejor armadura, tome todos los cristales de vida si los encuentra, pero solo use uno por el momento, ya que usar más puede permitir que ocurran lunas de sangre, el desove del Ojo de Cthulhu y Lluvias de limo (pueden ocurrir lluvias de limo de todos modos, sin embargo, serán mucho menos comunes). Al llegar a 120 de salud, si hay una casa adecuada, la Enfermera NPC puede aparecer.

Exploration
Go underground and look for Underground Cabins as the cabins can sometimes contain Magic Mirrors or Hermes Boots. Magic mirrors will be useful for getting out of tight situations, and also serves as fast travel to your spawn. However, note that Recall Potions have a much faster use time, which may be essential in escaping death. After looting the underground, go out to explore the world but try not to stumble into the Crimson/Corruption or Jungle as those biomes will kill the player very fast. Once players have scoped out their world a bit they should go mining some more, as they can find Platinum or Gold. Spelunker Potions or Spelunker Glowsticks will speed up the process. Getting as much Defense as possible should be a priority.

King Slime [[File:King Slime.gif]]
Este será muy difícil, pero vale la pena el tiempo. Debido a que King Slime es mucho más grande de lo normal, sería mejor mantener una distancia razonable, sin embargo, ir demasiado lejos hará que se teletransporte, lo que puede matar al jugador con bastante facilidad debido a su gran hitbox. La recomendación de la arena son tres líneas rectas de plataformas que se extienden de 200 a 400 cuadras de ancho. La recomendación de armas es usar el arco de platino o el arco dorado con flechas Frostburn para guardabosques, boomerang encantado u otras armas cuerpo a cuerpo a distancia que no sean lanzas para cuerpo a cuerpo, bastones de gemas si eres mago, y para Summoner, te recomiendo que uses el Finch Staff, Slime Staff o Flinx Staff para los minions, y el látigo de cuero para el látigo. La recomendación de armadura es armadura de platino u oro. Las recomendaciones de accesorios son: botas Hermes, Aglet y cualquier accesorio para aumentar el daño que pueda encontrar. Una vez que hayas conseguido las armas, usa la Slime Crown y empieza a correr. Vigílelo siempre e intente dar tantos golpes como pueda. Una vez que hayas matado al Rey Slime, asegúrate de deshacerte de los limos que han aparecido durante la pelea y ve a recoger tu bolsa del tesoro. Ahora, con su nuevo gel real, ahora puede ir con seguridad a la jungla subterránea, donde los limos con púas no lo matarán.

Goblin Army
Después del limo rey, deberías tener una salud máxima de 300-400 y un equipo bastante decente. El primer paso es ir al borde del mundo y cazar goblins exploradores hasta que tengas al menos 10 telas andrajosas, después de regresar a la base o usar un espejo mágico/poción de recuperación, crea un estandarte de batalla goblin con las 10 telas andrajosas y 5 de cualquier madera en un telar (todavía no uses el estandarte de batalla). El siguiente paso es hacer un pozo de 5 mosaicos de profundidad y 27 mosaicos de largo (póngalo cerca del engendro mundial/cerca de su base) luego coloque 3 cubos de lava en el fondo, luego haga un túnel en un área de 3 mosaicos de alto debajo de la lava dejando solo 1 Línea gruesa de mosaico entre tu cabeza y la lava. A continuación, bloquear todas las entradas a su base y casas de npc es la mejor idea. En este punto, estás listo para usar el estandarte de batalla que convoca al ejército, después de que el ejército haya sido convocado; párese en el túnel debajo de la lava y bloquee la entrada. Si se construyen correctamente, los goblins deberían caer en la lava y morir, permitiéndote recoger gotas como monedas de debajo de la lava, puedes correr de un lado a otro para esquivar los ataques mágicos disparados por los hechiceros goblin. Después de que 120 goblins hayan sido asesinados; salga del túnel y acabe con los enemigos restantes, luego coloque bloques a través del foso para que pueda caminar sobre él con seguridad (después de skeletron, es mejor conectarlo a una palanca con actuadores para usar más adelante para activar y desactivar el foso). No te deshagas de esta configuración de trampa, ya que es sorprendentemente efectiva para otros eventos como la luna de sangre, la invasión pirata, la legión helada y el eclipse solar. Después de derrotar al ejército goblin, busca en el área subterránea y de la caverna al calderero goblin, cuando lo encuentres y le digas que compre las botas cohete y el taller del calderero, luego dirígete a casa. Asegúrate de tener una casa npc vacía para que se mude el manitas goblin. Una vez en casa, coloque el taller del hojalatero y utilícelo para fabricar botas de espectro con las botas cohete recién compradas y las botas Hermes (siempre que las haya encontrado y localizado), luego, si puede fabricar las botas de rayos con la tobillera del viento, aglet y las botas de espectro lo hacen, ya que proporcionan un aumento de velocidad masivo que es aún más útil con las alas en modo difícil.

Eye of Cthulhu [[File:Eye of Cthulhu phases.gif]]
Entonces, una vez que hayas matado al Rey Slime, es de esperar que hayas obtenido la montura y el gancho, el Royal Gel es un 100% de la bolsa del tesoro; así que ahora ya no hay necesidad de preocuparse por los limos. Ahora, usa todos los cristales de vida que hayas obtenido, luego consigue muchas plataformas y haz 5-6 líneas rectas lo suficientemente cortas para que puedas saltar desde cada plataforma pero lo suficientemente altas para esquivar los ataques. Asegúrate de que tenga entre 200 y 400 plataformas de largo. Deberías estar usando las mismas armas que antes. Una vez que obtenga el Ojo de Cthulhu en su tercera forma, tenga cuidado con los ataques rápidos, ya que puede matarlo extremadamente rápido si carece de una cantidad promedio de salud y defensa. Solo sigue corriendo y esquivando los ataques. ¡Asegúrate de seguir atacando pase lo que pase! Una vez que lo hayas derrotado, arrojará Demonite o Crimtane Ore y el Escudo de Cthulhu. ¡Con el Escudo de Cthulhu recién obtenido, ahora puedes esquivar los ataques de los enemigos y causar daño si esquivas hacia ellos!

Material Gathering and/or Farm creating
At a few points in your playthrough you will encounter an item you want that is rare or that you require money to acquire. And there is one main way to get it, farming. So this is where the lava trap you used for the goblin army comes in useful, once a blood moon occurs, if you are above ground you just sit there and wait. Now it depends on what item you want. If the item is dropped by enemies from the granite or marble cave enemies then set up the same type of farm there. The same thing applies to any enemy in any biome. just set up a farm and then go afk. Now for another type of farm. Once you have gotten some gems it would be advised to go underground clear out an area around 400 tiles in length and around 13 tiles tall. fill the entire floor with stone then plant some gem corns (crafted with 1 of any gem and an acorn) space each gem sapling 3 tiles apart just like normal trees and then wait for them to grow (it is advised to afk at the lava pit farms while they grow). once the gem corns have grown full length go underground and harvest them, once you have harvested them add new gem corns (what you should do is focus on diamond and ruby gem corns as they sell for the highest price thus bringing in more money) and then go to the desert and get sand. make glass with the glass and gems and then make stained glass and sell it.

(Note that this was nerfed on PC, and no longer gives nearly as much money as it used to)

Upgrades
So now you have a steady stream of money coming in you should get upgraded tools. So start off by turning all demonite/crimtane ore obtained from the eye of Cthulhu into bars and craft 2 things, the axe and fishing rod out of their respective materials. For weapons craft either light’s bane/blood butcherer (swords) or malaise/artery (yoyos) or maybe even both if you want to, another option is to head into the jungle and collect jungle spores and stingers to craft a thorn chakram and amazon. As for ranger stick with the bows crafted from demonite/crimtane bars and we’ll get onto mage soon, but with summoner you can’t change much quite yet. Next is to use all of that cash to (hopefully) reforge your weapon to legendary (melee), unreal (ranger) and mythical (mage), then reforge all accessories until you have warding on each one for a large boost of defense now you have more defense make sure you have full platinum armor. Now for the mage upgrades you want to go into the corruption/crimson then go into the chasms/heart and find and break 2 shadow orbs/crimson hearts (DO NOT BREAK 3 YET AS IT WILL SUMMON THE EATER OF WORLDS/ BRAIN OF CTHULHU)

Eater of Worlds/Brain of Cthulhu
Go to The Crimson/Corruption and then make a huge arena above ground for Eater of Worlds/Brain of Cthulhu once you have made a Bloody Spine/ Worm Food go to your arena and summon the boss. Make sure to keep your distance from the boss and make sure to watch out for the vile spit from the Eater of Worlds, remember to continually hit the boss at all times. If in a Crimson world, you may use a flail to defeat the Creepers. Once you have reached the Brain's second phase switch to your ranged weapon of your class. If melee use a yo-yo, flail, boomerang, or any other ranged weapon for melee. If ranger use the most damaging gun or bow you have. For Corruption worlds. Be sure to have an arena that is 200 blocks wide, and when you fight Eater of Worlds be sure to stay on a platform above it. When above the worm use your best ranged weapons, the same weapons as Brain of Cthulhu. once it starts splitting into different segments make sure to switch to a weapon that has multiple projectiles (For example, prior to 1.4.1 a quad barrel shotgun may have been used for ranger). After you are done with the Eater of Worlds/ Brain Of Cthulu pick up the scales or brain tissue and make their respective armor and pickaxe.

''Advice from random guy(corruption): if you're not that good at dodging, you can dig a huge hole (borders must be out of your screen) and make a small box in a centre with a small hole to shoot at it. In this case EOW won't be able to get to you.''

Exploration
We should be safe enough to go exploring out into the unknown for a bit. Remember, If any mobs come nearby, Block yourself off. Don’t go into the jungle, as it is a easy way to massively fail this challenge. Don’t forget to also go underground as you can easily find red potions over there. Although one thing, DONT USE IT UNTIL BOSSFIGHTS (Unless you are literally about to die.).

'''Now we have a choice here. You can either go for skeletron THEN queen bee or Queen bee THEN skeletron. Personally I would do queen bee then skeletron, but it’s your choice. And it’s your call for your timing. Just do it eventually though.'''

=  Skeletron  =

If your fighting this before Queen Bee, its harder but still possible. You will (want but yeah) need a rail track system with campfires below the rails to heal you along with some heart lanterns if you can get extras but if you dont have max health at this point, I would go farming for it by this point cause the bosses can become a one shot if you dont get good armor and health points. If your fighting this after, use the bees knees. And farm the materials for a chest full of arrows. You will need it, believe me. get the Fastest Minecart you can get at the moment. This is because if you go at max speed, you can delete his arms (Not Confirmed, use this at your own risk). The more safe way is to make a bridge and get hermes boots. Then put campfires on it. Make it like 2000-5000 blocks big. Then use the shield of Cthulu to move back to the other side and not get one shoted by his arms if you somehow hit the end of the bridge. Once you defeat him, DO NOT ENTER THE DUNGEON. It may seem safe but believe me. There is going to be a lot of mobs down there that you probably dont want to deal with. Its more risk than it is a reward. ALTHOUGH, they do less damage at the moment, as I said earlier, Do this at your own risk.

= Queen Bee = Queen bee most of the time is a piece of cake but with the bonus speed and all of the bonus damage it can do, you are going to want to be careful. Bring potions. It will do a lot later on, believe me. I would make the arena for it huge if you can. Add honey to the lowest platform in the arena. Add campfires, and if you can, heart lanterns. I would personally be super careful as she can easily end you in one shot and make you rage. Use the Shield of Cthulhu to dodge his attacks. When you beat her, farm her until you get 1 and a half stacks of beenades, you'll thank me later.

'

= ''' Wall Of Flesh. (I wrote this like 500 times but it glitched lol) ''' =

If you have not already, prepare for the fight. Remember the beenades from last section? This is where they come in handy. If you throw them, they drop bees, and if you throw the beenade at the wall, it does damage, a ton of damage. This could be used to kill the wall. I would even go for two stacks if I were you, if you run out, its a certain death sentence. Once you believe its long enough, summon the wall. There is not much I can do once you start it so be careful. If you pull off beating this boss, open the bag and get your demon heart. It will give you another accessory slot.

= ''' Welcome To Hardmode! ''' =

Welcome to hardmode! Now ANY mob will one shot you with even the best pre hardmode tank setups, but it will be a whole lot harder to kill mobs, especially if you are doing multiplayer.

If I were you, I would get a bug net, get as much bait as you can, and fish for the bars instead. This will make you a lot more safe. Also, if you didnt get the nights edge already, get it now. It will be a life saver later on for the terra blade. Once you get enough loot from fishing, I have a move that could probably be amazing. You could make a rod of discord farm. Where they will teleport and fall into the lava where you are right below and if they drop it, you will pick it up. You dont have to do this, and plus, its kinda risky but its just a idea. If you dont want to make it, then I would get wings. It will do a lot of good later on for escaping.

= Boss arena building. = So I would set up all of the arenas before doing this, its better that way to be safe. Skeletron prime, make platform arena, for the destroyer, make a bridge with blocks and two platforms to shoot through, and the twins, platform arena. Place Campfires around the arena.

= ''' Preparation. ''' =

If you want to beat the mechanical bosses, you gotta prepare of course. Get the best armor you can because next boss, it will be queen slime, this boss is optional, although, I would completely recommend you fight this boss as it gives you very overpowered armor, the armor good enough to kill the mechanical bosses. You may need to kill it 2-4 times for the full armor set, it still will pay off in the end and that's what matters, right?



=  Queen Slime  =

This could be one of the hardest boss fights yet, as getting hit once by a attack will most likely kill you. If this is the case, you need some kind of movement strategy. The strategy to use is the minecart bumper strategy. Use the best cart you can get, then make a minecart track maybe about 100-200 blocks long, then bumper each part. Place campfires as always cause if you do end up getting hit and you somehow survive, this will heal you. Fight her at day, as fighting it at night will make it so you cant see some attacks and as we all know, you are bound to die if you cant see certain attacks. When you beat her (if you beat her), open the treasure bag, use the contents, and repeat this until you get the full set.

=  Mechanical Bosses Rush  = So we have armor, we have weapons, we should fight the bosses now. Use the arenas to your advantage. By the way, try to just avoid going near the twins as there is nothing you can really do about getting hit by it and technically it is the only escape. If you end up killing the three bosses, make the amazing Mechanical Minecart!!!

For the Destroyer, try to attack it when it is bunched up with the Dao of Pow or the Nimbus Rod and recall to a spawn point far away before the probes overwhelm you. Do so even if you were unable to kill the Destroyer in time, as it will not despawn and you can then finish it off far away without the ungodly amount of probes.

For Skeletron Prime, make a large arena from Dungeon Bricks. These are blast-resistant, so they must be used in order to avoid your world being obliterated.

For the Twins, use the Daedalus Stormbow with Holy Arrows and stay far away. Alternatively, the Clockwork Assault Rifle or Megashark with Crystal Bullets will work. Take out Spazmatism first; in the first phase, you can just fly up and down slowly while also going in one direction, making sure to dodge the cursed flame balls. In its second phase, you should always try to keep a distance, attacking it with ranged weapons (the Daedulus Stormbow may not be as useful for this phase). Then turn to Retinazer. When it begins shooting at you from above during its second phase, you should run along an asphalt bridge or use the Goat Skull mount, as you will outrun its lasers. However, make sure to fly up slowly during its horizontal rapid-fire bursts, as these will hit the player.

=  Exploration And Preperation V2  = It glitched, highlights are mainly explore the rest of the world, get these stuff

Ironskin Potion

Wings

Dart Rifle

Fight the solar eclipse as it gives great weapons like the Death Sickle. It might also be in your interest to get a rod of discord.

Dont forget to make the rest of the arenas too! Placing walls into the Plantera arena will take time but the decreased spawns might save your playthrough.

=  Plantera  = If you have gotten this far without cheats, you are like the 0.000001% of people who can make it this far. The challenges for the end are going to test whether this was all for a massive failure or a win. If the arena is huge, with campfires, and heart lanterns, your ready. Plantera will most likely one shot you so stay away from her at all costs. Use a ranged weapon. The first phase should be a peace of cake with a reasonably sized box, but the second phase will prove to be a lot harder. For this phase, the best strategy is to dig a long horizontal (or vertical) tunnel which you can just run along in one direction. If you run out of space, you can expand it downwards, so you can keep falling without Plantera catching up. Remember to keep your distance at all costs. If you get low, just magic mirror. If you beat this, open the bag and use the contents to your advantage.

=  Golem  = This will prove to be easy but getting in, will take a miracle to survive. If you get low, box yourself in and wait until you are at full to continue. Destroy any traps you see, they could mean the end of your run....  Loot any chests you see as well, they are quite overpowered to be quite honest with you. If you make it in the room, destroy all traps and make an arena with campfires and heart lanterns (using actuators to expand the box can significantly increase your chances of survival). As for weapons, use a weapon that has range and attacks very quickly, as golem's hands punch very fast and need to be repelled continuously. Dont be surprised, Golem pops out extremely small and dont get disgruntled. Dont underestimate this baby man and remember to magic mirror if you get too low. Class-specific examples are below:

Ranged:

Chain Gun or Sniper Rifle with Chlorophyte Bullets or Eventide with Wooden Arrows or Holy Arrows (the latter also pairs well with the Tsunami)

Magic:

The best weapons are the Nightglow, Spectre Staff, or Inferno Fork (The last two require a dangerous trip into the dungeon), although the Razorblade Typhoon or Razorpine both work. Spectre armour with the mask is recommended, as the extra projectiles spawned will repel the hands even quicker.

Melee:

Flairon, Terra Blade, North Pole, or Starlight (if you are able to get close to Golem)

Summoner:

The Terraprisma (if you are... able to obtain it) works extremely well. Alternatively, the Raven Staff will work.

=  Final Preperations  (Unfinished, In the making)  =

You know, I think it might be best to farm loot before taking on the cultists. We have a few optional bosses left like the empress of light, duke fishron. We also have quite a bit of events to do. Like the martain event, pirate invasion, but martain Saucers were buffed when 1.4 was added. The lasers go through walls. I came up with a strategy where you prepare two teleporters, and when it shoots the laser, when it gets like 10-5 blocks away from you, teleport (note, the teleporter should be about 20-30 blocks apart from the other teleporter.
