Summoning[]
The Torch God is summoned when the player places around 100 of any type of torch anywhere below the surface at 200 blocks deep.
Preparation[]
Terrain Preparation[]
- Open areas are useful as you have a lot of space to move around.
- Different torches have different flame colors. Crimson Torches are a bad idea to use, as the flames are almost impossible to see. Using Ultrabright Torches will give you an easy time to spot as they have very bright flames.
- Creating a loop of Minecart Track around the torches can be an effective way to dodge the fireballs easily.
- Circling the flames using Rope and Platforms is an easy way to avoid being hit.
Gearing Up[]
Armor[]
- An Ultrabright Helmet can be used for greatly increased vision at the cost of a possible higher defense helmet.
Accessories[]
- Items like the Shield of Cthulhu and Brain of Confusion will completely stop damage altogether with dodges and immunity frames.
Mounts[]
- The Slime Mount is the only helpful mount that can be obtained at that point in the game but is still useful for dodging the flames.
Hooks[]
- The Ivy Whip and Diamond Hook are good choices to help dodge the flames.
Potions[]
- Using Calming Potions will stop the extra enemies from spawning, allowing you to focus more on dodging.
- Vision-increasing potions like the Night Owl Potion makes the projectiles easier to spot.
- The Ironskin Potion will help you tank in case you get hit by a flame.
- Swiftness Potions are a good source of speed. It is used to dodge flames quicker so you don't get hit.
Tips[]
- Enabling autopause will be helpful to dodge the fireballs easily by planning your next move every time you open your inventory.
- Using Peace Candles will stop the extra enemies from spawning, allowing you to focus more on dodging.
Alternative strategies[]
- The projectiles can be easily avoided by placing all the torches in the center of your arena, building a large open space underground and moving in one direction (near the edges) during the event.
- Good additions to your arena are a rope ladder, as dodging the flames vertically is easy. Non-torch light sources, like lanterns and campfires, will help you to see better.
- If you make a house near the area you plan to fight, you can move the nurse in, thereby negating the need to dodge the projectiles at all, so long as you have a hook in order to negate knockback.
- If you set your spawn point with a bed nearby you can continue to fight even after you die.
- If you are having trouble beating the event by conventional means, a viable strategy is to build a 10 by 10 torch square with a minecart track circling it. Leave one torch out of the square until the track is complete.
