My outer colonies have finally got so big civilian mining colony was established in other system than Sol. And this mining site will be there for a while.

And you let the civilians get ahold of that? You're probably going to regret missing out on all those minerals down the line.

Amberly approached Claude nervously.

: "The Abbess just sort of assumed I would be going with your crew, but she can't really force you to bring me on this quest. Will there be any problems with me tagging along for a while longer?"

Gordon moved back and forth, touching up everyone's injuries.

"Tha was too damn close..."

Those pirates were brutal. I must have half a dozen gravestones scattered about just from the one invasion.

On the bright side, one of them dropped a Legendary Cutlass. So that's nice.

God...dammit.

The Destroyer spawned while I was trying to farm Ice Golems (I have enough cores for a full set of Frost Armor, which I'm thinking of switching to for the ability to deal DoT). I decided to try and go for it, climbing up to the nearest sky island and raining fire down with Jester, Hellfire, and Holy Arrows. The worm itself couldn't reach me, but its probes could go through blocks and attacked. Every once in a while, I'd mirror back to my base so the nurse could heal me.

Now, I've had zero luck with Mimics. They rarely spawn, and when I do find them they're inevitably surrounded by swarms of other enemies that kill me first. I've died twice in a row to Medusas, in fact; one stoned me mid-air while I fell into a cavern, causing me to die on impact with the ground, while the second caught me off-guard in the middle of a large melee and I died before the debuff could wear off. So things like the Philosopher's Stone and the Stormbow just haven't had any opportunity to be found. My equipment remains exactly as it was before.

I *almost* won against the Destroyer. It was damn close. Nearly 3am, its HP was down in the low reds and I was firing Hellfire Arrows non-stop as it trapped me within my base. I was dealing something like 879 DPS, according to the DPS counter. And I died. As the Destroyer fled and despawned, it sort of spasmed and killed like five NPCs all at once. Insult to injury, I guess.

So I wound up wasting something like nine hundred arrows and half a stack of Greater Healing potions for absolutely fuck-all. My base is only half-populated. And now a pirate invasion is approaching. Fantastic.

Switch characters, play a mission or two, then try and switch back?

No. No no no no no. I am not in Expert Mode. I am not skilled enough for that. It's also a Crimson world, so anything with Corruption equipment is a no-go.

My world spawned Adamantine, not Titanium. Short of fishing forever, Titanium armor is also a no-go. I barely got enough titanium together for a repeater.

I'll try hunting for that Stormbow, I guess.

Are Leaf Wings substantially better than Fairy Wings?

Alright, so I'm in hard mode now and once again I'm banging my head against the mechanical bosses. I need tips.

Most of the guides I've read recommend hooking up heart and star statues to timers, so you have a steady supply of recovery items in the course of the battles. The problem is, I have zero heart or star statues. There's no easy way to find them either; spelunker potions and metal detectors don't even light up statues, and the underground is so dangerous now that blind digging can lead me straight into a mob of deadly foes.

I have a full set of adamantine armor now, with some defensive accessories pushing my defense up into the 50s. Short of grinding money until everything is Warding, I don't think I can expect to push it up much higher until Hallowed armor and later.

As far as other equipment goes, I have fairy wings (I can farm wyverns pretty well now, though not without some occasional healing) and frostspark boots. Weapons include Night's Edge, Titanium Repeater, Flamelash, Water Bolt (too weak for hard mode, but the bouncing and infinite piercing still come in handy) and this magic sword called Sky Fracture. I also still carry around the sword that got me through normal mode, the Bee Keeper - while it doesn't deal nearly as much damage as the Night's Edge, it autoswings, summons bees on striking an enemy and it can also cause confusion, which does wonders for crowd control but is useless against bosses. Got a bunch of other weapons as well, but most of them are a bit weak for hard mode and I mostly keep them out of sentimentality.

I have a small stockpile of standard buff potions: ironskin, regeneration, endurance, etc. My small herb farm keeps me supplied on the basics. I have more fish than I could possibly eat for the Well Fed buffs. I have campfires, Heart Lamps, and Bottled Stars for as much passive regen as I can manage.

Now you know my situation. What should I do next?

Yesterday my psion finally got to use his powers offensively (as opposed to mind wiping people in an attempt to remain undetected).

I can't say I soloed the encounter, but I did kill every single enemy (a group of two archers, two demi-rogues (lightly armored fighters), an evil cleric, and the boss) in two turns. It cost roughly a quarter of my daily power points, but it worked.

I accidentally summoned the Wall of Flesh again. This time, I killed it and triggered hard mode.

I have died many times since then.

...Huh.

Took a Teleportation potion. Wound up in a spot in the Cavern layer that I'd never seen before, right next to a ruined cabin. As I make my way around to the entrance, I spot a Granite Golem. I attack it, kill it, move over to collect its loot...

And then the floor explodes beneath me. Despite max pre-hardmode HP and Crimson Armor, I am one-shot.

Before that, I was exploring the Underworld, trying to locate Shadow Chests for a second visit and gathering bits of Hellstone. At one point I am attacked by a Voodoo Demon, which unfortunately is killed while hovering over a small lava pit. I make a mad dash to catch the voodoo doll it is carrying, but I am too far away. The Wall of Flesh is summoned, and I am entirely unprepared. I still manage to knock off about half its HP before I fall into an unusually large lava pit and die.

Both deaths are in Terraria.

You don't actually need hooks to make gem grappling hooks. FYI

Amberly sighed. Even for someone with as little experience with strangers as herself, she could tell that things were likely going to be difficult between the privateers and the newcomer noblewoman. The nun half-wished that the Abbess had found someone else for this particular assignment.
