expert mode was introduced in the
Terraria 1.3 update for PC ps4 and the
upcoming Xbox one mobile and switch
versions of terraria enemies in this
mode get double hit points and double
damage in addition to some bosses having
more deadly AI and attack modes that
said this mode can be very rewarding if
you learn a few tricks pals young crew
this is Happy Days and today we're
looking at 30 awesome tips you must know
to help to defeat to various expert mode
when starting your expert mode world
quickly harvest lots of wood and craft
lots of wooden broad swords and bows
until you get high-quality modifiers on
them as there's plenty of wood you can
afford to try lots of times and it can
give you a massive early boost on the
subject of starting strong you can
easily upgrade your wooden arrows to
fire arrows using gel and to frost burn
arrows using ice torches did you know
only 23 enemies in the entire game are
immune to frostburn try it out the
demolitionist sells grenades for only 75
copper 8 and ideal a whopping 60
throwing damage they are incredibly
useful for finishing off early expert
mode bosses especially the eye of
Cthulhu that rapidly charges right at
you while you're almost guaranteed to
die in the process if you make your way
to the end of the world with a new
character and Yolo into the ocean you
can attempt to grab as much loot as
possible from ocean chests before you
drown if you are lucky enough to snag a
recoil potion along the way you can
recall it the last second to save
yourself from certain doom the king
slime rope hack still works simply build
a rope ladder about 30 blocks high off
the ground and shoot at it with arrows
preferably frostburn ones it takes a
while but a brand new character can
actually kill king slime this way
you know there's monster banners you get
for killing 50 of each enemy they are
massively powered up in expert mode
banners allow you to deal double damage
to enemies and have melee damage done to
your character using these during the
slime rain events can be a lifesaver for
newer characters eat up in expert mode a
life regeneration is half as effective
unless you have the well-fed buff active
for an easy way to get lots of food by
pumpkin seeds off the Dryad and plant
around your base pumpkin-pie gives you
the well-fed buff for 45 minutes valued
talking about region honey is one of the
best regenerative items in the game
simply place two buckets in a one by two
hole near any boss arena and run through
it as you battle the honey buff lasts
for 30 seconds and restores over a
single hitpoint a second it also sex
with campfires and heart lanterns the
shield of Cthulhu the expert only
dropped from the eye of Cthulhu is one
of the most powerful accessories in the
game in my opinion it allows you to
instantly dash on the ground or in
mid-air by double tapping left or right
it can also negate enemy melee damage if
you charge into them at the right moment
this even works on expert juke fish
wrong on the topic of movement items
dodging is extremely important in expert
mode as some enemies deal upwards of 200
damage per hit and beyond why defend
against damage when you can avoid it
completely
I would prioritize getting items like
the shield of Cthulhu boots cloud in a
bottle and any type of gem hook some
weapons and armors that are considered
overpowered in normal mode can actually
help you survive in expert mode an
example of this is the mesial armor
space gun combo to attempt to get this
powerful equipment early simply smash a
shadow orb or crimson heart and at
midnight in your world you have a 50%
chance then a meteorite will land you
can then farm that meteorite or and
craft all the equipment that you need
while we're on the topic you can freely
smash as many shadow orbs and crimson
hearts as a new character to collect the
loop as long as you don't mind dying
every three orbs or hearts to the bosses
they spawn the molten armor a strong pre
hard mode armor set can easily be
acquired very early on if you fish for a
river shark in the ocean and then
carefully make your way to the
underworld and mine up the house stone
or there I recommend setting a spawn
point as you will easily die in one to
two heads for most enemies down in the
underworld if you go with a brand new
character an oldie but a goodie make
sure to check the dungeon in your world
for an easy water bolt this weapon can
make easy work of the first three bosses
if you create a square box arena to
bounce the water bolts around in
although generally you know
nor item for a lot of players creating
the ankh shield is generally worth it in
expert mode as enemy debuffs lasts twice
as long in your character and have a
higher chance of occurring some debuffs
can now last up to 10 minutes debuffs
like slow or broken armor can almost be
an instant death sentence in expert mode
so the unskilled can be a real lifesaver
did you know rare items are a lot more
common in expert mode especially the
ankh charm components which are twice as
likely to drop from enemies the slime
sloth is also slightly more common but
it's still crazy rare at seven thousand
to one drop chance Skeletron can be an
insanely difficult boss for players new
to expert mode I recommend having two
layers of platforms about 20 blocks
apart near the dungeon and using a
grappling hook and the shield of Cthulhu
to give you plenty of mobility during
the battle if you do get caught by the
spinning head attack you can try and
grapple a platform to desperately try
and escape good luck in normal mode
certain events have restrictions placed
on them so they don't spawn when the
character isn't ready for example slime
rain won't happen until your character
has 140 hit points and at least eight
defense but in expert mode it can happen
at any time it can be a great idea to
set up a basic arena around your base
early on in case things get a little bit
out of hand your defense statistic is
actually more effective in expert mode
giving you a higher damage reduction so
stacking armor and warding accessories
can help but remember enemies also deal
double damage so dodging attacks is
still your best way to go
the wall of flesh drops the amazing
demon's heart consumable granting you a
6 accessory slot in expert mode worlds
this is an incredible advantage and
frees up an accessory slot to use an
item like the worm scarf or shark tooth
necklace the expert mode celestial
pillars are brutal you need to defeat a
hundred and fifty enemies and they deal
insane amounts of damage
luckily the shiny stone and expert only
item from Gollum is a quick way to
massively heal back up with a 40 hit
point per second heal on the boundaries
of each pillar zone for a treat
heal up and get back in there a simple
tip but one that can get you lots of
blue
in expert mode regular pots have tons
more items in them this can be a great
way to stock up on the basics early on
in your adventure the pots in the
underworld can regularly drop some
high-level potions like heart reach so
it's definitely worth your time to smash
them all be careful the developers have
reduced the power of life stealing items
in expert mode the vampire knives
inspector armors healing hood will heal
you for less couple this with the
increased enemy damage and you may just
want to skip them altogether and focus
on dealing more damage yourself the hive
pack and expert only item from the queen
bee boosts the power of all be related
items by occasionally spawning more
powerful bees a great strategy is to
farm several queen bees and stock up on
beam aids the beekeeper and the bee's
knees to unleash B fury on Skeletron
these will serve you well right up until
the wall of flesh and beam aids are very
useful against it the shrimpie truffle
and expert on the item from Juke Fishman
is one of the most powerful mounts in
the entire game he gains incredible
speed and boost your damage when it
touches water or if your remaining
health is under 50% some players like to
add water to their arenas to take
advantage of the extra speed and damage
once the royal gel the expert only item
from the king slime is kind of generally
useless it is incredibly useful in the
underworld
as the lava signs actually spawn lava
upon death in expert mode this creates
complete havoc when you try to make a
wall of flesh arena as the lava from the
slimes will destroy all you campfires
torches and platforms you'll have to
rebuild them it's so useful the Amarok a
hard mode yo-yo has a 1 in 300 chance to
drop from any enemy in the snow biome
this yo-yo deals great damage and can
inflict the frost burn debuff simply
farming I slimes on the surface can net
you this yo-yo or you can venture deep
underground and battle the tougher
enemies talking about early hard mode
weapons collect 15 souls of light to
make a key of life when put inside an
empty chest it will spawn a hallowed
mimic which allows you to easily farm
them one of its items the Daedalus storm
bow is one of the most powerful bows in
the entire game and can be acquired
right
to the wall of flesh I'm up with holy
arrows and you'll be completely
unstoppable fighting the destroyer first
is generally advised as the souls of
Micah drops can be used to craft a Mega
Shark
this gun is extremely powerful and can
be loaded with insane ammunition like
the armor shredding I call bullets or
the homing clarified bullets in my
opinion you will likely keep this gun
until the vortex beta becomes available
in the endgame as most players skip the
chain gun for this now once you start
hard mode you can take up to titanium or
Adamantite armor without fighting any of
the mech bosses it's generally advised
for you to take the time and power up
especially if your world has titanium as
the set bonus this armor allows you to
completely avoid damage every 30 seconds
with the shadow dodge ability this means
you can avoid as much as one to two
hundred damage from the mech forces this
is an insane buff I love it remember
guys that excellent mode can initially
be difficult when you first try it
but once you get used to the increased
difficulty you'll never look back and
you'll become a better terraria player
in the process well there you have it
