Yeah, the Crimson is basically just purple, but red. Once you do that, it usually goes Dungeon, Underworld, Mechanical Bosses (must be manually summoned) Jungle, Jungle Temple (it's new), Dungeon again, End Boss.

It's not a bad idea to maybe look up a progression guide. The game really has changed a lot and if you didn't even know about the Crimson, there are a ton of new mechanics and tools you would never have run into before.

I looked 1 up but it was rather vague, I think maybe it was also old.

Am in jungle now, but will just kill Crimson boss (I assume it also spawns after 3rd broken orb).

Thanks

Not necessarily - a sufficiently large natural cave will be fine as long as you've got decent wings and hooks for mobility.

Ah, I came across a wall exploring the jungle that wasn't the dungeon but was impenetrable even by explosives. I guess this was it? Does it spawn on world gen or after hardmode?

Turns out one can kill hallowed/corrupt mimics rather effortlessly with a unicorn or WoF goat mount.. since it can go faster than their leap flight. I just go up from the underworld mining shards and killing stuff until I see one, aggro it with the starfury, then drop down and flee. Killed about 4 so far and it's quite fun.

Not sorry I chose a master mode world.. yet. It's certainly interesting.

I mean, if you're a successful actress and you go out of the house in a skirt and without underwear, knowing that paparazzi are just waiting for opportunities like this and that it has happened many times before, then there's really nobody you can blame for it but yourself.

It's always there, but you can only access it with a special key that drops from the Jungle boss. It's impossible to get into before that point. There should be a door near its top that you can get at but can't open. That's the entrance.

If I remember right a house needs to have a 2 wide by 3 tall block of squares that has solid floors, contains no furniture, and wouldn't be opened into by a door. The room might become valid if you moved the workbench one block to the left.

Workbenches definitely count. I've built 3 by 11 sized rooms with nothing but a chair, a workbench and two platform tiles to count as the necessary "door" to the room before and they were considered valid, so just having platforms shouldn't be the problem. Still, might be worth at least trying to replacing them with wood blocks to see if that does anything.

okay, moving the workbench made this into valid housing but how is this house valid then? the whole floor is occupied with furniture. or is a loom not furniture?

How do you beat the golem in 1.4?

Every time I search for it there are a bunch of cheesy strategies that apparently don't work in 1.4 so what are you meant to do? I can dodge his fists well enough but once he starts shooting lazers that pass through all walls I just get shot to poo poo and die.

I have turtle armour and a death sickle. Seem to be decent for this stage in the game from what I've read?

Turtle Armor is fine, but the death sickle is a blood moon weapon, so basically something you can get basically right from the moment you get into hardmode. It's really way outclassed at that point, in terms of base damage. You should try switching to some Chlorophyte weaponry and see if that helps any.

On the first one the chest (well, the platforms suspending the chest) was blocking having a 2wide3high spot with solid floor. No such problem on #2.

I found the Megashark with chlorophyte bullets to trivialize this, and most, boss fights up to here. After Golem this stops being true.

As for dodging lasers, I found that flying in arcs above and around him allowed me to keep firing my homing shark storm long enough to destroy him before he killed me.

Don't forget the black spot mount you can only get on master mode and the seventh accessory slot. It's worth it to play on master just for that mount alone

You can assign them to a particular room, but otherwise, not really. Getting as far away from them as possible helps, they just pop over into their new location after a point.

the way to doge golem’s lasers is to always be moving in an arch above him. you’re essentially circle strafing him. i find the fireballs to be the big problem since they’re really unpredictable

I just cheese the fireballs by hammering stairs next to walls on either side of my golem arena, so they pass through the wall but can’t return on a bounce.

For some reason I was able to kill the Wall of Flesh on my first try, but on every attempt since then I've failed. On the kill I had full Jungle with a demon scythe and a book of skulls, and now I have full Titanium with a Crystal Serpent so I don't know why I'm struggling now.Same buff potions and everything.

Easy, demon scythe pierces but crystal fish magic doesn't. The wall loves to block with all of its leech guys and tentacle mouths. Get a weapon that pierces.

"IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING SAVE CORRUPTION posted:

***Once a world is loaded in this corrupt state, and saved, this silent fail causes the loss of valuable information that can help us track down the problem. In 1.4.0.4 we added code that stops the loading once the fail is detected. This is why it appears that 1.4.0.4 is causing issues, when it is actually just flagging/blocking the issue above***

We are doing our best to track this issue down ASAP. If you have worlds that failed loading, PLEASE report these on the forums and attach both the .wld and .bak files to your report. This will be a tremendous help in tracking down and squashing this nasty bug, and we would greatly appreciate it!
