I want to like Terraria but building arenas for bosses is garbage. (2024)

I love building arenas, shaping the world so that you have the optimal conditions to kill its most powerful beings is cool

It takes 5 minutes

>game about digging and building makes you dig and build

Thanks to morons like you, now all the mods have boxes for all the bosses. How fricking boring but not as boring as everything slowly devolving into an immune boss that bullet hells you until time runs out and it auto dies after. Truly, the modding community has gone to sh*t.

>play sandbox game
>hate when have to sandbox

>place 1-4 20 tile long platforms
wooooooooow

The only boss who needs an arena built is plantera and the arena is actually just blowing up the jungle a bit.

Then don't? You might need to blow up some stuff to make space at times, but other than that gravity potion + git gud is sufficient.

>he doesn't just reuse his mine and dig tunnels in the shape of an arena
>he doesn't just use his npc commiebloc complex as an arena
>he doesn't just use wings and a flying mount
>he doesn't just fight in the ocean
>he doesn't just make a looping minecart track
>he doesn't just drink an antigravity potion
>he doesn't just hit gud

If you're seriously being filtered that hard by a core mechanic of the game then just install one of the several mods which make building arenas easy.

you just don't make one
learn the terrain around you and deal with it... or do you insinuate that you could get filtered by arenaless skelebro?
two exceptions might be Plantera and Golem and those are by design

Git gud and you won’t need to.

Don't build an arena then, the middle section of the map is a relatively flat plain flanked by 2 large hills, on a large map this area is big enough for all of your kiting needs. Set down campfires for light/regen and you're good to go, optionally add a platform layer above for maneuverability and anti-corruption barriers on each side so you can do biome-specific bosses without it leaking elsewhere

I hate the hardmode preperations like walling off the middle section with wood so the evil doesn't spread and making sure the jungle doesn't get fricked.

Building arenas is the best part. Building is useful unlike Minecraft.

>building arenas for bosses
Dishonest gameplay

Don't do it then you scrub

Pre-hardmode is the only good part of the game. They honestly should have simply kept expanding the depths.

I like it. It creates a proper incentive to actually build stuff unlike Minecraft. Same wirh rhe NPC houses.

I only use a couple. One big multi-stage arena somewhere near the middle of the map for bosses that can be fought there, some small platforms for Skeletron just to get off the ground (not a long pathway like a hom*osexual, though), some platforms in the Crimson for the Brain, and some space for Plantera (frick Plantera, though). Anything more than that is for turbocasuals.

2D Minecraft

Barring 3 or 4 bosses, complete skill issue

terraria fell off

minecraft won

okay so then don't do it??? you're not a sh*tter, right?

Meds, now.
