A beginner's guide to terraria pre-hardmode

Pre-Bosses

Below this header, you will find each major point of this phase of the game, please go from left to right as to not get confused and good luck on your journey Starting a new world will always be an interesting time, to say the least. Within the first few seconds, you can tell how bad or good your pre-boss time will be. I say that because it can be very very luck-based, you could very well get everything you could want. Or spend 10 hours caving and get absolutely nothing. When you first spawn, your goal should be cutting down a few trees, and possibly crafting wooden armor before going straight into the first cave you can see. While you're caving and likely dying to a plethora of traps, bats, and zombies. You should be breaking every pot you see and looting every chest.

Locating Accessories

Gold Chests

Gold chests, are of very high priority, as these carry accessories that you will need in order to beat this game.

Movement

Chosing your difficulty

The main accessory your looking for are Hermes Boots, as they increase your running speed. Which is almost necessary to beat the game.

Max Health

Life Crystals

These are your secondary objective. These glowing heart crystals are the only way to increase max health, thus giving you more room for error.

Ore Tiers

Teir 1

Your next objective is to gather ores, of which there are 4 teirs, each having 2 ores that could spawn in place of another. Your tier 1 ores are copper (the tools you started with) and tin

Ore Tiers

Teir 2

The tier 2 ores are Iron and Lead, which are needed to make an anvil. You can use anvil to create more metal tools and armor

Ore Tiers

Teir 3

The tier 3 ores are silver and tungsten, which are only really useful if you keep dying whilst caving

Ore Tiers

Teir 4

Your tier 4 ores are Gold and Platnium, which you will be making your starting gear with.

Caving goals

Everything you need

The above images are both the raw materials, armor, tools, and accessories you need to hunt for. Once you have them all you can begin exploring your world

Main Weapon

Enchanted sword shrine

The enchanted sword shrine can be located on the outer two-thrids of the world. there is a chance or a 1 by 1 hole to appear above the shrine. Inside the shrine you will find an enchanted sword, which will be used to fight the first few bosses in the game

Rare item

The Terragrim

When you look this shrine, there is a chance that instead of getting a standard enchanted sword, you will get a terragrim, which is a great upgrade to the enchanted sword itself. However the chances of this happening is quite low, so do not feel disapointed if you do simply get an enchanted sword. After aquiring your weapon, your ready to proceed to killing the first bosses of the game.
