- I spent 24 hours in Hardcore Terraria, while also playing on Master Mode, Terraria's hardest difficulty. Can we beat the game with just a single life, let's find out!
When I'm working on bigger projects like this sometimes there can be quite a bit of delay between videos. That being said, I stream these challenges every other day on Twitch so you can always keep up with me there if you're interested!

If you get a spider staff early on, and just have it ready when you spot a turtle like this, it will stunlock it in a way that prevents its spin.
Spider caves are pretty dangerous in master mode tho, especially with the added enemies like wraiths/skeleton archers trying to aditionally kill you
@@lkf7775 skeleton archers are like 90 percent of my deaths in master mode i hate em so much
@@lkf7775 You can just farm spiders without them hitting you
@@electroraptor71 True, but the main difficulty is actually locating the cave. Undergrounds in hardmode are insane without any good armour to begin with
@@lkf7775 i mean you can just prep for farming the spiders in pre-hardmode, no?
The casual way that turtle hopped up into the fishing shelter to wreck Gungnir's day was honestly hilarious
I got real life mad bc of that
Ah yes, hardcore master mode. The challenge we all want to attempt deep inside, but are too afraid to lose 100+ hours of progression in a fraction of a second
100+ hours?
Nah, i don't worry about losing more than a couple of hours worth of progression
Next he should try Legendary mode with no immunity frames and if he dies he destroys his PC with a hammer and burns all his money.
@@Andreirulespoop_alt even better, getfixedboi
@@StarMoonBlox i mean getfixedbro is legendary mode
I mean my 77th attempt was roughly 30 hours, 79 was the victorious one at 21. most were below 1 hour, some less than 10
it would take me 14 attempts to get to where you got. Actually 14 sounds way too low for someone like me.
Hey Adrian love your vids bro
No way you do that in 14 attempts, It'll at least take you... No wait scrap that it's impossible.
bruh i spent 28 hours over preparing in pre hard mode and i still died (from a unicorn)
Your actually really good at the game when I started I was happy when I killed the skeletron lmao
@@pochita8721 hmm yeah skele not not that big of a boss
finally someone else, other then happy, who actually does this right.
Happy?
@@acemuffins3840 happydays i would assume
@@acemuffins3840 Happydays the terraria TH-camr
he never finished though
@@banana5757 he said he’s been working on it
Sad thing is the death could’ve been avoided by just having a two block platform gap to fish through instead of a 4 block gap
it's possible to fish through a 1 block gap
or just have a door to the right instead of blocks (with gaps for some reason?)
@@BestBoi8 LMAO WHY DO I KEEP FINDING PEOPLE THAT I SAW ON ANOTHER VIDEO
HIS BIGGEST FEAR OF DYING FROM A TURTLE HAS HAPPENED... YOU LITERALLY JINKXED IT
Yeah in the next attempt he will be traumatized by the turtle but thats good and makes him like even more super carefull in the jungle post HM
coolllll
whew. I'm glad I didn't read the comments until after I watched the video.
More like great post production editing ;)
@@DemolisherDeni I did not watched the stream, but I would bet he mentioned the turtle before fishing in the jungle.
"Do everything to be safe"
*Makes the hole for fishing wide enough for any enemy to get in*
6:55 Fun fact: Curse actually has a sort of bypass: It only affects items within your inventory. Accessories like Shield work fine, and you can still use Cthulu dash to defend against getting killed while waiting for Curse to end
Sees Terraria Mastermode Hardcore:
Me: This is where the fun begins
The moment i saw that tortoise + the measly shack for fishing i thought "thats how it ends"
And the moment it dropped into the water just confirmed it more in my head
I swear tortoise AI is terrifying they check all angles to find an opening
I also thought it would be a derpling phasing through the blocks
OH NO DON'T YOU EVEN TRY TO START ME ABOUT SLIMES INTHE GROUND
I understand how you feel Gungnir, dying to that Turtle at the end. I had a hardcore master mode character with 800 ish hours on it i think (the only reason why it was that high is because i played it incredibly safe, every fight i would do i had max buffs, and i was not very good, i was just cocky at the time). I was at Lunatic Cultist, the boss itself was easy, the problem was my minion hit the wrong Cultist, summoning the Phantasm dragon, which ultimately killed me in the end just as i recalled. I was so upset that i took 2 months from terraria. I tried again after, this time i had practised a bit and was better at the game. I made it back to the lunatic cultist with i think 400 to 500 hours on the character, i forgot since it was november at the time. I killed the lunatic cultist, and beforehand i already set up AFK farms that i used to kill the pillar enemies. Moon lord came along, and i was fighting him for 45 minutes straight i think, either that or it was an hour. I had made an arena packed with everything i could use, including the dryad and the nurse (In hindsight, they would have not helped at all as the moonlord could basically 2 hit me before i could heal, so yeah). I eventually killed the moon lord and was so fucking happy. To celebrate, i made a new world and found a boulder trap.
The last thing i did was take off all my armour, and accessories, and let myself die to the boulder.
Weird way to celebrate but congrats man.
I did it as a way to free myself from the stress, but it was also a funny joke death that i can laugh at without feeling sad
What a fibber!
@@rohanstoke7939 ive seen other people celebrate similarly
I’m glad you swung around, finished your journey, and ended on a sweet note!
If he beats FTW Master Mode Hardcore in less than 30 attempts, I'm dropping another gift bomb.
he didnt play ftw in the first place
@@chopfleavods9947 but he could
What ftw?
@@BobOddishButDead for the worthy its a special seed that makes every enemy harder like golem being a tiny piece of sh*t, making slimes 1 hit ko you with platinum armor and etc
Isn't Journey Mode FTW set at Master difficulty even harder?
Hey Gungnir, it's Zardyn from your streams, you call me Zardie :D
This was a really impressive and awesome run! This is my favorite way to play Vanilla, I've played like 200 runs, over half of which ended quickly before Hardmode for obvious reasons.
I have a few tips if you're interested! Here they are, all 14:
1. Getting past early Prehardmode is always the hard part, but basically, you have the strategy down. Dangersense is a LIFESAVER, and Warding on everything is always the way to go.
2. Assume EVERYTHING can kill you, even if you're post Moon Lord, and deal with each obstacle one at a time! If you keep your distance and your health topped off, you should be fine, but never underestimate the power of a simple Skeleton or a few Slimes.
3. Always keep a pressure plate on hand! Pressure plates are wiring items, so if you hold one, you can see all traps and are never caught off guard. A good budget option until you get Dangersense and/or Grand Design!
4. Don't do the dungeon Prehardmode. Cobalt Shield is amazing and the knockback immunity is amazing, but wait until you have Adamantite armor before doing so.
5. I find the safest method of getting through the Early Hardmode phase you died at is... what you were doing! Fish, fish, fish. Getting crates is the safest way to get geared up, and the best way to take the mech bosses is with Adamantite (Ranger). The only issue you had was there was a space for enemies to get through, take care of that then your strat is seamless.
6. Don't hesitate to grind for accessories such as the ice turtle shell, which is a great component for a great shield later on. Ankh Shield is a good accessory too, but it's by no means required, and it can take too long and be too risky sometimes.
7. The first Mech boss you should fight is the Destroyer, and how I do it is I get Daedalus with Holy Arrows (Still the best weapon even post nerf), and build a platform that he can't quite reach with barriers on each side to block probe blasts. The key to the fight is PATIENCE! Burn the probes whenever you see one, THEN fire at the boss. If the platform turns out to be in the wrong spot, get Destroyer to despawn then try again. Even if you doubt the platform a LITTLE bit, don't take the risk, just reset to avoid losing the run.
8. After Destroyer is dead, craft the Hallowed Repeater and use Ichor arrows to take out the Twins. I find the best strategy is to build a platform in the sky all the way across the world made out of asphault with two wooden platform layers above it, 6 blocks inbetween. Just run and dodge while shooting, same armor.
9. After the Twins you might be able to afford full Hallowed armor, if so, craft it. The dodge it offers makes it by FAR the best set in Hardmode, I use it up to Moon Lord.
10. Skeletron Prime fight is really just the same strategy you use for Skeletron, spin to win. Just circle him and use Holy Arrows until all limbs are gone, then switch to Ichor Arrows.
11. After then, to be honest, the risky parts are mostly over! The Plantera strategy you've used in the past works seamlessly, and Golem is... Golem...
12. Don't fight Empress of Light in Hardcore, maybe try it after Moonlord with Vortex armor for an extra bonus fight for beating the run.
13. The hardest part of Hardmode is the pillars. Honestly, just sit at the edge of the pillar spawn zone and lure a few mobs out at a time to kill them safely. The easiest is Stardust pillar because you can just kill cells and wait for them to regen for infinite kills. After that point, just burn down the pillar. Use the stardust dragon summon to help, having a summon active NEVER hurts. The rest of the pillars are just luring out enemies and killing them systematically, then burning down the pillars as quickly as possible. I find using Cosmic Car Key helps with mobility, but don't use it against solar. Don't go in the air for Solar pillar much, because that's when the Crawltipedes get you.
14. And for Moon Lord, honestly the easiest boss of the run if you use a good strategy. Mine is this:
I craft the Daybreaker and wear full Hallow Melee armor, and then use the Mech cart on a minecart platform across the sky and shoot the Daybreaker at the Moon Lord until he dies. Make sure to build sections where you bounce OVER the Moon Lord at each end of the world, or he'll catch you, some clever hammering will do it. You can make it work pretty easily.
And there you go, that's all the tips I have to offer! Wishing you the best of luck on your runs Gungnir, I hope to catch you using these tips on stream. See ya 'round, man!

> wide fishing platform in the jungle that isn't completely sealed off
i find it funny that you made all this preparation for the underground jungle because of the turtle but refused to see the open space of the surface as an equal threat
I would say "Imagine doing this on Journey-Master-For the worthy", but I feel like it'd trigger a post traumatic episode in people that already have.
You can't do journey mode and master mode only one or the other
And hardcore characters can't join a journey world.
@@electroraptor71 That's not true. Journey mode has a difficulty slider that can pick whichever difficulty you like. The hardest difficulty is actually maximum difficulty journey mode, which is 20% harder than master mode. Nice try, though.
@@electroraptor71 It’s clear that you don’t play the game
@@msaocer You can't blame him. He's right that only Journey Mode characters can play in Journey mode, he just forgot that you can change the difficulty inside Journey Mode.
For the TH-cam only people-attempt 4 was the best but Gung will likely not show it
We need to campaign for an attempt 4 movie
ah yes the attempt where he spent 2 hours grinding for a blessed horse apple
At 8:50 in the video the way the lava and the ash are generated look like a skull. That's very fitting for the challenge he's doing.
💀
10:07 axe: *is in hell*
also axe: "this is perfect chopping weather"
for future reference: when fishing, especially in the jungle, hoik fish instead (your bobber should be able to pass through hoik walls). it's far safer than the open platforms
Or, even better, just don't fish in the jungle lol
Just build the walls and ceiling out of dirt and no one can catch you lol (except evil snatchers)
As someone who’s beaten hardcore master mode, I can confirm it is very painful, the latest point i’d ever lost a character before beating the game was in the post plantera dungeon, killing plantera in master mode is like entering hardmode all over again, almost everything will 2 shot you. Also I didn’t actually fish for hm ores, instead I was just always ready to recall, used any invisibility or calming potions I could, and got the bare minimum of each ore required. A tip for if you ever do mine, until post mechs hell is probably one of the far safer biomes in hm. Also I can relate to dying to an explosive trap in the jungle, it was actually my first every post queen bee death, very sad. Hope you beat it! It feels a whole lot more worth it once you have.
Also getting to hm in 3 attempts is really good! For me it took about seven or eight attempts.
Post-one mech* if you mean lava bats and red devils
Also you actually needn't to go into dungeon after Plantera, if you got the keys just make the safe tunnel
You're my favorite terraria youtuber btw, I really like your commentary style, and you don't do any pet peeves that irk me I notice in other youtubers.
That casual Turtle evisceration was PAINFUL
You're a mad lad. I'll be very much anticipating more of this run!
Now beat calamity in malice mode hardcore
i gave this a try. detahmode Hardcore 1.4.7. died to hardmode :D Still impressive and on first try.
this was amazing dude- great job!
Hey gugnir, figured id give some tips that I use in hardcore: when in a fishing safe box, only make a 1 block hole to let the fishing line out and stand a few blocks away from it, this will stop enemies from getting in and projectiles wont hit you. I also recommend getting a whip loadout with the spinal tap and a crystal vile shard or it's pre-hm counterpart. Very usefull for farming from a safe place without getting hit. whips can hit through walls if there is a small one block gap that and the whip is swung through it( this is hard to pull off and incosistent tho). Great vid as always.
If a goblin army occurs he still has to worry about the summoners and the sorcerers
Agreed with the fishing. But instead of having a 1 block gap for farming enemies, why not just use a hoik with a ranged weapon for the extra security (I don't know if whips are compatible with hoiking, but it's worth a shot.)?
@@ZudinGodofWar all you have to do is stand in a box with lava underneath you or with minions outside and swing a flail around or you could use an inferno potion to block all the projectiles.
@@coppertuna1252 that might work actually i should try that.
@@Birdbrain-ss7np did it work
happy to see another gungnir upload :) great vid as usual
Some early game tips
if u find a gravity potion u can raid the floating islands early for a starfury/fledgling wings making the early grind a bit easier
Early game underground ice zone if ur strip farming is the easiest cuz worms rarely spawn and ice bats glow to show u where openings are
Tip: you can actually fish trough a one block wide gap, you have to stand on top of it and you have to place your cursor in a weird way (depending if the gap is on the left or in the right of the player)
Where you at, Bro???
master mode wof is easier if you use necro armor and hellwing bow as well as terraspark boots, fledgling wings, brain of confusion/worm scarf, obsidian shield (to prepare to get ankh shield in hardmode, band of regeneration, healing potions, imp staff, the buff potions of your choosing, and lastly get the exquisitely stuffed buff from your choice of food item (i'd recommend burgers, as they don't waste golden critters and can be farmed pretty easily)
2:58 yep…. once it one shotted my character with endgame gear (solar armor) no joke those things are…
3:24 Yes, my first Queen Bee fight... I had 20 defense (expert mode summoner playthrough, only a snapthorn and finch to my name), and saw that 1 charge hit whacked my health from 400 to about 310. I realised I wasn't ready and used a magic mirror. But the boss bar didn't go away. I looked at the map, thinking it was a bug and then BAM! She was already past the jungle, about 460 blocks away in the desert, I closed the map and she arrived not 10 seconds later, and those stingers may as well have been Duke Fishron's bubble attack.
always make the bottom entrance two tiles wide, or maybe even have a one tile block to cast your line and a more secure entrance in particularly hostile scenarios. I learnt this the hard way, and now so have you.
Love the videos, keep it up, you inspired me to pick up terraria again.
You dont do the maximum amount of difficulty, you need to use the "for the worthy" seed, then you are truly a master.
man I remember watching your old videos where it was some guide for a weapon with the kevin Macleod music in the background, you've come a long way
You are a legend amongst terraria players ! Keep it up and better luck next time :)
I've not played this game in quite awhile but I feel the pain. I once choked on a expert mode, hardcore yo-yo only run fighting Moon Lord. over thirty hours down the drain. Eventually I got it done though. Keep it up, there is something rather satisfying about hardcore runs in this game. Maybe I should reinstall and give mastermode a go.
Me who can’t even beat classic mode on easy without dying:
“Looks easy enough”
You just should prepare.
finally! i missed your vids so much!
Ouch, that ending. I would have just fished through a single block though, cause master mode hardcore is so creepy.
Furthest I've gotten, is just before WoF, haven't dared try beating it, never felt ready enough, I like your bee strategy though.
Water Bolt also does some good work against WoF. Launch it at the ceiling for a good angle of attack.
Furthest I got too. Died finishing the hellevator when my imp minion summoned the wall which I never considered, and I didn't know you can't teleport home. Died in the desert underground very stupidly after getting back to 400 hp. Decided the map was no longer hardcore, I forgave the first oversight. Only boss other than the wall I didn't do was the golem I think. Also I too fish like a coward, say early game in the mushroom biome or something, I was thinking the same thing, single block hole is enough. I can confirm the bees, bow, summon beeswax set, wasps and the accessory that improves friendly bee damage worked great for skeletron. I think imp staff may have been better cuz wasps are not bees though, not sure. Skeleton was too fast for my liking the one time I had faced him, so I went minion to focus on moving. Think it could shred the wall with the accessory, just the bow and nades.
So glad I can catch up on content I missed out from the livestreams I couldn't catch
Damn, this really hurt at the end, little tip, still fish in hard mode but if it’s in the jungle or caverns sleep till the next day for a new quest
i want more of this! keep up the hard work
For fishing, you can make a safe box by hammering a couple of blocks to make a very narrow tube for the bobber and only the bobber to fit through
My first best attempt of hardcore master ended at martian invasion, I got really surprised by the saucer you can't hide from. Second best attempt was sweaty at the moonlord but I got out victorious. Good luck in your attempts!
Martian madness is useless especially on hardcore
Really enjoyed. Subscribed!
This is going to be insane to watch!
6:55 brain of confusion was super clutch with the confuse
I'm just here to boost early engagement, your videos are really good.
Despite it being short this was entertaining to watch. Should upload the next attempt as a series.
Gungnir and Yrmir Rhymes so.. They are brothers :>
This guy is going to keep terraria alive
I don’t think a top 10 best selling game of all time needs to rely on a guy who barely uploads to survive
Games pretty boring most of the time so I'd agree
3:18 from my experience in my master world with Queen bee, I would agree that she scary
This man worked so hard he deserves so more likes
You are absolutely my favorite creator
For queen bee you can make a second arena with a bed ( Also in the jungle ) so you have a second to heal before the queen bee can get to you.
But it’s a hardcore run, a bed wouldn’t be useful in an arena since you can’t respawn. And there would be no need to teleport to a new arena to heal because why would you start a boss fight without full health
@@DantheManZ-wn6zg u can mm, or recall to a bed, and also if u get low you can Tele to the second arena and use natural heals like honey, campfires, heart lanterns, ect while the boss is flying to you. It's an easy way to get some breathing room.
@@EnvyyTouchedMe Tru Tru
While I was watching the queen bee fight, I remembered that the meteor armor buff for the space gun, can be applied to the zapinator. At least the last time I checked
Why did you make the opening so big!!! Lmao nuuuu you can fish out of a one block gap.... dang that was good tho gg can't wait for the other one
As an avid fisher, I saw your end the minute I saw your fishing platform. You figure out pretty quick the standard fishing platform won't work in the jungle. You pretty much have to block off the entire lake so tortoises can't get in the water.
Oof this is his latest upload? You're amazing dude keep it up!
You’re patience is immeasurable
Congratulations on making it this far Gungnir!
One tip I had to learn the hard way is: Make a Grand Design. It allows wires to be seen and edited anywhere on screen.
if you didnt see he had one when he died lmao
@@nothinghere5080 No I didn't 😛
Love your channel. More master mode please!!
Gungnir: fights boss
Lucy the axe: Hehehe.. Chop Chop Chop
bro I quite literally gasped when that tortoise hit, I feel so bad all that progress omg
btw the wall of flesh instakill happens in any difficulty (at least on mobile), I used to play terraria with my sister and this happened to me when I tried to recall from the wall
The fact that u made it that far in 26 hours is really surprising. I've done a run called sashcore which is 0 armor 100 life runthrough with many limited things and it took me roughly 2k hours to just to get to post skeletron prime. and 3k hours just to finish the run.
no way it took that long!
That was great :) thanks for the video
7:00 omg that made my heart stop imagine if all his efforts went to waste
I like how he talks about his bad bezor luck but in my original main world i looked for weeks of time spent searching, not including any time not spent actively looking and never found one
i know the feeling. I've made it up to planterra on hardcore mastermode then died to chattering teeth bomb after feeling pretty confident i'd do it this time. Safe to say I haven't gone back since that death
Tip if you ever found a dead man's chest check for dynamites underneath, break it then box yourself in with the chest using blocks so you wont get hit by boulders and dart
Hey man you should do a vods channel so everyone can watch the full stream before the edited version.was thinking about this when I was watching your masochist mode playthrough,hilarious btw but I sooo wanted to see every detail of the adventure, alas there was no such channel plus it’s extra views so I don’t see why not.
Recently beat my first hardcore playthrough. Only on classic but I'm still pretty proud of that.
Cool video to watch, thanks for sharing
We needed this
“Nothing can go wrong if your just fishing right.” Famous last words
Reminding me of how my furthest hard-core run ended when a spider gave me the cursed debuff and killed me while I was collecting souls of night for destroyer 😞
You forgot another luck factor- the chance to dodge from the Brain of Confusion.
If that had've proc'd, you would've been 100% fine
I was here live and it was the most fun.
hey, do you plan on doing another series on calamity with the new updates, maybe do a ranged playthrough? i bet a lot of us would love to see this happening!!
I feel like if big servers are a thing, QB is a massive troll. Someone could summon it while others are farming or decorating or whatever, then accidentally die or intentionally leave the world. QB doesn't despawn and didn't kill everyone in the world so she'll go after a random player, likely one who isn't prepared for her. Could you imagine fishing and seeing "Queen Bee has awoken" and figuring "Oh, someone's just farming. Maybe for Bee Armor." only to then see "Troll has left the game" then having an angry royal bee trying to murder you? Like, bruh, I was minding my own business. XD
Don't feel bad about the dynamite trap, I've had 2 dozen-hour hardcore runs ended by those. An invisible instant 400 damage is a bit dumb imo.
Gungnir: *plays as ranger*
Other youtubers: *play as summoner because of the low defense
I tried hardcore on the "Drunk seed" (Cause it's really easier to get plant seeds) and Plantera is horrible, my advice: "make your Plantera arena around 6 queen bee arenas sizes"
Good Luck, also try preparing lakes just as you did with plantera arena, and try to link them to npc houses so u can get to them by pylons
I swear there's something up with warding accessories. On my own hc master-mode playthrough I got tons of them as well.
Man that was foreshadowing
you can fish out of a 1 block wide, or rather you can get the fishing bobber out with just a 1 block wide space... hope this helps
The hit box of the fishing bobber is one block, you can throw it through one block gaps
Your next run through you should show more footage. Like make a walkthrough to show people how to do it. :)
Poor gungnir, dying from a single hit, all those prep for nothing.
Fire 🔥 vid keep it up 💪
I could just feel the fucking nerve that specific turtle had even tho he was the same as every other turtle in the game
I dont know if you did this but you should do for the worthy master hardcore I would love to see you struggle. LOL
I need to try using a hardcore character, too, but on a classic world. Though I wonder if I should start on a new world every time my hardcore character dies or not.
this is a good video
