I think your format for the terraria play throughs is JUST right. I wouldn’t mind having some more smaller mythbusters, but what’s my authority I just have a gifted membership
So, this opens up he possibility of a challenge playthrough that bans pickackes, drills and other mining methods. You start with an endless shimering bucket and have to find stuff only using that.
that would be interesting but.. how would you progress in the game? (if you consider explosives that destroy tiles a mining method) i know you can find bars and stuff in chests and anvils & crafting benches spawn naturally but that doesnt sound very fun and you cant make any hardmode armor and stuff like that
I am *devastated* that unless it's the same as the aether pylon's effect, we can't have that shimmering effect on a monolith, that was *stunningly* beautiful.
@@borger4505 This effect looks very different from the aether monolith. (I meant aether monolith not pylon, oops) It could just be because gemspark blocks glow so the darkness effect doesn't overlay onto them, I haven't tested, but it looked amazing
There is a similar "glitch" with the grappling hook where you grapple onto the middle tile of a door and open it, it's a great method to get to top speed. It doesn't send you through walls, but it's the same launching idea.
7:32 I love how you timed the teleports with the music! An idea for shorter videos: Fight Bosses under certain circumstances. These would be similar to bigger playthroughs, but shorter because you're only fighting one boss.
I sense a playthrough that starts with the bottomless shimmer bucket, just like the portal gun vid. It would be cool to see what traversal looks like if you have it the whole game
"Myth": Any worm-type enemy (Worms, Wyvern, Bone Serpent, desert underground worms, etc.) is blocked from spawning, as long as the player stands in front of safe background walls. This is also why no worms spawn when you descend into the desert through the pyramid, since those are safe background walls Saves you a lot of headaches when fishing in hardmode on sky islands, since wyverns won't knock you around all the time
it *should* work like that, as worm enemies are not an exception to the spawning algorithm. the reason you see so many is that with the ability to go through walls, they are less likely to despawn shortly after and more likely to pathfind their way to the player
@@jonasgajdosikas1125 I think you're misunderstanding what they are saying. Normal spawning algorithm won't spawn enemies where there's a safe background, but if the player is in front a safe background and there are unsafe or no background areas nearby, enemies can still spawn there (otherwise blood moons would be easily safe). The "myth" being suggested is that if the player is in front of a safe background, worm enemies cannot spawn even at unsafe backgrounds. Pretty sure its a fact, but doesn't hurt to test it.
what a coincidence, I just started a shimmer world of my own (with a few changes and mods) either way, I don't mind shorter vids like this, it's your channel after all, and other projects + real life get in the way all the time (I know from experience)
4:13 Fun fact, you can actually do something similar with a door instead of shimmer. If you grapple onto the middle block of a door and then open said door, you'll be launched through the air.
I think the shimmer-wall-boost works on the same principle as the door-boost. Hooks give you a bit of movement speed to you stick to a wall, that launches you if you hook to a closed door that you then open, since the shimmer essentially gives you noclip it uses the same principle.
I'm very glad Mythbusters is back, I had just been saying out loud to myself a few days ago, "Terraria Mythbusters hasn't had anything new in a while."
2:09 I know I talk about it a lot but god I still love you using Minish cap music, I just relived me going through the ice dungeon to The Big Octorock, I don’t know how many people get your reference but know I do and I love them all
Shorter videos (especially Mythbusters) between the long ones sounds great! Myth (that you may have covered): Can you pass through portals while shimmered? If so, do you stay shimmered? (Can you even cover a portal with blocks without deleting it?)
I just want to say thank you not for something you did in the video, but just for helping me find a song I really liked lol cuz i had a compressed version of the song in my files for like 3/4 years and cuz of you guys great tastes, i finally found where it originates from (its the temple of droplets from minish cap incase anyone is wondering, not much of a zelda guy)
Another challenge idea: you can't mine anything except ores (or ban mining completely) and your only way of moving through the caves is shimmer bucket. You can allow mining in the underworld (since shimmer doesn't work there) and blocks that you placed yourself. Could be interesting to see how you can traverse caves without mining through them.
1:38 i think some parts of the temple are not "immune" from teleportation since on my first playthrough of terraria when i have beaten plantera and went to find the temple, i've deadass said "yeah you cant RoD in temple" then clicked just for funsies then got teleported and that was before i've opened the temple by temple key or i've beated golem. i know its like trust me bro but I SWEAR it happened
Fun fact, your little shimmer launch trick also works on doors, and I think actuated blocks as well. Basically, if you had your hook on something and then suddenly don't, you seem to always get a boost as if your hook was still pulling you in for a brief moment. I think it even works on trapdoors going upward, but don't quote me on that.
I wouldn't mind seeing these mythbusting ones some more. But i know ideas can get scarce. Otherwise seeing cool things you build or ways you break games is pretty cool. I'd be happy to see any game really. Zelda was good too. Love those games
Don't worry bro. I love to watch every video in what ever posting period. Even if nothing happens, your videos are great and I enjoy them. Cheers. Pro tip which way too little youtubers do: "Put all videos in one playlist, sorted at best. This way I can watch all videos without losing the overview. Less input of me, more watchtime for you. Just if you want of course."
myth that I hope hasn't already been done yet: if you kill the wall of flesh at exactly 4:30 A.M. on the drunk world seed, the ore making up the box the loot spawns in and the evil biome that generates will be different (e.g. box is made of crimtane but a corruption biome generates, or vice versa)
Myth: for hooks that can throw out multiple hooks even before the first one latches like the Lunar Hook, you will move at the same speed towards multiple latched hooks compared to just one latched hook.
Can you get horizontal momentum while shimmering, aside from the grappling hook trick? (Ideas, maybe something boss knock back, or (probably not) conveyor belts?) If so, you could potentially, say, have an EOC knock you sideways through the jungle temple wall.
You know, the Shimmer Trick that feels like a Tabi dash reminds me of the Dash-like Jump you do when you hook onto an Ice Rod Block, and that Ice then Breaks.
Shimmer hooking is a really cool coincidental discovery. It's unfortunate that it's a technique you only gain access to after beating the game since it could make for a cool alternative to digging down for several minutes at a time at the beginning of a playthrough.
I think the hook launch with shimmer just works the same way as when you hook to a door and then open it. The game realizes you could move further so it tries but then also realizes there shouldn’t be a hook there so gives you momentum but you keep it bc the hook isn’t there.
just had an idea for a challenge you could try, you should try and see if you could beat Terraria with just 3 bottomless buckets (tools can be used but not for combat) i wanna see how well that would work, or you could try and use only one bucket with shimmer and try and that is your ONLY movement tool (aside usual wasd and space)
Myth: I've already busted it myself, but I wanted everyone else to know. If you use Betsy's Wings, and hold Down, Up, and Left or Right, you just go in a straight line.
If you happen to watch Gromek (or the idea sounds interesting enough to check it out anyways), I'd kinda like to see how you might test the limits of Torch Storage
For those of you wondering about how this was uploaded 20 minutes ago (at the time of writing this) but there were already comments before it was uploaded. Members of a TH-cam channel get to view uploads earlier than people who are not members of the channel.
How about a playthrough where you have an endless shimmer bucket and a hook as your only mobility items? See how much the shimmer gets away when you don’t have a sponge to clean it up!
you know a playthrough where you cant break blocks other then ore and only using the endless shimmer bucket to move around bellow ground would be pretty neat
I have a myth, if you throw multiple guide voodoo dolls (Stacked) to the lava, multiple NPC's will die, it might sound weird but it happened to me once but im not sure if my game just glitched of ir that happens everytime (If doesnt work on classic-expert-master, try on journey mode, since that happened to me while playing journey)
Myth: Blue rarity weapons/tools with a modifier that deranks it to white rarity makes it burn in lava cant find anything about this unless im just looking in the wrong place or misunderstand how items burning up in lava works but id kinda love to see that

4:53 maybe they could add a shimmered version of the Tabi that works just like that when dashing
Like the Illuminant Hook, but instead of teleporting you, it shimmers you as soon as you touch the hook, maybe.
honey comb but it douses you in shimmer instead
Myth: Grappling a celling and shimmering yourself in Reverse Gravity allows your to shimmer through callings.
He tried it here a couple times, he didn't have enough speed to get through one layer

What this guy said, keep up the good work 👍
Shimmer really is the gift that keeps on giving
small mythbusters in between big videos seems cool
A thing about the hook shimmer launch is that it can be initiated with a fishing rod

Canadean, you aren't alone. I definitely have a memory of shimmer pump movability being patched too.
do a shimmer bucket hop playthrough, would be quite whacky, though everything getting filled with shimmer might become an issue
at 7:24, the sfx of shimmer and the music was in sync...wand of sparkling really put effort on that...ahaha
