Some things I forgot to mention: this video was recorded before 1.4.4 came out, and the mana flower and any successors of that accessory were banned because it would've been cringe. Also I completely forgot that since 1.4 Terraria you can't obtain the waterbolt pre-skeletron, my bad! Don't forget to subscribe if you enjoyed the video, it goes a long way for a small channel like mine :)
At the start of hardmode you could’ve kept the meteor helmet and just changed the plate and boots for a little extra damage, it even has more defense than the mage helmets
I personally love Journey mode for the exact reason you picked it. It really saves time when it comes to grinding, and when you have nearly 3000 hours on this game, you look for as many ways to save grinding as you can. It doesn't have to be an easy mode. You can simply choose to never take the difficulty slider below expert mode. It's all optional. Journey mode is also a dream for building because you have access to infinite building materials when you research them.
I used journey godmode to experience master mode's boss patterns for the first time. It's such a good mode for playing around and practicing bosses in various situations.
@@robertgreen376 multy grind is cringe cheating is based. oh and journey mode is creative mode, but scratch it feels like the goal is to complete the search bar
Journey mode is totally fine, the point of these runs isn't to grind, it's to see how you can manage to beat the game with restricted conditions. We know you can farm X material with only one mana star, let's skip the time consuming elements so you can focus on the hard part :D Also how aren't you more popular ? Been binging your videos since a few days (youtube recommended me Terraria videos randomly, haven't played in years) and you're pretty good at catching those algorithm beats, hope you'll get a big popularity boost soon
I agree with this, IF the grind is boring. However, one of the most fun parts of watching challenge runs like this is seeing the youtuber struggle to things that are normally trivial.
@@HumanoidDerpling grinding in this game is rarely not trivial under any challenge conditions. Most of the grinding is literally just "Kill X about Y times for Z" or "Stand in this spot and fish for 10 hours" or "Mine for 8 hours for 15 different small accessories that need to be combined in various combinations". Like are any of you guys actually grinding for the Cellphone anymore? After your first playthrough why bother?
@@JudojugsVtuber It would be very difficult to beat enemies that are otherwise easy, if only because you normally kill them fast. Another example: in Wand of Sparking's lava and shimmer filled worlds, reaching currently submerged chests or life crystals requires you to cautiously reroute the liquid enough, all the while making sure not to get touched. And if, when mining, you accidently don't route lava properly, or accidentally open a cave you didn't mean to, you could stand to lose hours of progress. The stakes are fairly high, and the process is facinating. Obviously, with something like 1 mana star, it's not gonna be nearly as interesting, but I'd still like to see the grind, because where enemies are involved, it isn't trivial anymore.
I'm all for using journey mode in challenges like this, if it makes your life easier then it's good for you and if it speeds up the content it's good for us. Keep up the great work man!
@@thomascarter6510 why isn't it good? It doesn't alter the difficulty of the video, it literally just takes out the boring and grindy bits. Those would have either been a 5 second timelapse or removed entirely, so what's the issue?
@@solarenity the challenge is specifically related to combat, not how much stuff he can mine with no mana. I personally don't see an issue with it, it just means he can bring out content faster and skip stuff that would have already been omitted from the video?
I am very impressed you managed to do it. Honestly thought you would end up saying it couldn't be done :P (particularly with the night time only bosses)
Hey! If you ever do another journey mode video, to speed things up when grinding souls of night or light you can craft a single soul of either type with a bottle to get a decorative item, which you can duplicate with only needing 1 of them, and you can get 9999 then throw it into the shimmer and boom, 9999 souls at the cost of 1 soul and a bottle. :)
you could have used the grey and orange zapinators since they get the buff from the meteor set, though you would have a lot less defense in hardmode and it feels a bit cheesy (good video btw)
FYI Duke Fishron's last phase can be ultra-cheesed by repeatedly dashing into him with the Shield of Cthulhu the moment he dashes, abusing its brief moment of invincibility. Same with Queen Bee btw. Other dashing bosses don't work so well because they either dash too slow (EoC and first phase of The Twins), too fast and repeated (Expert EoC mad dashes and second phase Spasmatism), or have an invincibility window themselves (EoL).
I'll keep that in mind, I have used that against the Queen bee but never Duke as I always have the master ninja gear post plantera. Giving up master ninja gear is hard though but I might use that
Meteorite armor reduces the mana cost of both the gray and orange zapinator to 0 (though it doesn't say the mana cost is any less) so meteorite armor would have been viable the whole playthrough
i've been watching a few of your videos man and ive gotta say your content is fantastic. i love the editing style and the general commentary keep it up man youre going places
One way I like to handle the OOA is to use the nimbus rod in front of each portal, it mows down some of the weaker enemies and just overall makes it easier. Great video, really enjoy watching Terraria challenges!
1.4.4 buffed it so it would have a difference in that update, but prior to that the regeneration would've been pretty miniscule, and this was recorded before 1.4.4
The crazy thing about Journey Mode is you can have a difficulty level anywhere in between the other difficulties. If I want something a bit harder than Expert but not all the way to Master then you can put the slider at 2.5 or anywhere in-between the difficulties(1 = Classic, 2 = Expert, 3 = Master) I love that you can do things to speed up monotonous tasks. You want to get to nighttime to fight the boss right away? Bam one button. You want to build in peace without enemies getting in you way? Turn of spawning of enemies. As long as you're not using the God Mode , giving yourself endless money instantly or just giving yourself top tier items without earning them legit(if this was a character that already researched or that had access to the items in a separate map). I don't see any issue with using it. Plus if it helps you make more videos and and removes the crappy posts of each playthrough you start then I'm all for it.
i encourage journey mode!!! its not like creative minecraft, you still have to progress your game and gather resources it just makes it quicker! i tend to use it after playing on normal or mediumcore for years because ive done the grind, now i just want to have the fun!
people can play the game however they want but what people aren't acknowledging is that it shouldn't be called a challenge if it's purposefully using the easiest difficulty thus negating half if not more of the challenge
Good stuff dude! Honestly surprised you were able to pull off something like this, subbed! (also I would've kept an eye out for the orange zapinator bc it also benefits from the meteor armor set bonus but im not sure if you knew about that or not ^^,)
An OOA strat I recommend is the clinger staff(I think that's the name) it shoots a pillar of cursed flame with moderate knock back that lasts a while and perfectly covers and can guaranteed kill everything on one side including flying dragon things so you can focus on the opposite side.
I discovered you literally a day or two ago and I’m already here waiting for your next upload haha. You have an amazing thing going here, glad to be along for the ride now :))
Something I always wonder is why nobody seems to know that the crawltipedes during solar pillar fight only attack you if you are flying. Just stay on the ground, they won't even spawn at all.
I've known about the crawltipedes attacking flying targets since they were released in 1.3, I just tend to fly a bit to avoid the ground enemies because I get overwhelmed by them, and try to evade the crawtipede. I find I'm dead either way so I try to survive flying for a bit
as someone who's tried a mage playthrough and rage quit while attempting the mechs, this really has me inspired to try again xD found your channel fairly recently, and ive just been going through all your videos over the past few days. keep up the awesome work! looking forward to more content!
IMO journey mode is perfectly fine as long as you increase the difficulty accordingly. But at the same time I wouldn’t give af if you ran the entire game god more cause you are just entertaining to watch. Gg king
this challenge was quite interesting to watch cus banning extra mana stars, mana flower and idk if this was intentional but not using life fruits as well made the challenge rlly fun to watch. great vid broski
Great video. I'm surprised you didn't make use of the Magnet Sphere. It's only 14 mana for ~15 seconds of DPS. Kind of a late game version of the Nimbus Rod. I'm guessing it might have been an issue with the drop rate, since it's pretty low. Still, really well done. :)
I was very confused by meteorite armor giving you free space gun because I've primarily played calamity and they nerfed the set bonus to only half cost
I love the fact you disclosed you used journey mode *and* that you also ethically kept true to playing the game with a challenge, just not repetitive tedium.
Magnet Sphere would have been amazing, 14 mana and hits like 10 times. Rainbow gun wouldn't be a bad get but farming keys would suck. Also Duke had 90 hp left 26:41 you see 445 as the lowest hp number and subtract the 232 and 123.
I mean, not really? They would only restore 20 mana at a time, which I would use up basically instantly lol. I just didn't really bother with that stuff because I feel it doesn't help that much.
(I dont know if you already know this if not) BUT with the meteor armor it also cuts out mana costs for the zapinators so with this callenge using the zapinators would be very beneficial
if you try and punch duke early again, i found that bottles and the slime mount provide the immediate vertical speed and mobility to completely invalidate the third phase, even before .4.4 so much so that i managed to beat it entirely on the pillion in both 1.4 and 1.4.4
You did the harder version of the challenge I did at the beginning of the year. I allowed items/armor that gave mana. When I finally beat the game I used all the mana stars and felt like an absolute God with my nearly endless mana and damage.

Tbh journey mode being used doesn't matter. It speeds up the stuff that people want to see like finding something actually usable and good mixed with the challenge of the bosses as journey mode trims the grind as it would still be possible
You could have used the orange laser rifle from the traveling merchant. That thing hits like a dump truck and is considered as a space gun so with the meteor armor it costs 0 mana. Its actually ridiculous.
i honestly think you made this harder on yourself than necessary. Like, mathmatically it should really always be worth it to spamm mana potions, ESPECIALLY the later you get into the game. If a weapon can only be shot once per mana star, then just being able to spamm it at half damage will do MUUUUUCH more damage than just shooting once every 2 seconds. Still good job.
CJ I gotta say you do some of the most interesting and unique terraria videos I’ve seen on yt Like seriously, thank you for bringing such a fresh pallet of terraria content to TH-cam ✌️
FYI the wand of sparking does 14 damage, has fast speed, sets enemies on fire, pierces once, and costs 1 mana. It is a really good weapon and it can annihilate EoC

You’re too sweet
Little known fact, meteor armor gives the zapinators infinite mana as well, that would’ve helped a little
Journey mode tips:
Craft a soul of light/night in a bottle and research it and then throw more in shimmer to get infinite soul early.
Magnet Sphere would have been amazing, 14 mana and hits like 10 times. Rainbow gun wouldn't be a bad get but farming keys would suck.
Also Duke had 90 hp left 26:41 you see 445 as the lowest hp number and subtract the 232 and 123.

Good video. 1 out of 5 stars. I enjoyed this.
Mana cuffs with the celestial emblem and star statues would have helped you tremendously, my friend.
I mean, not really? They would only restore 20 mana at a time, which I would use up basically instantly lol. I just didn't really bother with that stuff because I feel it doesn't help that much.

Good guys, bad guys, and explosions as far as the eye can see
And only one will survive, I wonder who it will be
This is the ultimate showdown of ultimate destiny
Godzilla took a bite out of Optimus Prime
Like Scruff McGruff took a bite out of crime
And then Shaq came back covered in a tire track
But Jackie Chan jumped out and landed on his back
And Batman was injured, and trying to get steady
When Abraham Lincoln came back with a machete
But suddenly something caught his leg and he tripped
Indiana Jones took him out with his whip
Then he saw Godzilla sneaking up from behind
And he reached for his gun which he just couldn't find
'Cause Batman stole it and he shot and he missed
And Jackie Chan deflected it with his fist
Then he jumped in the air and did a somersault
While Abraham Lincoln tried to pole vault
Onto Optimus Prime, but they collided in the air
Then they both got hit by a Care Bear stare
This is the ultimate showdown of ultimate destiny
Good guys, bad guys, and explosions as far as the eye can see
And only one will survive, I wonder who it will be
This is the ultimate showdown
Angels sang out an immaculate chorus
Down from the heavens descended Chuck Norris
Who delivered a kick which could shatter bones
Into the crotch of Indiana Jones
Who fell over on the ground, writhing in pain
As Batman changed back into Bruce Wayne
But Chuck saw through his clever disguise
And he crushed Batman's head in between his thighs
Then Gandalf the Grey and Gandalf the White
And Monty Python and the Holy Grail's black knight
And Benito Mussolini and the Blue Meanie
And Cowboy Curtis and Jambi the Genie
Robocop, The Terminator, Captain Kirk, and Darth Vader
Lo-pan, Superman, every single Power Ranger
Bill S. Preston and Theodore Logan
Spock, The Rock, Doc Ock, and Hulk Hogan
All came out of nowhere lightning fast
And they kicked Chuck Norris in his cowboy ass
It was the bloodiest battle that the world ever saw
With civilians looking on in total awe
The fight raged on for a century
Many lives were claimed, but eventually
The champion stood, the rest saw their better
Mr. Rogers in a bloodstained sweater
This is the ultimate showdown of ultimate destiny
Good guys, bad guys, and explosions as far as the eye can see
And only one will survive, I wonder who it will be
This is the ultimate showdown
(The ultimate showdown)
This is the ultimate showdown
(The ultimate showdown)
This is the ultimate showdown
Of ultimate destiny
Tbh journey mode being used doesn't matter. It speeds up the stuff that people want to see like finding something actually usable and good mixed with the challenge of the bosses as journey mode trims the grind as it would still be possible
Heyho, I found your videos about two weeks ago and I'm already super addicted. Did you do a sentry only run yet?
You could have used the orange laser rifle from the traveling merchant. That thing hits like a dump truck and is considered as a space gun so with the meteor armor it costs 0 mana. Its actually ridiculous.
I would’ve used it if the traveling merchant sold it
"Obviously I can't use the space gun"
*gets the space gun*
i honestly think you made this harder on yourself than necessary.
Like, mathmatically it should really always be worth it to spamm mana potions, ESPECIALLY the later you get into the game.
If a weapon can only be shot once per mana star, then just being able to spamm it at half damage will do MUUUUUCH more damage than just shooting once every 2 seconds.
Still good job.
If you got lucky and got the zapinators, the meteor armor effect works for them too. Probably not great for bossing but still.
You could've also gotten the pre-hm and hm zapinators, as they also use 0 mana with the meteor armor
No one has any excuse for not using mana potions after watching this video.
Holy crap what a sick run
CJ I gotta say you do some of the most interesting and unique terraria videos I’ve seen on yt Like seriously, thank you for bringing such a fresh pallet of terraria content to TH-cam ✌️
Thank you, that means so much :) glad I can bring something new
*uses 0 mana for the space gun* me: i tryed it it works for all mana items
POV: its ur 1st ever playthrough and u wanna be a mage but dont collect fallen stars cuz theyre "trash"
BTW there is a op voodo doll dropped by the goblin warlock uses 6 man's normaly plus really op
you should have used the star in a bottle which increases mana regen it would have helped a ton especially pre-hardmode
I always play on journey mode, sometimes I change weather or time, but no godmode, just very useful
Im surprised you didnt install any statues to spawn mana at your boss arena every few seconds. This would have topped you up consistently.
you missed the change to say the ball of hurt, hurt
I only say one thing: ZAPINATOR
They ALSO work with the meteor armor bonus, using 0 mana
Hey,I don’t know if anyone said this already yet but after 1.4 you can’t find the water bolt at the dungeon entrance anymore
oh i also beat terraria on one mana star as well i was a ranger : )
lmao
At 15:30 did anyone else notice that there were 3 voodoo demons at the same time?
journey mode is goated. its made to make the game fun so if it makes it fun play whats fun for you
Honestly! It helped me save a lot of time in the play through!
Grinding can get annoying so journey always welcome
8:53 This makes me laugh.
"manner potions" 💀😭
Honestly surpriaed your first thing to do after a weapon wasn't finding a jungle flower
26:41 It says he's at 445 HP (90 as he kills you)
Me personally if I did this challenge I would probably rage quit before killing a single slime
this challenge was literally just spraying and praying
socketrez would be proud
Hey just an fyi, in 1.4 the water bolt’s generation was changed so you can’t actually get it before skeletron :(
Oh yeah I forgor💀 old habits die hard I guess. Thanks for the info!
FYI the wand of sparking does 14 damage, has fast speed, sets enemies on fire, pierces once, and costs 1 mana. It is a really good weapon and it can annihilate EoC
only in classic mode though
@@checkit3916 nah. Still destroyes in expert
You could've also used both zapinators and the Laser Rifle from the WOF with the meteor armor, as the buff applies to those aswell
