Terraria Speedrun - Night's Edge Hardcore - (3) - EoW grinding

This is my first successful, recorded hardcore-only speedrun. The goal being to acquire as fast as possible Terraria's most powerful sword: The Night's Edge (http://terraria.wikia.com/wiki/Night%27s_Edge). Doing this requires traveling all across a Terraria world to find each of the four ingredients to craft one:

* A Light's Bane sword (Corruption/Bosses).
* A Muramasa (Dungeon).
* A Fiery Greatsword (The Underworld AKA Hell).
* A Blade of Grass (The Underground Jungle).

I did this run without memorizing the map or using 3rd party tools or cheats (including exiting to evade death). My final time is 03:27:46 (which I've greatly condensed in the videos). I may try a later run with a memorized map, though.

Enjoy!

when mining drop shafts, drop a glowstick at your feet. It drops down with you and you can save time that would be spent placing torches, which if wanted can be placed on the way up.

awesome run! How many times have you tried this before?

[Tuxlar]

@foxonacid I use glowsticks in that very way on multiple occasions. I just happen to have a bad case of persistent-illumination OCD, though. :P

I've tried 4 or 5 times before, but I'd always manage to blow myself up in some new and exciting way before long (notice I'm less "rehearsed" after the corruption).

You really need to practice with those Grenades.

What surprised me is that you didn't break any shadow orbs to get the musket. Having the musket means the Gun dealer will arrive to sell you the Minishark. The minishark is quite useful against skeletron.

[Tuxlar]

@andrew1421l For that reason alone I wouldn't break a shadow orb, since grinding for 50 gold takes too long. If I'd been able to buy more than one stick of Dynamite, I surely would have taken out 2 orbs during my previous spelunk.

U like wood dont u?

[Horangus]

if i want nights edge (which i usually dont) i will make the lights bane but not use it. what i usually do is just make waraxe of the night because it just does more damage and if you dont want the nights edge it a save of resources. hope this helps for future

[KhymChanur]

Holy crap! I'm *really* going to have to learn to use grenades!!

[MrFelixFB]

@Tuxlar True, I buy 20 to combat demon eyes *trollafaic* and I die before the stack is gone....

[foxonacid]

@Tuxlar MORE MORE! seriously, this stuff is entertaining. Though considering what you started with I'm not sure how you could one up this video.
