Hello, gamers. Hope you are doing well.
Mining in Terraria is a lot of fun, digging deeper and deeper in search of precious ores is very addictive, to say the least. Many secrets lie underground and one such secret was revealed by a fairy. A little fairy just came to me and looked like it wanted me to follow after it. So, I followed it and it led me to a hidden chest location.
---
I clicked on the chest in excitement to find some precious loot but I was greeted by a big boom which killed me. What a troll chest!
---
I know I am going to die in a lot of weird ways in this game, The last time I died from a simple plant and this time an inanimate object got me...LOL
I said no mining and came up to start an adventure on the surface. I have yet to experience all the biomes and different plants I can go to. I moved to the right of my spawn and entered a desert biome.
---
I chopped the trees as they were different from my spawn biome. I had to fight some vultures along the way. These are all over the desert biome and although they are not tough to kill, they are such a nuisance. I tried to run away from them as well but they fly and chase after you so you have to stop and kill them.
---
I saw a glowing plant under the sand, thought it was an important item and started digging. Making a tunnel through sand is just impossible, the loose sand falls over and you have to mine all the sand blocks. It took me quite a time until I realised that I had to just dig down until I got to the dirt and then make an easy tunnel. And in the end, it didn't matter as that plant was just a random plant with some light, what a waste of time and energy...lol
---
Further east to the desert biome is the Jungle biome with some lush green caves taking you to the depths of the world. I didn't go much deeper as I was just exploring. I chopped the unique tree that I found there. I found some chests with some random potions and other materials. I kept collecting everything I saw.
---
One of the coolest items was an "Arcane Aglet" which can be equipped and increases movement speed by 5%. I so wanted this as I felt the movement speed was a little lower. I also got a "can of worms". Not sure what I can do with that, but I will keep them handy in case they are super rare items.
---
The sun was starting to set now but there was still some daylight left for me to work around. Once the zombies start spawning I better get back to my base or I am dead meat in no time. Luckily I found a mirror (I forgot the name) which can transport me back to my spawn instantly. Otherwise, I would be freaking out at this point. XD
---
I was stopped by a big pool of water, it was getting dark now and there were a lot of fishes and possibly other deadly creatures in there so it would be dumb to go inside it not knowing how deep or long it was... I collected some bamboo growing close to it and teleported myself back to my base.
---
Usually, I go mining at night but I wanted to kill some zombies and other monsters that night. I also saw some stars falling from the sky, I wanted to collect those too!
I had a good iron bow and some arrows and killed a lot of zombies.
---
One of the coolest items I had was a "Ruthless Flinch Staff" which summons a bird to fight for me, I love to see it killing those monsters. I had no idea where I found this cool summoning staff but it was so good to have someone fight along with me.
There was a guide who fought alongside me with those zombies but it got killed and I had no idea if I could resurrect it or get a respawn of that guide. He was quite useful!
---
I was feeling confident now and roamed far away from my base in search of those fallen stars. On the western side, there is a deadly biome, I am not sure what is the name of this biome but there are stronger monsters, thorny bushes and trees.
It was almost daytime again and I was slain by "Eater of Souls", these guys just continuously spawn here and keep coming. Even my baby flinch was having a hard time keeping up with them.
---
I saw a deep dark cave and started descending into it. I was surprised to find out that my Pickaxe was not working on these blocks and I was kind of stuck with monsters constantly coming to take my life and a deep dark cave was below me. I had no ropes or hooks or anything. I died a couple of times trying to make a staircase.
---
I tried to go down and it took me an entire day of dying, respawning, travelling back to the cave and dying again. I was way underequipped to go down there and I realised it a little too late :)
---
It was a stormy night and rain was pouring down. I killed a few more zombies and went down into the mines to get me better ores and equip myself better to kill those 'Eater of Souls' faster.
---
Gold seems much rarer than silver in the mines. Fortunately, I found a big deposit of it. I found some Topaz too, not sure if I can craft a pickaxe with that but it seemed a rare find for me.
Travelling in a minecart is so much fun as well. You can cover a lot of distance quite quickly!
---
I will try to go deeper and find more rare items. I keep finding those big ears that increase my maximum health. There are some chests too deep in the mines which have some nice loot. I love to explore more of the mines. Surely, mining is one of the most satisfying parts of the gameplay for me. I want to go back to that pool of water and see if I can craft a raft or a boat and cross that lake.
I am liking it so far, can't wait to explore more of the world around me and dig deeper!!
***Thanks for reading...***
Until next time...
