Old Ones Army Terraria Cheese

I found information technology to be quite tedious to simply endeavour fighting Skeletron right after the Eater of Worlds, then I sought later the Old One's Ground forces. Nevertheless, I found it incredibly tedious to fight the Wyverns at Wave 4 and 5, having to bargain with everything coming at me.

I searched the internet for some tips, and after coming across Mappy's video of all the rules of the effect, I attempted to employ the weird height limitations using boulders. I lost immediately, forgetting about the creative shock debuff, so I tried again trying to make a lava trick with platforms and sand to strength boulders to autumn, but using cobwebs to launch them one at a fourth dimension. Only when I was setting upwardly, I realized what a monster cobwebs could exist with sand blocks.

Then I fabricated this happen:

Correct at the first of the round, I knocked off the cobwebs, and this forces all the enemies into ghost mode. The cobwebs suspend the sand blocks that used to be at level with the crystal stand.

I used Ballistas here, but I later on learned that Country Mines are far better at the job, given the dps and the size; plus, you lot tin stack landmines using platforms in a very small area, dealing an piece of cake 70 impairment or so per 1.5 seconds. They likewise have infinite pierce, and will continue all the drops in one place.

So at present I managed to completely isolate Wyverns from the rest of the army, but the trouble was killing them. It turned out that the Minishark couldn't fifty-fifty do enough damage, and using a bow is far besides dull. I don't have the book of skulls, and forget nigh melee. So what practise nosotros exercise?

Sandgun.

Out of all the possible weapons, I never expected that the sandgun would work so well. Non simply that you lot can ignore the problem of ghosting, especially when using landmines, information technology has high velocity AND loftier knockback while likewise dealing enough impairment to 4 hitting KO a wyvern. It also fires very quickly, making it easy to bargain with virtually 3 or potentially iv wyverns on screen. I call back I can tackle Skeletron this way, by the looks of information technology.

This is generally the aftermath of the battle (the arena is much more refined hither, after a lot of discovery and crash testing). Using the ropes, I can not only gain altitude, but besides prevent sand from interfering if it lands on pinnacle of the stand. the platforms underneath allow for landmine placement, making for a powerful damage zone. You can besides deploy landmines right at the crystal, as it can hurt a charging wyvern just before it touches it. The damage is plenty to deal with wyverns with only 40% health left or and then, making it easier to deal with teeming numbers of them.

I retrieve that I couldn't have this any other way; using actuated blocks would get in the way of the wyvern's area due to residue sand, and fifty-fifty though the dark mage's sphere doesn't attack through walls, information technology's still convenient to just assault straight from the spot. I hope this'll exist of use to others who are also looking for unique alternatives to chirapsia the old 1'southward army.
