Since the 2D action-adventure sandbox game Terraria throws players into the game without much guidance on what to do besides build houses for NPCs, it can be difficult for new players to navigate through the experience at first. This is especially true in pre-Hardmode because new player characters don't have the equipment that makes traveling through the large world easier.
But, this doesn't mean that it is impossible for non-experienced players to make it through pre-Hardmode into Hardmode. If the player explores the world and follows some simple tips, they can easily make it to the second half of the game.
10 Build A House At Spawn
While playing Terraria, it is likely that the player will die to enemies and hazards many times throughout a playthrough. Since most players, especially new ones, play the game with classic characters, the player will only drop coins when they die, and will then respawn at the same place they spawned at when they first entered the world.
Because the player will not be able to make beds to change the spawn location until they get the proper materials and equipment, some NPC houses should be built at the world spawn point so that the player can have a place to regroup after they die. These houses should include some chests to store items and any crafting stations the player finds or creates.
9 Find Specific Items
During any playthrough, the player will find various items that they can use to gain different types of abilities. While some of these accessories are used for specific classes such as the feral claws being good for Terraria's Summoners, some accessories are absolutely necessary for every type of player to properly travel. In pre-Hardmode, these accessories include four items that can either be found or made.
The first item is a magic mirror, which is an item that lets the player automatically teleport back to their spawn point whenever they want. Along with this, the player should find a pair of sprinting boots, which will let them sprint. Also, the player will need to find a cloud in a bottle so that they can double jump. Finally, a grappling hook will help players get around obstacles.
8 Upgrade Tools And Weapons As Soon As Possible
When a player first starts a new playthrough with a new character, all they have are the copper versions of necessary tools, such as the pickaxe and axe, and one copper sword. These tools will be incredibly slow and won't be able to destroy most stronger blocks, and the weapon will be mostly useless against enemies.
Because of this, players should focus on finding ore underground to make better tools, and should also try to find better weapons from chests, enemy drops, or even by crafting them. If a player is playing with other people, they should decide to focus on a specific class so that the weapons can be spread amongst the group. Also, players should pay attention to what armor they are wearing in Terraria and whether it is compatible with their weapons.
7 Make A Room For Chests
Although the player does have plenty of inventory space and will get more space once they get a Money Trough, there are so many items they get over the course of a playthrough that they will still need chests. Many of these items will be needed to make other items, so it is best to keep them as much as possible rather than simply throwing things away.
To make things easier, the player should make a large room for chests nearby the houses at the spawn point, and each chest should be properly labeled so that weapons found in Terraria only go in the chest or torches only go in the torches chest. By doing this, the player should be able to easily empty out their inventory by clicking on the "stack to nearby chests" button near their inventory without worrying about items getting lost.
6 Store Money In Chests
Since most players use classic characters, they don't need to worry about losing items when they die as players do in Minecraft. But they do need to be concerned about losing money when they die. Even though items left on the ground don't despawn after a certain period of time, coins can be picked up by any mobs that come across it, which means that it's gone even if the player kills the mob responsible.
To avoid this, the player should have a specific chest, piggy bank, or other forms of storage to keep their money. As long as the money is in the chest, the player won't lose it. The player also needs to remember to regularly keep storing whatever money they get.
5 Explore The Surface
As the player gets better items and equipment, they will be able to explore more of the world without dying to mobs or getting stuck in rough terrain. This is important because the player needs to know where certain things are in order to accomplish various parts of the game. For example, the player needs to know where the Dungeon has spawned in their world so that they know where to go to fight the Skeletron boss and progress.
The player also needs to know where each of the biomes is so that they can find any biome specific equipment they need. Later, when the player gets more NPCs, they should also build houses in the different biomes and get the teleportation pylons so that it is easier to travel across the map.
4 Build Boss Arenas
In order to get through the game, the player will need to fight bosses. Many of these bosses can be incredibly challenging, especially if the player doesn't have the proper space to move around. To help deal with this, the player should make their own boss arenas, which are made using platforms, campfires, and sometimes other buff items such as heart lanterns or stars in a bottle, which is especially good for Terraria's many powerful magic users.
The platforms give the player a straight path to move across while also allowing the player free movement both above and below the platforms, which makes it easier to dodge and hit bosses. Also, making a particular location for bosses allows the use of pre-placed buff items and keeps enemies away from NPCs.
3 Place Torches On The Wall
Speaking of keeping NPCs safe, some enemies can open doors to houses, which means NPCs in houses are in danger of being harmed. To prevent this, the player can place a torch on the wall next to the door leading outside. This little trick will keep mobs from being able to open the door.
Since the door can't open if there is an item in the way, the torch will keep the door closed for mobs who can only open the door by pushing it. Because the player can open it by pulling the door, the torch won't keep the player from using the door as long as nothing is in the way on the other side.
2 Build Houses Above The Ground
While the torch trick will work for mobs that cannot go through walls, many bosses and other strong enemies can move through walls, which means NPCs will still be hurt by these enemies even if the doors are protected. To get around this, the player should build houses in the sky as soon as they can.
If the NPCs live far above the ground, then they will usually be safe even if the player is fighting against strong enemies because those enemies will fight the player on the ground rather than the NPCs in the sky.
1 Build A Hellevator
Eventually, the player will need to get to the Underworld biome at the bottom of the world map. In order to enter Hardmode, the player will need to defeat the Wall of Flesh, which is a boss summoned by throwing a Guide Voodoo Doll into the lava in the Underworld.
To quickly get to this area deep underground, the player should make a "hellevator," which is a vertical mine shaft that goes from the surface to the underworld. This can be done by digging straight down from spawn and getting enough rope to safely reach the bottom.
