3DS Terraria is BROKEN (in the best way possible) 

Having over 750 hours in Terraria on the 3DS, I found the infinite heal trick only way after the 700th hour, which is still earlier than finding that you can *make* potions yourself, as I never thought about filling a bottle with water, thus never getting the recipes for potions... I had to wait for PC Terraria for that one.

Fun fact: In older versions of the 3ds version of terraria, if you got a spear and held down the attack button, the spear would keep extending infinitely toward wherever you were aiming it allowing you to hit things really far away from you.

One oddity I found when I played this version recently, is the clockwork assault rifle is broken, like legitimately it’s broken, instead of being a burst that shoots 3 bullets, it shots like 30 a second, so it actually does like 2x the dps of the megashark.

This has me nostalgic not only for old terraria, but also for the ds era of nintendo. The dual screen layout was so useful for so many games. Even if a game didn't want to use it fully, it at least acted as a second monitor with a map or menu always up. I still miss it

Not choosing mage was your undoing. Not only can you get Crystal Storm pre-hardmode, but razorpine’s projectiles were immune to gravity, making Fishron comically easy.

I like how you're casually healing, just face tanking the destroyer.

Fun fact: fighting multiple queen bees isn't a weird 3DS thing, that's just how terraria works if you find multiple larva, lol. I remember this because of another bug (probably a console one?) where the larvae would instantly break upon loading the world cause of a world gen mistake, summoning multiple queen bees the moment you start playing and killing you at spawn.

Something funny I remember from my time playing 3DS Terraria is that you can actually use a truffle worm in any body of water and it will spawn Duke Fishron, even if you aren't at the ocean

I've been telling people that the 3DS version is very fun and I'm glad that someone is showing the good side of the 3DS version

The only issue i had with it was how, after a certain amount of progress, loading a world would crash the game

the reason for the drax being in shadow chests is that back when mobile released, there was a wall of flesh but there was no hardmode, so they sprinkled some hardmode things throughout the game, then i guess they forgot to remove it once hardmode actually got added Also ocram was a thing before all the 1.2 content including plantera and golem, he's a final boss in a post mechs way

I had roughly 850 hours in 3DS Terraria. Those of us who grew up on this game were truly blessed.

So I wasn't going crazy, I remember getting the Drax pre hard mode in the jungle under the temple. I also got life fruits before the mech bosses, vampire knifes were OP along with spectral armour (the hood that gains HP for dealing damage) the damage I delt was crazy making me invincible Edit: first played terraria on my iPad and I still have the original version with my world and can still fight Ocram

You didnt need to make all those alt worlds for the ores. The wiki is wrong, the recipes work with either. It just doesnt show that option in the recipe book but you can still craft it.

Terraria Mobile is what I grew up on. Seeing the Drax in the shadow chests gave me so much nostalgia, I remember being a little kid and getting that drill and just tearing up the world

This is my favorite version of Terraria! I remember sharing pictures of my character having negative defense back on Miiverse at the time.

I played this on Xbox as a kid with all my brothers on split screen. It was epic. We beat the wall of flesh with a diamond staff, a musket, and two minisharks. All I remember as far as mechs go is prime wouldn’t despawn and we just killed it in day rage mode. We struggled with plantera for a week until we discovered chlorophyte. Then we fought golem easily and finally fought ocram. It was honestly the best time I’ve ever played terraria and I miss it so much.

The zapinator required no mana on the 3ds so i used it alongside the spectre armor and never died. Also the lunar event music occasionally played and it scared the crap out of me.

Fun fact: terraria on wii U allows you to play with a wii remote and nunchuck. From what I remember you had to press + and - to cycle between inventory slots

I think the reason only Adamantite can be used to craft the summon is that there was a point where it was the only hard mode tier 3 ore that existed and the developers probably forgot to add titanium as an alternate for that one case

10:30 this actually happened to me on a recent master mode hardcore run I did, was fighting queen bee with a mage setup, main weapon I used was gray zapinator, but then one of the lasers went through the walls at 100km per hour and managed to, somehow, hit another larva that, god knows where it was LOL (I lived btw, decent arena, buff potions and farming for a bezoar op)

Back in '79 Gung actually saved my life. At the time I was a starving artist struggling to make ends meet when I came across Gungnir Gungbert at a local park. I remember he said to me "DoocH, to avoid starving - you need to eat." Those words resonated with me. Ever since that day I found my art more vibrant than ever. Each stroke of the paint brush seemed deliberate rather than a passing whim. Gung taught me that even I can sell my art to billionaires so they can donate it to museums and get tax write-offs. Thank you Gungnir, I will never go hungry again.

Personally the 3Ds controls are my favorite (keyboard and mouse excluded). It makes playing on the go so smooth.

If someone were to want to do something like this, play it on emulator or on a new 3ds/2ds xl, it removes all the lag issues and the tiny c stick acts like the sniper scope does in the current game!

Terraria on the 3DS was my childhood, I have so much nostalgia for this version of terraria, I used the health potion exploit to beat the destroyer, that really brought back some memories, I remember being super excited about reforging my true nights edge to legendary, good memories!

It's my favorite era of Terraria packed together into a convenient cartridge that I can take anywhere. Peak Terraria.

Stun arrows are op in this version of the game. My siblings used to play it and I remember hearing them talking about farming for stun arrows to make plantera super easy because it COULD NOT MOVE AT ALL under constant fire of stun arrows

This takes me back man, I have over a couple thousand hours on 3DS. The small world, and the glitches it all takes me back. Btw on the bottom right corner there's a fireflower from Mario and a bunch of other thing! My main complaint is that once the file get's too big the world corrupts but aye supper fun!

I remember the fond days of playing 1.2 on my ipad. Unfortunately, we never were able to get to Ocram, but I still have many fond memories.

Damn seeing the water tornado do 223 damage is insane 😂

He missed a jungle key mold when he was farming for admantite

The memories of trying for *weeks* to beat the Eye of Cthulu, being genuinely afraid of trying but thinking I could finally beat it on Christmas day with my golden armour and bow, only to essentially stand still for the entire fight and miss like 80% of my shots - I thought he moved a lot back then, now I can somewhat reliably hit him while he's charging in expert mode lol - while not even being able to tank the hits and subsequently dying... Man, I was really bad at the game back then 😅. Eventually managed to make it all the way into hardmode but only beat the Twins before dropping the game altogether iirc. This video gave me so much nostalgia I might even revisit it to finally kick Golem's butt and beat it once and for all. I think I'll have a better chance than 10-year old me, but the controls sadly won't have changed lmao. 20:02 Also kinda painful seeing him ignore the jungle key mold, but he didn't need it so I guess it doesn't matter lol.

This is the Terraria I played for 2-3 years. My brother and I spent most of that time thinking the zombie arm was the best weapon in the game. Also took us way too long to figure out the lock-on thing.

1:02 What is so sad is that old mobile before it was 1.3 HAD controls more like the 3ds and were very intuitive and easy to use!

I really like how life fruit looked in this update, instead of being just a reskin of hearts it acts like some sort of shield which looks much cooler to me.

Fun fact: you can kill the dungeon guardian very easily in this version. Simply lure one out and spam heart arrows and he will die in around 10 minutes.

This is fantastic. Was waiting for someone to make a high quality video on this version.

Dude this brings back so much nostalgia because the very first version of terraria I had was this. It feels weird growing up with the least popular version and only a few years ago beginning to play on pc. I was so used to the controls it hurt to play on pc.

I miss 3ds terraria. I spent countless hours playing terraria 3ds with my friends over weekends and summers and during road trips, I’m on my way to college and have upgraded to switch and now play terraria on switch.

Thanks Gungir for your videos, always a treat when you upload!

Downloaded terraria on my 3ds this year and it’s what got me into your channel!! Much love for giving it sone fame

The Paladin's Hammer was busted on 3DS. Autofire, range, piercing, and high damage! Loved it so much

3DS was my first experience with Terraria. It was pirated, but I liked it, so I bought the PC version. The UI is definitely really good for what they had to work with. I actually got someone to make a mod to have the NPC home banners always visible like they are in this version. The "new recipe unlocked" message was helpful for newbies too.

after being introduced to terraria through watching Stampy's terraria let's play (and playing the phone tutorial and having a blast), we finally got the 3ds version my little bro played it religiously. A few years later, we figured out that we basically played and 100% the worst version of terraria and bought the PC version. we played terraria religiously for years, months at a time, and nowadays we're more off and on. I don't have that much nostalgia for 3ds terraria, but I have some good memories of watching my little bro playing it.

I used to play 3ds Terraria a ton as a kid, and I remember how i encountered a strange bug where not only did the hallowed chest spawned in the portion of the dungeon before the cavern layer (so the dungeon guardians couldn't kill me), it was also unlocked for some reason? So i was able to sequence break and get the rainbow gun in pre hardmode and absolutely shred everything

Hopefully in 1.4.5 or any coming updates they bring back old 3ds and console content

11:49 My man didn’t know he disrespected lepus, the only boss that was definitely purely removed for being too hard.

Dude just casually gets a lucky uzi drop without intentionally farming for it. I don't know if I've EVER gotten an uzi in any of my regular Terraria playthroughs even with farming

I was really hoping to see the skeleton key get some love, you can stunlock kill a dungeon guardian with heart arrows and they drop a summon item for a mimi-dungeon guardian if I remember correctly

So this os the main way ive learned terraria and its very strange going from this broken mess to 1.4 on pc. Terraria will always be amazing no matter how broken it might be.

I haven't even beat the wof on 3DS since 2017 💀

15:25 "We're taking damage" He says as he stands in one place and allows himself to get hit by EVERYTHING on screen.

You can also find the Drax in pre-Hardmode in any chest at hell layer in the 3DS version, including wooden chests at the bottom of the caverns.

As much as i would love 1.4 on 3ds i love how its a time capsule. It was my first ever terrarria experience and i still enjoy it

I played this version a TON with my 3 younger siblings through local multiplayer. Some of the best times I've had.

One of my favorite sequence breaks that used to exist was being able to summon golem before killing plantera. this combined with the fact that you could break the traps in the temple, you could break the alter with a normal pickaxe, and that golem's head didn't go through blocks back then (iirc) allowed for you to easily kill golem right after skeletron. I found this by complete accident on my first play through because i was struggling with WoF, and got the idea that i could maybe enter the temple somehow. after a little experimentation, i found that you could just blow up the temple door to get in rather than using a hoik (which i didn't know existed at the time). i ended up building a box around the alter on the surface and filled it with traps to just melt away golem while i just stood above it doing literally nothing. i ended up getting golem's fist and i then used that to absolutely destroy WoF. think smarter, not harder.

Man, heart arrows were so broken, on old mobile I used them to farm Dungeon Guardians like 4 at a time. And with Destroyer, you have to hit him in the head to freeze him, it was pretty good though. And on Destroyer, his contact damage being way weaker than his probes was why Melee was really good for fighting him. You'd get a Drax, get your Chlorophyte, make a Claymore and melt him. Old Mobile was truly a gem, also Crimson was super rare at one point for worlds to spawn with, and same for the alternate Hardmode ores There was also a point where on character creation they gave you 50 of all the base ores (up to gold and platinum), so you could farm infinite of them by just making new characters. Also Lepus and Turkor were insane for pre-hardmode bosses. Turkor has more health than WoF, and Lepus can basically lock you into a VERY long (potentially infinite if you're stubborn) fight. Though Lava deals with it well. And man, the Tizona was always a fun weapons, as well as the Tonbogiri and all the old weapons and armours. And I miss all the old alternate enemies, like the Arch Wyvern, the Hornet alternative and the Orca Oh also being able to use a chest so long as it appears on your screen (you know, given the touch screen), also touch controls for placing and mining blocks makes a lot of sense...

This is such a great video for me, I ended up getting almost 2000 hours on 3ds terraria back in the day. Endless new worlds and characters, so many playthroughs. Thank you for the nostalgia Gungnir😌

my first terraria experience was a 3ds gameplay even seeing the layout here is nostolgic

I remember when you asked on stream about terraria 3ds glad to see you actually doing it

There was a glitch on the first versions where if you take the Twins to the top of the map, if they went passed the world limit, they would despawn, so if you "deleted" one of them then took down the other, it would count as defeating both so it made them by far the easist hard mode boss.

In older versions of 3DS terraria there was a exploit where if you rapidly click L and R to swap your weapons it would cancel the animation of the weapon you are using so for example you could use the boomstick or shotgun and rapidly shoot while canceling the long end lag animation to destroy bosses It is still possible to do this glitch however now you need to use the touch screen I dont remember exactly (because it has been multiple years) but i think it was either swap weapons rapidly or you needed to swap to the map and back to spam shoot the weapon

I remember joining multiplayer servers using terraria manager and just getting all the stuff for free. I think I even built a base in the sandbox server but I long gone forgot it's location. 😌

the "*NPC Name* would like to settle down" text is so nostalgic for me oml

18:27 Back when I used to play older version Terraria on Mobile/IOS (Cus 3DS shared pretty much the same content), the biome chests never appeared in Dungeon and I always thought that was normal. They only ever appeared in their respective biome for whatever chest they were (e.g Jungle, Corruption, Frozen). The only chests that were ever in Dungeon were locked Gold chests for some unthinkable reason.

And to think that this is the version that I got my start with Terraria in.

I loved the key molds, it felt good to have them already so you could get vampire knives way easier

This brings me way back to the 360 version of terraria. 1.2 was so much fun, especially when you were first learning how to do everything for the first time

Just saying, the reason why the there were specific recipes for the summons, weapons, and armor was because cobalt, mythril, adamantite were the original in the phone and ds versions, the other ores were added later on but the recipes were not updated.

Mobile/3ds terraria was such a vibe man. Good times

My first terraria experience absolutely loved this growing up

coming from old iphone/ipad terraria, i couldn’t be more happy. i haven’t played terraria for around 8 years before i got this on my 3ds this year and it reminds me so much of that old ios terraria

I love Terraria but the 3DS version ain’t it hahah

Hello! I still play Terraria on the Ps3 regularly! And the Sharanga can take you all the way to Plantera and even a little farther. Also the Molitov cocktail is broken, especially if your using frost armor.

I had the 360 version of Terraria first, then 3DS and finally Switch. I played all three plenty and enjoyed my time with each

this brings me back, man, I used to play terraria on my 3ds and my kindle when i was little, i remember all this old stuff

As someone who got Terraria on the 3ds back in 2017 used on game stop it's nice. Though I never could find a way to break it. I just compiled it up to Golam did try to fight Fishron but was impatient to find the worm. Maybe I'll return to it.

I still play the 3ds version super often, and it makes me happy seeing someone bigger give it some love! It's personally my favourite version!

i've literally never put more than a few minutes into terraria, i had always assumed it was just 2d minecraft and would get bored or frustrated with the controls, but this video popped up in my recommended and now i realize that it's genuinely one of the most insane looking games i've ever seen

I remember an old glitch back in 1.1 on consoles where you could randomly get dragon armor in wooden chests in your world. Console Terraria truly is a wild beast.

Honestly the 3DS edition to me is like the definitive old gen version. Old mobile stuff, old console stuff, classic zapinator; plus a bunch of fun jank. And I just really enjoy the controls, I swear nothing has beat it's lock-on system.

This video gives me nostalgia for something I've never experienced.

My old modded 3ds xl started acting weird and not reading extended memory games recently so I bought a “new” version xl and modded it. Recently I started playing a bunch of 3ds remasters on switch before I realized I was just missing my 3ds. I was 18 when the first ds hit the markets so I spent my 20s playing DS and 3DS. I still love the way they feel when you hold them. The games for DS and 3DS are just so good. Playing through b2/w2 and US/UM, Terraria, world ends with you, Rune Factory 4… just so so good.

What a shockingly relevant video for me to find lol, I haven't played it in a while but that's the only version of Terraria I own

20:02 did he missed a key mold?

Ah… the days of getting the Drax before wall of flesh and using Lepus to farm the crimson key mold with a pool of lava. Me and my brother spent hours playing this version together trying to get all the rare items and finding exploits. Good times.

I remember playing Terraria with my little bro and beating ocram for the first time. We loved the dragon armor and I remember the souls of blight. I would love to be able to relive those memories.

The only old content I never saw was Ocram. I played on a Kindle Fire back in like 1.2 and I even consistently used the version exclusive stuff. Really blew when I learned you can't just get away with buying sparkly wings during a blood moon in early hard mode anymore. Plus I used to use some of the version exclusive vanity that's long gone.

If you got to experience fighting Ocram, like this comment. (I bet a decent amount of players have.)

20:03 YOU MISSED A JUNGLE KEY MOLD

I remember this version running at like, 5 FPS and having incredibly awkward controls. Good to know it actually functions (somewhat) properly on the New 3DS, I suppose.

I know it'll never happen but I seriously want the console exclusives to come back to modern Terraria. As someone who's only ever played the console version, both old and modern now, this video brings back so many memories. Ocram was such a cool boss and the seasonal bosses are great ideas and fun challenges for early game.

Aw that old crafting menu made me nostalgia all over the place

This reminds me of when I would binge the StampyLongHead Terraria series in 2017

Omg I'd kill to play mobile terraria again in this time, it was so fun, especially ocram (which Fun fact) who had his own loot and soul as he was considered a mech boss

I played so much on the DS version of Terraria, It's such a good version ! Behing able to play Terraria everywhere feels very nice. I recently started to re-play Terraria on PC and I'm rediscovering the game, so much has changed it's really good !

Having over 750 hours in Terraria on the 3DS, I found the infinite heal trick only way after the 700th hour, which is still earlier than finding that you can make potions yourself, as I never thought about filling a bottle with water, thus never getting the recipes for potions… I had to wait for PC Terraria for that one.

more fun stuff in the 3ds version: 1. the valentine's event lasts for two weeks, not just a day 2. you can farm archdemons to get crystal shards PRE-HARDMODE 3. the clockwork assault rifle doesn't work as intended making it WAY stronger: it normally shoots in bursts of 3 with a delay between each burst. in the 3ds version however, it shoots two simultaneous bursts of three (so 6 bullets) with a MUCH shorter delay between bursts, easily overpowering the megashark by a lot 4. you can craft and sell party bullets for infinite money (they sell for 3 more copper than the crafting materials cost)

"Dude why am I actually enjoying the 3DS version of this game" bro that was me with the mobile version when Amazon gave it away. I got it just cause it was free, didn't really expect to enjoy it much because I'm not super into playing games on a touchscreen, but MAN did I have fun with that game.

I played old Terraria on the ps4 with my brother and watching the Ocram part gave me so much nostalgia, specifically the dragon armor. After Ocram, we thought Moon Lord was in the game at the time but sadly our hopes were not fulfilled. Years later we bought Terraria for the PC, fought Moon Lord, but was confused on where Ocram was. We still have most of the old worlds we played and I sometimes boot the game up just to remember.
