Can I Beat Terraria Master Mode Using Only Summon Weapons? 

Pro tip from an old school summoner: if you build a wall behind your arenas the spider staff can actually reach flying enemies.

I like how he actually did everything including events

This dude single-handedly fought more times against the empress of light than I probably have attempted against every boss combined since I first started playing Terraria 9 years ago. That’s insane dedication

I feel like the Empress of Light daytime fight would've gone much smoother if you used an infinite flight mount like the UFO, Cute Fishron, Witch Broom or Pirate Ship mount

Quick tip for future summoner playthroughs: instead of looking for finch staff you can build a graveyard where Abigail's bloom spawns. No need to look around half of your world with bare hands.

Honestly, subscribing for that pure dedication in that Empress of Light determination to get her. Holy hell man.

This is a masterpiece i have only started playing terraria last week and now you make me wanna keep playing the game. I like the game, i like you. You have earned another subscriber keep up the good work.

This video kept appearing in my recommendations, and I kept putting it off because I thought to myself "With summon weapons? That's not really a challenge. You're just choosing a class." I finally gave this video a go and quickly discovered it was less about the summon weapons, and more about your master mode journey. It was a surprisingly fun watch. Nice job :)

ending gave me goosebumps, also DID ANYONE REALISE THAT 1 PALADIN DROPPED BOTH THE PALADINS SHIELD AND THE HAMMER

As someone who mains Summoner, there's a few things that I think should be pointed out from this run; 1. Forgetting the Pygmy Necklace really hurt you going into Wall of Flesh. You rectified that later, but it's still a pretty important item for Summoners. 2. Limiting yourself from using Turrets is just needlessly nerfing yourself. Having access to things like the Queen Spider or Lightning Traps is a major amp during most fights and events. Once again, you lost out on your DPS races from not having your turrets available. 3. Why were you Armored vs Daytime Empress? All it takes is one search of her behaviour and you'd know that having armor vs her is pointless; She's a DPS race, down to the core. 4. That first Destroyer fight was lolcity. I remember that happening to me once and being so confused. You need to either go all-out on the initial summon of it, or pace yourself so the Probes aren't overwhelming you. 5. Some minions are limited by how much damage they can do per . Blade Staff summons don't fully ignore s -- they have their own set. I think the magic number for them was six, but it's been a while. Either way, mixing your minions is the best way to max your DPS, since once one set is maxed out, the others are still doing their own damage via localized s. 6. If you want to take your Summoner play to the next level, look into Whip Stacking. If you're good enough, you can stack 3 to 4 whip buffs at a time, really amping your DPS -- both from whip buffs themselves and from minions doing a hell of a lot more damage. (Yes, the damage amp stacks.) 7. While probably not allowed per your rules, the Rod of Discord (and subsequently Rod of Harmony) is a Summoner's best friend. You want to get away from damage, so having an emergency GTFO button helps a lot. 8. Why didn't you ever use Hallowed Armor with a Cross Necklace+? You get so many s plus a guaranteed dodge every now and again. It would've helped a fair bit vs the bosses between Mechs and Pumpkin Moon completion. Otherwise, congrats on beating Master Mode with Summoner. It's much more difficult than some realize, especially Daytime Empress. But you stuck through it and finished it.

This is amazing, i really enjoy watching others to see just how different our gaming styles are

9:48 oh nah I think that went over everyone’s heads 😂

As a summoner main, here's some tips: 1. Pre-boss will always be the most grindy part of progression, and pre-mech will be tough 2. Destroyer, because you have such low defense, is a LOT harder to tank, which makes him a much harder mech by comparison to other classes. A tip for the fight though, Optic Staff is actually among the best summons for that fight specifically 3. against Queen Slime I generally use Imp/Hornet staff, they hit the second phase a lot more consistently. 4. Kill empress at night for Kaleidoscope before attempting daytime, the whip helps a ton. Also, I suggest fighting her on a Witch's Broom, as it gives much more precise movement, which is great for Empress, and frees accessories to max damage and speed up the fight. on the whole though, this summarizes Summoner playthroughs pretty well!

i love as soon as he puts on the pirate outfit, hes instantly able to kill the twins 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Edit: also the photocards of him standing next to the relic after each boss is really silly, i like it

I like that "accidents happens" is actually a part of this. Most RU-vidrs doing a challenge video of "only using this in the game!" Usually reset, or return to a previous save when they don't use the thing of the challenge, and that always happen as an accident! So it's refreshing to see someone acknowledge this.

one of the best and most entertaining terraria video ive seen in a while. it's educational, intriguing, and has so much dedication, and the editing is just amazing. you did really well on this video. keep it up man.

Obviously you went ahead and beat it, but as someone who primarily plays summoner I will say there were some things you could have done to make your playthrough a bit easier. (Note that I'm currently only to the plantera battle at this point in the video lol) 1. Summoner potions. They allow you an extra minion slot. Very worth it even though you have to do a lot of fishing in the underground jungle (in fact you can fish up a ton while your minion is farming for the snapthorn and you don't even need to get the zoologist whip) edit: just paused and saw you do have summoner potions lol. I was mostly just surprised you didn't have them in the flinx staff phase because I try to have them constantly through the whole game lol 2. Farm WoF to get the firecracker. In early HM I tend to use both the Cool Whip and the Firecracker 3. Early game it's a lot easier to get Abigail's flower than the finch staff. They do comperable damage and if you struggle to get through certain biomes early game it can be hard to get to living trees. 4. Sentrys are summon weapons and for me have been the make or break difference in some boss fights

For anyone actually atempting this: Get yourself a sharktooth necklace, The honey is a good piece of defense, and the defense ignore works very well with the blade staff, since it hits very often. Since the blade staff has a low base damage, percentual increases don't do much, so the shark neckless is one of the best damage ups you can get for it.

What a fantastic video, some great Terraria gameplay and I really enjoyed your script! looking forward to the next projects

That Master Bait joke was pretty good ngl

Master mode True Summoner was legitimately THE MOST fun I've ever had in this game. To this day my summoner character is now the main character i use.

Vampire Frog Staff: So what about me. Quenched : You dont exist!

This is a great video, I thought this was gonna be dunking on summoners the whole time but you just wanted to try them out, kudos for sharing this btw, you do some good editing and have good commentary, wish you luck on future endeavors

The humor, content and editing was on point, thanks you!

Actually, everything you craft with the Spider Fangs doesn't require a hardmode anvil, for some reason it only requires that you have a regular lead or iron anvil. I tend to prepare a spider farm in prehardmode so that I can get it all ready quickly once Hardmode hits.

I can’t wait for the new summon weapons in the next update it seems like we’re getting a lot of them

Nice video, honestly I love the summoner class. As thanks to certain mechanics like whip stacking, I feel it can be a lot more interesting than any other class. Such as how certain minions are better in certain situations. Also IIRC minecarts can make plantera much easier. As you can move around her only focusing on damage. Ow and Tiki armour is arguably better than Spooky armour for whip builds due to it's whip buffs. Well assuming this is 1.4.4 anyway. Ow and a quick tip for Daytime EoL the Witch's Broom from the Pumpkin Moon is amazing. It is fast enough to dodge all of her attacks and having infinite flight makes fighting Empress a lot easier. Since it basically keeps you at basically the perfect range to whip her. Though I would have tried to get the Xeno Staff or Raven Staff first. As the Deadly Spheres just struggle to keep up with Empress due to how fast she is. That said while hard I consider her the best fight in the game. Due to how it is almost like a dance with her attack patterns. Also with Solar Pillar IIRC it is way easier when you stay on the ground. As when flying it spawns way worse enemies. Finally for the Moonlord fight Stardust Dragon is a much better choice that Teraprisma. Basically for fast enemies Teraprisma for slower enemies Stardust has much higher damage. Ow and Stardust + Firecracker is one of the best damage combos for Summoner. Since Firecracker scales off of the summons damage. And Stardust has the highest single hit damage of any summon.

The fact that you wrote off the tempest staff as bad is just.. wow That thing helped me beat daytime EoL in like, 3 attempts

The sheer amount of energy, effort and dedication is insane in this man. Gonna try mastermode myself now! (Not gonna stick to summoners build tho LOL)

i cant explain how glad i am to find youre channel this content, script, editing and all is amazing. Thank you

Another tip from a summoner-in-progress. You can whip stack, so basically the morning star from plantera dungeon does a ton of damage for less atk speed, you can also use the dark harvest from pumpkings on pumpkin moon to have that extra atk speed buff when you hit an enemy, there is also a summon *tag* damage stat which basically instead of one whip doing 8 extra damage to the summon for approx 3 seconds after an enemy is hit by that whip with 8 tag damage it will do 8 tag damage, but if you use another whip that had 6 tag damage after 3 seconds hit the enemy once with it the summon will do 14 extra damage then keep attacking with your stronger whip until around another 3 seconds. Really useful for bosses.

No way you only have 25k subs. Man even off just this video you deserve so much more. Keep doin this buddy.

Yeah I never really touched summoner for awhile but now that I’m starting my master mode summoner it is definitely a fun class once you get the hang of it and it isn’t as bad as I thought it was I must say this class is fun. Also for anyone who doesn’t know since I see the issue on plantera here if you destroy all the background walls in your arena it makes plantera slow as hell as it can’t grip walls except those way outside the arena.

Bro woke up and chose pain

Watching someone playing true summoner for the first time is so cool. You can see them getting a lot better with each minute passing by.

such a great video I would have thought you had more subs and you definitely deserve more keep up the good work!!!

Really fantastic video, the only thing that could be improved with the summoner gameplay is whip stacking. You can use multiple whips to stack the summon tag damage, also with whips for example after a hit increased whip speed can be taken advantage by other whips for the buff duration

Congrats on the recent growth, you deserve it. Ready for another banger

I’m glad that you made this. I love being a summoner and my friends think that I’m the weakest of the 4 of us. But I agree, summoner takes a lot of skill due to the little defense and small damage for a lot of the game

Hell yeah dude, went to subscribe and realized I already was. Double good job!

Let’s acknowledge that, whips, make “minions” more effective Let that sink in

Great video! But I'm surprised by the lack of Dreadnautilus, the sanguine staff is one of my absolute favorite summon weapons

Actually the best tarraria video i have ever watched. Im shocked i actually sat down and watched the whole half hour when i could of been revising!!

The actual challenge was editing it all down to 30 minuutes

you not attacking the start of the destroyer at 11:42 hurt but great vid, started watching when you released the traps only vid and i love your story telling

brooooooo this went soooooo hard! Also, I can't agree more that plantera is both a great adversary and lover😏

The amount of dedication, from playing the hardest class and on the hardest difficulty, not to mention the amount of attempts on the EoL. Subscribed.

This video was amazing! Great job.

You got a subscriber, I really like your effort. Because I’m doing Master Mode Mage playthrough, and I can see that hardmode can get you stuck for a while.

as a summoner main for many years and as someone who has heated master mode summoner 9(?) times in the past couple months, 1. abigail’s flower is op early pre boss up to later in prehardmode mode. 2. go jungle fishing as early as you can so you can get a lot of summoner potions 3. go for the sanguine staff as early as you can as you can go up to post plantera where you get the deadly sphere staff 4. tempest staff deals much more damage than the deadly sphere staff. 5. do pillars before daytime empress for stardust dragon 6. do nighttime empress before daytime empress for kaleidoscope besides that i think you did pretty well for your first time!

A tip for the spider staff. The climb on background walls so if you put walls behind your arenas they become essentially flying summons

Mann, I love your videos so much. I have been looking for the right mtoivation to play terraria and this looks just like it! Keeo uo the hard work and see you in your next video! 🤩❤️‍🩹

Respect bro 🙌 Great content ❤

eye love your humor. I like the way you're editing your videos. Keep it up!

Absolutely incredible video. You deserve way more recognition man, keep it up!

This is the best video I've seen in a long time, definitely earned a sub!

nice video i have a good tip for summoners if you will use the spider staff just summon 3 spiders vs bosses or the dmg will be too low

To be completely honest. Everything after that emptess fight was easy mode, but well earned easy mode. Nothing in the base game can beat day time empress of light without cheese. Your dedication is out of this world for doing that when you did. Massive props.

seriously great video, i watched the whole thing!

I'm stealing that relic pillar idea - love that 👀 nice video man though I skipped to the end and watched you murder that ML hehe - never knew the sword summon looks like some awesome wings tbh

I love the look of the spider armour, so when I move on to better armour sets I always equip it in vanity

Summoner is truly tied for best class with Melee for me! Who’d have thought doing nothing is some of the most fun you can have in Terraria? Just kidding of course, summons are very pleasant due to them defending you but the lack of armor is seriously brutal, even more so in master mode. Very well done!

such an amazing narrarive!! this video was so fun to watch!!

Great video!!!!! The Rather Quenched show was a great bit not me playing calamity infernum til DoG then playing death mode master mode and it being mad easy (I'm on WoF rn) I wish master mode and death mode were reworks to the bosses to make them more fun and difficult like infernum I prefer infernum on every boss except DoG and onwards, DoG and yharon are really annoying to dodge the dashes and exo mechs and calamitas is just absolute chaos I can't be bothered to figure out how to actually dodge

Bruh ain't no way daytime empress went to 208 attempts and said it so casually yet planterra was rage by attempt 5

That Empress of Light day fight was an absolutely insane decision :'D Well done though! If you (or someone else reading this) has issues wkth some minions not being able to fly when you're fighting bosses you can just put walls up. They don't need to cover all the arena as well, just tall sections of thin walls over and over help your minions like the Spiders attach to them and actually attack the boss. Also, bombing out the background walls for the Plantera fight makes it so she spawns less...plant tentacles (?) to hold onto

Awesome video dude, I love that you did the events as well 😤👌

The amount of times you fought the empress was actually insane. I absolutely love your vids!

Why did you ban sentries? They are part of the summoning kit

that was a masterpeice

wow nice gameplay. new sub!! hope to have more nice videos

Long time summoner, spiders can be chessed by entering the nest with sloped blocks, you can also increase dps by stacking multiple whips (attack speed buff + damage whip) which is very noticable with the morning star, and using multiple minions can be useful in some cases (some for debuff procing, most for dps. Ex. a couple of stardust dragon with the rest terraprisma due to how stardust dragon dmg is calculated)

I love the doing the minibosses, but no! You're making the classic blunder of summoner, not diversifying your whips and minions. This is most poignant with whips as their affects are so important that I use the snapthorn for its jungle's fury buff all the way until I get the durendal. Also most do what you do and simply use one minion for all their slots, which can be fine, but causes problems depending on the summon, this is especially bad with the spider staff where, for a single target, there's no reason to summon more than three of them due to i-frames, plus diverse minion sets can do things like apply statuses like I always mix imps and hornets pre-hm for that, plus mixed minion sets look cool. Also the blade staff is good in niche situations but I wouldn't use it generally. Also melee flasks work on whips, I favor ichor, or cursed flames if you're not opposed to using the golden shower purely for the debuff. Also the papyrus scarab stacks with all its materials, the magma gauntlet is better than the feral claws for several reasons even if the melee damage doesn't work, I'd recommend keeping a slime mount, king or queen, on you at all times to prevent things like that poor skeleton fight. The shield of cthulu is a crutch that many rely too heavily on for far too long, don't generally use boots with wings as they don't synergize well, use a flying mount instead of wings if you like the way mount flight feels as it frees up an accessory slot, all emblems stack, the forbidden armor is excellent in early HM, the OOA is majorly overlooked and is an excellent source of free damage in the form of sentries pre HM, no I don't care about the houndius shootius it's utterly abominable and you know it, definitely use a dash specifically for the martian saucers and just go back and forth, the tempest staff is awful unless obtained pre mech, for daytime empress there are many guides but a good dodge build and a minecart track can well not quite cheese her, well, I mean, it's as much cheese as American cheese is. Did you not do Dreadnautilus or Torch God?

Your main mistake in the Plantera fight was skipping out on the OSOGOF tunnel

amazing quality. looking forward to your future content. have a nice day.

wow the editing is amazing i am working on aa video rn and am very impressed thanks for being a great creator you're so inspiring

Can I ask why you decided to not use sentries? They're a fun part of summoner especially when doing the Old One's Army.

forgot dreadnautilies

That was intense ;). Great vid.

This is my first time watching one of his videos and I LOVE IT!

me internally screaming because he is not using optic staff on plantera 💀💀💀💀 he could have killed it in way less tries

talent? skill? summoner takes none of that

Had a very good time watching your video, keep it going

Yo I actually loved this video and I just wanna say great job.

How is this a challenge when summoner is literally a class?

quick tip you can use the Durendal whip alot in your play through it really helps with the 25 atack speed buff you get and that buff can go to other whips

I finished Expert mode as a summoner (I'm a Magic main), and it is probably my second favorite class, it's not a bad one by any means. The whips are very nice when it comes to range and damage, and it feels amazing to whip an enemy just so your army goes charging towards it right after. Very good class, and, more importantly, it's a very fun class to play!

This was a joy to watch, ty!

The best whip in terraria is firecracker, you get it from WoF and you use it all the way to plantera. Cool whip is usually used as a support whip for whip stacking.

Great video - was fun to watch!

I have watched this movie many times. Helps me with my playing and videos. Thanks :)

This guy: beats daytime EoL in master mode as a summoner Me: *internal screaming*

You can have the spiders do damage to the mech bosses by putting backgrounds on your arena. Spiders used to just fly but they got nerfed back to being wall climbers because they would ruin progression

Tip: Making a base directly on top of the world spawn first thing will avoid being spawnkilled once day comes, and will let NPCs move in.

Continue in your journey man.. have a good life and love it, im saying this because my life sucks even though i didnt do anything wrong. phone broken, getting bad grades, cant install terraria in my laptop because steam doesnt work for me anymore (when i download stuff, the downloading process is stuck in 0%), cant beat skeletron in mobile.

This was a very good video, thank you very much

I had so so so much fun watching this video, although I do wish you explain the weapon a bit more but still,a very entertaining video 😊😊😊

I LOVED watching this as someone who loves playing summoner as much as I can.

Empress fight is brutal, great job

ngl this dude quickly became my fav terraria youtuber with just 2 videos
