Terraria, But I Update After Every Boss 

A lot of people have asked me how to play the older versions of Terraria, and unfortunately Relogic does not make this task easy. There is no easy way to downgrade your game, unlike games like Minecraft where it's built into their launcher. You will need to use a tool called "TerrariaDepotDownloader". Use this guide here to know how to use it properly, and make sure you backup your Terraria files! - forums.terraria.org/index.php?threads/terrariadepotdownloader-downgrade-to-any-version.107519/ This is NOT a pirate tool, as it requires you to actually own your own copy of Terraria on Steam. This is what I used for the majority of the updates, but it will only go as far back as 1.1.2, as no manifests exist for prior updates from that point. So to get an update such as 1.0, the only way to play them is through backups. You may be able to find backups of these versions across the internet, such as on internetarchive, but I don't condone that as it is technically pirating. Hope this helps some of you :) Don't forgot to subscribe

I absolutely love the fact that the common mushroom literally hasn’t changed like *in the slightest* over the years

You really feel all the quality of life changes going back to older updates

"The game is almost over now" If I had a penny for every time I'd heard that. Can't wait for the next final update!

Re-Digit said that if you die to a boss' attack while having also defeating said boss roughly at the same time, it counts as you, the player, winning.

I unironically want old hornets back. I'm so sick of constantly getting interrupted in my pursuits of an early boomstick by a fuckin bullet hell of stingers from hornets I can't even see due to being offscreen.

In the old DS version, you could wait in your inventory and potion sickness would keep going. You could pretty much cheese any boss.

Since I started at 1.2, it’s amazing seeing all the progress before that. This is also a FANTASTIC creator and was surprised he had less than 100k subs

I failed to get into terraria when I first tried it, simply because it frustrated me how I knew nothing about it compared to Minecraft as an example. Now i want to play again even though I have watched so many playthroughs that some people would call it completely spoiled.... Eh. I'm just happy all these videos are bringing back what made me get the game in the first place. Thank you for contributing to that 💝

Actually you could have made an artificial snow biome for a 1.0 world. In fact that's the whole purpose of the frost legion. The enemies in the frost legion drop snow blocks so you could get snow enemy drops in prior worlds. It's also why it's the most pointless invasion event in the game as it's purpose is basically gone.

this was genuinely a huge nostalgia trip, been playing since 2012 and remember being excited for every update (no matter how delayed 90% of them were) surprised this channel isn't bigger

This game is the very definition of _"labour of love"._

It was insane how difficult Duke Fishron was, it was considered the final boss of 1.2 though so it’s kind of obvious

31:01 Snow biomes were actually introduced in 1.1, but they were rare and bare-bones, so 1.2 fleshed them out and guaranteed that a world would generate with one.

Going back to the old version of any game always feels super different. It's like the uncanny valley of gaming

I'm pretty sure the snow legion is still in the game (If I remember correctly the summon is dropped by a frost moon enemy), allowing you to get the snow, dropped by all the enemies in the event, that is needed to create an artificial snow biome, letting you fight deerclops on your 1.0 world. Probably not worth the effort but it is possible

Yeah gotta love Terraria, I picked it up a long time ago for $2.50 and have been playing all the different versions. So much free content added throughout the years and QoL additions it really is amazing. I don't remember there only being wooden chests but I do remember sky island chests requiring gold keys to be unlocked so that used to be post dungeon content. And then ofcourse the BIG update when Wall of flesh was added and hard mode was introduced.

Huge bits of nostalgia for me, having started the game on launch and having one of the first clans fail when we realized we had no clue how to do multiplayer without tons of problems xD

The keys from the dungeon in 1.2 was used to unlock the chests in the sky islands back then. It was so cool imo.

Actually the Snow biome was introduced in 1.1.1, the Christmas update; 1.2 just changed it so it generated on all worlds, whereas before it was only guaranteed to generate in new worlds during the Christmas season, having a 1 in 3 chance of being generated otherwise :)

Try out featherfall potion, especially without dashing, its especially useful on EoL and bosses you can't run away. It's like a wings upgrade that allows gliding Pillars(Solar in particular) can become far easier when with decent terrain/arena If you prevent Solar enemies from rushing you, its far not a problem to stay near the ground and pick enemies

i remember when terraria came out and my dad showed me, had no idea how much of an impact it would have on me in the future :) still one of my faves to this day, and i love to see its progress!

Seeing 1.2.4 will never not be nostalgic for me. I started on that update and had hundreds of hours of fun with it

Look as great as modern Terraria is I’m always gonna have an affinity for 1.2.4 given that mobile was stuck on that update for like 3 whole years and that was the only version of Terraria that I played for a while lol. Great video bro!

Such a beautifully edited video, you deserve at least 100k subs

for a newer player like me, it's cool to see how the game I came to only about a year ago started out in its humble beginnings. For example, some weapons which are considered bad weapons now were actually top tier in older versions of the game because of less content and no difficulties above classic mode, while other weapons were great back then but still hold up as a great weapon even years later when the game has changed so dramatically. In a way, it's like being given a history lesson.

Man, This video brings back a TON on nostalgia. I first played terraria in 1.1 on the Xbox 360. then my brother got into the game and we play 1.2 on the same console then 1.3 on a Xbox 1 S. I love this and I thank you for all the memories that are now back.

This is crazy, This brings me back to when Pbat was showing off the game 11 years ago. Damn

Goddamn this takes me back to 2012 when the Yogscast first covered the game I bought it and played it ever since. Absolutely insane to think about

I got in on the original 1.0. It's kind of laughable how much stuff has changed. I also still have my OG world! One thing you didn't mention in what Terraria doesn't have is traps - they didn't exist in 1.0. So, at least mining underground was pretty easy! :)

Watching you play original first phase Terraria before any updates was such a nostalgic moment for me. I played terraria since it first released so this was such a treat to watch.

I managed to get back into terraria in 1.4 a few years back, and watching this makes me remember why i play the game as if the QOL changes dont exist sometimes lmao

shout out to the devs for sticking with this game and working with fans to make it into the perfectly balanced masterpiece it is today

Huh, well I've never had much trouble with the Solar Pillar after my first few battles against it. Staying close to the ground when you don't want to fight Crawtipedes is the first thing, but just as long as I kept attacking everything and not letting anything get close to me, I was fine. For me, the Nebula Pillar was probably the hardest.

I remember back when I was a kid as a mobile player when 1.3 came out and I later was allowed to buy it on my PC I was so shocked by the new content from 1.2 to 1.3. It was such a massive feeling as I've been wanting to get the PC version for a long time at that point. Good times

This is my first time watching your channel and I won't lie the moon lord fight probably had me the most confused I've ever been it was definitely unexpected

hey i just witnessed this upload. perfect for eating now

I first played Terraria in December 2011. Not for long tbh, but revisited in 1.4. Quite a masterpiece I grabbed in early development. I subscribed, let's see what challenges you can achieve.

The furthest back I can remember is terraria on the 3ds. I never understood why enemies dropped a key mold instead of the key. I'm glad in later updates they changed that. I also remember the fact that you needed all the emblems to make the avenger emblem. Another thing I'm glad they changed. I love how much attention and patience the developers and the players had for this game :)

i remember back when 1.3 came out i watched the trailer and got recommended a video of Red and Blue playing through 1.0 before the game released. pretty sure it's still on the terraria channel to this day, and it's super cool to see the vast progress that was made between then and now. plus it's fun to watch devs play their own games (especially if they're bad at it lol). Just neat to get the creator's perspective on the thing, ya know?

every time you call something from v1.0 "old" i can feel a new hair turning grey 😂 this is basically the only version i know and one of the games i grew up on, feels so strange yet familiar to finally see gameplay of this first version after soooo many years! ❤

I started playing in 1.1, feels nostalgic seeing these old versions.

Your choice of music is my favorite part of your videos. Genuine nostalgia.

this is a really cool video! i first played terraria a ton sometime before the 1.2 update and seeing the old sun graphic brought me back lol. i took a long hiatus from the game after that and returning to it in its 1.4 state is WILD!

Personally I started playing in 2016 but seeing all of the previous version was something beautiful to be quite honest.

This video made me way more grateful for 1.4.4 lol. Really enjoyed this one. Idk how you found truffle worms without expanding your glowing mushroom biome tho, i wish i could have the same luck

I remember playing one of the earlier versions thanks to you. It brought back so much.

Loved hearing the mii music starting to play at the end

Just discovered your channel. Solid content. I have been doing a semi challenge where I go full summoner using only Abigail (and whips). Pretty fun partly because I adore Don't Starve so much.

Really good video! I started playing Terraria in 1.3, so it is cool to see the older versions

I used to play the legacy version on the ps3, this explains so much, like the king slime spawn which was also on ps4.

ive played every version of terraria and i still love the game, core part of my childhood 10/10 game

I liked the idea the commentary is engaging and entertaining. But what I liked most about this video is the nostalgia as a player who started whit 1.1 version it was a very big summery of my past 10+ gaming years whit terraria. I want to thank you for this comforting feeling you caused. You don't really know how much it means to me!

you are severely underrated my man, this was a huge nostalgia trip

dang all the quality of life improvements you went over at the start, thinking about it, I don't think I've ever played terraria after all those things were added. it's been a very long time since I've played it. auto opening doors and walking up blocks goes crazy I gotta try modern terraria

as someone who's been with the game since launch week , it's so so cool to see a condensed version of how the game has progressed :D so much nostalgia

Always enjoy these challenge vids 💥

honestly, using purification powder to make it so you have to beat a boss before getting shadow orbs/crimson hearts... ...until the world gen inevitably breaks and spawns them outside the corruption/crimson hearts

1.0.0 actually had a wrapper executable for it that would let you change the resolution until it was added officially, you can still find it online somewhere and I use it when I play old Terraria every once in a while

Bonus points for using Hoenn music in the video (Using Kumu's remix is cool too)

easily the best terraria youtuber. keep up the great content

Theres is no way you don't hit your end of the year sub goal! I started watching you a couple days ago starting with you all achievement vids and now im hooked. The quality of you videos deserves so much more attention and praise. Keep it up man❤

i commend you for placing the walls without smart cursor... truely a daunting task

Some other weird things about early Terraria: - before 1.0.6 hooks didn't have a hotkey, you had to use them from hotbar. There were also only the OG and the Ivy Whip, the gem hooks are 1.2 IIRC. - damage classes were added in 1.1, as you can see in 1.0.4 your Vilethorn just does "8 damage" - before shadow chests the older hell weapons were enemy drops. The Sunfury and Flamelash were dropped by Bone Serpents for example. - while they got rid of block types and generalised the pickaxe to break all blocks, the hammer to break all walls and the axe to break trees in 1.1, using the hammer to break heart crystals and furniture remained for longer, and using it to break Shadow Orbs and Demon Altars remains even today.

Perfect timing 👌

How do you play the old versions? This has had me stumped for a while. Great vid btw really cool concept.

20:22 the combining thing stuck with me and sometimes I will literally fight the WoF multiple times only to remember that they don't do that anymore

You explaining how stuff used to work pre1.3 is nostalgic af

I started playing at 1.2, and then stopped at 1.3.4 and came back for labour of love. I'm amazed by how much I've missed just from that, it's actually bananas to look at how far the game has come!

Would of been cool if you fought ocram

I started with 1.0.4 and my brain still classifies things like the infinite timer on summons, the Hell backdrop etc as "those new additions". Human brains are weird.

When he went over Key Moulds and stuff I really went “First time?” because I started on mobile where all this stuff was commonplace.

Crazy to see how much this game has changed over 12 years

queen slime is crying rn

7:03 ahh the butter sword in the hotbar how nostalgic

This was a fun and beautiful video. Thanks for your work!

Nice vid

1:24 that sun gives me 1.2.1 nostalgia

I used to play this game when it was first released. Completely forgot about it until I saw your video and had so many memories come back to me!

If you ever revisit this, I suggest you showcase the tricks on each version, for example: On 1.1 they created the gun FFF and forgot to nerf it, so you can shoot without bullets or On 1.3 they added boss ZZZ but it was almost impossible to beat because of X (later fixed), but you can cheese it with Y. or on 1.23 there was a bug where you could use guns with swords. --- all above are not real examples of course. And you should use all those strange things or showcase before the devs fixed/patched. It is nice to see the difference in visuals, but I imagine knowing that some weapon was OP and seeing you use it, would be more fun.

THX, this was pretty nostalgic for a terraria veteran such as myself who plays the game since 1.1

I remember when the Duke Fishron update first dropped (I started with Pumpkin Moon update). I had so much trouble with him to the point that I just built a bridge of wood platforms in the sky and I just attack him while I run away from him on the platform. If I got to the other edge of the world, I just fly over him and repeat the process. It wasn't until I return to the game after taking a break for several years because of school that I realized "Wait. I can just build an arena at the ocean biome instead of building this sky bridge." 😅😅

its been awhile since i saw the keymolds.... thanks for the nostalgia

Played it when it first came out on mobile, remember spending forever to get a holy hand grenade just to blow a giant hole In the ground

I can't remember whether it was 1.0 or a bit later, but snow biomes existed prior to 1.2. The twist is that rather than spawning normally in any old world, they had a low (i think like 1/6 chance) of spawning in at spawn instead. There also wasn't really anything interesting about them other than the fact that they were made of snow.

3:02 "You can see the old sprite" **Proceeds to stand DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF SAID SPRITE**

omfgg bro the mario and luigi partners in time music during the skeletron fight wow man i love you

I started back at 1.1 on my old Xbox 360 seeing the old furnace sprite and coin sprites bring back so much nostalgia

Very nostalgic seeing all the old terraria updates, i still have a lot of nostalgia for 1.1 from watching old RU-vid playthroughs as a kid (I think the main one i watched was from toby games? Idk it's been over 10 years at this point lol). I didn't end up buying the game myself until 1.2 dropped, which is the reason im one of like 5 people who actually prefer the crimson to the corruption. Because all the playthroughs i saw before were on 1.1 i thought i got some sort of super rare biome LOL. Doesn't feel like it's been 10 years since i first played terraria, but here we are.

You could get snow by farming the frost legion, and created an artificial snow biome to fight Deerclops.

This video is enlightening the times I played Terraria with my brother as we experienced all this during when tutorial world was a thing

awesome video, its nice seeing the old and new, i started at 1.2 and its been so long since!

Ok guys hear me out. Terraria with randomized key binds for maximum difficulty P.S: nice vid bro its nice to see a youtuber knowing they will get big in a few months

As someone who used to play Terraria on Xbox 360, this brought back memories. Many memories.

I began on 1.2 and I remember wood armor was just introduced and I was excited to see how in depth the game was.

You brought back so many memories on 1.2.4 i had so many worlds

The molds and ocram were my childhood. I used to have those in my inventory :sob:

Seeing how much this game has changed since I last "played" is insane I mostly stopped playing around 1.1

Ahhh, the nostalgia of Terraria 1.0. I don't miss it. Been with this game for the whole journey and boy I really would not go back.

I have never realized how early on I played this game. I remember having to grind out Goblin Army's for them to drop Rocket Boots. I have no idea that 1.1 is where they removed that and instead you had to buy them from the Tinkerer.
