Ok thanks very much
If the golem has not been beaten, it will not work. Hoik will, but it's best to just get the key from plantera. Nvm, i see the blockage. But yeah, still only hoik.
It works post-plantera, not post-golem
Right, but don't you need to unlock it before that may be available?
No, the door just exists
Why would it trigger upon opening the door instead of triggering with all the other events that happen after killing plantera?
Because so much of golem and temple stuff has changed and also terraria doesn’t make sense sometimes
To my knowledge you can't touch or do anything with wires in the temple until Post-Golem.
You can still take out the traps (can’t verify the wires part I can’t see why you wouldn’t)
I mean it has been a min since I've done vanilla but my last vanilla game I do remember that you can mine the pressure plates but you can't touch the wires or traps until beating Golem and picksaw respectively.
Edit: I checked the wiki and although possible to use wire in the temple it is impossible to see and cut until Golem is killed
Fair enough, I only ever take the pressure plates and spikes anyways as without those the temple is safe anyways
You can definetly see the wires pre golem. Im pretty sure you can cut them too. You just need the wire cutter from the mechanic
You can only break traps with the picksaw or greater. Pressure plates can be broken with any pick though
Yeah that’s what I meant by take out the traps, it’s easier to just take the plates and it makes the traps useless so it’s a win win
Are you suggesting that temple blocks can't be mined before the golem is defeated? Unless the Xbox version is different, then a picksaw or better will break those blocks regardless of which bosses have been beaten.
Just to test, I took the mining rig to a completely fresh world and mined into the temple no problem. The door won't open until after Plantera, but a strong enough pick will get you in anytime.
and how is OP supposed to get a strong enough pick?
Any pick strong enough is locked behind golem, the picksaw is dropped by golem directly. The only way to achieve this would be to use a separate character with sufficient items to do so, or to go into another world with an accessible temple, defeat golem there, get the picksaw, and come back.
You really just said "unless xbox is weird you don't need to beat golem to break blocks, just get the drop from golem"
It's too late to stop the train now, but the topic said "without solar pick" and didn't have any clarifying info, so I misunderstood what the issue was.
You need the picksaw(dropped by golem itself) or better to break lihzard brick. Without golem you can’t do cultist to get the pillar pickaxes
even if you have a strong enough pick, the blocks are programmed to be indestructible until the appropriate progress has been made on the world
That isn't the case. I did just as I said: began a fresh world and used the mining rig to excavate through the temple. I stopped when I reached the altar. Zero bosses defeated.
I used my vortex pick afterward just to check, and it also worked to break the lizhard blocks.
Hoiks wouldn't work too many layers
No it would, I forget the setup but if you get yourself in there and repeatedly hammer a certain position (relative to the player) you could get through the top.
Teleports won't work, since you can't place wires in the temple before killing golem
shimmer
Can't place wiring in the temple before golem
Any means of teleportation will not work in the temple until you beat golem, that means no rod of discord/harmony, and no teleportation potions, you also straight up can’t use wiring in there until you beat golem either
All means will work after you beat Plantera
world generation is wild bro
go for an item world or hack in the DCU
Im joking, hoik or use rod of discord
hoiking is easier to do tho
Hoiking also takes less time to set up
farming time for hoik: as long as it takes you to chop a tree
farming time for RoD: until the heat death of the universe
pumps, a lot of wire, and shimmer.
This is the most creative use for Shimmer I have heard yet.
I played on the "more traps" seed and accidentally got into the dungeon before the Wall of Flesh, cause a shimmer trap send me in. I dit not survive that one xd
I am guessing before Skeletron too?
No, my friend and i already beat skeletron at that point. It was on the other side of the map, so it wouldnt have mattered anyway. But my friend almost shimmered himself into the dungeon too. That was a scare. The trap seed is fun. Bouncy Boulders are terrifying.
I would need a degree in Math and Physics to predict exactly where the boulder will bounce.
I thought you can't pump shimmer tho?
You can, you can't bucket it
I think you cant wire in jungle temple pre golem.
But you can put the shimmer on the roof of the temple and phase in through there
It would never be in the temple. The idea is to pump shimmer ontop of the temple so you can shimmer through the ceiling
you only need to put wire outside since that’s where you want the shimmer.
What does shimmer do?
transforms items but also phase the player through the ground
- Throwing in craftable items can "uncraft" them, giving you the items needed to craft it back. This takes away 80% of tinkerer's income since you can just uncraft an item and craft it again for different reforge
Some items will yield permanent upgrades instead.
- Jumping in will make you fall through blocks as long as you have some to fall through.
You also can't take damage (stops working when boss spawns, balance reasons) or do anything in this state
I understand that someone else gave a fast explanation but a longer one. It is used to phase through solid blocks downwards, decraft items, and transform items into different variants and upgrade them.
For the exact details on other questions I probably don't have the answer to and specific upgrades and such here is the wiki for shimmer
This is a fascinating solution. Has anyone tested this?? Does it actually work for the temple?
i’ve never tried it, but i’ve seen it done before.
hoik, or rod of discord
World gen said "fuck you"
Does anyone else see a silhouette of a figure with their head bent backwards, open mouth and hands reaching for a long object about to enter their mouth?
Am I going insane?
O My God I can see the same thing You've got a beautiful mind 🎶
😳
My guy is about to devour a sausage
Hoik through
Hoik me up, Scotty!
you can use hoik
Easy
Beat golem
To beat golem one must be able to reach the altar.
Nah
:(
You can also just use stairs, I run whatever current version is on ps5 and stairs still work
Hoik through door
Use hoik. There are plenty of tutorials on how to do it
HOIK TIME BABY
Hoik
Hoik or RoD
whats the seed?
They really should fix this
Have you tried morphball bombing the floor?
On PC you can download tedit and remove those blocks manually
Hoik
hoik setup works
Gotta use the hoiks man. Only way now.
Look up hoiks
I played around 10 years ago and this happened to a main world of mine and I could not complete the game I wish that I’d known about hoiks lol.
Make a new World and start a new playthroug until you beat the Golem on the new world and have gotten the picksaw
Oh boy here i go hoiking again
You could do a glitch involving platforms to phase through the wall go research it I can't remember how to pull it off
pre plantera? only hoik through the door, post plantera you'll be able to access it anyways
If you take planks and put them on the door then hammer them into triangle looking things it’ll let you walk through the door. Just make sure you have a mirror or something to teleport home unless you just want to quit then join the world again
Rod of Discord. The Lizhards temple has little protection against it. Hoiks will also work, provided you study the wiki correctly
Can't you hoik your way through the boss chamber?
Hoik or RoD
Make a hoik through the wall (you can also make a hoik into the golem room)
The easiest fix would be hoik or have a endgame character join and mine through for you
Not hard, just put platforms on the door
Shimmer
How do you move the shimmer if you haven't unlocked this yet?
If they’ve already beaten moon lord on a world with shimmer, they can throw their bottomless water bucket into it to make it a shimmer bucket. Not really cheating if you convert it back after this
If it still works (probably doesn’t) the highest power explosive broke the walls for me and my cousin.
Alternatively if you can expand your block placement with equipment and use smart cursor you can place a teleporter on blocks or platforms BELOW the temple’s middle finger to you. And then place another where you can walk then wire them. It looks like 2 blocks thick so you might not be able to build that far even with equipment but it’s worth a shot.
A HOIK might be easier since it still works but I’ve never done one.
Just Hoik or get the RoD
Hoik yes, but I think the Rod of Discord only works if you opened the temple with the key. But I haven't tested it though.
I’m sorry, idk Terraria maps that well, what is this?
Damn
Just beat plantera? And get the key to that temple?
Rod of discord
You can add three platforms on the door, hammer them once, and you can just walk though
Good ol reliable Hoiks
what thats somewhat impossable no way your getting thru that with ease
Rod of discord
A picksaw
Walk out the way you came in, magic mirror, picksaw, many ways
Actuators should work
I don't think actuators work until after golem has been beaten. Hoiks and Rod of Discord should do it though.
Does rod work before he’s beaten?
RoD is enabled in the temple after you beat Plantera.
You can teleport into the temple via RoD if plantera has been defeated.
Actuators?
if you've beaten plantera, then you can just use the key she drops. otherwise hoiking through the door with a few stairs is a common way to get in early. (also the picksaw from golem is the earliest pickaxe that can break temple brick iirc, so once you beat it you can make the entrance however you want)
the door is blocked
i'm blind ig lmao. you could still hoik through the wall or down to the door tho
Your world is fucked, cause it's impossible to get in with the door blocked without item worlds or hacked players.
Hoiks are quite easy to make and would save this world
How would it go through multiple blocks vertically downwards or through three blocks horizontally? It's not possible.
Killing plantera drops a key to get in.
The door is blocked off
I see that now
