Guide:Skipping ahead
Skipping ahead, or sequence breaking, is the process of skipping major parts of game progression. This guide lists notable progression skips and is written assuming the player has completed the game several times.
Pre-Hardmode
- As the Old Man prevents the Cultists from spawning, Skeletron is required to be killed in order to spawn the Lunatic Cultist. However, Skeletron can be skipped and fought later.
- The only pre-Hardmode boss defeat required to progress into Hardmode is the Wall of Flesh itself. It is possible to kill this boss with only Dynamite.
Hardmode
Duke Fishron
- Truffle Worms can be obtained at the beginning of Hardmode, used to spawn Duke Fishron, which then can be used as a great source of weapons and equipment such as the Tsunami or Fishron Wings.
Jungle Temple
Other than glitched world generation, the Jungle Temple can be entered early through the following ways:
- Multiple hoik variations can be used to enter the Temple:
- Place 4 Minecart Tracks on both sides of the door and ride a Minecart into the door.
- (Old-gen console version) Teleporting into the Temple is possible using a Rod of Discord or Teleporters. However, the target location needs to be free of Lihzahrd Brick Walls, which can be achieved by using any Hardmode hammer or hamaxe.
- (Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) Entering the Temple from the top is possible via Shimmering. The Shimmer can be transported from The Aether to the Temple with a pump.
(Old-gen console version) Teleporters used to bypass the door.
(Old-gen console and 3DS versions) A meteorite having crashed in the Temple.
