[[File:ss3_8245.jpg|frame|Delicious exploration in an easy to digest 2D package!]]

 

* [[All Love Is Unrequited]]: The Goblin Tinkerer and the Mechanic are constantly asking about each other, the Nurse is after the Arms Dealer, and the Arms Dealer is... [[Really Gets Around|well]], but nothing seems to come from any of it.

* [[All Your Powers Combined]]: One of the best mid-game blades, the Night's Edge, is crafted by combining four swords at a Demon Altar.

* [[Ambidextrous Sprite]]

* [[An Axe to Grind]]: Considered a tool, but can be used to defend yourself in a pinch. Higher-level axes are actually viable weapons that just happen to retain their uses as tools.

** Later on you'll get to use [[Chainsaw Good|chainsaws]].

* [[Animal Mecha]]: One of the hardmode bosses, the Destroyer, is a giant mechanical worm.

* [[Arms Dealer]]: The [[Arms Dealer]] NPC, which sells you guns and ammo once you have found a gun.

* [[Artificial Gill]]: You can get an accessory that allows you to swim and two that make drowning less likely.

** The Snowball Cannon is a fairly powerful pre-hardmode weapon, and its ammunition is ridiculously easy to craft.

* [[Badass]]: The player character, who's basically a [[One Man Army]] (unless you're playing with friends, but even then, each and every one of you end up being powerful)

** Furthermore, the Frost Moon event includes a ridiculously powerful Santa mech as an enemy.

* [[Battle Boomerang]]: There are several boomerang items in the game. They deal decent damage, have excellent knockback, and can be thrown as fast as they return to you. And if you miss, you're better off switching to a melee weapon until it comes back.

** Buckets of lava can be used in this manner by dumping them on enemies below you, as can columns of sand held up by a destructible block, or blocks of sand dropped from above. Sand in the Alpha did even more damage to things hit by it. There's a reason Re-Logics tagline is: "Sand is overpowered".

* [[Infinity+1 Sword]]: The Blade of Grass was originally hinted at being this by the developers in their [[Let's Play]]. Since 1.1, it, along with Muramasa, the Fiery Greatsword, Night's Edge, and the Phaseblades are all [[Infinity-1 Sword|Infinity Minus One Swords]] (but still capable of dealing extreme damage), with the Adamantite Sword and Excalibur becoming the new Infinity Plus One Swords... At least for a while; ever since they've all been outclassed by the new top tier swords.

** The Flamarang before 1.1 was an Infinity Plus One Throwing Item. Hits almost as hard as the FAR slower-swinging Fiery Greatsword so it has huge DPS, particularly when close, and, [[Captain Obvious|unsurprisingly, has a far higher range,]] combined with being a ranged weapon which does not depend on ammunition. Now, the Light Disk is the preferred choice, since it has almost all the Flamarang had to offer, plus ricocheting and, if you have made more than one, the ability to ''spam up to five of them''.

** Of the spears in the game, [[Norse Mythology|Gungnir]] is one of the best, although even more powerful spears have been introduced since.

** You don't ''need'' to fight all the bosses. It's possible to go fight Skeletron on the very first night and win, though it is very challenging. Items found in the dungeon should be sufficient enough to prepare you against the Wall of Flesh boss fight. If you're confident in your abilities, you could skip the other areas for the time being and make a beeline for the dungeon, right at the start (although [[Beef Gate|you do NEED to fight Skeletron before entering]]).

** Don't feel like spelunking for ores in order to craft armor? Head for the jungle instead. If you can handle the onslaught, then even a meagre amount of jungle items (the majority of them are dropped by enemies) allows you to craft Jungle gear, including the Ivy Whip (an incredibly useful grappling hook), the [[BFS|Blade of Grass]], jungle armor (which has fairly respectable defense) and so on.

* [[Set Bonus]]: Each type of armor material has one of these. Some of them just boost your defense, but others speed up your attacks/movement, reduce mana usage, or emit light.

* [[Ship Tease]]: The [[Interspecies Romance|goblin tinker and the mechanic]] are always asking about each other.

** Doesn't help that the 1.1 trailer showed "Celestia the Dryad"

** The Wyvern enemy bears a striking resemblance to another dragon by the name of [[Spirited Away|Haku]], as well as [[The Neverending Story (film)|Falkor]].

** The four weapons used to create the Night's Edge (Muramasa, Light's Bane, Fiery Greatsword, and Blade of Grass) are blue, purple, red, and green respectively. [[The Legend of Zelda Four Swords|Just like the tunics of a certain split-up hero.]]

** One of the possible names for the gun merchant is Dante. [[Devil May Cry|Now, someone named Dante who handles guns, where did I hear that before?]]

* [[Spam Attack]]: Some magic weapons can be used this way, if you have enough mana.

* [[Swiss Army Weapon]]: The Hamdrax is some kind of strange artifact that can be used as a drill, chainsaw and hammer. It also works reasonably well as a weapon.

* [[Teleport Spam]]: What the magic based enemies do right now. The Imps and magic skeletons aren't too bad about it, but the Goblin Mages take it [[Up to Eleven]].And can even appear in front of constructed walls, which otherwise prevent monsters from spawning.And their attacks pass through walls as well.That's right, even housing your allies in the thickest garrison or the most secure base can still get them killed from a randomly-teleporting goblin.

** Chaos Elementals do this FAR worse than the Goblins - they run at you and teleport all over the place to confuse you. The other enemies in The Hallow can do this to a lesser extent too.
