5 ⚠ Gotcha Tips — Don't Waste Your Time

These mistakes will waste hours. Read this before you start.

⚠ Lava Charm is EXTREMELY rare

Lava Charm has only ~2.5% chance in Underground Gold Chests. This is the hardest material. Search many chests, use Spelunker Potions, or fish for Obsidian/Hellstone Crates as alternative.

⚠ You need 2 Obsidian Skulls total

One Obsidian Skull goes into Molten Charm. The OTHER goes into Obsidian Water Walking Boots. Don't combine your only Lava Charm with your only Obsidian Skull until you have both paths ready.

⚠ Goblin Tinkerer must be rescued first

You can't buy Rocket Boots until the Goblin Tinkerer moves in. He spawns randomly Underground after defeating the Goblin Army.

⚠ Water Walking Boots are ocean-only

Water Walking Boots ONLY spawn in chests at the bottom of the Ocean or from Ocean Crates. You'll need to fully explore both oceans or fish extensively.

6 🎁 Free Benefits — Loot You Pick Up Along the Way

While collecting materials, you'll pass through biomes full of valuable drops. Don't leave empty-handed.

🎁 Underground chest hunting

While searching for Hermes Boots, Aglet, and Lava Charm: You'll find tons of accessories (Cloud in a Bottle, Flipper, Band of Regeneration), ores, and life crystals.

🎁 Ocean exploration

While getting Water Walking Boots: Explore the Ocean floor for Starfish, Seashells, Coral, and the Angler (starts fishing quests for Cell Phone materials!).

🎁 Jungle for Anklet of the Wind

While searching Jungle chests: Get Bezoar (Ankh Shield!), Boomstick (early gun), Feral Claws (melee speed), and Rich Mahogany.

🎁 Underworld for Obsidian

While mining Hellstone: Get Fireblossom, find Hellforge, explore Shadow Chests, and collect Ash Wood. Plus Demons drop Demon Scythe (great magic weapon).
