I purified my ENTIRE WORLD before the Dryad moved in

I purified my ENTIRE WORLD before the Dryad moved in

two years ago I made a video titled how I got every achievement in Terraria unfortunately a new update came out just 3 months later that introduce several more achievements and the comments underneath that video have been sure to remind me of that ever since most of the new achievements are fairly easy to obtain so I got them pretty quickly through normal gameplay but there was one exception to unlock this achievement the player must talk to the dryads in a world devoid of crimson corruption and hallow after 2 years of putting this achievement off I think it’s about time I restore my 100% ribbon but I want to take things a step further I want to purify the entire world before the dryad even arrives that way she’ll never get the chance to tell me I should try harder as we boot into the world our first order of business is to quarantine the Crimson biome which is actually very easy to do well at least in pre-art mode for now the world evil can only spread to adjacent grass blocks so we only have to worry about the surface you can use any Incorruptible block to contain the biome but I went with sunflowers for those unaware they prevent the grass they’ve been planted on from being affective so by placing a sunflower on either side of our two Crimson biomes we have successfully contained the world evil until hard mode but how should we go about actually cleansing the world well in Pre mode our options are very limited with no dyed we can’t use purification powder so our only other option is to manually destroy every single Crimson Block in her world certainly possible just not very practical so instead the plan is to progress to Hard Mode get the steampunker to move in and buy the contaminator of course the this all to be done without spawning in the Triad initially I thought this would be quite tricky but it turns out we just have to avoid killing any of these three bosses but before we even think about progressing to Har mode we have some work to do the Crimson spread is an entirely different beast in har mode it will begin spreading to many more types of blocks most notably Stone allowing it to spread through the underground it also will be able to spread three tiles away we’re going to need a lot more than a few sunflowers to keep this at Bay to prevent the spread we need to dig a three tile Gap around the entire biome unfortunately the best tool I had to do this with was a gold pickaxe so it took nearly 40 minutes to dig around the one biome this challenge is going to require a lot of mining so I decided it would be a good idea to find some ways to improve our mining speed sooner rather than later while the total mining speed bonuses from Buffs and items equates to 135% according to the wiki the game will cap the stat boost off at 70% for the player so it doesn’t actually take much to maximize your efficiency the first item I searched for was the ancient chisel an accessory that boost mining speed by 25% if we could find this accessory we’d be over 1/3 of the way there if we could find it I spent a good hour or two searching my desert with splunkers opening every chest I could find but to no avail because I decided to do this Challenge on a small world so there would be less to purify there weren’t as many chests to loot so not a single chisel had been generated we could get it to drop from a desert crate but I felt it would be quicker to try and find other ways to reach the the cap so I switched gears and began grinding out the mining set which can be obtained from skeleton miners found in the cavern lir they’re a pretty rare spawn though so I decided to make a quick farm for them oh and just as a side note the Aether biome can be a great spot for Little Farms like this because of how it generates the biome completely fills the area around it with stone preventing enemies from getting stuck in little caves off screen and slowing down your farm it also has plenty of flat open space for enemy spawns I left my game on for a few hours last night and I was able to get the entire mining set and a bone pick which is actually one of the best pickaxes in Pre hard mode it’s tied with a silver pickaxe for the fastest mining speed before hard mode and is equal to the gold pickaxe power but just wait until we start stacking some more Buffs this thing will become absolutely ridiculous at this point it’s been a good couple hours since destroying an orb so I decided to just spawn the Goblin Army in manually once again I set up an AFK Farm by the ocean and left my game on for half an hour to grind some cloth unfortunately I just made a huge mistake we have over 200 life now and unlike the last AFK farm this one’s on the surface which means we meet the natural spawn requirements for the I cthulu and if you recall this is one of the bosses that we have to avoid killing to prevent the dry from spawning this might not sound like that big of a deal because we’re AFK and lava can’t damage it however I stilled the honeycomb equipped an accessory that releases bees when we take damage we also had enough defense to completely tank the boss I had somehow created the perfect set of circumstances to end our run thankfully I came back to see what was going on before it was too late but if I come back just a few minutes later or if the ey had spawned the night prior instead we’d be back to square one so while we jeopardized a run in the process we had ourselves enough tighter cloth I then made quick work out of goblins and found the tinkerer light is the best modifier with a 15% boost to mining speed but seeing as I was short on gold I settled for agile which gives us a 10% boost fortunately the game does not count this bonus towards the 70% total in the calculation giving us even more room for bonuses I then threw a fruit into the Shimmer for the Ambrosia a permanent 5% buff to our mining speed finally to reach the cap we’ll use consumable Buffs I stocked up on mining potions they give a 30% boost and wellfed Buffs that can give a 5 10 or 15% boost based on the food tier we’ll just be needing the lowest tier food to reach the cap with that we’ve maximized our mining speed so yeah as you can see much much faster I think that was definitely worth our time that’s actually crazy on the left is our set up for the first Crimson biome and on on the right is after all the Buffs it’s night and day and with that we’re done that took 6 minutes I think before it took 40ish if not more that we didn’t have to do this side but this would only take like another minute however we’re not quite done yet there’s a common misconception that walls can spread the world evil this is likely because you can see Crimson spread and infect natural walls however the walls themselves cannot spread Crimson to blocks you can think of it as purely a visual change so we can just leave them be however the less talked about thorny bushes and Vines actually can infect blocks in hard mode well it’s fairly unlikely to happen the thorny bushes that you can see on the surface can grow right beside your three block Gap then reach across to spread the evil to the other side additionally if you have any grass underneath your quarantine Zone Vines will eventually grow and invalidate all of your efforts so it’s imperative that you add some non-c corruptible blocks like wood to each side of your biome on the surface and make sure grass cannot spread to the underside of your biome if if you want to be extra safe you can line the bottom with any block except mud or dirt now that we’ve completely sealed off our Crimson biomes we can progress to Hard Mode I chose the normal difficulty for this world because I was just concerned with getting the achievement as fast as possible as a result defeating the wall was a piece of cake with a few sticks of dynamite entering our mode is great because we get access to the contaminator after defeating a Mech boss however there are two very big downsides that I haven’t mentioned yet first off the creson begins to spread at a much faster rate additionally the world generat what is commonly referred to as the hard mode V one diagonal strip of crimson and one of hollow that run from top to bottom of the world connecting in Howell to form a vshape this unfortunately creates a lot more work for us but because of just how effective the contaminator is progressing to Hard Mode is easily worth it in my eyes despite these negatives but like I said before the world evil is spreading much faster now so we have to act fast just like we did in Pre hour mode our first step is to Zone off the new infections thanks to the mining Loadout we set up earlier the introduction of the har moded enemies was inconsequential in this step now that we’ve clearly defined where we will need to purify it was time to focus on getting the steam bunker to get this NPC we must defeat any of the three Mech bosses interestingly enough if I had made this exact same video before 1.4.4 this step would have been a lot more annoying this is because every time you destroyed a demon alter in previous iterations of Terraria an evil block would randomly spawn in the world somewhere as you can imagine this would make this challenge a little bit more difficult so naturally we would have to avoid smashing Alters but if we did that the only way to spawn a Mech boss would be to farm for the 1 and 2,500 summon but because we’re in 1.4.4 we can safely destroy an alter and craft the summon for whichever Mech we’d like to fight if cheese is on the table the easiest Mech to defeat is undoubtedly the Destroyer I’m sure most of you have seen the dynamite speed Kill by now but for those of you that haven’t by roping above the ocean placing a chest just barely out of view and tossing down some Dynam M you can kill the boss in a matter of seconds with no other suitable block to spawn on the Destroyer is forced to spawn right below you giving you easy access to every one of its segments with that the steampunker is free to move in however we’re not quite ready to start purifying our world we still have to actually buy the contaminator which as I’m sure you’re all aware isn’t exactly cheap so I made the easiest and most efficient money grind I could think of the surface mimic Farm I wouldn’t be surprised if some of you weren’t even aware that mimic could spawn on the surface because they can be quite rare since the spawn requirements generally don’t occur naturally for a mimic to spawn above ground there has to be natural dirt walls present in har mode you don’t need nearly this much showing but my terrain wasn’t very flat so I had to dig a little extra then you simply rope up until you can no longer see the surface blocks and wait I highly recommend wiring up a dart trap to AG them once they spawn in it will also double as a good AUD Q to indicate when there’s a mimic ready to be slain of course to maximize the efficiency of your farm definitely bring some water candles and battle potions mimics drop a lot of gold one kills and when you take into account the gold eer from selling the drops the farm is very lucrative so after one battle potion we earned enough gold for the contaminator and, 1500 solution the contaminator has a purification range of 60 blocks by spraying the solution to the left and right of the player will have covered a horizontal distance of 120 blocks therefore if we dig a tunnel down to Hill every 120 tiles from one side of the Harbo to the other we should be able to purify the whole thing I wasn’t lying when I said that is going to be a lot of digging okay if I don’t bring this up now I’m sure I’ll get a ton of comments about it so yes I do know about the terraformer yes it has much better range so we wouldn’t have to dig as many tunnels but it’s also post Moon Lord and I’m No speedrunner so at least for me it’s way faster to use the less efficient contaminator because it’s available much early in progression to help with the digging and purification process I defeated Skeletron and loed cobal shield from the dungeon getting knocked up on the way down would burn tons of time and could lead us to missing a spot in the purification process I’m only going to have one shot at this if the Dr arrives and we don’t get that achievement we have to start all over but wait didn’t I just meet the spawn requirements for the dry to early well yes but that’s completely fine because we have our contaminator now so I don’t actually need these NPCs anymore we can now just prevent her from spawning by taking out the Torches from each house until we’re ready so after about 30 minutes of digging we were finally done the first half of the M shafts I can only imagine how much longer this would have taken without any of those mining Buffs with half the tunnels complete I used a featherfall potion and started contaminating and while it was certainly tedious it was incredibly satisfying seeing the world evil gradually melt away on the mini map though after a while I noticed our solution was draining much faster than I was expecting when I initially bought everything from the steam bunker I figured we had plenty but my estimates were very wrong as we ran out of Green Solution just before purifying only half of the V so after grinding some gold and buying more solution I made sure to pass over the last couple tunnels again just in in case anything spread during that process again we really want to be thorough here and with that we purified the hollow biome in the first half of the V from there it was simply a matter of repeating this process for the other side and then finally contaminating the original Crimson biomes we started with it took about 8 hours to get to the digging and purifying stage and another three to finish it all off but provided I didn’t make any mistakes we should be left with a completely purified world so we’re free to add the Torches back to our houses and spawn the tri it but only if I haven’t made any mistak SS and I wasn’t all that confident so I did one last pass to the surface to see if there was anything I missed and thank God I did oh my God I am so glad I noticed this okay I died but I don’t care cuz this rarely ever happens I don’t even know if I’ve seen this before CU I don’t usually L islands that much I’ve heard that this could happen but I’ve never experienced this for myself until now in the previous illustrations I’ve shown of the har mode V the strip started at the surface but it would be more accurate to show it starting from space however I didn’t bother because generally you wouldn’t notice this unless you just so happen to have a Skyland intersective part of the V like mine did here because if I rare this occurrences I completely forgot to check the islands if it weren’t for the wyvern that spawned I thought I would have found this until it was too late a nice change of pace from the typical wyvern spawns that ruin my day so after purifying the island and double cheing that none of the other ones have been impacted I slept through one full day and waited for the drive to arrive it’s very important that we sleep for a full day here because it takes one in-game day for the Dy to update the status of the world had we not done this we could have had to start over despite having a completely pure World okay here’s the dryad now now we hope everything’s in order and we didn’t miss a spot I was pretty thorough as you can see but we’ll see what happens here we go status Purity is completely pure did an amazing job is there any more is that it that’s it it’s just always that I was hoping there’d be like unique dialogue if you can get it first I was pretty sure there wouldn’t be let’s be real but that’s pretty cool to have the D spawn in and then she’s never told you off about being lazy cuz we we had it done we did our we did our homework and there we have it I can finally say once again that I have every achievement in Terraria for now unfortunately there’s a new update on the horizon which will more than likely add more achievements but hopefully I’ll be spared from those YouTube comments for at least a few months thanks for watching I’ll see you all next time

Today we’re purifying the entire world before the Dryad gets a chance to move in! In doing so I’ll finally restore my 100% steam achievement ribbon. Hope you enjoy!
