Terraria’s WEIRD Hooks Have UNTAPPED Potential

Meowwwmeowmeowmoemwowmeow Hi yardis!!!!

As I was saying on the discord previously, I personally don't think the first 3 of these hooks can be called Good, as there extremely niche, and don't have any common uses, even more so in vanilla.

My biggest annoyance with them and especially the hook of dissonance, is when they are promoted as THE option for general use, when in fact almost 100% of the time instead of trying to line up and teleport through an attack, it's just easier to use a normal hook and move away from the attack.

Then there are the cases like Inf polter dsp, or enraged duke in vanilla, where these hooks do have uses, but still both those cases are not common.

The fact that 99.9% of players will never get any use out of them is a fact, as most players don't play modded, and so on, but even within the modded community a fraction sees any use in then for Defiled Gameplay, which is even rarer.

But thankfully this video makes it clear that those 3 hooks only really have niche uses.

Then for the few comments of my own after the subject analysis, I personally found out about the hook launching tech from @SarrowSteel on YouTube, from there True melee content, where it's 1 of the few ways to actually true melee Ares.

And on a note on the bat hook specifically, it's really not worth going for in vanilla, as the mobility needed in vanilla isn't nearly demanding enough to be worth the farm for the very rare drop from a semi rare enemy dropped Grab Bag, as just using a Biome mimic hook is far more then good enough (I personally prefer Duel Hook) till you beat Cultist.

And then in modded, more specifically Calamity, similarly farming a very rare drop from a semi rare enemy, in an event, is at least better odds I'd say, but still not really worth it, as the next few bosses don't benefit much from a better hook, as in Plantera, Aureus and Golem, Leviathan does, but still, there is in my opinion a better farming option to go for, in the Thorn Hook, which is the next best right after the Bat Hook, but is a rare drop from Plantera, and so is far faster to farm for if you ask me, even more so if you are using a QoL mod to buy Boss Bags, and it's far more then good enough to last you till Cultist.

Thanks for reading.

I take full responsibility for any use of the static and anti gravity hook

They called gungnir crazy when he beat fishron only with the anti-gravity hook, but he knew all along

where's the squirrel hook? tree arenas are funny

nohitters finally found out about featherfall potions

I accidently learned in infernum that if you're going too fast upwards and use the slime queen mount, you fly so fast to the sky, and that helped me a lot(altrough i wasn't able to pull off with a hook duo to skill issue)

I also forgot to add the fact that there is an easy hookless version of the "Super Jump" as you call it, and i just missed it in my 1st comment, so here it is, if you are using the Jetpack, Empress Wings or the Celestial Starboard, and hold up while flying up with a feather falling potion, you can just practically spam a Fast fall mount to get the same effect without having to have a hook point near you, or having to fall under a platfrom to hook up, so you can do it mid flight too, given you have enough Flight time left for it, as the thing that is apart of all the high vertical speed wings is there generally worse Flight time, when compared to others at the same tier.

ez
