5 ⚠ Gotcha Tips — Don't Waste Your Time

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

⚠ Goblin Tinkerer must be rescued

After defeating the Goblin Army, the Goblin Tinkerer spawns randomly Underground. Explore caves until you find him bound up.

⚠ Aglet is easy to miss early

Aglet only spawns in Surface-level chests. Don't skip chests on the surface! If you can't find one, fish for Wooden Crates.

⚠ Ice biome might be far from spawn

Ice biomes generate at the edges of the world. You may need to walk far left or right. Bring platforms and a Bed for a checkpoint.

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 exploration

While searching for Hermes Boots: Find Cloud in a Bottle (double jump), Band of Regeneration, life crystals, and ores.

🎁 Jungle for Anklet

While searching Jungle chests: Get Bezoar (Ankh Shield!), Boomstick, Feral Claws, and explore for bee hives (Queen Bee boss).

🎁 Ice biome exploration

While getting Ice Skates: Find Boreal Wood, Shiverthorn (potions), and frozen chests with rare loot. Plus it's the only place to get Penguins (pets!).
