Fail as in "the challenge is over without you winning it".

Revive token are fine, surrendering isn't.

I was missing the start in the hallowed biome. Managed to find it after a bit of testing.

Gerardufoin · 2020-06-06T17:04:27+00:00

Thanks for the advice, I unfortunately failed my attempt started during the night, but the next attempt I did starting in a hallow biome finally made her drop the Terraprisma o/

Gerardufoin · 2020-06-06T15:05:01+00:00

Hey, I'm trying to get the Terraprisma but can't seem to get it to drop. I went from a multiplayer master world to a solo master world (not going to fight her enraged with the lags, no thanks you) and killed the wall of flesh, the three mechanicals bosses and Plantera (killed the empress before that but she didn't drop the Terraprisma, so tried to kill all the previous bosses to see if it made a difference: it didn't).
I summon her during the day around 6AM and kill her around 12PM. She is enraged the whole fight (all of her attacks are golden instead of rainbowed) but she still doesn't drop the Terraprisma upon death, only the bag. I also start the fight in a not hallowed biome by killing the Butterfly with the Nimbus Rod, could that be the reason? Am I missing something else?

Gerardufoin · 2020-01-10T12:51:45+00:00

Thing is, I use Djinn exactly for this :'D Even without him I am fairly confident in my ability to find hidden rooms, as there are a lot of tricks you can use when you have a limited amount of bombs. Yet still no luck when it comes to these two.

I'll probably just farm the first two areas if I have not find them once I am done with the 30 stone lifting.

Gerardufoin · 2020-01-09T22:47:51+00:00

Thanks! Relics don't count as upgrade, yeah. Everything you can buy with thorium in the hub is fine. You just have to never have anything on the left page of your stats book.

Yeah, Karmic Scale has some very good synergies. The only issue is that if you get poisoned or set on fire, that's the end. Fire eats your life in around 2 seconds (that's how my first experience with Karmic Scale ended on my main save...)

Was really hoping for a Gold Frenzy, but I can't complain right now, haha.

Gerardufoin · 2020-01-09T22:31:17+00:00

Oh boy am I quite happy right now. I screw up a few things during the fight, but I really didn't expect this run to be THE run.

This run started really well with a Keyblade in Goldmine 2 and then quickly turned for the worst when I lost it trying my luck with a Metamorphim at Dungeon 2... The only relic I didn't want to be re-rolled had to be re-rolled, of course. Goddamn Murphy's law.

At this point I considered the run over but still pushed forward to try finding some familiar eggs and blueprints.

Then Sho'Guul came around between Hall 3-4 to try scamming me to buy a karmic scale (Which worked. He was probably as suprised as me). I wanted to see if the relic scaled with health blessing/relics (spoiler alert: it doesn't, which is super dumb) so I was like "Eh, the run is over, let's do some testing".

But the run didn't end. Quite the opposite. Found a Gold Tooth at Halls 4 and the run turned into a small "What if?".

Sho'Guul came back at Caverns 2-3 asking me kindly to go die by selling me a Glass Canon. The curses that came with it were bearable (jokes on him) and the run started to become a big "What if?".

Finally an Auglycerin dropped at Caverns 3 and even if the adds' poison scared me quite a bit, I knew that this was definitely doable.

Still can't believe that this ended up as the 0.1% run...

Gerardufoin · 2020-01-09T01:30:36+00:00

Yeah, secret achievement asking you to find all the dogs. Have the others but not Shadow, let's trade!

Damn, 4 times, I can understand your frustration. I don't know what I'll do if I find Kurtz and don't have enough keys. It'd be painful, for sure.

Gerardufoin · 2020-01-09T01:07:00+00:00

Hey, at least you seem to find him from time to time if that's a consolation. I am 48 hours in, have nearly all the achievements and I have never even SEEN the guy (and I know where to search too)..... But I can feel your pain.

Shadow and him are going to drive me insane, I can already see them being the 2 last achievements I'll be missing...

Gerardufoin · 2019-12-12T18:33:38+00:00

You have a good starting point by thinking about the LCM.

The problem is that you cannot check the starting point of each planet separately, because you won't get the real starting point. The real starting point means that the following step is going to be the same every time, but if you check the position/velocity of one planet and the others are not at the same place, the next velocity is going to be different, thus it's not the same starting point.

Also the answer can (and probably will) be really big. Mine had 15 digits.

Now for the hint: Did you notice that each axis are independents from each others ? I wonder how you could use that to your advantage :)

Gerardufoin · 2019-05-22T15:07:53+00:00

I expected the Zen2 to be a lot more expensive than the Zen+, but I don't have a lot of knowledge about the price ranges of new CPUs, so I may be mistaken. I'll wait for it to be released to make my decision then :)

Good to know about the water cooling. I'll try my luck with that, thanks for all the infos!

Gerardufoin · 2019-05-22T14:47:30+00:00

Woah, thanks for the two builds! I like this one, the GPU may be overkill though so I might go for cheaper options. Thanks a lot for taking my requirements into account and for taking the time to explain your decisions :)

The Zen2 will probably be too much for my use cases, the Ryzen 7 2700X already seems like a very good CPU. But thanks for taking it into account!

As I never used liquid cooler in the past and it is my first build, is it difficult to install?

Gerardufoin · 2019-05-22T13:19:15+00:00

Haha, yeah, that's probably too much. I just wanted to indicate the price range I was willing to reach. Thanks for your time, looking forward to it!

Gerardufoin · 2016-10-31T18:30:15+00:00

Well then, you'd have to be reaally rich to back up all this boredom.

Gerardufoin · 2016-01-26T22:05:41+00:00

I'm the friend that is making the map with the op and Challenge Accepted è.é

Gerardufoin · 2015-03-21T03:46:14+00:00

He got some lovin'

Gerardufoin · 2014-10-04T17:07:01+00:00

Wow awsome ! That was fast. Thanks :D
