History Awesome / Terraria

* A bug exists in the game when you hammer a slope, called a hoik. On it's own it's useful to enter the Temple early on or ignore blowing up Shadow orbs, but when used correctly it's possible to create things like [[http://forums.terraria.org/index.php?threads/hoiktronics-functional-in-game-terraria-computer.7897/ a functioning computer]] in Terraria.

** The Clothier in particular gets a special mention; he performs ''magic''. That's right, the NPC who doesn't sell anything REMOTELY important to game progression can perform magic to fight; and ''dark magic at that.''.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OupGO6FylhE This guy]] beat the Moon Lord on Expert... ''without using any healing potions in the fight''

* Destroying [[spoiler: the head Cultist, the Pillars, and the [[FinalBoss Moon Lord]]. DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu? Yes, you did]].

* The player HERO has just [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQlV_4Brfg4 slain the Wall of Flesh in about 23 minutes]], one of the fastest speed runs as of Febuary 2015. The cincher? He beat it with the humble MolotovCocktail.

* A small Moment of Awesome is had if you're a new player and you make it through to either far side of the world. Even better if you built minecart tracks along the way to get back here easier. You'll feel a little like the first people to build a railroad across America.

* Twitch streamer [[http://www.twitch.tv/flare2v/profile Flare2V]] knows how to ''properly'' punch out Cthulhu: he defeated the Moon Lord [[http://www.twitch.tv/flare2v/v/7558920 on Expert Hardcore Mode]], the ultimate DeathOrGloryAttack battle where failure meant [[FinalDeath the bitter end of his entire run]]. And then Flare did it again, only this time he [[http://www.twitch.tv/flare2v/v/7584223 bitchslapped Moon Lord to death]] with the Slap Hand weapon, and got the super yo-yo [[InfinityPlusOneSword The Terrarian]] on top of it all. A massive chunk of Twitch's Terraria community crowded into Flare's stream for the event, including Pedguin, one of the aforementioned Yrimir's few equals.

* The 3 mechanical bosses [[OhCrap can sometimes self-spawn at nightfall]] [[note]]There are limits to this, the main one being that only the bosses you haven't beaten yet will get to do this, and their spawning can be cancelled if you spawn in a boss yourself during the minute or so between being notified of a self-spawn, and the boss appearing.[[/note]]. You get some warning and prep-time, but it might not be enough to get all the stuff you need AND get to the area you'd prepared for the fight against that particular boss. However, if you DO manage to fight the boss when they self-spawn, ''and win'', you'll feel like even more of a badass.

* With the new 1.3 update the ''[=NPC=]s'' [[TookALevelInBadass now all have the ability to fight.]] This can lead to such awesome scenes as a siege arriving to get positively decimated by even a small town.

** He killed another two bosses on the same first night, Queen Bee and Eye of Cthulhu this time

** He [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHw06h2L-rc slew the Dungeon Guardian]] on Night Two.

** He killed the Wall of Flesh on the Second Night, that being the earliest you can kill it

*** Beat Ocram a few times. Get best armor. [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge Make Skeletron Prime pay for being such a tough boss to solo]].
