Here is a question...

Does Plantera spawners respawn?

Nevermind, looked it up.

I need to seriously grind Plantera since I got unlucky and its primary spawn occurred every single time.

Here is a question...

Does Plantera spawners respawn?

They do. Just build a long mud road underground, planted with jungle seeds, if you want to farm it.

[Tiruin]

Actuators. And I believe that was made impossible, at least until you open the place up. Can the temple walls not be mined at all, even after it is open?

Only with the picksaw. Nothing else has enough pickaxe power to dig 'em.

> Golem drops the picksaw.

T_T This is the best scenario ever when you can't even hit the head-

Wait, if it's stuck in the blocks, doesn't that mean it's technically immobile and can't do anything to you? In regards to movement, at least. You could use a lot of explosive ammo, or any weapon that reaches through rock (Vilethorn? Spears?) to just hammer away at it until it's dead.

It can't shoot out the fireballs given that the fireballs disappear when they get out and just light up where his head is.
Can't get a screenshot due to lack of power cells on this infuriating glitch.

Spoiler: Screenshot (click to show/hide)

The cursor is where the head would spawn. Yes, right below that offscreen is the altar. Right on top of the huge room.

Would the range of any weapon which penetrates blocks reach that far?

[frostshotgg]

The mushroom spear should do it.

[Girlinhat]

Mushroom spear and vilethorn should work.  That's pretty shallow, any decently piercing weapon would work.

Also, you might consider using TEdit - in this case, your world has a bug, so moving the altar down would be considered bugfixing, not really cheating.  Your rationalization my vary.

[Sean Mirrsen]

Explosive ammo should reach it if it's exactly over the cursor and you can get at it from above. Vilethorn has decent range, I think.

After some researching, it seems there are two more weapons you can use. The Nettle Burst, which is a rare drop from Plantera, is a longer-ranged version of Vilethorn, and if you have access to Chlorophyte you can make a Chlorophyte Partisan, which emits a puff of damaging particles at the apex of the thrust, which can damage the enemy if it ends up in the right spot.

I take it this works on a Steam-connected Terraria? As in, targeting the folder where the steamapp is?

Thanks so much all of you.

Edit: Checked the distance--it's under the cursor, actually. Right under it. Nearly forgot that the head only made itself known by the glowy eyes and the fireball which lit up where it was, as it was fully in the dark.

[Girlinhat]

TEdit's default is the steamapps folder, you just select "open" and choose the world file, mess with the map, and save it.

[Flying Dice]

The chlorophyte spear would work wonderfully. It's already mainly used for cheesing the Golem through walls, as it fires out clouds of penetrating gas.

[Neonivek]

Honestly though I consider the Golem to be easier than Plantera. Since it is relatively easy to just jump circles around him. Fight the Golem outside the temple as well and he becomes the easiest hardmode boss.

Then again I never created an arena for Plantera.

I kind of have the same opinion as well, Plantera seems/seemed far more threatening than the Golem.  Although, supposedly, Plantera can be practically neutralized if you lead her up to the surface, since she can't climb around any more then.  Really, it's mostly her excellent maneuverability and area-denial that's the tricky part.  The Golem is much, much easier to dodge away from.


And yeah, Tir, try using either the mushroom spear or Nettle Burst.  Nettle not only has more range than Vilethorn, it also does considerably more damage.

[Girlinhat]

Nettle also lingers for longer, it seems, so it'll just sit there damaging.

My wizard just keeps on falling down the hellivator. No other NPC does this. I think he misses being tied up in the depths. That or the snow biome I'm in is too cold.

Odd, that's what the guide in my friend's world keeps doing. He died once when we were about to summon WoF.. luckily another guide spawned quite soon.

I'm still pre-hardmode, and I've been scouring my world and have had terrible luck in finding Hermes Boots. I have found literally dozens of golden chests, even actively searching for them, found numerous amounts of the other items you can find, and still no Hermes boots.

I think you'd have better luck in ice biomes. In the underground there you can find ice chests and their loot table is a lot smaller, giving you a decent shot at the Flurry Boots, which are 100% equivalent to the Hermes Boots.
