Reacting to a Minecraft Pro playing Terraria

So the YouTube algorithm recently recommended me a video of Captain Sparkles playing Terraria now if you don’t know Captain Sparkles is a small Minecraft Youtuber you might have heard of it but about two weeks ago he decided to start a brand new Terraria playthrough and of course you guys know

As a fellow Terraria player we always love seeing new people get into the game so I decided to take a look wow I saw some interesting stuff not bad stuff of course it’s just interesting you know seeing like wow I never thought about that but I understand why a new player

Would think like that yeah I’m gonna be watching all the current episodes he posted on his channel I believe there’s about 10 for the last episode currently being with chippy and of course make sure to check out his playthrough on his second Channel or on his twitch while

This all happens of course I’m gonna be eating cheese curls hello everybody and welcome to Terraria Terraria do I say Terraria I do say Terraria right do you know the last time that I played Terraria was about probably over 11 years ago 11 years ago that is older than me I’ve never played

It single player though also don’t bully him I know our community is great just don’t bully him we’re just watching how Minecraft replaced Terraria medium core characters drop items on death okay wait will the Minecraft player pick medium core because she thinks it’s like Minecraft I will do classic classic

Sounds like a good way oh no he’s playing on large you know how much of a pain in the ass it is to explore a world on large yeah there’s more loot I think I exclusively for my playthroughs I play on small I do not play medium unless

It’s like a really large mod like Calamity or like thorium I’m gonna make a wooden chest plate and then I gotta figure out where I equip is it over here everyone does that I wonder if chat will tell him step row like wrong wrong thing oh okay ah there we go check that

Correct yeah I like that you can make some wood armor here it’s kind of awesome right you stupid little slime rabbit well I had too many cheese rolls all right we got Doritos all right we we do the re-racking trees out here we do the re-racking he’s not using smart

Cursor so some of the trees are too close like right here I forgot what it is right it’s like if trees are not within I believe three four tiles they can’t be planted I literally always use Smart cursor for this unless they changed it in which case I might sound

Stupid anyway I have some stuff here probably let’s go let’s go up to here click on our is it click on our table or do we just when we’re next to it oh that’s crazy I remember when I first played Terraria it took me so long to understand how the crafting system works

I never understood that you have to make the station and then you sit right next to it not and you don’t right click it you don’t anything like I remember making an anvil for the first time and I was like wow I can make so many things

And then all this appeared and I’m like damn what the [ __ ] then again I was like 12. wooden sword that’s a good thing right we want that let’s go let’s go we’re popping off oh oh oh oh oh my you think you can I have not played regular

Terraria normal mode not expert not master in so long it is so trippy seeing someone kill slimes with a wooden sword that quickly this is gonna be epicosity wait so he said he played 11 years ago makes sense because I think walls are one of the weirdest things to kind of

Understand when you’re first playing Terraria like the idea that you’re playing a 2d game but you can put walls behind you and walls count as a background tile but it’s not really the background because there’s an actual background to the game which is like the wallpaper

I’m confusing myself I want to undo no no he doesn’t have a hammer moles is it wood like that that one oh literally just like use the wood and place it down oh I see literally just use the woods wait did he think it was wooden planks I

Think he thought it was wooden playing I never thought about that Minecraft you chop trees and make wooden planks I think Captain sparkle stopped the wood walls were wooden planks and that’s why he was placed this is truly fascinating but I don’t blame him I don’t blame him

I would have done the same thing too bro this house is better than mine when I first played I had a dirt Hut is there a bed that I can make no wait no sleep there’s no oh we can do jump crits what the frick okay they can’t break my door okay

Harley yeah take refuge in here bro take refuge in here no Harley you let him in you let him you let Harley you idiot every struggle man it’s going through it I hate it when NBCS do it I’m making the pumpkin no he lost a wood armor bonus I get it there’s

Set bonuses and stuff like that oh no dude it’s gonna be night time and I’m gonna be far from home am I gonna get rectified here yes I’m Gonna Get Wrecked got it I’m gonna run back home now that’s crazy I I think literally the

Only time I go home is when I have a recall potion magic mirror or I die unless you’re playing like hardcore or medium core there is no reason why you should go home there’s no reason why you should stay safe unless you’re trying to like unless you have a lot of money on

You unless you’re playing anything other than classic and softcore there’s no reason to go home because exploration is just such a big reward in this case is there like a chest or something that I can make in order to store some items oh no he’s gonna find out that to make a

Chest you need iron unlike Minecraft where it’s just eight wood but then to get iron you have to dig down how is he gonna dig down you know I wonder if he’ll do it oh you could also mind a staircase whoa what are you doing what was he doing smart yeah

Your cursor I’m not like on you have to hit like you have to hit the analog stick I don’t remember but painful to watch but I’m I’m um I’m learning hey yeah you know don’t clown him but why are they clowning him oh wood platform yes platforms okay every

Six blocks and then I can just I see so mostly straight down but then like move over a little bit on the way no no no no no no no no very very steep staircase very steep you know who told him that no it’s so much more faster to just mine

Straight down and just Place platforms either on the way up or on the way down if you do want to convert into a elevator you just mind the platforms or you just place like actually the water doesn’t work but you just mind the platforms there’s no reason why you

Should go down go over a little bit go down go over a little bit just to place platforms no who told him that no oh my God how long did you do this for oh he’s making a staircase got big one Concept in Terraria that I just never listened

To is going backwards like once you venture out to the right I just try and go as far as possible until I find a recall potion or die if I go straight down to mine to hell I keep going until I die no recall which is kind of a bad

Thing but it’s more time efficient nothing wrong with having like a way to like return like a staircase or like just going back before dark but You Hinder so much of your progress because I feel like you assume that there’s danger but there’s not really any danger unless you’re playing hardcore medium

Core just dig straight down and use platforms to get back up yes okay okay yes yes yes no no no no what are you doing why’d you move over I’m surprised he’s not getting this tin ore I would assume that if you were a new player you would get 10 words but

You shouldn’t because it’s useless oh is that an iron vein oh no all right I spoke too soon Andy got bombs some people were telling me that bombs are something that I should be getting yes Pro bomb down the monster no don’t throw all of them no

Someone tells me not to throw all of them no you need one for the demolitionist now it’s gonna blow up the health pot oh the health pot’s fine yeah wow I thought about that bombs don’t blow up items whereas TNT and Minecraft do that’s crazy I’m glad that people in chat are

Mainly helping it that’s crazy what is this stuff here that’s iron yes you guys are saying don’t go in there I will drown although it would be a way to get back up to the surface you know if I needed to do that smart something that definitely throws people off I think I

Would assume is you can’t swim in Terraria unless you had flippers but it’s weird because in Minecraft you can just swim up like you you can build an elevator and swim up with one water block but Terraria you can’t do that what is this that looks fancier tungsten

I love tungsten I don’t know what about it but when it first came out I loved it it’s so much cooler than silver debate me that seems epic now can I use the furnace yes oh he already figured it out that’s awesome dude it took me forever

To figure out as a kid oh my God 60 bars to make a full so I need I need 300 I need 300 dude to make a full set of armor you need 60 bars which is roughly 300 ore that’s actually crazy when you think about it in terms of Minecraft because in

Minecraft to make a full set of iron armor you need 25 iron ingots AKA 25 iron ore or raw Iron by the way the fact that you need to get how many is it for gold armor golden platinum armor unless you’re playing for the worthy or any of

The like special C’s where they increase or generation it is not worth it unless you’re playing a super hard difficulty on Master mode with some crazy mods there is no point in getting gold or platinum armor because it takes so much time yeah they give you so much defense

But dude especially without ore excavator oh my goodness seriously I need to go deep in the mines I feel like I’m pretty deep but I get oh he is not deep you can tell by the background that he is in is it the underground layer and

Then he’s not even he hasn’t even hit the cavern layer and then the cavern layer is like three times the size of the underground layer next episode I have now learned well actually I learned it when I took the thumbnail screenshot but I’ve learned that when you go back

Into your world you end up um back above ground at Your Spawn I completely forgot about that yeah you can venture out and then just leave the game and join back I completely forgot about that you don’t actually have to kill yourself sorry so

If we ever need to get out of the cave I guess we can yeah see he he understands like that there’s not a lot of like fear and exploration because you could just literally reset your where you are you can leave the game recall magic mirror

Die okay well yeah why do I have a oh I need to make a minecart and ride on the track no you don’t you can ride it and I don’t know why you can ride it without a minecart it makes no sense but I’m glad they added it because I believe you can

Craft the iron Minecart but why would you craft an iron why would you craft any Minecart if you could just ride the Minecart without a minecart does that make any sense um I could in theory do a new world a new expert world or something it leaves

Room to expand in the event that that people like watching Terraria so yes that is so true because your inventory isn’t tied to one world and it’s rather tied to characters you can make infinite worlds and basically have infinite and with that being said you can technically

Go straight into expert mode with a pre-generated and pre-equipped classic Mode character which is definitely something I don’t think about anymore but it was definitely something that I really loved about the game when it first came out like wow you can bring your character of all this loot to your

Friend’s world who might not even be as strong as you and you could help them out it is so cool that you can do that put down the freaking thing why no doors go down where’s my smart cursor my torches won’t place they won’t place because of the

Stupid Minecart thing I literally never plays torches with the default cursor I always place it with smart cursor it is so much better it’s usually automatically spaced out too I want to see what happens when I go the other way I like how I just accelerated uphill I

Don’t know I never thought about that what’s the other what’s in the other direction here bro whoa hard Crystal oh what is that what is that what is that whoa dude I just got an extra heart I love the taste of rocks in the evening this rocks dude

I need to make more dad jokes I am epic he’s actually getting all this that is crazy I do not have the patience to do that anymore most of the time when I fight I Cthulhu or King Slime I have no armor or I just have Cactus armor also

If you beat king slime you get access to ninja armor which is a good armor substitute and also if you beat eye Cthulhu which is a relatively simple battle if you know just go left in fourth and you have Hermes boots you get to shoot the Cthulhu which gives you

Some defense and also a dash did I wonder how fast I could be like a classic Mode run because now that I think about it like you can do a lot of crazy things in classic without dying immediately oh my God look at this look at this gear okay please watch the play

Here if chat doesn’t say Platinum pickaxe I will I will oh my gosh I think he should make a platinum pickaxe with the 20 Platinum a little bit of tungsten armor with the rest unless you want to make a Tungsten bow tungsten bow is pretty good and then with the rest of

The iron you can make supplementary iron armor I would I would rather just hold on to it because you don’t really need that much so Platinum pickaxe okay yes we out here Should I do you think Platt bow yes flat bow all right oh my God this is gonna be insane dude is there really a reason to use a Tungsten broadsword or even a platinum broadsword if you have a platinum bow because I would assume they would have similar damage capacity I think the

Platinum though is 14 damage maybe the speed is a little lower I don’t think there’s a reason to really use a platinum broadsword I mean again the melee got reworked I don’t think there’s any reason to use any of the like regular ore swords when you could just

Make the bow which number one you could buy and craft a lot of arrows and number two it’s range and number three to damage capacity is pretty similar unless you’re constantly in close quarters which you shouldn’t really be unless you’re crazy and you have a lot of

Defense now we’re freaking in he crafted an iron ax I actually never craft an ax upgrade like unless I really really want to chop down wood which I typically don’t do because I use bombs to get wood the next ax I get is like the pickaxe ax

I’m not gonna lie all right episode three hi everybody how many episodes does he have right now I think I said 11 right I don’t think I can get through all of them today that’s like yeah here’s 11 and 11 is when they’re chippy joins oh I want to watch that episode

Let me throw out my trash bro picture is amazing I didn’t mean to do that one oh he got a hammer get rid of this I told him to get a hammer good job okay so crimson pyramid he looks like a screenshot isn’t he we

Got a got a bit of an f11 moment right here a little bit you can do that with the HUD you can do it what oh my gosh she got a sand sermon a bottle best drop did he get war is it warding oh medicine I was about to say

Warding is crazy that’s so sick he has so much Mobility now I don’t even want to use a recall potion I just wanna but I feel like once your mobility in Terraria starts getting like whoa you can double jump whoa you could fly whoa you can run really fast well you can

Grappling hook that’s when it’s like wow this is really fun and then from there you get wings you get a jet pack you get a you got a starboard all right episode four well the corruption spread for him I mean the Crimson spread for him uh yeah the Crimson is spreading oh he’s

Going in the Crimson cave dude I remember the first time I went down the cave I would slowly go and place a torch like what he’s doing right now here now I just run straight in bro I just throw a glow stick and I just go hop in if I

Have no glow stick I just swing my sword torch swing my sword toward bombs away I thought that the only way to like mine Crimson or corruption blocks was using bombs I remember I watched I forgot who I watched but someone used purification powder to turn the blocks into regular Stone and mine

Through I don’t remember where I saw it from for the first time that blew my mind it is crazy how much or he’s mining I’ve been skipping through whenever he Minds ores but God the Sparkles has been mining through every ore and I mean every single orbine he Minds it would

Just like even in Minecraft I don’t do that I see Iron I’m like oh they just said it dude that’s crazy episode five I gotta be I gotta do that hi actually after I went to the bathroom I knocked out and went to sleep I actually don’t really remember yeah

Right now I think the video would be too long if I would just you know react to every single episode so I think you guys should just go watch his series on his channel and you know give us some support you know show how awesome we are

Terraria Community because I only got to episode five and there’s right now 12 episodes so that’s another seven hours of footage which might double or triple the length of this video plus I feel really weird making reaction content yeah but anyway yeah go show some support for Captain Sparkles in his

Series and thank you for watching this video and also don’t forget to drink some water Thank you
