Terraria Easy Arena Building Guide! Make your own OP Arena! Lava Trap Included!

Hello friend having trouble with some boss fights getting killed by invasions over and over again always wants an arena but with zero idea on how to start well you’ve come to the right place welcome to zuzukorin’s one stop arena building guide i’ll show you a simple arena design that will surely make your

Terraria life much easier i’m zuzukorn and i aim to entertain you encourage you and offer you a place to call home so subscribe now and join the zuzicon family to begin why would you even want an arena well as the boss fights get more intense and fast paced

It gets much harder to dodge attacks without the nice flat areas to run on yohomi’s boots also get disrupted pretty easily in addition wings can only get you so high before falling and it becomes extremely difficult to control your elevation of course this is without the soaring insignia

If you have a proper arena however you have lots of space to run you can also change your height as you please and it can also add in beneficial items such as star lanterns and campfires depending on how you build it you can also add in lava traps for invasions

First of all i want to make it clear that there are many many ways to build an arena and if yours works then great there are many viable designs but i’ll be sharing mine to begin find a nice flat area near your starting base you could do this somewhere else but i

Prefer to have it near me for easy access invasions also usually swarm the middle spawn point most of the time you won’t find a nice flat area naturally so just mine and flatten it yourself otherwise just fill in a suitable amount of dirt blocks till you reach the level that you like

Personally i also remove the background walls because i think it looks pretty ugly to me there are no exact dimensions for this arena so you can widen it or shorten it as much as you like to suit your needs for my block of choice i will go with the ebonstone bricks

Which are simply made with ebonstone at a furnace other nice blocks i like are the grey bricks and the snow bricks those are really nice to use too just line the ground with these if you want just go two or three blocks lower as well we really have to thank the developers

For quick block replays here this feature allows you to simply swap out the dirt blocks with the blocks that you’re using which makes it so much easier and so much more convenient next we’re going to need some walls for the height of your platforms there isn’t

Really a set height that you have to go for if you’re in journey mode a good height would be just the max range you can place i know i’m jumping here but if you stand still and build upwards in journey mode with extended range the maximum height that you can place is

A good indicator if you’re not in journey mode what i like to do is first place maximum height wall jumping then place platforms the highest you can while standing still then go for maximum height on the platforms while jumping again but like i said if you want it higher

Feel free to do so but keep in mind that flying up these platforms won’t be an issue but if you place them too close to each other falling through the platforms will be a huge pain so you would rather space them out more than keep them too close together

Next start building the little solid block areas what i like to do is place four at the bottom then extend each layer by two blocks on the side then remove the middle two blocks to place torches there now just extend the walls upwards and repeat the process

So i’ve done about four layers in total which is sufficient if you want three is probably okay but i think four is a good number next use platforms of your choice and build those all the way to the end of your arena i’m using boreal wood platforms for this arena here

Then build your final pillar of walls our arena is starting to take shape so just do this for the other layers that you’ve built next we will be extending the pillow of walls to the top of the entire arena this should be the last of it there we go

Great now it’s simply time to replicate build all these solid block areas on all the relevant intersections there is another arena design that uses purely platforms or plunger boxes however i prefer having solid blocks because these can actually block some enemy projectiles i’ll show you how to utilize the arena effectively later on

With that completed all i have to do now is fill in the torches in the middle the arena is finally looking pretty legitimate and it looks really good if i do say so myself however don’t think that the arena is finished yet there are many features that we have to

Add in to get the most out of our arena these boosts will give you much needed help for difficult boss fights and invasions the first boosts that we will be getting are from campfires these are easily crafted by hand using torches and they can be placed to offer you life regeneration

Just place them wherever you like as you can see from the top left being in range of the campfire gives you boosted life regen which is extra helpful in expert mode plus the range of a campfire is surprisingly large it covers more than you think for me i

Only lose the buff when i go from the first pillar all the way to the end of the third so just place a few campfires around for its range to cover every inch of the arena you can check if you missed the spot by looking at the buff menu on the top left

The next boost will be from stars in a bottle these are crafted using empty bottles and fallen stars they boost your mana regeneration rate so it helps out if you are a mage or a summoner if you are playing melee or ranger you can skip this one if you wish to

Just like campfires the range of this are much higher than you think so just place them in a way to cover your arena for the next boost we will need some chain made at an anvil using iron bars then craft the heart lantern using chain and life crystals

These are extra important as they also boost your life regen just scatter them around as per the others i do recommend placing one at the top of your arena though because there will be times where you’re fighting in the air above everything so having one near there will give you a

Boost even if you’re not within the boundaries of your arena the next boost we are going for requires the dryad head over to your local skimpy lady and buy some sunflowers i’ll just get about five here then buy twice the amount of grass seeds so for me that would be ten

If you notice we can’t plant the sunflowers directly onto the bricks so just replace two blocks with dirt and plant the grass seeds then plant the sunflower on top sunflowers give you reduced enemy spawns which are helpful during boss fight similarly i recommend placing some on top because having a wyvern spawn and

During boss fights in the air could just ruin the entire fight completely the last boost that we’re going for is honey craft some empty buckets using iron then head over to a hive in the jungle use these empty buckets to scoop up lots of the sweet yellow goodness

If you’re worried that there isn’t enough honey just mine up some hive blocks these usually release honey when broken so just use them for a refill to incorporate honey into our arena dig up two blocks and pour two buckets of honey in there watch what happens when i walk through i

Obtain the honey buff which boosts life regen even more you have to be careful with this though because you could get trapped in there if you’re not careful but as long as you dash through you get the buff without being hindered too much this is the only boost i recommend

Spamming on each of the solid areas you could go with less but during a boss fight it is much simpler to have many of these so you don’t have to stress about going to the two or three that you’ve placed in a specific spot with all those boosts completed our

Arena is well suited for boss fights however there is one last bonus feature that i recommend you to build and that is a lava trap to deal with invasions find a nice spot to dig a hole in the ground there aren’t exact dimensions for how deep the hole is

But you don’t want it too shallow then line the sides with your brick of choice there it looks pretty good to me then remove the natural dirt wall so we can actually see then create a solid row of blocks four to five spaces below the surface also place two extra blocks in the

Corner here this will prevent enemies from jumping out later on then dig a column at the side this is how we will enter the bottom compartment once again just line the sides for the aesthetics and remove excess walls there that looks pretty good next make a trap door for access into the

Bottom compartment you could use teleporters but if you haven’t unlocked the steampunker yet this is what you have to use for now build a row of platforms so that your character stands directly underneath the hole like so grab a bucket of lava from somewhere and pour that into the trap

The farm is now almost complete enemies will drop into the trap and can’t jump out to finish this off head over to your local goblin lover the mechanic and buy some actuators a switch some wires and a wrench the color doesn’t really matter then cover the top of your trap use the

Actuators and place them on the top minus the two corner blocks if you mess up just use a wire cutter to remove them finally place the switch wherever you want and draw wires using the wrench connecting the actuators to the switch the trap is now completed we can freely

Turn the top row on and off whenever we want we can also leave the blocks on most of the time so we won’t fall in and during invasions we can turn them off to reveal the lava trap below i forgot to mention this but placing whatever banners you’ve obtained also

Gives you a damage and defense boost from that specific enemy so add those in if you want the good thing about this design is that there are plenty of hanging spaces for your banners which truly make your arena the perfect place for fighting i’ll now show you some ways you can use

The arena here is one i built for my summoner series using snow bricks as you can see i went a little overboard with the sunflowers and the campfires in this one but well i think it does look pretty nice the pillars are also extremely close to each other for this one

So the thing about this arena is that the solid blocks actually protects you from many projectiles if you look closely the elf archer’s arrows do not pass through the blocks and by standing there none of them actually shoot anything at me however this shines the most when you’re

Faced with enemies like the everscream the everscreams pine attacks are also blocked and i can stand here perfectly safe of course this also means that you can’t attack them without a weapon that passes through walls but as a whole the solid blocks act as a quick cover whenever you need

It this also works for the center nk 1’s minigun but not its rockets so just take note that you’re not protected from everything however most notably this does block the destroyer’s lasers so that’s nice well if you enjoyed the video make sure to subscribe and hit the bell
