Welcome Terrarian!

This tool will walk you through the main content of Terraria 1.4 aka “Journey's End”. This list is obviously not exhaustive, because Terraria contains many random elements.

The document is primarily intended for experienced players. If you are a new to Terraria, I would rather advise you to follow your own adventure without this document which would spoil you much of the discoveries you could make. Terraria is an awesome game that deserve you take your time to explore it.
