>>55521088no matter how many hours you have or how many mods you install, the start of terraria is pretty much uniquely the same thing every time until the first few bosses
most of the time on new characters I just cheat sheet in a few heart containers and jump to the final tier of pre-hardmode ore gear unless there's a mod that vastly changes pre-hardmode pre-bosses progression (pretty rare to see)If he can get through this part of the game Ii think he'll like it. Terraria has amazing character progression.
