The process is tedious but greatly speeds travel to remote locations, and often results in the excavator making important discoveries. They'll also need to plan for entry and exit points along the bridge accessible by grapple. Players who want to exercise smooth travel without a sky bridge can always excavate and bridge a straight surface-level path across their world map. Thus, it is recommended that players interested in Meteorite ore do not build a bridge until they have enough in hand to satisfy their crafting requirements. Second, they inhibit incoming Meteor crashes, leaving only very small deposits of Meteorite along the bridge. First, they take an enormous amount of time, material, and labor to build. There are two main disadvantages to bridges. Additionally, a player building a bridge high enough may encounter one or more Floating Islands during construction. Dangerous Jungle and Corruption Biome foes usually spawn beneath a bridge and this cannot reach the player during bridge travel. Sky bridges also allow for easy gathering nightly of Fallen Stars. A long, flat bridge spanning the width of the map has many advantages.(You will need in a large world about 4-5 stacks to build the bridge.)Travel is generally much quicker than across the Terrain of the lower world. Some Terraria players find it expedient to build a bridge across the upper reaches of the world. Use Sticky Bombs to clear out any nooks and then lay Dirt to create a safe avenue of approach to reach the harvested ore. Switch weapons to fight off the approaching Meteor Heads, and repeat the cycle until you've loosened most of the ore up. Once you find the crash site, carefully position yourself at a safe distance and chuck Dynamite into the crater to break up the bulk of the Meteor. These nasty critters pass straight through all block types just like the Eye of Cthulhu, and they make concentrating on mining a difficult prospect. Dynamite breaks up Meteorite quite nicely, and a few well-placed sticks can dissipate the spawning of Meteor Heads. It's unlikely you have Obsidian at this stage in the game, but if you've managed to collect some it makes mining your first Meteor much easier.ДЇinally, bring some Dynamite and Sticky Bombs. Obsidian Items protect you from fire damage, including damage inflicted from Meteorite Ore. If you have at least twenty blocks of Obsidian encountered during mining with your new Nightmare Pickaxe, do yourself a huge favor and smelt an Obsidian Skull and bring it along with you. Meteorite Ore is harmless once it's mined by your Pickaxe, you just can't touch it while it's in its natural state.

Unless you are carrying an Obsidian Skull, you're going to need to lay out some Dirt on top of the Meteorite to shield you from contact as you mine. Why are you bringing Dirt on a mining trip? Well, contact with Meteorite Ore causes damage. Include some Dirt blocks in your inventory, and bring your shiny new Nightmare Pickaxe. If you leave your home on a meteor-gathering expedition, be well prepared for a long hike. It can be almost anywhere near the World's surface, even underwater. Creating a complete set of these items grants you a potent ranged attack with unlimited ammunition, a prospect which makes Meteorite excavation a more than worthwhile endeavor.ДЇinding the Meteorite crash site is a matter of luck. Meteorite Ore is a crucial ingredient in several Items, including the Meteor Armor and the Space Gun. They replace the Biome they strike with a cratered area lined with rich Meteorite Ore and guarded by Meteor Heads. Meteorite crashes can happen almost anywhere on the surface of the Overworld. Sometime after destroying your first Shadow Orb, you'll see a message indicating that a Meteorite has fallen. Using some Worm Food, summon and harvest an Eater or two for the Demonite and Shadow Scales they drop, then head home to your Anvil and craft a shiny new three-piece Shadow Armor set. While both these sets provide fair protection, your ability to summon and defeat the Eater of Worlds at will now gives you access to materials necessary for constructing Shadow Armor, a very protective suit with added speed bonuses. Up until now you've likely been lumbering around in a set of Silver or Gold armor. If you do just want to progress toward the endgame as quickly as you can, just skip down to the section on the Dungeon and Skeletron. Below, we've detailed some of the things you might want to do before powering your way to the next boss battle.

Terraria is a great big open world with all kinds of things to see, build, and explore. This section of the guide is a little different. Our previous Terraria guides focused on helping you progress to each boss battle as quickly as possible.
