Guide

you can read it for now though

The **Guide** in Terraria is an NPC (non-player character) who provides players with information and advice on gameplay mechanics and crafting recipes. When players first start the game, the Guide will move into a house built by the player and offer tips on how to survive in the world of Terraria. He can also be used to help craft items by providing a list of the required materials and the crafting station needed. Additionally, the Guide can tell players which bosses they should defeat next based on their current progress in the game. Overall, the Guide serves as a helpful resource for players who are new to the game or looking to improve their skills.

The Guide in Terraria is a non-combatant and does not have any means of defending himself. If attacked by enemies, he will simply try to run away and hide in a nearby safe place. However, players can protect the Guide by providing him with a safe home and surrounding the area with walls and doors to prevent enemies from entering. It's important to keep the Guide safe, as he is a valuable source of information and assistance for players throughout the game.

## Advice

**If there are no tools in the player's inventory:**

"You should start by chopping down trees and gathering wood. It's an essential resource that you can use to craft all sorts of things. Once you have some wood, you can make a workbench, which will allow you to craft more advanced items. You'll also need some basic tools like a pickaxe and an axe, which you can craft using wood and other materials. Good luck!"

**If there are no tools, no ores and no bars in the player's inventory:**

"Well, you're going to need to start by gathering some basic materials. You should start by chopping down trees and gathering wood. It's an essential resource that you can use to craft all sorts of things. You'll also need some basic tools like a pickaxe and an axe, which you can craft using wood and other materials. Once you have some tools, you can start mining for ore underground. Look for rocks that have a metallic sheen, and use your pickaxe to break them open. Once you have ore, you can smelt it into bars using a furnace, which you can also craft. Good luck!"

**If there are no tools, at least one ore, and no bars in the player's inventory:**

"Looks like you've got some ore there! You can use that to craft better tools and weapons. First, you'll need to smelt the ore into bars using a furnace. Then, you can use those bars to craft better tools and weapons at an anvil. You'll also need some basic tools like a pickaxe and an axe, which you can craft using wood and other materials. Once you have the right tools, you can start mining for more ore and materials to craft even better items. Good luck!"

**If there are no tools and at least one bar in the player's inventory:**

"Looks like you've got a metal bar there! You can use that to craft a better pickaxe or axe, which will make it easier to gather resources. You'll also need some basic materials like wood to craft the tool. Once you have the right materials, you can craft the tool at an anvil. Good luck!"

**If the player has no more than 100 maximum health:**

"You should try to find and defeat some bosses to increase your maximum health. You can summon bosses by crafting items or using certain items at specific locations. Once you defeat a boss, you'll earn a heart crystal that you can use to permanently increase your maximum health. You can also find heart crystals hidden underground or in chests. Good luck!"

**If the player has no more than 20 maximum mana:**

"You can increase your maximum mana by finding and using mana crystals. These crystals can be found in underground caves or in chests scattered throughout the world. Once you find a mana crystal, simply use it to permanently increase your maximum mana. You can also craft items that grant temporary increases to your mana, such as mana potions. Good luck!"

**If the Tavernkeep is present:**

"Ah, the Tavernkeep! He's a new NPC who specializes in selling unique weapons and items that can be used to summon powerful enemies. He also offers unique quests that reward you with Defender Medals, which can be used to purchase even more powerful items. If you're looking for a challenge, talk to the Tavernkeep and see what he has to offer!"

**If neither Merchant nor Nurse are present:**

"You should try to attract the Merchant and Nurse to your world by building suitable homes for them. The Merchant will move in if you have at least 50 silver coins, and the Nurse will move in if you have at least 100 maximum health. Make sure to build homes with walls, a door, a table, and a chair to attract NPCs. You can also check if there are any other NPCs who might be interested in moving in. Good luck!"
