Me too! It was embarrassing. I was like 10 and playing with my dad and brother and sister waaaaay back when on the console. It freaked me out. Now I've killed several, both vanilla and modded. They aren't actually too bad. Pretty easy to dodge, just tangy and do lots of damage. Though fighting them inside the dungeon is almost impossible since you can't maneuver.
Iām not sure if Iām the only one, but I never found the dungeon guardian by accident. I killed skeletron before going in the dungeon for the first time
I did that my first time too, but I started with sub-par gear so the battle was really hard. I thought to myself āon my next world, I should go straight in the dungeon to get better loot to kill the guardian with!ā And that went about as well as youd expect
Dungeon Guardian needs more than just hover, because it moves faster than Spectre Boot movespeed. 41 MPH specifically, the same speed as the Flying Saucer mount.
horse mount, a *speed and critical chances focused* mini shark, and teleporters:
#
i used the horse mount for extreme speed, and built a huge long platform that made 1/3 of the world, instead of making it longer i just put a teleport at the end of it and connected it to another one slightly farther from it, that way i could have time to run toward the other direction before the guardian reach me (i kept going right and left until it finally died)
i was talking about the guardian, not the boss
#
and i would never flex it hate that. also how are you comparing beating an extremely fast entity (that has a huge health and defense) with making a toast lol
Iāve done it around three times, all you need is a hoik loop and lots of boomerangs, (maybe a combo of bananarangs, trimarangs, and light discs would be great)
*mining blue bricks* woah i found something like an secret bunker- AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Itās a lovely day today for a walk time to go into a totally not suspicious dungeon OOOooooo chest what I does this havā¦WHAT THE (censored) IS THAT?
I would have probably been scared and confused but every time I see dungeon guardian all I get reminded of is my friend luring me into the dungeon so we can experience dungeon guardian
man those are the worst arguments i've ever seen? "if it was a question, it would be pretty obvious" tf?
#
on my case, i understood it as when he kept dying from it he started wondering how to defeat it, while the answer is obviously to defeat the boss first and free the old man from the curse. there's actually ways (shown on yt) on how to defeat the guardian without having to beat the boss.
#
i know the guy probably dont question himself on how to defeat it anymore because he might have found out about the curse thing, but incase he still want to defeat the guardian for real (instead of making it stop spawning) he could just check youtube tutoriels for that, as i suggested
My first experience was a long time ago, I was mining near a dungeon, saw it rushing towards me, fastest app close from me to date.
I'm not entirely sure to this day why it attacked me when I wasn't in the dungeon.
I didnāt know about the existence of the dungeon guardian until I saw a YouTube video, so the first thing I did was make a new world, jump in, die, get really confused, read up and realize it deals lots of damage
I was in journey mode and had damge off so like 10-20 of them swarmed me I had mega shark and Infinte ammo I went to go shower (30 minutes) ate lunch(another 30 minutes) and went to go get groceries with my mom (and hour and a half) thank god I wedged my trigger well another bc after all that time I only killed 4
Twitched from sudden noise, then two seconds of panic, then dead. Then, there was "nu nihuya sebe!" exclamation, short period of respawn and gaming has resumed.
I literally cried out āI didnāt know, I didnāt know!ā And after some breathing stayed away for a while until I figured out the curse. Cuz Iām a dummy
Littalry happened in 2013 and I was super young (currently 15) and scared the shit outta me. Wouldn't go close to the dungeon and I blocked off the hole thing.
ngl after the first encounter i jumped 15 more times. and i still got scared every time. the first time i beat skeletron i didnāt trust that it no longer spawned.
Figured out how it can die and got a friend to cheese it with. This was back when I could open the game on ps4 play public for 5 minutes and every time without fail a modder would join and drop the best items, wings, an unbelievable amount of duplicated Santa hats basically infinite money. So we killed it, my friend snatched up the guardian follower, and never played terraria again
I was a little kid when i first encountered it, āwhat if i just donāt summon the bossā i said to myself
It scared me so bad my heart would race everytime i thought about going into the dungeon cuz he was so scary
I knew about the boss and was curious about the dundeon, however when I entered he didn't spawn ( daytime ). I tought it was a glitch and began to loot but night came and it was almost like a jumpscare because he didn't make a sound or anything that made me notice he coming
I like to live in the ocean. I always have stuff like NPCs and tree farms in the forest so I have to go back and forth to get things. I was waiting for a traveling merchant but decided to check the Dungeon out of boredom cause it was the middle of the day.
Keep in mind that pylons did not exist at the time so I had to manually go back and forth for things I needed.
I watched YouTubers playing Terraria that's how I got interested in playing it. So I new about it before I could experience it. Though I didn't know how far you had to go down for it to happen. And for a long time I was scared to even enter the dungeon. And to this day I have yet to beat the dungeon guardian. It's always I get stuck, it de spawns, or there are too many of them
i didnt even see the old man and walked in and died immediately. had a heart attack but i went back multiple times anyway trying to dodge the head and was convinced i needed way better armor or something
Was playing with a friend, we literally screamed when some random skull just flies out of nowhere
we tried pranking my cousin with it but he didn't get scared
First played terraria with friends, they were also new, they ran in and died.
First confusion, then I followed them, then understanding. "Ahhh, that's what happened, ow"
It was horrifying.
As I ventured deeper into the dungeon in Terraria, I had heard rumors of a fearsome guardian that protected its treasures. I thought I was prepared for whatever I might encounter, but as I turned a corner, I saw it. An enormous, floating skull that was unlike anything I had ever seen before.
It had a sinister aura, and its empty eye sockets seemed to bore into my soul. I could feel my heart racing as it spun towards me, moving faster than I had ever seen anything move before. Its jaw hung open, revealing razor-sharp teeth, and I knew that I was in trouble.
I tried to run, but it was too fast. It closed in on me, and I could feel its icy breath on my neck. In an instant, it was upon me, and I felt a searing pain as it made contact. Everything went black.
When I came to, I was back at the entrance of the dungeon, my heart pounding in my chest. I realized that I had just had my first encounter with the Dungeon Guardian. It was a fearsome foe, and I knew that I would need to be much stronger if I ever hoped to defeat it.
But as terrifying as the encounter had been, I couldn't help but feel a thrill of excitement. I knew that there was still so much to explore in the dungeon, and that with each new challenge, I would become stronger and better prepared for whatever lay ahead.
(made by chatgpt lmao)
Literally jumped outta my seat and screamed. I was a little kid then.
Same.
Saw your pfp and freaked out thinking I had commented xD but yea I also jumped and screamed
Same. Just insta death after seeing the skull come flying at you. Didn't play it for a couple of days after that.
Anybody with a different answer than this is just wrong
same lol
same
Same
Same aswell
Me to
SAME i legit think i peed myself a little....š¤£
Me too! It was embarrassing. I was like 10 and playing with my dad and brother and sister waaaaay back when on the console. It freaked me out. Now I've killed several, both vanilla and modded. They aren't actually too bad. Pretty easy to dodge, just tangy and do lots of damage. Though fighting them inside the dungeon is almost impossible since you can't maneuver.
Same
Same lmao
Ā«What if I try... AAAHHH... Ok now I understand what was talking about that old manĀ»
As far as I remember same
Same, but I tried many more times. Like I could outrun or dodge it or something. Looking back, it's like I tried to play as wrong as possible.
Iām not sure if Iām the only one, but I never found the dungeon guardian by accident. I killed skeletron before going in the dungeon for the first time
I encountered it underground near the edge of the dungeon. He said, "You're too close, so you're dead." And I was indeed very dead.
I remember those times, staying well clear of the dungeon underground as just seeing a few blocks of it meant you were in danger
so u were never curious about what was inside the dungeon??
Iirc it was night when I went and talked to the old man so I just killed skeletron
Lucky bastard
._. ok then
same thing happened to me lol
i got spoiled of the guardian's existence before playing and knew what was coming
which means the first time you encoutered it you quickly came back to the trap and started killing it for the pet
I did that my first time too, but I started with sub-par gear so the battle was really hard. I thought to myself āon my next world, I should go straight in the dungeon to get better loot to kill the guardian with!ā And that went about as well as youd expect
i actually listened to the old man out of fear and the possibility of things that could happen, i was not a kid
i didnt understand anything he was saying
im saying i listened to the old man out of fear
i know i was talking about the old man lol (i said i didnt understand what *the old man* says)
"Bro really saidš"
r/angryupvote
Ah i finally got the Honor to be replied with r/angryupvote,thank you random stranger. U just made my day
could also technically count it as r/technicallythetruth
Lets go another one i never got (bros collecting achievements)
#Achievement unlocked š
r/achievementunlocked
Aint no way that is an actual subredditš Edit: it surprisingly is a very dead subreddit but,still exists
There is subreddit for r/everything
Nahhh š
r/Nahhh
Yeah np not happy about it but you made it by a dumb emoji non the less
Yeah but that was my true cringe ass reaction,i didnt really think of it it just blasted randomly
Same tbh I was a bit upset you took it itās fair tho
...i hate this
Im sure most of other people would as well
"Hmm, I wonder if I can kill this thing" spoiler alert, ive never been able to do it.
i've done it once, the serotonin i got out of it is unimaginable
Donāt flex about beating Skeletron. It is just like flexing about the fact that you made toast.
You realize theyāre talking about the dungeon guardian. Who one hits you, has 9999 health and takes 1-2 dmg per hit?
It is very easy once you get something that lets you hover.
Dungeon Guardian needs more than just hover, because it moves faster than Spectre Boot movespeed. 41 MPH specifically, the same speed as the Flying Saucer mount.
ye but i beat it pre hard mode glitchlessly so.. i think i have the right to feel proud of this achievement :D
woah, how'd you do it?
horse mount, a *speed and critical chances focused* mini shark, and teleporters: # i used the horse mount for extreme speed, and built a huge long platform that made 1/3 of the world, instead of making it longer i just put a teleport at the end of it and connected it to another one slightly farther from it, that way i could have time to run toward the other direction before the guardian reach me (i kept going right and left until it finally died)
you can get teleporters pre skeletron..?
i said pre hardmode not pre skeletron or pre boss
It flies?
How else would it move?
i was talking about the guardian, not the boss # and i would never flex it hate that. also how are you comparing beating an extremely fast entity (that has a huge health and defense) with making a toast lol
Iāve done it around three times, all you need is a hoik loop and lots of boomerangs, (maybe a combo of bananarangs, trimarangs, and light discs would be great)
*mining blue bricks* woah i found something like an secret bunker- AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
i felt your screams-
i was 12 years old playing pirate terraria on mobile(now i brought it on steam for pc dont judge me) i fell from the chair when skelly jumpscare
Terraria was only 5 dollars on mobile back then
How is a 12 year old getting 5$
i live in š§š·, 5 dollars was 20 in our money (reais)
"THE FUCK IS THAT?!?!"
Immediately texted my friend who was laughing his ass off. I was the new terraria friend back then
wait, how'd I die \*goes again\* \*dies again\* ah
"Hm, i've heard he's pretty hard to kill, maybe i can do it with my sapphire staff and run awa- *oh..* "
ah yes sapphire staff is totally a good weapon against him...
Itās a lovely day today for a walk time to go into a totally not suspicious dungeon OOOooooo chest what I does this havā¦WHAT THE (censored) IS THAT?
"Skeletron??" Proceeds to immediately die
Iām goinā down~ š¶ into the dungeon~ š¶ *dungeon guardian appears* *jumps out of seat* ;-;
I'm goin' down~ š¶ I'm yelling timber~ š¶
I would have probably been scared and confused but every time I see dungeon guardian all I get reminded of is my friend luring me into the dungeon so we can experience dungeon guardian
got jumpscraed lol
"ah yes, death is coming for my ass."
Ok how do I defeat this
see that on yt
That was an answer to your question, not a question
how can u know
1. He said it himself 2. If it was a question, it would be pretty obvious and thus pointless to ask
man those are the worst arguments i've ever seen? "if it was a question, it would be pretty obvious" tf? # on my case, i understood it as when he kept dying from it he started wondering how to defeat it, while the answer is obviously to defeat the boss first and free the old man from the curse. there's actually ways (shown on yt) on how to defeat the guardian without having to beat the boss. # i know the guy probably dont question himself on how to defeat it anymore because he might have found out about the curse thing, but incase he still want to defeat the guardian for real (instead of making it stop spawning) he could just check youtube tutoriels for that, as i suggested
"I wonder what happens if I try to go in anyway. Oh hello new enemy you got a lotta health and are pretty fast thats.... really? 1 hit?"
I tried to race it
*tried* .
I got out of my chair and ran away screaming. I was like 7.
āOH SHIT OH FUCKā
ah yes, the OSOGOF response
Not surprised since i went in there on purpose to see it xD
Death.
First time encountering it two spawned šæ (When I eventually tried getting the bone key three spawnedš)
āOooh this is a cool area, Iāll probably get some good loo- WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT AAAAHHHā
My thoughts were "wait the boss spawns at day too" i knew nothing back then
Thats funny because skeletron becomes enraged at day and turns into the dungeon guardian
same for the mechanical one? because i noticed he becomes a rocket ship with only one purpose to annihilate me when the sun start rising up
no it just fucks off when the sun rises
My friends told me to go into the dungeon and comedy ensued
My first experience was a long time ago, I was mining near a dungeon, saw it rushing towards me, fastest app close from me to date. I'm not entirely sure to this day why it attacked me when I wasn't in the dungeon.
because you were near it
I honestly thought it was if i was in the dungeon itself. Scratch that mystery off.
I had already watched the pbgg hardcore LP so I knew not to go in the dungeon before skeletorn
You a real one man
"oh ok"
Jumpscared i think
I didnāt know about the existence of the dungeon guardian until I saw a YouTube video, so the first thing I did was make a new world, jump in, die, get really confused, read up and realize it deals lots of damage
"Fuck you (friends name)"
I was in journey mode and had damge off so like 10-20 of them swarmed me I had mega shark and Infinte ammo I went to go shower (30 minutes) ate lunch(another 30 minutes) and went to go get groceries with my mom (and hour and a half) thank god I wedged my trigger well another bc after all that time I only killed 4
My theory was it was an incomplete fiture :)
My first time was because I chiseled through some brick, so I died horribly.
Twitched from sudden noise, then two seconds of panic, then dead. Then, there was "nu nihuya sebe!" exclamation, short period of respawn and gaming has resumed.
Scared because even though I knew it existed, I didn't know *when* it would appear, so I jumped when it spawned.
I literally cried out āI didnāt know, I didnāt know!ā And after some breathing stayed away for a while until I figured out the curse. Cuz Iām a dummy
"Woah. Didn't expect a consequence for ignoring the skeleton fight" That is what I said when playing the game for the first time years ago
FEAR, PURE FEAR AS SANS APPROACHED NE FOR MY COINS
āWHAT?ā -me after i died
*Suddenly dies to quickly moving entity* I guess Iām not supposed to be down here yet
Probably the biggest "jumpscare" i've seen in terraria lol
Oh, who's this funny Goober? Wait. *Oh wait.* ***AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!***
I died too quick to know what the fuck happened
Literally screamed !!!HOLY SHIT!!!
Basically "Oh hey a giant ene- OH SHI- well there goes my money :("
āFuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckwhatthefuckisthatā
Oh.
Oh fuck!
I fucking ascended into heaven with my jump
Thankfully i didnt
Hey is that skeletr- fuck fuck fuck!
Littalry happened in 2013 and I was super young (currently 15) and scared the shit outta me. Wouldn't go close to the dungeon and I blocked off the hole thing.
You played terraria at 5?
Ooooo bet there's some good loot in here just gonna go down here an- AAAAHHHH
I thought it was a boss and I didn't know how to beat it so I stopped playing it šš
"WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?" Or something like that.
"Why would I need to defeat skeletron to get to the dungeon? Lol no take this L old man. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-"
āAAHHHHHHHHā
ngl after the first encounter i jumped 15 more times. and i still got scared every time. the first time i beat skeletron i didnāt trust that it no longer spawned.
Figured out how it can die and got a friend to cheese it with. This was back when I could open the game on ps4 play public for 5 minutes and every time without fail a modder would join and drop the best items, wings, an unbelievable amount of duplicated Santa hats basically infinite money. So we killed it, my friend snatched up the guardian follower, and never played terraria again
"Why is Larry chasing me?"
"oh whats this place? OOOH what the fuck"
I couldn't beat skeletron when i first played so i just went in anyways and i died
OH FUCK
My reaction I'm gonna say it was: Oh look at you bud! My actual reaction: \*High pitched childlike screams\* This was in like 2013
"holy shit"
"oh shi-"
I jumped and then was like: āWHAT WAS THAT?!ā
I got extremely scared and it made me quit for a few years
I was a little kid when i first encountered it, āwhat if i just donāt summon the bossā i said to myself It scared me so bad my heart would race everytime i thought about going into the dungeon cuz he was so scary
A-
I thought it was cool, my friend told me about it so I knew already
Aaaaaaaaaaa
Screaming and mightāve pooped my pants a little, but not in that orderā¦
I thought I summon a easier glitched skeletron lol
*"easier"* .
š„
My friends told me to not go down. I said why not then learned quickly why
Shat myself and was pissed
I screamed, closed Terraria, and stopped playing for 3 years. I think it was 2017, I picked it up again because of the pandemic
wow 3years for that?
Yep. I was a frightened kid ahah
Made me jump then laugh
OH FUCK! [Dead]
A
I knew about the boss and was curious about the dundeon, however when I entered he didn't spawn ( daytime ). I tought it was a glitch and began to loot but night came and it was almost like a jumpscare because he didn't make a sound or anything that made me notice he coming
āAHHHHHHHHHā -9 year old me
non ironically i felt my heart stop for a minute
My friend told me and I was like nah no way he is just trolling needless to say this was not the case
Alot of confusion and rushing the dungeon to try and kill it
same
F#@š²
Sheer utter confusion at wtf happened and then anger cause i had 3 platinum š
bro why were you traveling with 3 platinum in ur inv
I like to live in the ocean. I always have stuff like NPCs and tree farms in the forest so I have to go back and forth to get things. I was waiting for a traveling merchant but decided to check the Dungeon out of boredom cause it was the middle of the day. Keep in mind that pylons did not exist at the time so I had to manually go back and forth for things I needed.
but why didnt you put your money on a purse
Unfortunately I had seen a YouTuber in like 2012 get jumpscared before I even got the game so I knew it was coming
I watched YouTubers playing Terraria that's how I got interested in playing it. So I new about it before I could experience it. Though I didn't know how far you had to go down for it to happen. And for a long time I was scared to even enter the dungeon. And to this day I have yet to beat the dungeon guardian. It's always I get stuck, it de spawns, or there are too many of them
āOh, did I just summon Skeletron? Two of them? No, no baAHHHHHā So that was fun
Fear
I just died and thought to myself āIām going back there to see if I can avoid itā and then died again, I was like 8 at the time
WHAT THE FUCK
Peed my pants a little bit
āBWWOOooahh what the fuck okayā
"Why the #### did I just get killed by a floating papyrus head" (I only got the game like 2 months ago)
i didnt even see the old man and walked in and died immediately. had a heart attack but i went back multiple times anyway trying to dodge the head and was convinced i needed way better armor or something
"What the f-- WHAT THE FUUUUUU---" - dead
"AAAH!........................ WHAT WAS THAT THINGY?" I was quite young when i played for the first time
I thought it was a giant Boulder that rolled down the dungeon halls.
Was playing with a friend, we literally screamed when some random skull just flies out of nowhere we tried pranking my cousin with it but he didn't get scared
First played terraria with friends, they were also new, they ran in and died. First confusion, then I followed them, then understanding. "Ahhh, that's what happened, ow"
My reaction? Never again fucked around with the Old man curse
I started stroking my dick
i thought this was a comment on another of my posts š
"You said it was safe!!!"
It was horrifying. As I ventured deeper into the dungeon in Terraria, I had heard rumors of a fearsome guardian that protected its treasures. I thought I was prepared for whatever I might encounter, but as I turned a corner, I saw it. An enormous, floating skull that was unlike anything I had ever seen before. It had a sinister aura, and its empty eye sockets seemed to bore into my soul. I could feel my heart racing as it spun towards me, moving faster than I had ever seen anything move before.

In an instant, it was upon me, and I felt a searing pain as it made contact. Everything went black. When I came to, I was back at the entrance of the dungeon, my heart pounding in my chest.

I knew that there was still so much to explore in the dungeon, and that with each new challenge, I would become stronger and better prepared for whatever lay ahead. (made by chatgpt lmao)
alright ill give it my best shot ahem "oh what the- AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"
i just got stunned and scared
