Re-Logic’s popular action-adventure sandbox game, Terraria, received a new hotfix Update 1.4.0.5 on the fourth of June. Apart from a number of optimizations and bug fixes, the update introduces a new adversary in the form of the Torch God!
This is a formidable entity that terrorizes Terraria and is very different from the other foes you have faced in the game until now.
We have come up with a new guide to help you summon the Torch God in Terraria: Journey’s End.
Summon the Torch God in Terraria: Journey’s End
The Torch God will only appear if you meet certain criteria in the game. First of all, you have to be at least 200 blocks below the ground level. There should also be more than 100 torches in your collection.
You need to be well prepared for the upcoming battle. You will require a lot of space to dodge the Torch God’s attacks, so begin your preparations by making a large-sized arena. Now put down your torches on the ground, next to each other until the screen begins to turn darker. This is a common occurrence when there are a hundred torches present onscreen.
The Battle of the Torch God
At this point, the familiar boss music will start playing, and your torches – even the ones off-screen – will start hurling fireballs at you from every direction. To make things a bit more complicated, you will be inflicted with the Blackout debuff that will hinder your vision. Move swiftly around the arena and dodge them to the best of your ability.
The battle against the Torch God involves surviving this attack as your torches gradually start getting extinguished. When the last of them go out, you win. Since there is no actual physical entity to fight here, this is basically a test of your stamina. After this, your torches will light up once again, and you will be rewarded with the Torch God’s Favour item.
