Season Summary

The group immediately gets into the rhythm of things without delay the moment they join, and many of this early stage involves the cast getting to know each other, as few of them had ever played together prior to this season. This quickly sets in stone a rivalry between Tarluk and Sylvette, as they wind up clashing multiple times. TJ explores and finds corruption immediately to the left, nearly dying 6 minutes in to an Eater of Souls. Albinum and Zimbo both spend their time alone exploring underground and getting ahead of everyone else in progression, while Suso, Bin, and Lobster stick around the house and explore the caves closer to it.

Zimbo and Susoheit remain mute for the beginning section, though when TJ, Lobster, Bin, and Susoheit split off from the group, Suso unmutes since it's more quiet. Unfortunately, this is quickly followed up by the three leaving Suso behind, and due to their inexperience, Susoheit gets trapped underground by slimes and dies on their own. Upon regrouping, everyone but Albinum goes underneath the house to explore those caverns. Bin notices a boulder trap ahead of the group, but Tarluk mines a pressure plate connected to a nearby dart trap, and assuming this was the pressure plate connected to the boulder trap, jumps forward onto some Topaz ore to mine it, where he misses the pressure plate atop it and gets clipped by the boulder, dying instantly.

In the next session, Zimbo obtains a microphone. The group mines a meteorite and face off against the Eye of Cthulhu, and Eater of Worlds without a hitch. Upon going to fight the Skeletron, Sylvette summons it without waiting for everyone, leaving Albinum, Zimbo, and Lobster to fight it without TJ and Bin. Lobster takes a lot of damage near the end of the fight, but they defeat it just before the two arrive. They then go down to explore the Dungeon.

During the dungeon, Bin gets left behind everyone else, and Sylvette comes back to try and help him move faster. Sylvette grapples over a water pit with spikes at the bottom, and Bin tries to replicate this, but fails, and drops into the spike pit, where an Angry Bones finishes him off. Sylvette runs ahead to get with everyone else while Zimbo goes back to try and grab his items, but Zimbo gets so engrossed in sorting items that he forgets about his breath meter and drowns silently, catching everyone off guard. They quickly retreat the dungeon after this.

After this, the four remaining players decide to split to farm for the items they each need will need. Sylvette and Lobster decide to be mages, so they go to the Corruption to farm for two Bands of Starpower, while TJ and Albinum go to the Dungeon to try and get melee and ranged items/accessories. In the middle of this, a Slime Rain event starts, and Lobster and Sylvette decide to fight King Slime. After TJ and Albinum find the items they need in the dungeon, they begin mining a hellevator (a line that goes straight down to hell).

After they reach hell, the group gets back together again, and they all begin to explore hell and make a platform for the Wall of Flesh. While doing this, TJ accidentally steps into lava due to a halfblock next to it, and tries to mine it out of the way. The lava falls into a lava pool below, raising it by just enough for it to take out the staircase that Lobster was going up, dipping them into lava twice before they accidentally scroll past the health potions in their hotbar and die to the fire damage before they can heal.

The remaining three make preparations to go into hardmode, looting the floating islands, obtaining honey, and fighting the Goblin Army, but Sylvette is too afraid to go into hardmode without the maximum amount of health possible due to vastly overestimating how powerful the enemies would be. Albinum argues with them over this, threatening to start the boss fight without TJ and Sylvette, but in the middle of the argument, Albinum, who was distracted by a heart crystal, falls onto an explosive trap in the jungle, leaving TJ and Sylvette in shock.

Sylvette and TJ get to full health and fight the Wall of Flesh, defeating it with ease and beginning hardmode. They break Demon Altars and begin the process of gearing up, with Sylvette finding a Moon Charm along the way. However, this is cut short by them getting Skeletron Prime to suddenly spawn during one of the nights, but they despawn it by recalling after running a large distance away from the house. After this, the Destroyer's random spawn triggers. They try to despawn it in the same way, but the Destroyer doesn't despawn based on player proximity, and it started chasing them.

Without the DPS or armor to fight the Destroyer head-on, TJ and Sylvette try to run from the Destroyer and survive until day. Sylvette gets low due to a group of Orbital Probes, but manages to dodge a few of the lasers and recalls back to heal. TJ runs away from the house on half health and tries to set up honey to heal with, but it drops through the platforms right as the Destroyer charges at him. TJ tries to run away, but gets trapped by the Destroyer. However, he jumps into the honey that dropped from the platforms earlier, with the regenerative effect of the honey barely keeping him alive long enough to recall away, surviving on 4 health. Later on in the fight, TJ tries to lure the Destroyer to the right, but as he teleports, the Destroyer comes right back to the house, not giving him enough time to heal at the nurse. He recalls again to try and get behind it, only to end up getting teleported into the Destroyer's tail, only surviving due to a grapple upwards just out of its hitbox. The two survive the Destroyer fight traumatized, yet beginning to believe they have what it takes to win.

Whilst finishing up with getting geared, TJ is forced to get over his fear of spiders as they farm them for items. The two then take on the Destroyer, Skeletron Prime, and the Twins, winning each fight. When going into the Jungle, Sylvette nearly dies to a surprise attack from a Trapper, surviving on 3 health. When going to fight Plantera, they accidentally spawn and quickly defeat the Queen Bee, before fighting Plantera without too much trouble. The two go into the hardmode dungeon to collect a few items in preparation for Golem, before heading into the Jungle Temple to try and disarm the traps. However, Sylvette accidentally summons the boss (after having prior claiming the notion of such to be stupid), but it gets stuck and they defeat it with relative ease.

After some final preparations, TJ and Sylvette fight the Lunatic Cultist. The two try and make a Moon Lord arena, but get interrupted by Stardust Pillar enemies from below, so they stop. They decide to fight the Nebula and Solar pillars to get their classes' respective weapons. After beating the Nebula pillar, TJ gets one hit away from death from a Nebula fragment shot by the pillar just before it died whilst completely unaware, only surviving because it faded away before he took one more hit. They then go on to beat the Solar pillar and Stardust pillars, finishing up the Moon Lord arena, and then fighting the Nebula pillar.

The two fight the Moon Lord, and due to all of the preparations they made, defeat him, winning the hardcore with no hardmode deaths. They then have a duel to decide who gets the boss item it dropped, with TJ nearly killing Sylvette, but a lucky shot from Sylvette securing them the victory. Sylvette then builds a grave for TJ and themself, before killing themself by falling off the Moon Lord arena.
