Grinding for Treasure

I'm sure there's easier ways to do this ... . So, after I wrote of it ... I then went on to grind for a Life Drain. Then a Solar Eclipse happened ... and at some point thought that it might be easier to go to the Jungle and farm for Solar Tablet fragments ... to get Solar Eclipse loot. I mean, I haven't SERIOUSLY tried the mech Bosses yet, but for shits and giggles ... and I'm starting to think that there's no way around some cheese. To ... get started here.

Several Solar Eclipses happened - and at some point I stopped using the weapons I had stashed away to "sell later" or whatever (Solar Eclipse loot) and went in there with my "legit" stuff only ... and yea. I even got a Mothron Kill. Which is maybe due to ... uh ... my time spent in the shithole.


I mean ... the pit is deep enough so that monsters can't spawn at the bottom. So, they usually come from the left, right and the top. But there's no safe spot here - except for that little ledge on top. But even so. I mean ... Archers can't get there ... usually. But sometimes it's the NBA up in there - and I don't know who's farming whom. So, I cleaned this place ... at least the top ... from any Tombstones before starting. Like ... a few times. And ... farming Crimson Mimics here ... Well. First You have to survive that long. And it doesn't take long until statues start showing up. And then You have to like ... dodge it ... in that space ... which sooner or later is getting flooded by these Piss Monsters because somehow they're not THAT easy to pop. They always need a little extra I feel. And then the same is true for Crimson Mimics. So ... once they start moving and the room isn't already filled with ... uhm.

So, the platform accross is non-solid. And a quirk here is that once I move off the non-solid part (beige) ... some of the mobs will fall through the platform. Which is unintentional ... but when it happens it happens. The smaller red platform however is solid. So, if You're under there, there's no way out but left or right - and when You're on top You're exposed to whatever is lurking on top. To say "off-screen Piss Snipers".

Those coming from the right aren't the issue - and those that come directly come from above can be avoided by not standing there ... but, I don't know. They're like there ... waiting for the perfect moment.

And ... to maintain the emotional fortitude to actually keep doing this, there's a workbench with a piggy bank ... just so to have an easy way to secure the loot and get the upper hand in this pissing contest.


I at some point almost got a Crimson Mimic Kill. It was just a smidge ... . That was after a Goblin Invasion happened and I got some shadowflame knives. But the Ice Sickle also still does some work. Great against Vampires and Mothrons, even ... what they called ... Deadly Sphere/Death Orb ... whatever ... . At least when wearing Frost Armor.

Also, as for the topic of Marrow ... I got two more now ... so, that's in the bank.
I also got a Beam Sword ... which I dumped Five Platinum into as for comparison with the Ice Sickle and at the end of my cash was left with a "Keen" one. Well, talking about time and toilets.
Hmm ... at some point I was carrying a Water Candle down there. Just for shits and giggles. Some Guardian Angel must have prevented me from actually placing it ... .

I don't know. Maybe I'll get there one day.

I should probably rename it. THIS is the Crimson Shithole. The Crimson Toilet is one way to get there. The Other one ... uh ... is via "Hellevator 2" I guess, or 1B I suppose.

:P
