A fascinating aspect of Terraria is that the game provides you with a lot of resources while at the same time testing your creativity. One such crucial item is honey. Since not many new players know how to find or use it, it will form the basis of the discussion today.
So, how can you make honey in Terraria? The only way to craft honey is by mining hive blocks, which are the essential components of Bee Hives. When you mine a block, it immediately turns to honey or spawns bees. You can always place a hive using its special wand and transport the liquid using pumps or buckets if you extract it. Alternatively, instead of crafting it, you may be lucky to find honey on the hive floors or within tiny patches in the jungle underground.
Undeniably, honey is an essential item in Terraria, and many players want to find or make it while they play. If you have concerns about crafting it, there is some good news for you. This section has an elaborate guide on how to do it.
The best and only way to make honey is by mining Hive blocks in the game. This block is usually the main component of a Bee Hive. As soon as you mine it, it converts into honey or, in other cases, drops items, or spawns bees.
You can place a hive using a special wand from your inventory. Afterward, you can transport the liquid using pumps or buckets. Alternatively, you can find honey even without creating it because it lies on the floor of Hives or in Underground Jungle within tiny patches.
Honey generally occurs naturally in Terraria, although you can create and transport it if you want. The first place to look is under Bee Hives, where it pools; otherwise, you can bump into a patch of it within blocks underground. Alternatively, you can create it when mining Hive blocks that form Bee Hives, and the result will be liquid honey. This process can also spawn a bee or drop other items.
The Hive blocks may be in your inventory such that you place one using a unique wand. Once you mine the honey, it is easy to transport it using pumps or buckets. One effective container is a honey bucket from the inventory that can also transport a single honey block. You can also create one when you left-click honey when the tub is empty, then pour it in the same process to use the contents.
Note that honey flows slower than lava, and, in turn, reduces the speed of any submerged item unless you have countering objects like Fishron Wings. Secondly, you can drown in it as you would in water, but you can use unique tools to let you walk and breathe in the liquid. On the positive, honey can grant you a regeneration buff provided that you stay in it for at least a 5/8 tile, and the pool must be of two tiles.
You can increase your regeneration and natural healing rate with this buff. Additionally, you can use the honey to create healing portions like the Honeyfin and Bottled Honey. Lastly, you can expose this liquid to water or lava to generate precious items. For instance, it mixes with water to make Honey Block essential in furniture crafting, while it makes a fishing potion when exposed to lava.
Does the Queen Bee Respawn in Terraria?
Interestingly, as a Terraria player, you will often bump into several bosses in the game. While some are imperative to beat before you get to the next level, others are only optional enemies that come with attractive benefits. One example is the Queen Bee that rewards you with exceptional items, and here is how to find her.
You can spawn a Queen Bee as long as you have the necessary tools to make a summoning item called the abeemination. For this, you will need five hives and honey blocks, a stinger, and bottled honey from the inventory. Note that this equipment will work best in the jungle underground.
Alternatively, if you don’t have all the tools to make an abeemination, you can find the Queen Bee around the hive mini-biomes underground. When you find it, you can look for larva and break it, which will spawn the Queen Bee.
The Queen Bee may be an optional enemy in Terraria but has some perks to finding her. She doesn’t relate to the plot, but she carries unique items for players to help them in subsequent missions.
For instance, she drops the Bee Keeper, Bee Gun, and Beenade, which are critical tools to summon bees when you want them to swarm enemies. The best part is that you can spawn the Queen Bee only using items from your inventory.
You can consume an abeemination composed of five honey blocks, an equal number of hive blocks, and a stinger and bottled honey. However, if you are playing 3DS, you will need to add two Obsidians and a Crispy Honey Block and place them on a Crimson altar to make the solution. Afterward, you can craft the abeemination, the Queen Bee’s spawning tool.
Another viable way to summon her is by finding the jungle hives and destroying the larva inside. However, note that the jungle may be in various places for each player since the world structure is usually random depending on the seed. If you are lucky, you can bump into it when walking around your world. Otherwise, you will first find a surface jungle biome then dig downwards to get to the underground.
The next step is to locate a hive but remember that they are always only a handful. If successful, you can go inside and find some larva, usually inside a honey wrapping, and demolish it with a tool.
The Queen Bee will then spawn immediately. If you must fight the Queen Bee, you may need Abeemination, especially when other means fail to summon her. You can use the items at any moment provided that you are in the Jungle, or else the boss will not spawn.
The screen will pop up a message alerting you that the Queen Bee is alive. Therefore, you must prepare for a fight by putting on some of your best armor since the bees emit poison that degenerates your health and makes you weaker and slower.
Generally, after consuming the Abeemination, you must keep up with the enemies that move pretty fast; hence prepare yourself with weapons that can guarantee you speed and protection against her sting.
Queen Bee or Skeletron in Terraria?
Terraria has several bosses you will frequently meet throughout the game; some may be effortless to beat while others have a strong fight. Knowing which boss you can encounter at various locations enables you to prepare adequately for combat. However, a concern among first-timers is which enemy is easier to beat between the Skeletron and the Queen Bee.
It is advisable to start with the Queen Bee if you wonder which of the two to dispatch first. However, it will be easier to face and beat Skeletron if you play Classic mode. Besides, you will need the Queen Bee’s droppings to kill the Skeletron in Expert or Master mode and destroy the Wall of Flesh.
Apart from her useful weapons, the Queen is easier to fight than the Skeletron, and the best part is that you do not have to kill her to progress in the game. On the other hand, dispatching the Skeletron is the key to accessing the Dungeon.
These two are pre-hard mode bosses, useful in their rights, and a player must summon them individually. Like Skeletron, Queen Bee does not significantly influence your progress in the game.
Fortunately, beating her will help drop useful items that you can use to fight with the dangerous Skeletron boss. Therefore, the sole reason players want to defeat her is to obtain the drops and use them on the next enemy.
Alternatively, you can avoid her if you don’t need her droppings to take down the Skeletron. To summon the Queen, you must explore the Jungle underground and find a hive with the larva inside. She will appear and hover around when you break the enclosure, looking for the intruder.
You can also consume abeemination, a more convenient way to locate her from anywhere in the Jungle. Once you are ready to attack, ensure that you have the right amour since the Bee will throw poisonous stingers at you.
Jump and dodge whenever she charges at you and use shields on your head, but always strike when you get a clear focus. When you successfully kill the Queen Bee, you can wield weapons such as the Beenades, Bee Keeper, Bee Guns, and Bee’s Knee. With these items at hand, you can now summon a bee attack on an enemy.
Remember that the Queen Bee and her minions are faster, more aggressive, and present extensive damage on enemies while on Master mode. Skeletron, on the other hand, is a necessary boss in Terraria since you must kill it to advance to the Dungeon. You cannot face a powerful boss blindly in battle; thus you need well-laid down strategies.
Failure to kill Skeletron means that you cannot proceed in the game. Also, any attempts to enter the Dungeon through the backdoor leads to ruthless resistance from the lethal Dungeon Guardians. Therefore, you must go through the Skeletron. Summon the boss at night by talking to an old man at the Dungeon’s entrance who will turn into a Skeletron while reaching for the “Curse” option.
How To Find and Use a Honey Dispenser in Terraria
If you are an avid gamer of Terraria or any other sandbox game, you will notice that these titles usually rely on a player’s creativity to build items and use them to survive. You will also need a secure base to retreat to when you have been battling all day. The honey dispenser will be quite handy if you love decorating and are keen on aesthetics.
Unlike most items in Terraria, the honey dispenser is not craftable, meaning that you can only find or buy it. You can locate one inside Ivy Chest that usually spawns in the jungle biomes underground. You have a 25% probability of finding the dispenser whenever you open the chest.
Alternatively, you can also buy it from Steampunker, an NPC you access when you kill a mechanical boss. It is worth ten gold coins, and many players find this method more convenient than finding the dispenser in the jungle.
Not many gamers know this, but Terraria offers players a chance to make an aesthetic adjustment on their bases. After beating bosses all day, you can rest easy in your space and even include decorations.
If you are a fan of honey and love how great it looks in the game, you will be glad to know that you can incorporate it into your furniture too. Contrary to what the name suggests, you can use a dispenser to craft honey-themed items in your base.
Interestingly, the Honey Dispenser refers to a unique item in Terraria for crafting, which deploys Honey Blocks to enable the gamer to use certain recipes when making honey-themed items. You will need to use other components for all these and develop the perfect decorations. Unfortunately, the dispenser is not a craftable item; therefore, you must find it in a specific place within the game.
The best place to look is the Ivy Chests underground. These treasures will show up in Mahogany trees and shrines, and it is advisable to always look out for them. There is generally a 25% chance that you will find the dispenser among the other items in the chest, and the probability increases the more loot you find. Alternatively, other players find it easier to buy from Steampunker with only ten gold coins.
Lastly
Honey is one of the most underrated items in Terraria. It is handy when decorating your space to honey-themed furniture using a dispenser. Luckily, you only need to extract it from a hive block. Alternatively, you may also find the liquid in a pool under hives or on underground patches.
You will likely bump into the Queen Bee in the process of finding it, and it is best to know how to beat it and obtain the items that she drops. You will need to craft the abeemination if you want to spawn her, then use the unique dropped objects to fight other bosses.
