How do I make the Nurse NPC happy in Terraria?

To make the Nurse NPC happy in Terraria, you need to understand the NPC happiness system, which was introduced in the 1.4 update. This system allows NPCs to have preferences for specific biomes and neighbors, which directly affects their happiness. A happy NPC will offer discounts on their services and, in some cases, sell unique items. For the Nurse, her happiness is influenced by her preferred biome, her preferred neighbors, and her disliked neighbors. HereÔÇÖs a detailed guide on how to make the Nurse happy.

First, letÔÇÖs talk about the NurseÔÇÖs preferences. The Nurse prefers the Hallow biome. If you place her in a house located in the Hallow, she will be happier than if she were in other biomes. Additionally, the Nurse likes certain NPCs as neighbors and dislikes others. She likes the Wizard and the Golfer as neighbors. If you place her house near these NPCs, her happiness will increase. On the other hand, she dislikes the Arms Dealer and the Dryad. If these NPCs are too close to her, her happiness will decrease.

To start, you need to prepare a suitable house for the Nurse in the Hallow biome. The Hallow is a biome that appears after you defeat the Wall of Flesh and enter Hardmode. It is characterized by its bright, colorful, and magical appearance, with pink grass, rainbow trees, and unicorns. To create a house in the Hallow, you need to gather materials like wood, stone, and glass. You can also use Hallow-themed blocks like Pearlstone or Crystal Blocks to make the house blend in with the biome. Make sure the house meets the basic requirements for NPC housing, which includes walls, a light source, a table, a chair, and a door.

Once the house is ready, assign the Nurse to it. Next, you need to place the Wizard and the Golfer nearby. The Wizard is an NPC who sells magical items and can be found in the Cavern layer after freeing him from the Underground. The Golfer is found in the Underground Desert and can be rescued by defeating enemies in that biome. Place their houses close to the NurseÔÇÖs house, but not too close, as overcrowding can reduce happiness. A good rule of thumb is to have at least 25 tiles of space between each house.

Avoid placing the Arms Dealer and the Dryad near the Nurse. The Arms Dealer is an NPC who sells guns and ammunition and can be unlocked by having a gun in your inventory. The Dryad is an NPC who sells nature-related items and can be unlocked after defeating at least one boss. If these NPCs are too close to the Nurse, her happiness will decrease. To prevent this, place their houses in a different biome or far enough away from the NurseÔÇÖs house.

There are some common mistakes to avoid when trying to make the Nurse happy. One mistake is placing her in the wrong biome. If you place her in a biome she dislikes, such as the Corruption or Crimson, her happiness will decrease. Another mistake is overcrowding. If too many NPCs are placed in a small area, their happiness will decrease. Make sure to space out the houses properly. Also, avoid placing disliked NPCs near the Nurse, as this will negatively affect her happiness.

Advanced techniques for optimizing the NurseÔÇÖs happiness include using pylons. Pylons are items that allow for fast travel between biomes and can only be used if the NPCs in that biome are happy. To get a Hallow Pylon, you need to have at least two NPCs in the Hallow who are happy. Since the Nurse likes the Wizard and the Golfer, placing these three NPCs in the Hallow can help you obtain the Hallow Pylon. This not only makes the Nurse happy but also provides a convenient way to travel to and from the Hallow.

Resource requirements for making the Nurse happy include basic building materials like wood, stone, and glass. You may also need Hallow-themed blocks if you want the house to blend in with the biome. Additionally, you need to have access to the Hallow biome, which requires defeating the Wall of Flesh and entering Hardmode. If you havenÔÇÖt reached this stage yet, youÔÇÖll need to progress through the game to unlock the Hallow.

In terms of class and equipment considerations, making the Nurse happy doesnÔÇÖt require specific classes or equipment. However, having a strong character with good gear can help you progress through the game faster and unlock the necessary biomes and NPCs. For example, defeating the Wall of Flesh requires good weapons and armor, so make sure to prepare accordingly.

In summary, to make the Nurse happy in Terraria, place her in a house in the Hallow biome, near the Wizard and the Golfer, and away from the Arms Dealer and the Dryad. Avoid common mistakes like placing her in the wrong biome or overcrowding. Use advanced techniques like pylons to optimize her happiness and make travel easier. With the right preparation and strategy, you can keep the Nurse happy and enjoy the benefits of her discounted services and unique items.
