How do I make the Tavernkeep NPC move in Terraria?
To make the Tavernkeep NPC move into your world in Terraria, you need to meet specific conditions and follow a series of steps. The Tavernkeep is a unique NPC who sells items related to the Old One's Army event, such as sentry weapons, armor, and accessories. HereÔÇÖs a detailed guide on how to get him to move in, along with tips and strategies to make the process easier.
First, you need to understand the mechanics behind the TavernkeepÔÇÖs appearance. The Tavernkeep does not spawn naturally like most NPCs. Instead, he appears as a bound NPC after you defeat the Eater of Worlds or Brain of Cthulhu, depending on your worldÔÇÖs evil biome. Once you defeat one of these bosses, the Tavernkeep will spawn randomly in the world as a bound NPC, similar to the Bound Goblin or Bound Wizard. You must find him and free him by interacting with him, just like other bound NPCs. After freeing him, he will move into an available house in your world.
To start, you need to prepare for the boss fight that triggers the TavernkeepÔÇÖs appearance. If your world has the Corruption biome, you will need to defeat the Eater of Worlds. If your world has the Crimson biome, you will need to defeat the Brain of Cthulhu. Both bosses are early-game bosses, so you donÔÇÖt need advanced gear to defeat them. For the Eater of Worlds, you can use weapons like the Vilethorn, Blade of Grass, or any piercing weapon. For the Brain of Cthulhu, weapons like the Musket or Boomstick work well. Make sure to have decent armor, such as Gold or Platinum armor, and some healing potions.
Once you defeat the boss, the Tavernkeep will spawn somewhere in the world. He can appear in any biome, so youÔÇÖll need to explore your world to find him. Look for a bound NPC with a unique appearance, similar to a dwarf or a gnome. When you find him, interact with him to free him. After freeing him, he will require a suitable house to move into. Make sure you have an empty house ready for him. The house should meet the basic requirements for NPC housing, such as being at least 6 blocks wide and 10 blocks tall, having walls, a light source, a table, and a chair.
One common mistake players make is not having an available house ready when they free the Tavernkeep. If thereÔÇÖs no house available, he wonÔÇÖt move in, and youÔÇÖll have to wait until you build one. To avoid this, always prepare at least one empty house before defeating the boss that triggers his appearance. Another mistake is not exploring enough to find him. The Tavernkeep can spawn in any biome, so make sure to check areas you havenÔÇÖt explored yet.
Advanced techniques for finding the Tavernkeep include using items like the Hunter Potion, which highlights NPCs and enemies on the screen, making it easier to spot him. You can also use a Water Candle or Battle Potion to increase enemy spawn rates, which might help you find him faster since he spawns as a bound NPC. Additionally, if you have a Lifeform Analyzer, it will notify you when he is nearby, making the search easier.
Resource requirements for this process are minimal. You mainly need to prepare for the boss fight, which requires basic weapons, armor, and potions. For building the house, youÔÇÖll need common materials like wood, stone, and torches. If youÔÇÖre playing in Expert or Master Mode, make sure to have better gear and more potions to handle the increased difficulty of the boss fight.
Class and equipment considerations depend on your playstyle. Melee players can use swords or yoyos, ranged players can use bows or guns, and magic users can use spells like the Vilethorn or Water Bolt. Summoners might find it a bit harder early on, but they can still contribute with minions like the Imp Staff. Regardless of your class, make sure to have a good mix of offense and defense to handle the boss fight effectively.
In summary, to get the Tavernkeep to move in, defeat the Eater of Worlds or Brain of Cthulhu, explore your world to find him, free him, and provide a suitable house. Prepare for the boss fight with appropriate gear, have an empty house ready, and use items like the Hunter Potion or Lifeform Analyzer to make the search easier. Avoid common mistakes like not having a house ready or not exploring enough. With these steps, youÔÇÖll have the Tavernkeep in your world, ready to sell you useful items for the Old OneÔÇÖs Army event.
