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 the Tavernkeep 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 is not like most NPCs who move in after you meet certain criteria, such as having a suitable house. Instead, he spawns as a bound NPC in the world after you defeat the Eater of Worlds or Brain of Cthulhu for the first time. Once you find him, you can free him, and he will move into an available house in your world.
To start, you need to progress far enough in the game to defeat either the Eater of Worlds in Corruption worlds or the Brain of Cthulhu in Crimson worlds. These bosses are early-game challenges, so you should prepare accordingly. For the Eater of Worlds, you can summon it by breaking Shadow Orbs in the Corruption biome using a hammer or explosives. For the Brain of Cthulhu, you need to destroy Crimson Hearts in the Crimson biome. Both bosses drop materials essential for crafting better gear, so defeating them is a key part of progression.
Once you defeat one of these bosses, the Tavernkeep will spawn somewhere in your world as a bound NPC. He looks like a small, tied-up character with a unique sprite. You need to search your world to find him. He can spawn in any biome, but he is more likely to appear in areas you have explored. ItÔÇÖs a good idea to have a well-lit and explored world to make finding him easier. Use a Hunter Potion to highlight NPCs, making him easier to spot.
When you find the Tavernkeep, interact with him to free him. After freeing him, he will move into an available house in your world. Make sure you have a suitable house ready for him. A house requires walls, a light source, a table, a chair, and a door or other entrance. The house must also be in a valid location, meaning it cannot be too close to Corruption, Crimson, or Hallow biomes. If you donÔÇÖt have a house ready, the Tavernkeep will not move in, so prepare one in advance.
Here are some important tips and considerations. First, the TavernkeepÔÇÖs spawn is not guaranteed immediately after defeating the boss. You may need to explore your world thoroughly to find him. Second, if you are playing in a multiplayer world, coordinate with your teammates to search different areas. Third, if you are having trouble finding him, consider using a Lifeform Analyzer, which can detect nearby NPCs, including the Tavernkeep.
Common mistakes to avoid include not having a suitable house ready, which can delay the TavernkeepÔÇÖs arrival. Another mistake is not exploring enough of your world, which can make finding him more difficult. Additionally, avoid building houses in areas that are too close to Corruption or Crimson, as this can invalidate the housing.
For advanced techniques, consider using a GPS or similar item to track your exploration progress. This can help you identify unexplored areas where the Tavernkeep might be hiding. You can also use a Magic Lantern or other light sources to illuminate dark areas, making it easier to spot him.
Resource requirements and preparation are minimal. You need basic materials like wood, torches, and stone to build a house. For combat, prepare weapons and armor suitable for fighting the Eater of Worlds or Brain of Cthulhu. Weapons like the Vilethorn or Ball OÔÇÖ Hurt are effective against these bosses.
Class and equipment considerations depend on your playstyle. Melee characters should focus on high defense and weapons like swords or flails. Ranged characters can use bows or guns with appropriate ammunition. Magic users should prepare mana potions and spells like the Water Bolt. Summoners can use minions to assist in combat.
In specific scenarios, if you are playing in a Corruption world, focus on breaking Shadow Orbs to summon the Eater of Worlds. In Crimson worlds, destroy Crimson Hearts to summon the Brain of Cthulhu. Both bosses drop useful materials, so defeating them is beneficial beyond just spawning the Tavernkeep.
In summary, to make the Tavernkeep move in, defeat the Eater of Worlds or Brain of Cthulhu, search your world for the bound Tavernkeep, free him, and ensure you have a suitable house ready. With proper preparation and exploration, you can easily add the Tavernkeep to your town and access his unique items.
