How do I make the Truffle NPC move in Terraria?
To make the Truffle NPC move into your world in Terraria, you need to meet specific conditions related to the environment and progression. The Truffle is a unique NPC who sells mushroom-themed items, including the Autohammer, which is essential for crafting Shroomite armor. HereÔÇÖs a detailed guide on how to make the Truffle move in, covering mechanics, strategies, tips, and more.
First, the Truffle requires a house in a Glowing Mushroom biome. This biome is not naturally occurring in most worlds, so youÔÇÖll need to create one. To do this, you need to gather Mushroom Grass Seeds, which can be obtained by breaking glowing mushrooms found in underground mushroom biomes. Once you have the seeds, you need to plant them on mud blocks. Over time, the mud blocks will transform into mushroom grass, and the area will start to resemble a Glowing Mushroom biome. The biome must be above the surface level, meaning it should be in the Forest layer or higher, not underground. The background and music will change to indicate the biome has been successfully created.
Next, you need to build a suitable house for the Truffle. The house must meet the standard NPC housing requirements, which include walls, a chair, a table, a light source, and a door or platform entrance. The house must also be entirely within the Glowing Mushroom biome. You can check if the house is valid by using the Housing Query tool, which is available in the inventory menu. If the house is valid, the Truffle will move in as long as there is an available housing slot.
One important consideration is that the Truffle will only move in if you are in Hardmode. Hardmode is unlocked by defeating the Wall of Flesh, which is a boss found in the Underworld. Once Hardmode is activated, the world undergoes significant changes, including the spread of Corruption, Crimson, and Hallow. These changes also make the Truffle available as an NPC. If you try to create a Glowing Mushroom biome and house before Hardmode, the Truffle will not move in.
A common mistake players make is placing the Glowing Mushroom biome too close to other biomes, such as the Corruption or Crimson. These biomes can override the Glowing Mushroom biome, making it invalid for the Truffle. To avoid this, ensure your Glowing Mushroom biome is isolated or protected by a buffer zone of neutral blocks like stone or wood. Another mistake is building the house underground. The Truffle requires a surface-level Glowing Mushroom biome, so double-check the elevation of your build.
For advanced techniques, you can optimize the TruffleÔÇÖs happiness by placing him near NPCs he likes. The Truffle prefers the Guide and the Princess as neighbors, and he likes living in the Glowing Mushroom biome. Keeping him happy will reduce the prices of his items and may unlock additional dialogue. You can also create multiple Glowing Mushroom biomes in different areas of your world to ensure the Truffle has a backup home if his current one becomes invalid.
Resource requirements for this process include mud blocks, Mushroom Grass Seeds, and building materials like wood, stone, or any other blocks for the house. YouÔÇÖll also need a pickaxe or drill to gather mud blocks, which are found in the Jungle biome. If youÔÇÖre in Hardmode, you may want to prepare for potential threats like Hardmode enemies, so having good armor and weapons is advisable. Shroomite armor, which the Truffle helps you craft, is particularly useful for ranged class players.
In terms of class and equipment considerations, the Truffle is most relevant to players using ranged weapons, as he sells the Autohammer, which is used to craft Shroomite armor. This armor set boosts ranged damage and provides unique stealth abilities. If youÔÇÖre focusing on a ranged build, prioritize getting the Truffle to move in as soon as possible after entering Hardmode.
A specific example scenario would be a player who has just defeated the Wall of Flesh and entered Hardmode. They gather mud blocks from the Jungle and Mushroom Grass Seeds from an underground Glowing Mushroom biome. They create a surface-level Glowing Mushroom biome near their base, ensuring itÔÇÖs far from Corruption or Crimson. They build a house within the biome and verify its validity using the Housing Query tool. Once everything is set, the Truffle moves in, and the player can purchase the Autohammer to start crafting Shroomite armor.
In summary, making the Truffle move in requires creating a surface-level Glowing Mushroom biome, building a valid house within it, and ensuring youÔÇÖre in Hardmode. Avoid common mistakes like placing the biome too close to Corruption or building underground. Optimize the TruffleÔÇÖs happiness by placing him near preferred neighbors, and prepare resources like mud blocks and Mushroom Grass Seeds. The Truffle is especially valuable for ranged class players due to the Shroomite armor he helps unlock. By following these steps, you can successfully bring the Truffle into your world and take advantage of his unique offerings.
