How do I make the Clothier NPC move in Terraria?
To make the Clothier NPC move into your world in Terraria, you need to meet specific conditions and follow a series of steps. The Clothier is a unique NPC who sells vanity items, such as costumes and dyes, and becomes available after defeating a particular boss. HereÔÇÖs a detailed guide on how to make the Clothier move in, covering mechanics, strategies, tips, and more.
First, you need to understand the mechanics behind the ClothierÔÇÖs arrival. The Clothier is tied to the defeat of Skeletron, a boss found in the Dungeon. Skeletron is a pre-Hardmode boss, meaning you can summon and defeat him before entering Hardmode. Once Skeletron is defeated, the Clothier will spawn as a ghost in the Dungeon. You must then defeat this ghost to free the Clothier, allowing him to move into an available house in your world.
To begin, you need to prepare for the Skeletron fight. Skeletron is a challenging boss, so you should have decent gear and accessories. A good set of armor, such as Platinum or Gold, is recommended, along with weapons like the Minishark, Molten Fury, or a strong melee weapon like the Blade of Grass. Accessories like Hermes Boots, Cloud in a Bottle, and Shackles can help with mobility and defense. Make sure to have healing potions, such as Lesser Healing Potions or better, and consider building an arena near the Dungeon entrance with platforms and campfires for regeneration.
To summon Skeletron, talk to the Old Man NPC at the Dungeon entrance at night. He will offer the option to summon Skeletron. Once you accept, the Old Man will transform into Skeletron, and the battle will begin. Focus on dodging his attacks, especially his spinning head and hands, while dealing consistent damage. After defeating Skeletron, the Dungeon will become accessible, and you can explore it for loot.
Once Skeletron is defeated, the ClothierÔÇÖs ghost will appear in the Dungeon. This ghost is a hostile enemy, so you must defeat it to free the Clothier. The ghost is not particularly difficult, but it can be annoying if youÔÇÖre not prepared. Use ranged or melee weapons to take it down quickly. After defeating the ghost, the Clothier will be freed and will move into an available house in your world.
To ensure the Clothier moves in, you need to have a suitable house ready. A house must meet specific requirements, including walls, a light source, a table, a chair, and a door. The house must also be in a valid biome, such as the Forest or any other biome where NPCs can live. If you donÔÇÖt have a house ready, the Clothier will not move in, so make sure to prepare one beforehand.
There are some common mistakes to avoid when trying to make the Clothier move in. One mistake is not having a suitable house ready. If you defeat Skeletron and the ghost but donÔÇÖt have a house, the Clothier will not move in. Another mistake is not defeating the ghost. Some players might think defeating Skeletron is enough, but you must also defeat the ghost to free the Clothier. Additionally, make sure to talk to the Old Man at night to summon Skeletron, as he will not appear during the day.
Advanced techniques include optimizing your NPC housing for happiness. The Clothier prefers the Underground biome and likes to live near the Tavernkeep or the Mechanic. Placing him in his preferred biome and near his liked NPCs will increase his happiness, leading to discounts on his items. You can also use pylons to create a network of teleportation points, making it easier to access the Clothier and other NPCs.
Resource requirements for this process include materials for building a house, such as wood, stone, and torches. YouÔÇÖll also need weapons, armor, and accessories for the Skeletron fight, as well as healing potions. If youÔÇÖre playing in Hardmode, you might have access to better gear, but Skeletron is a pre-Hardmode boss, so pre-Hardmode gear is sufficient.
In terms of class and equipment considerations, any class can defeat Skeletron, but ranged and melee classes tend to have an easier time due to their consistent damage output. Mages and summoners can also succeed but may need to be more careful with positioning and dodging. Make sure to use weapons and accessories that suit your chosen class.
A specific example scenario would be a player who has just entered the Dungeon for the first time. They talk to the Old Man at night, summon Skeletron, and defeat him using a Minishark and Molten Fury. After the fight, they explore the Dungeon and encounter the ClothierÔÇÖs ghost, which they defeat with a Blade of Grass. They return to their base, where they have a pre-built house in the Forest biome, and the Clothier moves in the next day.
In summary, making the Clothier move in requires defeating Skeletron, freeing the ClothierÔÇÖs ghost, and having a suitable house ready. Prepare for the Skeletron fight with good gear and healing items, and ensure your housing meets NPC requirements. Avoid common mistakes like not having a house or forgetting to defeat the ghost. Optimize your NPC placement for happiness, and use class-appropriate gear for the fight. With these steps, youÔÇÖll have the Clothier in your world, ready to sell you vanity items and dyes.
