Non-player characters are an integral part of almost every computer game. In games, there is a main character (or main characters) that you control, as well as your opponents whom you seek to destroy. But you can also meet characters who are not your opponents, but whom you cannot control at the same time. This is exactly what non-player characters are also called NPCs or NPCs for short.
This article will discuss such characters of one particular game. In the Terraria project, NPS play a very important role, since without them it will be much more difficult for you to cope with all the problems that the game world is preparing for you. Here, non-game characters have several dozen types.
This article will focus only on the most important and popular NPCs. Terraria has its own rules regarding NPCs, such as, for example, having an empty house in which the NPC could settle. Otherwise, you will not be able to use his services, which means that a non-player character will be useless to you. Now you will find out why you should enlist the support of the NPC in this game.
Guide
In the Terraria game, NPCs can be very diverse, but the first non-player character you will meet in this world will be the Guide. As you can understand by his name, he will help you learn the game, so you should make sure that he has a house as soon as possible. To do this, you need to have an empty room in your own house - he immediately occupies it.
After that, you will be able to turn to him for game tips that will be given to you randomly, as well as for recipes for making those things that you still don’t know how to create. He will also help you defend your home by attacking enemies with bow arrows. He may die, but at dawn he comes again, so you can not worry about his health. However, this is far from the only NPS available to you. Terraria has prepared for you and other amazing characters.
Dealer
As you can see, the resettlement of NPCs in Terraria is a very important aspect, because you will not be able to receive support from the Guide if he does not have his own room in your house. However, this is far from being as critical as in the case of some other characters, such as, for example, the Merchant. He also requires his own house or room, however, he does not appear at the beginning of the game. When will you be able to see this NPC for the first time? It turns out that he appears on the map when the player accumulates fifty silver coins.
Once you reach this mark, you can find a Merchant, build a house for him and begin to sell him unnecessary items, buy from him the necessary ones, and also receive money if necessary. Please note that the house for non-player characters does not even have to have full walls, these can be blocks that the player will overcome without problems, so you can very easily and conveniently interact with the NPCs in Terraria. NPCs will bring you a lot of benefits, so do not neglect their services.
Weapons seller
As you already noticed, in Terraria, residents appear under certain conditions, so now you must understand that the Weapon Seller also does not appear on the map just like that. What conditions must be met in order to gain access to it? Firstly, he cannot come earlier than the Merchant, so the Merchant should already be on the map. Secondly, you must have at least one firearm in your inventory that you yourself made. It is then that you can build a home for the arms seller and start interacting with him.
You will be able to buy cartridges, arrows, firearms from him, and at night you can even find illegal parts of weapons from him. It is also worth noting that it is much more dangerous in battle. The Merchant attacks the enemy with throwing knives, while the Weapon Seller fires a silicon pistol.
Dryad
Many people think that to get access to the Dryad you need a special mod on the NPC. Terraria is not a game in which modifications are official, so if you think the same way, then you are mistaken. The dryad appears on the map when you kill your first boss. Please note that mini-bosses do not count in this case, so do not immediately get upset that you did not get what you wanted when you killed the mini-boss.
What does Dryad do, and why is it so popular among players? This non-player character creates a shield around the player, which protects him, the Dryad and other NPCs nearby, from the damage of the enemy. More specifically, this shield increases the defense by eight points.
Nurse
The number of non-player characters is growing, and you are already starting to dream of an endless house for the NPC. "Terraria" will not provide you with such an opportunity (naturally, if you do not use cheats). But you can just build a house for a couple of dozen rooms, and then you will not have problems with the fact that new NPS do not appear. Especially when it comes to the Nurse, who is one of the most useful non-player characters. The fact is that she can heal your group, that is, the player, herself and other non-player characters, if one of them takes damage in battle. If you want a Nurse to join you, you need to find and use the first crystal heart.
Demoman
Another extremely useful non-player character is Demoman. It will appear on the map when something explosive first appears in your inventory, namely dynamite, grenades or bombs. When you provide him with a living room, you can communicate with him, and most importantly, trade with him. He sells everything that was said above, that is, all kinds of explosives. Moreover, it can also be useful in battle, because it throws grenades very effective against crowds of monsters.
Old Man / Tailor
This is one of the most interesting NPCs on this list, because you can only get it in an extremely unusual way. In the guise of an Old Man, you can see him at the entrance to the dungeon, where he will not let you in during the day. He himself will tell you his story that a curse was imposed on him. If you come to dungeon at night, the Old Man will notify you that the battle with Skeleton is approaching.
If you defeat this boss, you can access dungeon treasures and new territories for research. In addition, you will remove the curse from the Old Man, and he will appear in front of you in the guise of Portnoy, having settled in the free room prepared for him. You can buy the most diverse stylish and beautiful clothes from him. It is also worth noting that if you want to re-engage with Skeleton, you will have to kill Tailor. Unfortunately, he will not return in the morning as a Guide, so you should think carefully before you decide on such a step.
