Turtle Boulder has made new friends for April Fools 2025! Enjoy all the silly additions!

just my lil' idea

... boulder staff (from killing golem) fires self harming turtle boulders

You've my interest, I'm excited for what the future holds.

@Madalovin, Turtle Boulders are supposed to replace every boulder in the Jungle. However 'in the Jungle' is determined by checking how many Mud/Jungle Grass blocks are nearby, so sometimes the logic fails depending on what's around the boulder. Dead Man's Chests always spawn normal Boulders due to when/how they generate.
That said, I guess one could theoretically replace ALL the boulders instead of just the ones in the Jungle...

...April 2025 isn't too far out now... ;)

I second Certified Crackhead 's suggestion at adding a Turtle Boulder statue.

Also, may you add a config to change the amount of normal boulders being replaced? I'd very much like it to be 100% for funny times. :)

God please be mercyful!

Hellspawn!

Knuckles says: "Oh no"

Hahahahhahaaa you have unleashed the beast

uh oh

turtle boulder but...when it hits anything it splits into 2 turtles

also why not have a honey boulder that doesnt kill but just slows you down alot

hm what about just a turtle boulder statue?

Yeah that was one of the additions to FTW in 1.4.4.
(Actually according to the wiki it's 2-4 mini boulders, not always 3)

Boulder fountain uhm uh...probably same case for that game crasher thing

wait they already do?

I mean, boulders already split into 3 smaller boulders in FTW. And yea, if they infinitely split you'd probably just over-load the game due to the exponential amount of splitting boulders.

just call it Game Crasher cause i think we both know that would happen

yea but it would be fun...or maybe just a boulder that will literally just break into 2 more boulders...then 2 more boulders...and so on and so on...would make perfect for minigames?

Wouldn't that just be the upcoming "Boulder Rain" from 1.4.5? (+explosions, that is)

airstrike boulder the name is self explanatory...

lava boulder

lava boulder

...actually, I'm not sure how I'd make a projectile spawn liquids. hmm. Vanilla has liquid rockets tho, so it's not impossible

wait...why not one that will spread lava on impact with anything... :)

Terraria Blue Shell will be April Fools 2025 sequel
or maybe earlier if I'm feeling chaotic, since a year is along time to wait for blue shell

homing turtle shell missle when?

lmao haha

I guess turtle shells look like poop too, then lol. Because the boulder sprite is literally just the original turtle shell sprite extended into a circular shape.

The Boulder, It looks like a cow dung lol.

Hey. Speaking of combining things with Turtle Shells. I could suggest a food item cooking mod using all the monster parts as ingredients. I'd love to have turtle/tortoise soup as a revenge dish best served with killed turtles/tortoises or just combine it with the vanilla game's soup. We already have monster lasagna but I crave more culinary power in my playthroughs and the taste for the beasts of the world. Maybe I've been inspired too much by Delicious in Dungeon lately.

@Pyro.duck.soul, that sounds delightfully devilish lmao. That oughta be the sequel for April Fools 2025 or smth.
Coincidentally, I actually came up with this idea while spriting a blue, mario-style turtle shell for my WIP Paper Mario themed add-on for Artificer's Accessories. We've come full circle I guess.

You should make an upgraded version of this called Spiked Shell basically just a spiky blue shell from mario but terraria

love that this is tagged as quality of life

I will absolutely use this.

oh no

:skull:

You should make a buffed version of the explosion trap too
