Sisyphus' Hardship (Classic) Customized & Enhanced Starter World

Description
Better world preview album: ( https://imgur.com/gallery/LzxIZS2 )

This is "Sisyphus' Hardship", the Classic version of Sisyphus' Boulder:
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2440489387

It's a starter world; carefully hand-crafted with lots of new features (both beneficial and challenging) yet untouched by a Terrarian.
(No bosses defeated, and you start with just the Guide and the Party Girl, like in the special anniversary world seed that this map tricks Terraria into using: https://terraria.fandom.com/wiki/Secret_world_seeds#Drunk_world )

Terrain Features:
- A Large sized Journey mode world with both Corruption and Crimson
- Pre-hardmode Hallow biome lined up where the Hallow will spawn upon entering Hardmode
- Customized terrain, each biome getting its own structure to explore and general beautification
- Traditional ores to the left, and alternate ores to the right (except lead, I don't like it in my worlds haha)
- A handcrafted Desert Pyramid dungeon to the left, with a *lot* more in store than just Pharaoh's Robes!
- Tri-color Dungeon to the right, with each type of background wall
- Snow, Desert, Mushroom, & Bouncy Castle floating islands, as well as more floating islands than usual
- Spider hell (don't ask)
- Some kickass pirate ships, at various levels of sinkage
- A handcrafted Underground Ocean biome to the left, a coral reef brimming with sunken treasure!
- A deep-sea lab within the depths of the Underground Ocean, researching strange saltwater fungus...
- Lots of good fishing spots (build your own shack tho)

Starter Features:
- A variety of class starter kits (Melee, Ranged, Magic, & Summoning)
- A world tree to make into your own home
- A prebuilt fix-er-upper arena to fight bosses & the Old One's Army
- A ready-made underworld bridge to the left for fighting the Wall of Flesh (and a cage to sacrifice the Guide from!)
- A spot for each biome pylon
- A spot for each boss trophy/relic
- A *huge* minecart track in the Caverns layer

Exploration Features:
- 7 Monuments scattered across each biome, each unlockable with a Temple Key (finally get some use out of your spares, eh?) containing powerful rewards... if you can find them!
- Burial sites throughout the world to discover
- A special way to fight both the Brain of Cthulu and Eater of Worlds at the same time!
- Countless other minor tweaks & improvements
- Many secrets to find (and traps to outwit!)

I hope you have as much fun playing it as I've had compiling it! :D

Just what I was looking for in a Terraria starting world, to lazy to make structures myself, would be cooler if there just left in the world for me to explore and discover lol

jordan_1 - The evil biomes are contained sufficiently for pre-hardmode spread, but not for hardmode biome spread.

Are the evil biomes contained?

Awesome! Thanks for the help!

Hummuscide - there are two caves directly to the left and right of the tree you spawn in; each cave contains 2 of the class kits

@Digganob Oh ok. Thanks! I thought they'd just be at the start somewhere.
Digganob 2 Jun, 2021 @ 9:46pm 
@Hummuscide They're just, around. Spread all across the world, usually some distance into a cave or dungeon.

Where are the starter class kits? Am I just blind and completely missing them?
Digganob 16 May, 2021 @ 3:20pm 
Oh, I managed to miss that! Sorry, thanks for the map!

I see that it does make for an interesting challenge sometimes.

Though, sometimes it gets frustrating enough I want to just use loads of dynamite lol. Used it for the first spider statue in particular. Just couldn't get past the stream of spiders.

Also, sometimes a zombie will spawn and keep me from trying to be careful about traversing the dungeon. I don't know if it's something you can just "fix" but it's something to keep in mind, I suppose.
