I’m planning to dive into Terraria soon, but I’m not sure about a couple of things. First, would you recommend playing it on mobile or is console the way to go? Since I’m on a budget, I can’t get a PC right now. Second, what are some essential tips I should know as a complete beginner? I’ve really only gotten through the tutorial, so I could use some guidance! Thanks for any help you can offer!

Console is the way to go! Make sure to do the tutorial and definitely talk to the Guide NPC. He’s super helpful!
While PC is great, you’ll have a blast on either console or mobile. I started on the Switch and put in over 2400 hours once I switched to PC. I suggest sticking with the console for a bigger screen experience; it makes a difference! And remember to keep the Guide alive; he offers great tips to move forward in the game.
The Guide will live in the first house you make, so just make sure it’s suitable for NPCs!
If you haven’t checked it out yet, here’s the official Wiki for more tips and guides: https://terraria.wiki.gg. It’s an invaluable resource for beginners!
I’d definitely recommend going with console. If you can, have a wiki handy while you play. Some folks think that’s cheating, but with how much there is to know in Terraria, it really helps. Just don’t follow a walkthrough too strictly; you want to enjoy the game!
Thanks for the heads up! I didn’t know he could die. Will he stay in the first house I build, or does he wander off?
