Can You Get Golden Fishing Rod Before Hardmode?

The Golden Fishing Rod is a powerful tool in Terraria that allows players to catch fish and other aquatic items from the water. It has the highest fishing power of any rod in the game, and is an incredibly useful tool for anyone looking to get into fishing. But can you get the Golden Fishing Rod before Hardmode?

The answer is yes, you can get the Golden Fishing Rod before Hardmode. However, it requires a bit of effort.

The first step is to collect 30 Souls of Night from enemies in the Corruption biome, then these Souls must be taken to a Demon Altar or Crimson Altar and crafted into Worm Food. Once this is done, the Worm Food must be used on a body of water containing at least one Truffle Worm. Doing this will cause a Duke Fishron boss fight to begin which, if beaten, will drop either a Reaver Shark or a Golden Fishing Rod.

In order to prepare for this fight it is important to have plenty of health and defense boosts such as food items and armor. Additionally, any weapons with high knockback are recommended as they will make it easier to keep Duke Fishron away from the player while they attack him with ranged weapons. Lastly, it might also be wise to bring along any healing potions just in case things don’t go as planned during the battle.

Once all preparations are made and Duke Fishron has been defeated the player will receive either a Reaver Shark or Golden Fishing Rod as their reward for their hard work. If luck smiles upon them then they’ll receive the much sought after Golden Fishing Rod – ready for them to take out onto the open waters and begin their new life as an angler!

Conclusion:

So there you have it – with some preparation and hard work you can get your hands on a Golden Fishing Rod before Hardmode begins! Whether you’re an experienced angler or just starting out on your fishing journey, having this powerful tool will make your life much easier when it comes to catching those elusive fish!
