There are tons of different items and resources in "Terraria" that have different uses and benefits, including the highly sought-after Shimmer.
This particular item was introduced to the game with the release of the 1.4.4 update, and it has many different uses. Shimmer can transform items and enemies, break down crafted items into their components, and many more.
This makes it one of the most popular items in "Terraria" that players will undoubtedly be looking for. This guide helps players learn how to get their hands on this highly valuable liquid and some tips on how to use it.
How To Get Shimmer
There are two primary ways of getting Shimmer in "Terraria," with the first being to visit the game's Aether biome. You can find this biome in the Cavern layer on the side of the world with the Jungle.
The second way to get Shimmer is to combine a Bottomless Water Bucket with 10 Luminite Bars at an Ancient Manipulator. If you need a Bottomless Shimmer Bucket, you can earn one by completing fishing quests for the Angler in Hardmode, according to Game Rant.
On the other hand, Luminite can be acquired by defeating the game's Moon Lord boss. While it is more challenging to do the second method, having a portable supply of Shimmer is very useful during your adventures.
Other Things To Remember
Another thing to keep in mind about Shimmer is that it can also be pumped, which is a process similar to pumping any other liquid. What you would need are an inlet and an outlet pump that are linked to each other, The Gamer said.
When you have both of these items ready, you will be able to create a new body of Shimmer where you want.
How To Use Shimmer
Now that you have some Shimmer with you, you can finally start to take advantage of its various uses. One of these uses is that when items are exposed to Shimmer, it will either upgrade or downgrade certain items.
On the other hand, when you use Shimmer on creatures, they will turn into shimmery versions of themselves, and enemies will temporarily become invisible. The majority of creatures will transform into Faelings, and gem critters will turn into gems.
However, you should also note that Shimmer does not affect certain creatures, such as Gold Worm, Gem Squirrel, Slime Bunny, Party Bunny, Christmas Bunny, or Gem Bunny, according to Alphr.
