With the latest updates forTerrariacomes a slew of new items to play with. From weapons to potions, there’s no shortage of new content to dive into. One ofthe latest items to be added toTerrariais the Golden Delight, which, when brewed and consumed, will give the player theExquisitely Stuffedbuff. This is the best food-related buff a player can get and will increase their Defense (+4), Crit Hit Chance (+4%), Melee Speed (+10%), Damage (+10%), Minion Knockback (+1), Movement Speed (+40%), and Mining Speed (+15%).

Unlike other food buffs inTerrariathat only warrant a few minutes of increased stats, theExquisitely Stuffedbuff from consuming theGolden Delightwill last a total of 48 minutes or until the player removes the buff themselves by canceling it. The issue isn’t so much crafting or consuming theGolden Delightbut rather waiting for one of the incredibly rare golden critters to appear so the item can actually be made.

How to Craft Golden Delight in Terraria

In order for players to craft the Golden Delight inTerraria, they’ll first need to catch one ofthe 13 different golden species. This includes the Golden Bird, Bunny, Butterfly, Dragonfly, Frog, Goldfish, Grasshopper, Ladybug, Mouse, Seahorse, Squirrel, Water Strider, and Worm, each of which has less than a 0.5% chance of spawning.

Luckily, these can all be detected by the Lifeform Analyzer which canbe purchased from the Traveling Merchant for 5 Gold. The Analyzer can also be crafted at the Tinkerer’s Workshop which can be purchased from the Goblin Tinkerer for 10 Gold. Additionally, players will need a Bug Net to capture each of these species (the net can be purchased from the Merchant for 25 Silver). Lastly, players will need either a Cauldron or a Cooking Pot to actually craft theGoldenDelight.

The Cauldron only appears duringTerraria’s Halloween seasonand can be purchased from the Witch Doctor for 1 Gold and 50 Silver. The Cooking Pot can be crafted with an Iron or Lead Anvil for 10 Iron (any type) and 2 Wood (any type). The Cooking Pot can also be randomly found within abandoned buildings both above and underground.

Once the player has captured one of the Golden Critters with the Bug Net, the player simply needs to stand in front of a Cooking Pot (or Cauldron if the time of year is right) and select Golden Delight. If players prefer to not have the buff, the Golden Delight can be sold for 10 Gold, making the player a decent amount of money. Based onthe rarity of the Golden Crittersthough, it might be best to save the Golden Delight and consume it at the next opportune moment to get the stat increases.

Terrariais available to play on PC, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, iOS, and Android devices.
