That’s it for all of the achievements in the main version of Terraria, and thus our guide too. There are some differences in some console versions, but they vary more by the system and are generally all simpler to unlock than many of those present in the desktop version.

Terraria is an incredibly popular game that has been available on a number of systems for years now, but is most commonly played on Steam. If you haven’t already done so, you should look into it for yourself.
