Q: What versions does this work on?
A: All 1.4 versions, as of writing. (1.4.4.9 and below). This includes TModloader.
Q: What is Transmutation?
A: Transmutation is a set of glitches discovered back in 2022 which fundamentally break Terraria. With Transmutation, any item in the game can be obtained (Including many unobtainable items!). Terraria has also been beaten in under 7 minutes using Transmutation.
Q: What is the Campfire Glitch? (CGO)
A: CGO, or Campfire Glitch Offsetting, is a powerful glitch that allows for arbitrary sprite manipulation in Terraria. Similar to Philosopher's Stone (aka the Bast Statue glitch), CGO can be used to obtain any item in the game. CGO also has a variety of other unique uses such as creating tunnel bores, infinite demon altars, and infinite boss summons.

"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magick."

Terraria Veterans on their way to break the entire game after transmutation is patched
-
The devs can’t even be mad that people figured this out it’s pure insanity that anyone somehow stumbled onto this and realized it is all connected.
-
I love how the language around a glitch makes it feel like an actual magic system that you can actually learn and study
-
it's still so incredible to me that this one guy just randomly discovered the most insane glitch imaginable after like a decade of the game being out and still has less than 20k subscribers
-
Been a wild ride to see the birth of transmutation literally first hand, and then this. Amazing.
-
i had a glitch back on the ps3 terraria where i had a bunny statue placed next to a door and a molten hamaxe, i somehow broke the door and the bunny statue at the same time and i never got bunny statue nor the door but when i swung the hamaxe it would spawn a bunny no matter when or where i swung, it was absolutely crazy and one of my greatest memories in terraria

“Here at Aperture Science we don’t use just any magic. We use science. Aperture science! We are proud to announce a new invention: the philosophers stone! It allows you to get any item* you want!” “* item must be from terraria”

steve: Ive built a working 4 kilobyte computer, fear me. Terrarian: tears apart the fabric of reality
-
There's no way this ISN'T getting patched. That said, stock up for the winter, guys, get them 100% Journey characters!
-
If only Edward and Alphonse Elric saw this video, they would've had a much easier time finding the philosopher's stone and transmuting their mother back to life
-
First, we had Block Transmutation in Minecraft, and now we have this in Terraria. Incredible.
-
The introduction is where you realize how much of a spaghetticode nightmare this game is. That's an odd and inefficient way of coding. Yet the game still runs beautifully.
-
just learnt this from all of the other videos, but having a comprehensive guide is really nice aswell!
-
One thing is that glitches exists.. but how the hell someone discovered this one.. and finally.. How someone manage to explain how it actualy works in nutshell like you are watching tv channel about universe.. thats really impressive.
-
I now perfectly understand an assortment of glitches for a game I've never even beaten. Extremely informative video.
-
Ever since watching Bismuth and Pannenkoek I’ve always had a fascination with glitches in games, and it’s quite wonderful to have something similar with Terraria as well - there’s something special about pushing games beyond the developers intentions, elevated by your stellar explanations ^^
-
How did you get so good at explaining things?
-
I like how minecraft players need complex planning and expolts to get mass amounts of items. Meanwhile terraria players just yell “its wizard time” then get anything in 20 seconds.
-
I'd love to see an "all items researched" journey mode playthrough/speedrun using transmutation
