Summary
Terrariawill introduce a major change to Life Fruit in Patch 1.4.5, as it will now also serve as an ingredient for a new type of healing potion. WhileTerrariahas seen over a decade of support from its hardworking developers, the team at Re-Logic continues to add new content to its labor of love. Journey’s End was supposed to be the final update forTerraria, and in many ways, it represents a culmination of how much the sandbox has evolved since its launch in 2011. The game has since seen four major updates, and Patch 1.4.5 is set to be no different.
Patch 1.4.5 forTerrariawill feature a crossover withDead Cells, in addition to including all the items and changes left out from Patch 1.4.4. Much like the other updates after Journey’s End, Patch 1.4.5 was designed with a small scope in mind, before snowballing during development. It will add a World Seed menu, three new furniture sets, eight new whips, and a plethora of quality-of-life items such as the Axearang.
However, in therecent State of the Game for October 2024, Re-Logic revealed thatTerrariawould be adding a new functionality to Life Fruits. While their original purpose was to increase the health of players in Hardmode, Life Fruits in Patch 1.4.5 will also be an ingredient for Jungle Juice, an upgraded version of the Greater Healing Potion that restores 180 points of Health. Given that Super Healing Potions are only unlocked during the endgame, the Jungle Juice is meant to be a bridge between the two tiers and will likely find plenty of use as players take downchallenging bosses inTerraria, such as Skeletron Prime or Plantera.
Terraria Adding New Jungle Juice Potion in Patch 1.4.5
Jungle Juice can becrafted inTerrariaat any time without a workbench and only requires two ingredients: a single Life Fruit and three Greater Healing Potions. Combining the ingredients produces a batch of three Jungle Juices, which should make surviving Hardmode a bit more manageable. That being said, hunting down Life Fruit implies a trip to the Underground Jungle, which is widely considered to be one of the most challenging biomes in early Hardmode. Furthermore, Life Fruit only starts to spawn after the defeat of at least one Mechanical Boss.
While no exact release date for Patch 1.4.5 has been given, Re-Logic previously stated that the update is aiming for a launch in late 2024. With over 60 million copies sold,Terrariacontinues to be one of the mostsuccessful sandbox gamesof all time, and the unending support of the game by its developers has certainly played a factor in its success.
