Even today, many players are unsure how to get A Rare Realm achievement in Terraria. Even though there are many achievements in the game (a total of 88), “a Rare Realm” has become known to haunt many new players, considering how tricky it is to get if you don’t know where to look for it. So, in this guide, we will help you not only how to unlock this achievement but also everything about all the items involved in this process.
How to Get a Rare Realm Achievement in Terraria
The Rare Realm achievement in Terraria requires you to enter a unique biome called the “Rare Realm” using a Secret World Seed. The official description says, “Some very special seeds can lead to unique and rewarding experiences. Can you find one?” This description refers to the Rare Realms unlocked using a secret world seed.
Secret world seeds in Terraria are unique Easter eggs that, when found, generate worlds filled with special features and characteristics. These seeds can manipulate various aspects of gameplay, including enemy stats and behavior, item drops, graphics, theme music, and more. So, unlike regular seeds, which only affect the standard world structure, secret seeds can create realms with special features unavailable through regular world-generation seeds.
In Terraria, eight unique secret world seeds are available to open unique realms with distinct characteristics. You can unlock the “A Rare Realm” achievement on PC, console, and mobile game versions by loading into any of these eight secret seeds.
Also, remember that the “A Rare Realm” achievement is exclusive to the Steam, GOG.com, and mobile versions of Terraria. These platforms feature 115 achievements, while console versions offer only 88 previous achievements.
With that said, here are the eight unique secret world seeds you can find in Terraria:
- Celebrationmk10 Seed
- Don’t Dig Up Seed
- Drunk World Seed
- For the Worthy Seed
- Get Fixed Boi Seed (Zenith/everything Seed)
- No Traps Seed
- Not the Bees Seed
- The Constant Seed
The world-generating mechanics of secret seeds set them apart from their regular versions. Using a secret seed overrides the usual randomness associated with standard seeds, resulting in unique worlds that may not be identical, even when using the same secret seed.
Celebrationmk10 Seed
The Celebrationmk10 seed in Terraria is a unique world seed introduced in the 1.4.2.3 update to celebrate the game’s tenth anniversary on May 16, 2021. This special seed offers a vibrant and festive experience with various features and modifications to the standard gameplay.
To generate a world using the Celebrationmk10 seed, you can use any of the following case-insensitive variations:
- celebrationmk10
- 05162011
- 5162011
- 05162021
- 5162021
Here’s what makes it unique:
- A world where most of the terrain is painted in a striking cyan color.
- Key structures, such as the Dungeon, Living Trees, and Pyramids, are painted pink, adding a playful and celebratory touch to the environment.
- Several unique NPCs are named after Terraria’s developers: Andrew the Guide, Whitney the Steampunker, and Yorai the Princess, along with a Party Girl and an Angora Town Bunny, who all spawn at the player’s beachside starting location.
- An immediate in-game Party event upon world generation, creating a lively atmosphere.
- An increased chance of obtaining the Rod of Discord, a powerful teleportation tool, with the current drop rate boosted from 0.2% to 1%.
Don’t Dig Up Seed
The “Don’t Dig Up” seed, also known as the “Remix Seed,” is a unique world generation option introduced in Terraria’s 1.4.4 update. This secret seed completely flips the script, with you spawning in the Underworld instead of the usual surface biome.
This mode offers a challenging and unconventional gameplay experience. You must navigate through the fiery depths of the Underworld and eventually work your way up to the dangerous surface, battling powerful enemies and overcoming obstacles along the way.
To generate a “Don’t Dig Up” world, enter any of the following case-insensitive seeds:
- don’t dig up
- dont dig up
- dontdigup
In the “Don’t Dig Up” world, you will encounter unique enemies, such as the Lava Slimes, which don’t drop lava upon death, even in Expert Mode or higher. The middle third of the Underworld remains relatively safe, but going beyond that zone will expose you to higher-difficulty areas with lava, Ruined Houses, and tougher Underworld enemies. Chests are replaced by Mimics in this starting area, adding an extra layer of difficulty to the game.
Drunk World Seed
The Drunk World seed, also known as the “tipsy” or “drunk” seed, is a secret world generation option in Terraria that creates an unusual and unpredictable environment. This seed features the Crimson and Corruption biomes and an unusual world layout with unexpected terrain and structures.
The resulting world will have a mix of the Crimson and Corruption, causing both biomes’ bosses to spawn naturally. A secret third biome called the “Drunken World” or “Drunk Caverns” can be found under the surface. It is characterized by its dark purple stone walls and Hardmode ores.
To generate a Drunk World, you can enter either of the following as the world seed:
- 05162020
- 5162020
This seed was made to pay tribute to the game’s ninth anniversary on May 16, 2020. In the Drunk World, the world’s evil biome is still decided by you during world generation, but the opposite evil biome will also be present in smaller patches. This seed also alters enemy stats and behavior, with most enemies becoming faster and more aggressive. Moreover, surface chests are replaced with Gold Chests and often contain higher-tier loot.
For the Worthy Seed
The “For the Worthy” seed is a secret world generation option in Terraria that significantly increases the game’s difficulty. Introduced in the 1.4.0.3 update, this seed offers a challenging experience for seasoned players seeking a greater test of their skills.
To generate a “For the Worthy” world, enter the following seed:
- for the worthy
“For the Worthy” world requires careful planning, strategic decision-making, and mastery of Terraria’s mechanics.
This seed introduces quite a few changes to the game:
- Enemies and bosses have increased health and damage, enhanced AI, and new attack patterns.
- Resource and loot drop rates are reduced, making it more challenging to acquire essential items.
- Traps and ambushes are more frequent and deadlier.
- World generation features new structures, enemies, and hazards.
- You starts with a new item called the “Seed of Worthiness,” which can activate special events or toggle certain difficulty modifiers.
Get Fixed Boi Seed
The “Get Fixed Boi” seed, also known as the “Everything” or “Zenith” seed, combines the unique features of all other secret seeds, offering a special gameplay experience of all other worlds in one seed.
To generate a “Get Fixed Boi” world, you can use any of the two following case-insensitive seeds:
- get fixed boi
- getfixedboi
Here’s what you can get in this one:
- You spawn in The Underworld instead of the surface, facing immediate danger.
- The world’s layers are redesigned, replacing traditional underground layers with distinct biomes.
- The surface is an eerie, pitch-black landscape with faster and stronger enemies.
- You’ll find many environmental hazards and traps, which create a constant sense of danger and require careful exploration.
- Familiar resources and pickups are replaced by explosive or event-exclusive items, adding unpredictability to item collection.
- The world’s day-night cycle is replaced by permanent night, allowing nighttime bosses to spawn freely and changing the game’s overall pace.
- A new boss, Mechdusa, emerges as an amalgamation of the mechanical bosses, introducing a formidable and unique adversary for players to conquer.
No Traps Seed
The “No Traps” seed in Terraria offers players a world free from the dangers of naturally generated traps. You can explore and adventure using this secret seed without the constant threat of unexpected harm from hidden traps.
To generate a “No Traps” world, enter either “no traps” or “notraps” (case-insensitive) as the world seed during world creation. Here’s what you can get in this seed:
- The complete absence of traps and dangerous mechanisms makes the environment safer for exploration.
- You can focus more on combat and building without worrying about hidden dangers.
- It is a more relaxed gameplay experience compared to other secret seeds.
Not the Bees Seed
The “Not the Bees” secret seed in Terraria transforms the game world into a bee-themed landscape, introducing challenges, gameplay mechanics, and many bee-related items and structures. To generate a “Not the Bees” world, use any of the following case-insensitive seeds: “not the bees” or “not the bees!”.
The Constant Seed
