Do you randomly remember the old days when you were a noob and either:
- Smiled at the memory
- Facepalmed/double facepalmed
- or want to flip a table because ‘dam i so stupid’?
These are a mixture of my old website account 5 years ago and current steam.
1st story - And the world turned grey…
I remember venturing passed the desert where I first faced confusion - running in all sorts of direction that I couldn’t control until I found green grass again.
I felt safe seeing the familiar color until a little gray monster zoomed across the screen and popped me.
Literally popped me.
I then stayed near the beach until I hit level 20 for the first time. Took hours.
2nd story - The Robot
I was quite the “beggar” back then and asked,"can any1 donate me a golden bow pls & thx"
I loved that multishot that helped me level much faster than a single shot I kept missing. After getting my Gbow, I ventured into the Highlands for the first time as recommended by my little brother since he said monsters there drop high tier 6 and 7 equipment and tier 3 abilities.
The very first thing I saw were a TON of villagers running straight for me, shooting green lasers, and throwing red bombs. I got hit. I RAN FOR MY FREAKIN’ LIFE.
As I ran, I met my newest nightmare.
The robot.
He smacked me so good that I turned right around and ran straight back into the angry villagers.

3rd story - T3 Vit ring and snakes
After countless teleport deaths and thinking the Godlands was impossible because the bullet hell was more than I can handle, my brother told me about the easiest place to farm pots. Snake pits. So my brother and I started our adventure.
At this point, an extremely kind person random teleported to me and gave me a T10 bow and T9 armor. I felt like a beast with 3-shots and the armor.
Still, I avoided every “robot” that I encountered and killed only the green lesser gods. After what felt like forever, we found a snake pits dungeon.
We entered, broke my first walls (always nexus’d when realm closed so I never broke walls at Oryx’s Castle) and entered a room filled with giant snakes. I ran straight into them thinking I can handle it and nearly died. 10 seconds in and already nexus’d. I remembered watching a snake pit 101 guide on Youtube before attempting again.
We tried again and this time had no problem using the new technique of “circling your enemies”.
Finally, we reached the boss and holy crap did she hit hard!
The snehk lady kept shooting needles, throwing bombs, and spawning snakes.
We tried to make things easier by killing the the things that kept circling the room and slowing us down. We killed maybe around 3 before we realized they kept respawning /facepalm
We both had no pets at that time and had to hide behind the walls to regen. We waited minutes upon minutes, watching our HP bar slowly hit full before starting again.
Then I realized I had my T3 vit ring in my inventory.
I healed myself first with the ring and then traded it to my brother so he can heal.
Healed, shot a few arrows, get hit by every shot, run back, puts vit ring back on, and repeated for a well over 30min boss fight.
Got nothing. Brother got speed pot.
He didn’t give it to me.

So, what are your noob stories?
Don’t be shy! We’ve all been there before.
