Let's play Terraria!

I have no clue how you're all getting molten so quickly. Every time I get close to hell I'm swarmed by imps and skeletal worm dragon thingies. Getting the fire forges was child's play compared to actually getting any of the hell ore.

Well what I did was; Use lots of pots on first(and maybe second) and get enough for pickaxe. With that you 1hit them. Then I went down again with a couple of dynamites, they dont explode with dynamite but you can take all the crappy ash blocks away fast. Then just mine, if possible in a horizontal way, since on vertical you're gonna get stuck with a freaking bone snake and get mad.

EDIT: Also, for some reason in the very bottom end of the world, spawn lowers a bit, and sometimes bone snakes just disappear when they go too low.

you guys...

Realize that hitting the magic projectiles destroys them, so just mine the hellstone facing the imps to destroy their fireballs. Nightmare pickaxe (fast) and full shadow armor set (+15% swing speed) makes hellstone mining piece a cake.

I did it in copper armor Died alot in the beginning, but yeah it gets better with every piece of equipment you manage to mine out. Just do what Lahrmid says and face the imps, in addition their fireballs sometimes drop hearts so you even get healed. The bone worm is a bitch, just reload the map when he is bothering you.

Wait what?

Either just do something else for a couple of minutes at another place or exit and enter again. The mobs spawn randomly so there is a good chance you won't get a bone snake in the same point again. That is all I wanted to say. Of course it will probably reappear eventually, but in that time you might be able to mine some hellstone.

I have found my salvation in dynamite. Dozens of sticks of that stuff solves all of your problems! Drains magma, mines ore, clears passages, and insta kills mobs that are near it.

I haven't played as much as I'd like to but I'd imagine that if you lost your stuff when you died (maybe not armor but like ore) instead of just coin it might become hard because you can't just suicide to get free shit. "Death Penality" my ass. I also wish there were more server options and ability to mod things.

[burgingham]

I definitely wouldn't have my molten armor set yet if there was a severe death penalty.

[cloakblade]

Yeah they kind of made it too easy to die early on (even slimes can corner you and outnumber you in the right situation). So I imagine that's why they made it almost non-existent, its so trivial, if you keep your coins at home in a chest then you can use it to go home. Seriously need to just get over my disliking of suicide spamming and just start going.
