At this point I have pretty much kicked the poo poo out of normal mode but I am scared to activate hardmode. I have the night blade, ivy whip, hellstone tools, jungle, necro, and hellstone armors, space gun and armor, and magic scythe move.

It seems like both ranged options are rather weak. I have been using the space gun mostly but am worried it is not going to cut it in hard more. Is there a better ranged options I should acquire first?

The most interesting aspect about starting hard mode is they old monsters still spawn. At first I was worried because some of them are hard enough without the new monsters. Then I got golden showers and I never even notice them before they die from stray piss.

I set up a spikey ball trap system in the dungeon that makes it pretty easy to farm. I waited until the harder monsters but I would suggest you do it before. Make sure the spot you stand has dungeon music playing. You wont be able to AFK because of the caster guys.


I have killed the golem and all the other bosses. Is the only thing left the Halloween event and farming the keys to open dungeon chest?

What is better:
Turtle armor and vampire knives.
or
Specter armor and magnet sphere, nimbus, golden shower.

Just go into hardmode the enemies killing your NPCs wont matter they will respawn the next day. As you see new enemies killing your NPCs figure out how they are getting in and make modifications as needed to slowly fortify the base.

This is what I did and had a really fun time adding random pit and spike traps as needed to kill different enemy types. If you are super worried make a second world to store all your important stuff.

I was fighting destroyer of world and magic mirrored back to spawn. This resulted in him flying straight through the building slicing 4 or 5 NPCs in half. Luckily their brother showed up to run their shop and handle the burial.
