how do you beat Expert Wall of Flesh? Even with full molten armor, a long hellbridge and a minishark I could only do 1/4 of his health before he killed me

yeah I fought the final boss for about 30 minutes with vampire knives and found out the hard way there is no point killing the hand eyes as it just makes the match even more difficult for melee fighting. the four pillars take loving forever to actually kill too so it's gonna be frustrating going back to actually fight him. I'm wondering if they spawn in the same spot and I can just make grinders for them

Holy poo poo, this literally just happened to me as well.

*swish*

Although harvesting it is a pain in the rear end

Just use bombs and dynamite and you'll clear it up easily. At least you didn't have your first meteor hit your dungeon like I did, which bricks wouldn't blow up because Expert Skeleton is such bullshit and I only had a golden pickaxe back then. I got 3 meteor head banners just trying to clear every piece I could pick out :v:

it's pretty funny that rushing a fishing pole asap is the best way to survive expert mode as you can get such great items. All you need is the merchant for the bug net and the fisherman to get started. With fishing quests now saying the exact biome you need to go to there's no reason not to do it every day.

sometimes slimes can drop alternate versions of ore. I've gotten a few tungsten pieces from them in my tin/lead/silver/platinum one.

what's the best mechanical boss to first fight against on Expert? I'm currently about to make mythril tier armor and was originally planning on going the magic route but was able to finish up a yo-yo bag and might just go melee. I have a railway across my entire map so I can kite pretty easily; haven't built a proper arena yet

for pre-hardmode I found it's best to just go from cactus into demonite pickaxe as you should just be using all the bombs you get to mine ore stacks anyways. You really don't need any of the metal ore ones unless you plan to build your hell-evator early on.

the bee mount is good for laying wires as it will stay in the air stationary for a bit whenever you get off flat land

I am having a whole lot of trouble beating the Destroyer. On my best attempt I got a tenth of his health taken off before I died. Any tips? I have a full set of palladium armor, my weapons are Amarok and a Clockwork Rifle with Silver Bullets for when I run out of mana for my Laser Rifle, and my accessories are Fairy Wings, a Yoyo Bag, a Charm of Myths, an Obsidian shield, and a pair of Frostspark boots.

An easy way to cheese the destroyer is to build a floating house about 50 blocks up where he can't reach you with the nurse in a chamber upstairs (not too close to you so probes don't kill her). Here's the building I did (I would suggest expanding the bottom room horizontally to kill probes easier). In a small world you may get harpies and wyverns but having the nurse there with some sunflowers will decrease the chances. This set-up will let you use any ranged weapon and helps prevent getting killed by lasers



Edit: I would also suggest switching out your imp staff for the spider fang minions + queen summon. You'll get more damage and they deal with the probes much better.

I have a godly megashark and frost armor but even with buff potions, 5/6 Warding accessories, and an asphalt walkway lined with regen I'm still having trouble taking Expert The Twins and Skeletron Prime down. What is the best ammo type to use pre-chlorophyte? I have the steampunker available and a lot of gold for the more expensive types.
