kinda depends on what resources you have access to.
If it exists and can be feasibly gotten, I will track it down. XD Master Mode is no joke...
I mean I don't know if you have access to hallowed stuff lmao
Because the best option before accessing those is the flamarang, made with hellstone.
Unless you really wanna use sticky or normal grenades.
Ah. XD No, no, this is pre Hard Mode.
Same knockback, just consumable.
Before hard mode the highest knockback looks to be 8.
I'm fighting Brain to get access to Meteorite to GET some of the next stuff...
Mining way down deep around lava and such should be enough to get you hellstone.
Yeah, Hellstone is out until I get
Meteorite tools. I'm rocking a Gold Pickaxe right now.
I could've swore mining hellstone and obsidian was possible sooner.
Nope, sadly. BELIEVE ME, I want it to be.
My highest ore I'm capable of mining right now is Crimtane.
Then your best bet is probably the annoying chakram.
Which... is mostly gotten from beating Brain and Eye of Cthulhu. XD
And I can't make most Crimtane gear, because it requires tissue samples. Which drop from....
It's a very good progress gate, honestly.
I'd respect it if I wasn't caught behind it.
I last ventured into hardmode before a LOT of these bosses lmao
I'm also playing on Master Mode.
Which means everything has 10 times as much HP, and deals 5 times as much damage.
I can't even recall master mode being an option way back then. XD Now I just sort of play for funzies.
I'm doing it because I wanted a difficult game.
It is VERY MUCH scratching that itch.
But there are some walls...
