PC [WIP] Complete Summoner Walkthrough

Beezwax&Nectar

The Destroyer
Here is my complete walkthrough for playing the game as a summoner
Step 1: Start out by making wooden armor, and accept the fact that you won’t get weapons for a while.

Step 2: Make a basic shelter for the night, and have the guide move in

Step 3: Gather up enough money for a merchant to move in, build him a house, and buy the bug net.

Step 4: Make a fishing pole, it doesn’t matter what kind.

Step 5: Find a Jungle, build a straight tunnel under it, and use jungle grass seeds on any areas where jungle grass won’t spread. This will be your bait farm.

Step 6: Explore past the jungle and find the ocean. Build a platform for fishing on later, hopefully you’ll find the angler. If you don’t, explore to the other side of the world and look for the angler on that side. Build him a house. KEEP UP WITH THE ANGLER QUESTS; THIS IS CRUCIAL TO YOUR SUCCESS.

Step 6.5: (If you want the Cell Phone) Get the Weather Radio, the Sextant, and the Fisherman’s Pocket Book.

Step 7: Max out your mana

Step 8: Go back to your bait farm and chop down all the decorative things there to get some bait

Step 9: Go to the ocean and fish for a reaver shark.

Minion tip: Imps don’t work underwater.

Step 14.5: (If you want to make the Night’s Edge) Get enough for a Fiery Greatsword

Step 15: Go into the underground Jungle and get Jungle Armor. Why jungle armor? It isn’t technically summoner gear, but it increases your maximum mana, reduces mana usage, and increases your mana regen, so it’s a good substitute for bee armor.

Step 44: There are still a few things to do before Hardmode; first you need to locate a Spider Cave

Step 45: Build a Mushroom Biome on the surface so that the Truffle can move in later. Make a Glowing Mushroom Farm while you're at it, so you can make psychedelic gear later

Step 60.7: (For expert corruption worlds only, but you can do it anyways) After that ordeal you should take a break from all this chaos and build an arena underground for the eater of worlds. It should be a fairly easy fight since I forgot to put this in earlier and I’m too lazy to change all the step numbers. Kill the eater of worlds and get the worm scarf.

Step 61: Go to the ocean and farm for a few Pirate Maps.

Step 62: Prepare an arena for the pirates, but don’t bother with buffs.

Step 63:Farm the pirates for a Pirate Staff.

Step 64: Prepare an arena for the twins, and get any buffs you might want.

Step 65: Kill the twins. It’s a good eyedea for you to use full spiders for this fight

Step 66: Make an Optic Staff. Reforge it to ruthless

Minion Tip: These guys aren’t good at large amounts of monsters spread out. Use Spiders for more spread out damage. They’re great against bosses, though. Also, they can’t go through blocks without the summoner being too far from them.

Step 67: build a house for the Steampunker

Step 68: Prepare an arena for the Destroyer. Prepare any buffs you might want.

Step 69: Destroy the Destroyer. (The most original pun ever)

Step 76: Go back to the Underground Jungle and find Plantera's Bulb. Build an arena for your fight with Plantera nearby the bulb. Prepare any Buffs you might want for the fight.

Step 77: Kill Plantera. Keep killing Plantera until you get a Pygmy Staff

Step 83: Prepare an Arena/Cheese Box for Golem. get any buffs you might want.

Step 84: Kill Golem. Keep killing Golem until you get the Picksaw and the Eye of the Golem.

Step 86: Wait for/Summon another Solar Eclipse and farm for the Deadly Sphere staff.

Minion Tip: These guys can't attack through blocks, so keep a few other minions who can around

Step 86: Make a pumpkin Moon Medallion and prepare an arena for the Pumpkin Moon. Get any buffs you may want.

Step 87: Farm the pumpkin moon for the Necromantic Scroll, the Raven Staff, and 750 Spoopy Wood.

Step 88: Craft the Papyrus Scarab and Spoopy Armor.

Step 89: Go to a Mushroom Biome and farm for Truffle Worms.

Step 90: Prepare an arena for Duke Fishron. Get any buffs you might want

Step 91: Kill Duke Fishron, and keep on killing him until you get the Tempest Staff.

Minion Tip: Use these with your Deadly Spheres and Ravens. These are essentially a shooting version of the Deadly Spheres

Step 92: Prepare an arena for the Martian Madness. Get any buffs you might want.

Step 93: Go to space and get to the left or right third of your map, take at least 80 Lizahrd bricks and a Water Candle, to increase spawn rate. Wait for the martian probe to spawn.

Step 94: Return home and Farm the Martian Saucer for the Xeno Staff and the Cosmic Car Key

Minion Tip: The Xeno Staff is a good exchange for the Ravens, because they have the same stats, but they never miss

Step 95: Prepare any buffs you might want for your fight with the cultists. There's no need to make an arena, because you probably already have one where they are for skeletron

Step 96: Kill the Cultists

Step 97: Prepare any buffs you might want for the Pillars and the Moon Lord.

Step 98: Take on the Stardust pillar first. You can find where it is on the map.

Step 99: Craft the Stardust Dragon Staff and the Stardust Cell Staff

Minion Tip: You don't want to use all stardust dragons, only about two or three. The dragons don't do very well against several opponents. You should have one sharknado (because they can shoot), and the rest of your minions should be Stardust Cells.

Step 100!: Take on the rest of the pillars in whatever order you like.

Step 102: Return home and kill the Moon Lord. Keep on killing the pillars and/or the Moon Lord until you get/have enough to make Stardust Armor, any Luminite Pickaxe, any Luminite Hamaxe, Solar Wings, the Lunar Portal Staff, the Rainbow Crystal Staff, and the DCU.

Step 103: Relish in your victory.

So... that's pretty much it. If I missed something, feel free to tell me what it is! also be sure to share your strategies on how to make this better.
