That sucks. My Summoner run is going okay.

I've always been of the opinion that there really needs to be an early-game summon other than the Slime Staff (or make said staff easier to get). Having to wait until the Queen Bee to get your first actual weapon that fits your class is kinda dumb IMO.

If you can't find a slime statue, go for the A game. I suggest you build a house for the merchant to move in, buy a bug net, catch some bait, and fish at the ocean for a Reaver Shark. Afterwards, you should mine for hellstone and obsidian to use at a hell forge.

Finally got a slime statue after using lava to fight a slime rain.
