So, I've been thinking about this one recently, and it does sort of make sense. When you try to get to the dungeon before skeletron has been defeated, a massive dungeon guardian comes out of nowhere and instakills you. But the dungeon guardian is miles better than skeletron and it is skeletron you must face not the dungeon guardian, even though it is still about and could easily kill you. If both skeletron and the dungeon guardian don't want you in the dungeon, then why doesn't the dungeon guardian kill you afterwards?
It must mean that the dungeon guardian disappears to the shadows once you gain access to the dungeon. Fast forward to when plantera is killed you start getting ectoplasm dropped by enemies in the dungeon. This ectoplasm from the dungeon is used to make summoning items for the frost moon and pumpkin moon, both contain moons and moonlord is... well you get the picture.
So when golem is killed, these cultists appear outside the dungeon. Yet they can only spawn if skeletron has been killed (or in other words the dungeon guardian has gone off to somewhere unknown). Putting these events together you get the cultists spawn after the dungeon guardian has disappeared. In my theory: the dungeon guardian has gone off to transform into moonlord.
Killing the cultists bring out the lunatic cultist and killing him brings about the pillars. Defeat the pillars and the next thing you know, impending doom is coming.
So you can see the evidence.
If you have anything to add to this or pick up on something I've missed or state a reason why this wouldn't work in a million years then please post I am curious...
