I recently started my first Hardmode playthrough after defeating WoF, and I've been having a blast with the increased challenge, the risks, the new gear and enemies and all that good stuff. So far, I've fought a couple Pirate Invasions and done a bit of Cobalt and Mythril mining, rescued the Wizard, bought the Leaf Wings, and done a lot of exploring just to see how the world has changed (and is changing). Definitely tough but manageable so far, and a welcome challenge after coasting through the latter half of pre-WoF progression.
Then, just before I logged off last night, I had returned to my base after a mining trip when I got an ominous announcement: "You feel the air getting colder around you..." I saved and exited.
So. Presumably this is an "No, I expect you to die, Mr. Bond" kind of moment, right? I only have Cobalt Armor and a Cutlass, which were definitely big improvements over pre-WoF gear but I haven't even fought any Hardmode bosses yet, and the game is throwing the toughest Mechanical boss at me first. I have 410 Health and 200 Mana; my primary weapons are my trusty Godly Cutlass and a Laser Rifle from WoF. I can hold my own out in the wild against normal enemies, but the only reason I've been able to farm Pirates is because of my base defenses.
He has 28,000 health. I don't think this is even possible to win, is it? (I don't really care if I die, I'm at home and can retrieve my stuff easily; I'm just wondering what, if anything, I can do in the 1-2 minutes I have before he appears and if it's even worth trying to defeat him.
