And part 5 is up, summing up the last part of Pre-Hardmode:
Running dry on screenshots, so decided to pack them all together in one bunch.
After the adventure in the Dungeon and getting geared up, it's time to see what I can do in the Jungle.
The answer: Not much. Ivy Chests doesn't hold much of progression value: Bullets are limited, and Hermes Boots > Anklet, I did got my hand on some feral claws though.
The point of interests are the rare Ancient Cobalt Armor, which is probably my best bet to get some decent armor around.
And the drops from the Queen Bee, as some Bee weapons will help me out against the Wall of Flesh. Queen Bee isn't much of a challenge anymore after getting Dungeon weapons.
But then, after the first fight, an useful friend has appeared:
The Bee Mount!
So I actually have a partial set of wings now, that's really awesome!
With this kind of luck, I think it would be a waste if I will not try to pursue this further after pre-hardmode.
So here I've decided to do my best to get as far as I can.
Eventually, I've reached the underworld through my main tunnel, the extra bombs found in the dungeon chests really helped a lot!
It was quite with some fall-back and get-ups. it was no easy enviroment to travel (No pickaxe, hook, and Obsidian Skull), at least the Climbing Claws and Bee Mount helped me to get accross.
Using the Shadow Key, I could earn the stuff from the final generated chests. Which also have some great secondary loot available that you wouldn't expect.
And sometimes great loot can drop without needing a Shadow Key:
After the looting, I've decided to return home and prepare blocks and potions for the Wall of Flesh. Things go pretty fast when you don't need to mine Hellstone. heheh...
It still feels so odd to face the Wall of Flesh, and Hardmode afterwards, with mediocre dungeon weapons and uncombined accessories.
I've decided to look for more Shadow Chests, and managed to find a Dark Lance and Fire Rod at least.
There were moments if I should back to grind for an armor set at least. (And after looking back, I think I should have).
But I had a good feeling that I was prepared enough for this. Buff potions shouldn't be underestimated when stacking them all together.
And after placing carefully the blocks and bombing away the tower obstacles, the moment has arrived:
