After looking around the forums, I realized that everyone does things slightly differently for game progression. I was wondering what you guys do? Here's mine for the last few playthroughs:
1. Eye of Cthulhu (usually by accident at night)
2. King Slime (for fun)
3. Eater of Worlds/Brain of Cthulhu (progression)
4. Old One's Army tier I (getting a good sentry)
5. Queen Bee (bee weapons good against skeletron; also I love summoning)
6. Skeletron (progression)
7. Wall of Flesh (progression)
8. Destroyer (for Light Discs or Megashark, or just to unlock OOA)
9. Old One's Army tier II (the armor sets are OP)
10. Twins (progression and optic staff)
11. Skeletron Prime (progression)
12. Queen Slime (for fun, cool mount and cool hook, also pretty tough boss)
13. Plantera (progression)
14. Golem (over and over to get sun stone, eye of golem, and a good weapon)
15. Martian madness (to get UFO mount)
16. OOA tier III (usually losing to betsy but getting to round 6, saving up enough money for armor sets, then killing Betsy for weapons)
17. Duke Fishron (completionist)
18. Pumpkin Moon (necromantic scrolls)
19. Frost Moon (self-torture; I never get the right drop for the class I'm playing)
20. Lunatic Cultist (progression)
21. Pillars (great weapons)
22. Empress of Light (so hard)
23. Moon Lord
In my most recent playthrough as an Expert ranger, I couldn't beat anything after Golem, so I killed Lunatic Cultists and slowly, painfully farmed the pillars before fighting all the bosses/events 15-23.
What's your order?
