Hardcore Expert Mk. II - Crimson Edition (COMPLETE: Video inside)
Miku (Crimson)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkHkgaNq7kU&feature=youtu.be

Remilia (Corruption)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCdhVHYGlPU

After my successful Hardcore Expert run about a year ago, I've got the itch to play again. This time, without the laughably overpowered Worm Scarf to keep me safe.

Death Counter:
Miku I - A floating eye and zombie came out immediately after nightfall. I was caught off guard.
Miku II - Building my shaft to look for hearts and chests. I find a cavern, explore it to see that it's a marble biome. I say, "Screw that", and make my way back to the rope, only to find out that a hoplite has spawned behind me. I charge through him on the minecart, but catch a javelin in the back of the head.
Miku III - A quick death. I had explored right as far as I could, found some goodies. Started exploring left, in hopes to find more chests, and get jungled.
Miku IV - Building a shaft to look for hearts, but with no bombs this time. It's a slow descent with a ton of water keeping me company. A granite elemental comes to play, clipping through the walls and killing me in two shots.
Miku V - Jumping from ledge to ledge, swapping between torch and pressure plate, checking for traps and exploring. I make a long jump to a ledge, drop a torch, and swap out to pressure plate just in time to see the very spot I landed on had wires going straight up. I try to jump out of the way, and collect a boulder to the face.
Miku VI - Fighting in solar eclipse with hallowed armor. I try to cell phone away to heal, but the animation takes too long, and I get exploded by a vampire.
Miku VII - Martian Invasion, I was chillin' out in my fighty-box playing with saucers, when I slipped out, thinking I could do more damage in less time. I try to Rod of Discord back into the box, miss, and get slaughtered by the death ray. Wasn't even recording this one, since this is an easy event.

Wow, good luck with that, and don't forget to overprepare ^.^

Miku VI is not lookin' bad. I'm just about the end of normal mode right now.

-Full garden, so I can keep potions going nonstop.
-Tons of fish, so I can run endurance and hemoprianha potions, too.
-DPS meter and sextant are the only things I need left for cell phone.
-68 wood/26 iron/4 golden/1 sky/1 crimson crate
-Four long strips set up in jungle for plantera bulbs to spawn on.
-Four medium strips of jungle set up right under my base for life fruits to spawn on.
-Three short strips of mushroom set up near the jungle one for truffle worms to spawn on.
-Got lightning boots, bezoar, and nazar. Prepared to farm up that Anhk shield.
-NO HELLWING BOW yet, though. I might have to do without, and just make the wall of flesh runway longer.
-34 hellstone bars and 2,000 hellfire arrows. I might farm more before going into hard mode.
-Got lightning boots, and reforged to +3 defense.
-ZERO HEART STATUES. This is super distressing.

"Let's explore around those marble biomes for heart statues! I know they were scary before, but I'm practically invincible now!"

You are lucky. Once, I fell 3 whopping blocks, and took 1000 damage...
Delthea May 1, 2016 @ 11:58am 
-Finished the cell phone shortly after entering hard mode.
-Took a while to get a stormbow, but I made a huge area to farm frozen turtle shells while I was doing it. (Did not get a frozen turtle shell)
-Forced Destroyer to spawn, beat him up.
-Skeletron prime spawned naturally, so I figured I could take him. Worked nicely.
-Once Steampunker showed up, I set up a couple teleporters to fight twins, rolled 'em.
-With all three mech bosses dead, I run a teleporter from the main base to the jungle, and that takes a good 2000 wire or so, most of a night, and almost kills me.
-As soon as the teleporters are set up, I phone home, prep to farm chlorophyte, and set up a plantera arena. Use the new teleporter to get back to the jungle, get like 15 chlorophyte ore, and a solar eclipse happens. I have three turtle shells, but can't make turtle armor without the chlorophyte. I figure "Hey, I need neptune shells anyways, so let's blow it and see!"
-It's going well, until that freakin' moth spawns...

RIP: Miku VI
The cell phone animation was done, too. I was less than a tenth of a second from safety :(

Oh shoot. You did work very fast this time :o.
I recommend diving to the caves, if the eclipse spawns and you aren't ready.
Delthea May 1, 2016 @ 12:00pm 
I was IN a cave. I came OUT to fight the eclipse, because I thought I could handle it :p

Maybe if you build a home in said caves, you could Teleport back to it once things take a turn for the worst.

Miku VII ain't doin' too bad, ignoring the hilariously bad portents that have happened.
-Goblin Invasion prior to meteors, so no space gun. Almost died.
-Eye of Cthulhu spawns, and I'm equipped with mining hat, karate gi, and gold leggings. I fight him with grenades and almost die.
-Crap luck with fisher quests, but I get four (4) reaversharks in short order, so I have very few crates to open once I get to hard mode.
-Queen bee spawns in a bad spot, but I decide to fight her anyways, running to my above-ground arena. She almost kills me.
-No Aglet or anklet for spectre boots, but four feral claws and three regrowth wands.
-No heart, shark, or jellyfish statue.

Prepping to fight Skeletron now.

Do overprepare :P
Delthea May 11, 2016 @ 12:23pm 
-No Bee mount. I am teh sads.
-Barely beat skeletron. got caught in his spin twice.
- Fishing quest: "found in underground and caverns" - Did not pass this quest. Got 30 armored cavefish, though.
-Hunting in desert underground for aglet. Don't find one, but I nab 1400 desert fossils to extractinate, and a ton of mandibles for mining potions.
-afterwards, I head east past the desert, find a surface shaft I missed, and the aglet was in there. Figures. http://imgur.com/rxVl4Wr
-Run around in the jungle, find an anklet, finish frostspark boots. Spend 30 gold reforging it to +2 defense. Time to take a couple thousand ice blocks to the underworld and find me a hellwing bow.
-The game did NOT want to give me a hellwing bow. Finished my WoF runway, though. http://imgur.com/AeEHELS
-Pop Wall of Flesh in 4800ish feet (2400 blocks), get a laser rifle. Better than those miserable clockwork assault rifles I've been getting.
-Boxes contained:
~18 adamant Bar, 29 adamant ore
~12 titanium bar, 13 titanium ore
~5 mythril bar, 45 mythril ore
~1 orichalcum bar, 0 ore
~0 cobalt bar, 16 ore
~31 palladium bar, 0 ore

My worst headstart ever. Thanks, Obama.

-I'm a DPS meter and 2 fishing rewards away from cell phone. That's probably not happening this game. Time to take the lasergun into the corruption and pwn some altars. Palladium and titanium, pls! Cobalt, Mythril, Titanium. At least I got the important one.
-Smashed 10 altars, found the wizard in the crimson cave in the process. Convenient!
-Looking for more altars, a Crimson Mimic comes to play. NOT CONVENIENT! But I'm no wussie. Molten armor? No arena? NO PROBLEM! LET'S DO THIS! LEEEROOOOOOYYYYYYY! A-JENKIIIIIIIINS! I'll upload a video or gif of this fight later. It was intense. Got a dart gun out of it, too.
-Manage to get up to 12 altars before saying "screw this, I'm out"
Delthea May 12, 2016 @ 1:00pm 
-Found a third crimson hole. Smashed more altars than I'll ever need, and got a full titanium armor set+repeater in short order.
-Built an area to farm turtle shells and light souls, kinda screwed it up, but it sorta worked. Got 120 souls, picked up a daedalus stormbow in 3 chests. No turtle shell, though.
-Full moon was also a blood moon, getting me a bandage and a moon stone.
-Destroyer went down easy.
-Did a few more destroyers for extra bars and souls, second one brought me to 25 HP. Sadly, I wasn't recording for some reason. I just assumed these fights didn't have a chance of killing me.
-Making an underground hallow fishing spot for more cavefish and prismites. Picked up a couple of those. Lifeforce potions are nice, and a couple more endurances.
-Steampunker showed up, wired teleporters to dungeon and jungle.
-On my way down to corruption to pick up ichor for torches and golden shower, and soul of nights to summon the next boss, I pass through my hallow farming spot. Three frozen turtles are there, so I kill 'em, and get my frozen turtle shell. Only took 54 kills this time. Fortuitous! Could still come back here and try for a rod of discord, though.
-Fought Skeletron Prime, fell below 100 HP more than once.
-Thought i could do twins in the same night. LOLNOPE. Forgot to turn on heart statue, forgot to get golden shower, forgot to make more holy arrows, forgot to re-buff. This was just a matter of "wait until 4:30 and let them run away". Got both of them to their second forms, and at one point, they were chillin' at both of my teleport sections, so I got super low on life. They were both under 20% hp when 4:30 came and they escaped.
*TURTLE SHELL MVP*
-Make all my stuff, wait until nighttime, and fight again.
Fun Ami Fact! - I have only one heart statue at this fight. This is the smallest amount I've ever had. I average 2.5. One time, I had four before going into hard mode.
-Spend hours farming turtle shells, only to make chlorophyte armor first. fffff----
-Beat Plantera, barely. I'm really feeling the lack of worm scarf.
-Off to the dungeon! Fortunately, I have a teleporter set up here, so the trips back and forth are less painful.
~7 paladin shields, no paladin hammer
~Mythical shadowbeam staff, no spectre staff.
~Three black belts, no tabi
This is gonna be a LOOOOONG day.

You are really fast, eh.
I usually take a long time to even defeat EoC. Good Job getting there already :o
Delthea May 12, 2016 @ 10:12pm 
-Dungeon is a little scary, so I figure I'll finish the ankh before going back. Only need a trifold map and a blindfold, which I can get from the altered deserts.
~Got the map after 57 light mummies, immediately after getting a blessed apple after 232 pixie+95 unicorn+57 light mummies. About average for the map, way longer than expected for the apple.
~Got the blindfold before I could flatten out a large area of dark desert, at 18 kills.
-Finish the Ankh Shield, but it took 3 platinum just to get Armored (+3 defense). Gonna leave it there while I finish checking out the dungeon for Master Ninja gear (Tabi), Paladin Hammer, and maybe a spectre staff.
-Get two tabis while I wait for a paladin hammer to drop. Make two ninja gears, both suck. Reforge one time and get warding. Jackpot. Only takes 80 gold to turn the paladin hammer Godly, too. Things are lookin' up. Now if I could only find another freakin' heart statue.
-Off to the jungle with my phat lewt in order to raid the lihzard temple, make spectre armor, and acquire more chlorophyte bullets.
-Found lihzard temple and another 300 chlorophyte ore and finish up the spectre set. I have enough bars to make another 1000 chlorophyte shots on top of what I have now. This will not be enough.
-Seven golems gets me a sun stone and picksaw, but no eye of golem. Now, I'm a moon stone and seashell away from a celestial shell. This is going to be super important.
-First solar eclipse: A lot of crap. I crush the mobs, but no moon stone or shell yet.
-Nighttime: Pick up a ton of chlorophyte and get to 500 HP.
-Second solar eclipse: Two broken hero swords, no moon stone or shell yet. Upside: I'll be getting banners soon, to reduce the risk.
-Nighttime: Make 3000 chloro bullets, one last trip to the jungle should get me all the chlorophyte I'll need for the rest of the game. 30 bars, 360 ore, 3000 bullets. That's a total of 8000. I should be good with this. Here's hoping the THIRD solar eclipse plays nice >_>
-Jackpot. Collect a ton of banners, and it goes significantly more smoothly than the last two. Also, I pick up the materials for the celestial shell, and after one forge (33 gold), it gets warding. I'm coming up on the end of the game, so I figure I'll reforge everything. Wings get lucky, frozen shell gets warding, Ninja gear is warding, boots are menacing, and celestial shell is warding. 100 defense with beetle armor, and 57 with spectre.

Things left to do:
-HEART STATUES! I have one. I need more. Remilia XIV *barely* won with five and a worm scarf. A second is the bare minimum.
-Pirates. Can't believe this one hasn't happened naturally yet.
-(Maybe) Alien invasion. Acquire UFO mount.
-Fishron (Might die here)
-(Multiple?) Pumpkin moon. Need bat staff and raven staff.
-Frost moon
-Cultist
-Pillars (Might die at solar)
-Moon lord
