Need help for mine hellstone

[I am Steve]

Hello, do you guys have tips for mine Hellstone because I just entered in Hardmode and my armor is Platinum, so I need to mine Hellstone for make me a better pickaxe and armor. The problem is there is so muuuuuch monster in hell and it's impossible to mine the hellstone without die.

If it's too hard for you go fishing in the ocean. You can get a reaver shark there and that pickaxe is good enough to mine the first tier of hardmode ores

[Chesneymatt]

if your in hardmode and have fished crates you can open them and skip hell stone

How can I get the "reaver shark" ?
Got to check the wiki

Get better armour. Kill EoC and then Eater of worlds or Brain of Cthulhu depending on what biome you have, get shadow/whatever the name of the crimson armour is, then kill skeletron. If your ranger get necro armour, and if your mage get jungle/meteorite armour (meteorite armour with space gun is prefered)
After that I don't see why you would die in the underworld. Use obsidian skin potions if your having a hard time mining the hellstone

If you do need to get the hellstone, an easy way to pick up some is by mining it from the inside of the obsidian buildings. As long as you don't break the walls of the building between you and the hellstone, they'll keep the lava from getting to you. To help with the mobs you can block off the floors you're mining on, which will keep out everything but imps and bone serpents.

I mine hellstone from inside the buildings and under them. Down there you really only get the occassional imp or hellbat that flies down there. If anything else does go down there it's only one or two things at a time and easy to deal with.

Mine out all the extra ash blocks leaving a boarder around the hellstone deposits so that there is a lot of open space around all the hellstone under the house. Then start with the lowest batch of hellstone. Mine it and remove the barrier of ash if possible (meaning lots of lava won't flood the area or kill you), and then move on to the next section of hellstone and mine that/remove the barrier if needed. And so on.

If you've beaten the Eater of Worlds or Brain of Cthulhu, make the pickaxe so you can mine the hellstone. Just use a mining potion and an obsidian skin potion or two and you'll get tons.

I know how to mine hellstone, but it's not the problem. Too much monster ! They are pushing me in the lava, killing me, burning me... It's just impossible !

The only way I found is create a new world were monster don't kill me.

P-S: I have beaten all the pre-hardmode bosses.

Platinum Armor isn't going to work in HM, try to get at least Shadow/Crimtane Armor.
