Dungeon Guardian spawning after Skeletron(bug?)

[D34THNOTE]

Hi

I've just beaten Skeletron with friend and we wanted to get down to the dungeon to see if there's anything, I read on wiki that Dungeon Guardian is not supposed to spawn after killing Skeletron but that's not the case.

Is this bug? Bcs it's impossible to beat, I refuse to believe that

also, what do I do after Skeletron? I found info about Plantera, so should we dig through whole jungle now?

After you kill Skeletron (after selecting 'Curse' on the Old Man outside the dungeon), the Dungeon Guardian should no longer spawn on that world. If it is spawning, wait an in-game day and check if the Old Man respawns (he will if Skeletron wasn't defeated).

After you defeat Skeletron and explore the dungeon, you should consider killing the Eater of Worlds (corruption) or Brain of Cthulhu (crimson). You may also want to kill the Bee Queen if you haven't already, and just generally prepare for the start of hardmode. When you're ready, you'll want to kill the Wall of Flesh in hell - but make sure you feel ready first!

Plantera is a hardmode boss. You have to beat the Wall of Flesh, THEN three bosses that look like robots, THEN you can fight Plantera! You've got a ways to go first :)

Try reloading the game, and check for the Old Man again. After you resolve this issue, do go down into the dungeon but if you're on hardcore (meaning you drop your loot when you die) be thoughtful of what you take with you down there. You should bring only a good - but not your best - weapon and some good armor, with a couple of healing potions. The enemies are very difficult down there, so try staying attached to the ceiling via hook. Try to find the Water Bolt that are found on the bookshelves too - it's very effective versus the EoW or BoC (corruption and crimson respectively.)

Next, the boss you'll want to take on is Queen Bee. I didn't have much trouble with her, just find a wide open space to fight her in OUTSIDE the hive. Use ranged and magic weapons, those are most effective. Make you sure take Ironskin and Regeneration potions, as you will be hit a lot by the little bees she disperses, and by her rushes herself.

If you really care about this world and want to dedicate yourself to it, and really fear the corruption/crimson getting into your house or your unique biomes that are hard to recreate, then dig trenches on either side of every unique biome (the desert, tundra/snow biome, and jungle) all the way down to hell, in a 6-block-wide fashion, cover the edges with stone bricks/wood (most common resources that are available for stopping the spread of the corruption or crimson your world is infested in) and dig tunnels horizontally under your biomes. Do this to affect your underground biomes of the above as well.

Then, once you're comfortable with your world, take on the Wall of Flesh. Build a long platform the length of your world (half of it if the size is large.) If you have the money, I recommend purchasing dynamite from your demolitionist, the miner-looking guy. Purchase five or so stacks of it, and when you summon the Wall of Flesh distance yourself far away enough (and match a pace for this distance as well) to where the Wall is barely on-screen, and deploy your dynamite. Adjust if you have a smaller/bigger resolution and figure out that sweet spot that will make it explode right as the Wall is next to it. After killing the Wall of Flesh, Hardmode is activated.

For this, look up the most effective weapons to get just as Hardmode is started, and there will be challenges associated with the acquiring of these weapons. Destroy as many altars as you feel necessary, as they will spawn the 3 (of 6) ores necessary for progressing through Hardmode. Be wary, as every altar you destroy will spawn one random corruption/crimson or Hallow block anywhere in your world. It's a good way to compromise those trenches you made earlier. Make sure your craft an armor set of each as you progress, as they are critically needed for staying alive. Try to summon a couple of goblin invasions once you have Mythril/Orichalcum or Adamantite/Titanium armor sets and weapons, and kill the Goblin Summoner (you'll know it when you see him, he flies and shoots purple bolts at you and summons flying skulls to kill you with) so you may get it loot drops. They are very powerful that can last you through the Mechanical bosses. The one I recommend you farm them for is the Shadowflame Knife, that

There are various good strategies for taking on the three Mechanical bosses, but they all require a high amount of skill and good practice in the game and with it's mechanics before taking them on. I will not go into detail on these bosses nor the strategies to defeat them, just research it on the Official Terraria Wiki and through YouTube videos.

After these Mechanical bosses, THEN you get to Plantera. I recommend the video linked here

If you don't have the world required in which to find the resources, just make another one, get it to where it is required to collect these resources, and transfer them over to your first world.
You will only be able to find one of her plants by defeating all three Mechanical bosses and by making a farm by which to access them easily. Read on, however.

If you don't want to take the risk of facing Plantera immediately after the Mechanical bosses, I get it. There are other things you can do to improve the quality of the game. Try the solar eclipse event, which will randomly be given a 5% chance to occur after a Mechanical boss has been defeated, any one of them. Or, you can glitch into the very dangerous, high-risk Jungle Temple, by placing three platforms in front of the door which requires a key, and hammering it into the stair shape that is pointed away from the door. Simply walk through it while holding down "S," or whichever key allows you to move down through platforms. To get out, drink a recall potion, use a magic mirror, or simply reverse the process described above. You might want to destroy it afterwards though, as the mobs that spawn within the Temple will be able to waltz right out, too.

There are many powerful weapons littered all over and throughout Terraria, and they can be found by just endlessly exploring and looking up guides on the Wiki on how to find them. But many of them are quite useful in your boss fights throughout the rest of the game, so make an effort towards this.


Next is Golem, which is relatively easy to spawn, fight, and farm. Then Duke Fishron, or, if you prefer, the Old One's Army event, the Frost Legion event (look up how to get it,) or Pirate Invasion, which drops MANY good accessories that have to do with money. I recommend the Pirate Invasion at any time during Hardmode, except for the very beginning. If you want to cheese it, just make a triangle shape that is hammered to slants on either side, put a lava pit in the middle from one bucket (must be a pit 5-7 blocks wide so that loot dropped from the pirates isn't burned in the lava,) and wait for the loot to roll in. The Flying Dutchman will not be able to reach you if you fully enclose yourself in this triangle, and you can deal with it easily after it stops dropping pirates from it's deck, using a ranged weapon (the Shadowflame Knife, preferably.)

After whatever you chose to do from the above, take on the Lunatic Cultist, a rather hard enemy to defeat, which will take a little preparation beforehand, so you can't really dive into this one at all.

After all of that, which will probably take you a couple a months, bookmark the link to this page and spend as much time as I did writing this whole passage to prepare for Moonlord. (Which is, by the way, in case you were wondering, 45-50ish minutes. You're welcome.)

I've hesitated whether to mention how dumb I actually am(especially considering how much effort you put into this), but I guess it's for the greater good!

Sooo, for anyone having this issue, you might have beaten Skeletron Prime, not Skeletron, that's what we've done because it was a new world basically after installing Win10 and reinstalling every game I had, few months from last playing terraria I've decided to cheat to the point at which I was just because it's not fun to do the same thing over again when you haven't even beaten the game yet.

So we've beaten all 3 mecha bosses and we're about to fight Plantera(she's tough though)

The only thing I don't get is the part about losing loot, we are on hardmode as we've beaten Wall of Flesh dozens of times actually, at least I believe that's how it works right? We did fight hardmode bosses so it gotta be true, but we're not losing any loot on death, is it something specific to the temple or what?

[Saver Sigonith]

HardMODE is not the same as HardCORE!
Hardmode is what happens to your world when you beat the Wall of Flesh.
Hardcore is a setting when you're making characters, that permanently deletes them on death.

I know the names are confusing. Hope that clears it up!
