Anything good to do in the underworld?

[Harichi]

I'm pre-hardmode and there isn't anything to do really do in the underworld. I have a gold pickaxe and I don't fancy going to the crimson with a katana, tungsten helmet, a gi and boreal wood greaves (I can easily get gold greaves, but even the giant worms with 250 health go down easily with a Demon Scepter.
Any ideas as to what I can do down here?

Mine for Hellstone, make hellstone tools and armor, then progress. After that, Kill the WoF and progress further. The only use of the underworld is for some potions, equipment, and hardmode activation. (please correct me in I'm wrong, terraria vets)

I can't mine hellstone. I have a gold pickaxe and I said I don't want to go to the crimson, it gives me the chills and I'll probably die.

You'll have to eventually, it's just part of the game :p

If you found yourself a Shadow Key from the Dungeon, you could open the Shadow Chests scattered about the Underworld for potions, weapons, and some meteorite bars.
Oh and there are several drops from the mobs there, like an obsidian rose, voodoo dolls, Plumber's Hat, and a Demon Scythe.

You could get a Reaver Shark, which is the best pre-hardmode pickaxe by fishing in the ocean and you'll eb able to mine hellstone, but you need to go to the Crimson for valuable stuff...also hell's harder than the Crimson.

If you can get a ♥♥♥♥ ton of beenades spawn the wall of flesh it will take second to destroy the wall of flesh and don't forget the platforms then bam hardmode that's how I did it

Haven't found the dungeon.

Hell is a lot easier than the Crimson or the Corruption for me.

Then you're doing something... I don't think that wrong would be the most accurate word, but either way, you need a molten pick axe for hardmode. The fact you're also that far down before going into the crimson or dungeon... that's just not natural progression.

The fact you're not struggling with hell with your current level of accessories... is actually kind of concerning. You should have gotten yourself a chemically accelerated projectile weapon (or mor ecommonly referred to as a gun) from the crimson, the goblin tinkerer from the dungeon, and maybe a few things from the jungle and sky before you go that deep.

I don't mean to be rude, but you really should explore the crimson, dungeon and jungle first. The part I mentioned about the sky is pretty optional, but one of the items you can get grants fall damage immunity, making it much safer to drop down a hellevator for quick access to hell.

I just went to the Crimson and died easily.

Oh, and I have the Suspicious Looking Eye, the item that summons the Eye of Cthulhu. Do you think I could beat that boss? (One of the altars spawned in a cave about 30 blocks from my house).

To progress the game properly and get all the weapons, armor, and npcs, you need to battle all the other bosses before bothering with the underworld and the wall of flesh. Surprisingly, the guide can usually give you clues as to what to do next. Also, if you're surviving in the underworld, you should have no problem with the eye of cthulhu. It drops crimtane when killed too so it's a good way to get yourself some better weapons and armor.

And hey, there's always the terraria wiki. I've had to use it more than once, lol
