Hardmode jungle guide

Ever had trouble braving the hardmode jungle and getting those hardmode jungle ore? Tired of getting mauled by derplings and giant tortoises? Well have i got a guide for you. Step by step, I am going to give you some good tips on how to brave the hardmode jungle and get its precious resources.

Preparation

Hardmode makes the game pretty tough right? Well you ain't seen nothing yet. Sure, you've braved the deepest darkest depths of the hardmode corruption, walked across the happy go time demonic unicorn infested hallow and killed all 3 of the mech bosses (I wouldn't read this guide if you haven't killed the mech bosses, if you haven't, then make sure to do so :P). But its about to get a whole lot more wild and crazy once you enter the jungle in hardmode. The jungle is a HUGELY required biome in hardmode, as without the jungle, it would be impossible to fight the 2 other hardmode bosses or aquire the endgame armours. If you thought the jungle was annoying before with all those hornets, snatchers and the queen bee, then your definately gonna go insane atleast a few times lol.

To even stand a chance of crossing this vine covered beast of a biome, your gonna atleast need adamantite/titanium or higher, unless you are one hell of a dare devil. But assuming you've defeated the mech bosses and aquired a few hallowed weapons, a mega shark, hallowed armour and maybe a flamethrower, your set (This is what i used :P). But before you even venture into the jungle, one thing: GET THE PICKAXE AXE/ DRAX! ODDS YOUR SCREWED. Pickaxe axe/ drax is the only thing that can mine chloropyhte, the hardmode endgame material for creating the endgame armours. But thats not all your in for, because it doesn't stop there...

Plants, o glorious plants.

Hardmode jungle doesn't end with chloropyhte, theres alot more to the jungle then that shiny plant like ore. Always wanted more then 400 health? Well guess what? Its now possible to make it go to 500 health! To reach 500 health, your gonna need to get yourself some life fruit. Life fruit, you could say is, well, sorta rare, but it can be found quite easily if you know how to navigate the jungle (I found 5 within around 6 minutes :3). If you wanna go hardcore and not take the extra health, thats fine with me, just don't come crying to me when you get your butt whooped by a giant freaking flower bulb.

And from that, we come to the plantera section. Plantera can be considered the hardest of all the hardmode bosses (Excluding the pumpkin and frost moon events). Plantera must also be defeated to progress even further through the game, and thats where your chloropyhte comes in. Get that chloropyhte thats been laying around in your chest and craft yourself some armour and maybe some weapons from it. I reccomend the melee set if you need more defense but its up to you. Or you could go a step further and farm those tortoises that have been trolling you since the beginning and get yourself some tortoise shells, but that may take a bit.

Alrighty, now go back to that terrifying biome and find yourself, a pink, flower bulb that glows. When you find one, get your pickaxe, and destroy it (But you should probably make an arena around it first) and it shall summon plantera. Now whip out that megashark (Or whatever your using) and hit away. Just to create an image of how i defeated plantera, i will gladly list the items i used below:

-Chloropyhte armour (Melee set)

-Ice sickle

-Megashark (Chloropyhte bullets)

-Light disk (5)

Accessories

-Frost wings

-Magma stone

-Avenger emblem

-Warrior emblem

-Cross necklace

Killing plantera gives some pretty good items. Specificly, the temple key and the grenade launcher. Killing that blasted plant also allows the cyborg (Or whatever they call him) to spawn. But your not done yet, in fact, your only just getting started....

Is that a lizard person?!

Okay, so you killed plantera, got the chloropyhte, got the life fruit, all the good stuff. But killing that beastie plant does more then you realise. The dungeon now turns into a death pit (Hardmode dungeon, guide coming soon) and allows you to encounter a whole lot of new enemies and obtain ectoplasm, to craft the mage endgame armour: The spectre armour! But killing plantera also leaves you with a ragity, worthless, old temple key. It doesn't sell for anything, so what could you use it for? Well, chances are you may have come across a strange orange brick while in the jungle that you cannot break and still can't break to this day.

That my friend, is the lihzahrd temple and its the hardmode dungeon, and all kinds of wonders wait inside for you. And by wonders, i don't mean treasure, i mean death traps :D! Yep, LOTS of death traps, chances are, your gonna die a lot trying to make it to the end of the lihzahrd temple, and wait is that a lizard person and a flying snake?! Oh crud.... But if you did, you may find a strange looking machine, that you cannot break and you dunno if it does anything either... Well, chances are that while you were going through the temple, you found a few lihzahrd power cells. Don't sell em or throw em away, your gonna need em...

Okay, i hate this place...

By now, your probably thinking about what could happen if you put that power cell in the machine. Could it spawn a chest full of special loot? A new biome? A new pet? Nope, its spawns that glorified, son of duck, the golem... The golem used to be pretty easy, but easy isn't in reds nature, that golem wrecks your face now, so, nows the time you might wanna get one of those endgame armours, maybe turtle or spectre armour?! You also might wanna get an arsenal of endgame weapons that you can throw at him, odds, chances are your gonna get wrecked.

Heres the weapons and armour i used:

-Turtle armour

-Terra blade

-Shadowbeam staff

-Ice sickle

Accesories:

-Frost Wings

-Avenger emblem

-mana flower

-star veil

-Magma stone

Don't feel limited to what i used though, there is an arsenal of weapons at your disposal and feel free to beat the golem any way you can :)

If you killed that glorified son of duck, then your gonna get some pretty sweet loot. Golem loot is some of the best stuff out there and can help you conquer alot of future events and challenges. He also drops beetle husks and your probably thinking "What do these do?". Well, you can use them to craft yet ANOTHER endgame armour. But to make this armour, your gonna have to sacrfice your beloved turtle armour. Beetle armour also has 2 different chestpieces: The shell and the scalemail (Shell grants more defense, while scalemail grants more offense). The husks also sell for a good amount :).

Is it over now?!

Yep. You successfully conquered the hardmode jungle, good job. Unless you want all those endgame armours, in that case, go back there and suffer like there ain't no tomorrow :). Anyway, hope this guide helped and made it a bit more clear about what you need to do in the hardmode jungle. Also, if theres anything else i can help with, make sure to leave a comment and might do so :)

BIG SMOKE

Also, you can pretty easily make the magma glove out of a titan glove making a power glove then using that to make a mech glove then using that and magma stone to make a magma glove.

Dont bother, Pineapple- It's honestly a waste of an accessory. You can acquire it pre hardmode from fire imps, not sure why OP used it.

how do you get a magma stone?
