technically only 2 bosses are needed: ML and cultist a minimal bosses run: at the beginning of the game pearlwood stuff is a good start, along with getting abigail cuz she gets buffed in hardmode the shotgun is pretty decent, only 25g from arms dealer you can buy tiki armor from the witch doctor for a great set of armor(1p50g) fishing is also good to get hardmode ores and money cool whip only needs the ice elemental and souls for a summon spiders are good then you could try farming the dungeon to get weapons and most importantly the morning star whip with that i think getting xeno staff from saucer is feasible or even skipping straight to pillars if you can manage the cultist ofc you could just cheese the cultist and then build afk farm for a pillar to get a weapon but wheres the fun in that

If i did the challenge, i have to decide what weapon would get me early quick progression, especially pickaxe and armor set fast enough without too much worry as i feel that's the main important part of it, weapon first, pickaxe next, armor last (if i can tolerate being that squishy lol), accessories just end up being whatever I can grab at the time.

[@diamondsimon020]

This is the most normal playthrough I've seen you do

[@kellamyoshikage286]

1:13 At this moment you actually have a perfect setup for farming basic slimes; for whatever reason a 1 block gap framed this way is enough to attack with weapons like copper shortsword, and you can aim slightly to the right to knock the slime against the wall so it doesn't break free. This lets you get full damage uptime on slimes to get torches at a bearable speed. This works against fighter enemies too, though many fighters have at least 1 small variant that can just slip through anyway and kill you. Goblin Army can't naturally spawn until you have 200+ HP and have broken a shadow orb. Killing BoC/EoW is insufficient. 8:06 Mimics will actually never jump away from you to realign themselves, you could have gotten close enough to block it in immediately in a tiny space, though preferably you'd also break any sloped blocks near it before actually attacking it after that because slopes are weird and I've had a Mimic clip through a wall because of one before. You can also put a block over its head when it lands and it will effectively be stuck as long as there's a block in front of it and you don't go behind it; at this point you could do the same position as 1:13 and kill it with a shortsword. ...Skyblock made me learn weird things.

Defeating queen bee will let the witch doctor spawn, who you can buy a full post-planterra summoner setup from. This will be expensive though, the armor alone costs a total of 1plat 50gold, and the pygmy necklace and hercules beetle cost an additonal 60 gold. However, the witch doctor also sells the perfect starter weapon, a blowgun for just 5 gold. You can use the blowgun with crystal darts to farm first spiders, then the dungeon for the mourningstar, and then farm solar eclipse for gold and deadly sphere staff, giving you a proper standing with all the loot you could need.
