Kill the Wall Of Flesh to unlock Hard Mode and then souls will be available. To defeat the Wall of Flesh, try killing Underworld Demons to get Demon Scythe, then get full Molten Armor for best defense and bring a lot of mana and health potions. Building a bridge across the underworld is useful, although I only needed to do it from halfway to the edge.

If you can loot Gold chests in a dungeon to find a Shadow key, you can then loot the Shadow chests in the Underworld and find a Sunfury. Spam Demon Scythe at the WoF and refill using mana potions. If you run out of mana potions, spam Sunfury if you run out of mana. This method allowed me to beat him first try.
