Guide:Hardcore master mode for the worthy

{{Dablink|this guide is for a playthough for attempting master mode for the worthy with a hardcore character.

hardcore x master mode x for the worthy is a hard yet fun challenge to attempt.

The Start
the player starts off with nothing but a copper shortsword, a copper axe, and a copper pickaxe. the main goal should be getting wood and making a house. If you see any slime including green slimes avoid them at all costs as they can kill you very fast. Once you have made a house upgrade your sword to a wooden sword as it is better then the copper shortsword you start with (just a warning do not throw the copper shortsword away, espesscaly if you are in a tin world as the copper shortsword is needed for the zenith.) once it is nighttime do not go outside, to prevent the door being accidently opened put dirt or wood or stone in front of the door so nothing can get in, once it is day time branch your base out a bit and add more valid housing for more npcs, it does not need to be fancy it just needs to be a wooden box with a chair, work bench, torch, and door. afterwards work on making a hellevator but do not go down into cavern/underworld near levels as all enemies can kill the player in one hit. look for iron or lead as then you can make better armor, take all life crystals if found but only use one as using more can allow blood moons, eye of cthulu, etc to spawn. once you have 120 health the nurse npc can spawn, as i have said before the house does not matter but put the nurse in the best biome, and near the best npcs so you do not have to use a lot of money the reason is because the player will be using the nurse a lot, and the player will not have that money to use for nurse.

exploration
the first thing you should be doing is going underground looking for cabins and the cabins can sometimes contain magic mirrors or hermes boots, the magic mirror will be definetly useful for getting out of situations. once you find a magic mirror then you should get out of the cave via magic mirror. once done with the caves for a little bit go out to explore your world, just whatever the player does do not go into crimson/corruption or jungle as those biomes will kill the player really fast.
