Explore the Underground. That's where you get your statues. No way around that sadly enough. I suggest you make a new pre-hard mode world and look for them there and bring it into the world where you want to kill the bosses. The heart statue isn't really necessary if you play your cards right, it is just a matter of "just in case" here.
