Oh ok, get a Night's Edge which is normally unobtainable prior to the fight, and kill it! I'm not saying you can't get a Night's Edge prior to the battle in that specific world.

There are exceptions, but most of the players would kill it to gain mass-Crimtane to get the sword, then in the jungle, then, the dungeon, and then the underworld! (For its materials)


 * Get it from another world previously.


 * Skip the boss, which is entertaining in a way.

Honestly I wouldn't get a Night's Edge to revisit the boss. If so, why not a hardmode weapon?
