My first Expert Mode world, I was finally ready to take on the WoF and start Hardmode. I'd set up traps and moats and all that good stuff, I was ready to go.

Or so I thought. I kid you not, while the Guide Voodoo Doll was on the way into the lava, I got a warning of a Goblin Army approaching. After a heated battle, I beat the WoF and (having forgotten about said Goblin Army) teleported home to discover that the Goblin Summoner owns your face when you first start Hard Mode. Counting this event (which at least let me start with Shadowflame gear), this was the sequence of events by day/night cycle.

Day 1: Goblin Army

Night 1: Still fighting Goblin Army. Beat it.

Day 2: Solar Eclipse

Night 2: Blood Moon

Day 3: Pirate Invasion

Night 3: Twins attack (I won!)

Day 4: Slime Rain/King

Night 4: Destroyer attack (I lost)

Day/Night 5: Peaceful, but everyone but the Stylist is dead.

Day 6: Town is repopulated for the most part

Night 6: Skeletron Prime (I lost)

Day 7: Solar Eclipse
