Well, I've made it down to hell with a new character on a new world (again without needing a Cobalt Shield), and it seems as if it's a bit more manageable now that the Lava Slimes can be eliminated without worrying about them spawning lava. Spawn rates seem a bit lower as well, though care must still be taken as the Underworld denizens can still deal high amounts of damage (though they'll go down fast to a Fiery Greatsword). Finally, as of patch 1.0.6.1, you can still flood hell with water by having the game "settle the liquids".
