Spritely Happy Fun TIme: Making Something of Myself

So today in Terraria I decided I was going to kill a boss. I had already killed the eye of Cthulhu about six times, and he was getting boring quickly. So I went off in search of my dungeon.

I found it, and the dungeon guardian got me. Funny, no one mentioned him. After some research I learned I needed to defeat Skeletron before I could safely get into the dungeon. Only one problem - I couldn't defeat Skeletron. I tried several times before I decided I was undergeared.

I went after the Eater of Worlds instead, at my husband's advice. I killed the Eater of Worlds after a couple botched attempts, and then, just to see if I could, I killed him again. By then  I was feeling pretty spunky, so I went off to attempt Skeletron again.

It was rough at first, but once I got rid of his hands, he was almost as boring as the Eye of Cthulhu. So he is dead, and my new favorite thing to do is die in the dungeons, mobbed by lots of angry skeletons. I am on a hunt for enough golden keys to open all the locked golden chests in the dungeon in the hopes that I will find a shadow key for the few shadow chests I've seen scattered about in the hell regions of my Terraria world. No luck yet - three golden keys and no shadow one :(

Even though I haven't found my shadow key yet, I exited Terraria feeling pretty good about myself and my accomplishments - that is, if it's okay to feel good about achievements in a pixelated world. Oh, and I have Spectre Boots now. Very happy face.

It's good to have goals, right?

Oh, don't use that line. On your January 16'th post, I said:
"You can't get into a dungeon until *much* later on in the game. Until you're properly equipped, about 4 "Dungeon Guardians" will spawn that do 9999 damage to you in one hit, and they can fly through any wall or surface and are about as big as an abandoned house."

It's still there, go look! Also, good for you! Now you need to dig straight down into the underworld and kill the Wall of Flesh. The Underworld has lots of shadow keys! :)
