Fucking Skeletron!

Haha. In a full set of gold armor and gold tools/weapons, and approximately 20 potion and 10 super duper potions, just over half a bar of health, I hoped to beat SKELEZOR but instead got absolutely curbstomped.
I have full demon armor, phaseblade, flintlock gun, demon bow, tons o shurikens, bombs, dozens of potions, and a bunch of magic stuff.

Then I got killed because the fuckwad didn't let me touch the ground.

Eye of Cthulu down, was quite easy in the end. Mixture of starfury, phaseblade and enchanted boomerang with about 20 potions used.

IIRC, Meteorite armor is more powerful. And if worst comes to worst, you can just sneak onto a MP server where the peps have beaten him, and get bones there, or get a couple stacks of dungeon background and build a homemade dungeon under your house and get bones there. If you don't want to go MP, IIRC, there are at least a stack's worth of background blocks you can access without Skeledork curbstomping at the entry to the dungeon.

I'm not sure about Obsidian background, but I think the background you see in chasms is Ebonstone.

Errr.... What. Why would you skip the hamaxe because it's not made to deal damage? It saves a slot where a hammer axe would go, you can have the hamaxe and an extra stack of potions or something.
I was using The Breaker (Demonite Hammer) as my weapon at the time.  29 glorious raw damage, massive knockback, doubled as a hammer.  I didn't have a sword in my hotbar, and the Waraxe of the Night is a reliable weapon in it's own right.  So for me the Hamaxe did all three jobs worse than what I already had.

The Shadow (Demonite) armor is probably your best bet against Skeletron unless you skip him.  The Hellstone armor set has nearly twice the defense as the Shadow set, and Skeletron hits hard enough where the damage algorithm doesn't make that useless, but it requires you to spend a large amount of time in the underworld.  Meteorite armor is easy enough to get, but it's only 4/5/4 for defense, and the set bonus (while useful for exploring) really just means you can use magic spells almost as much as a bow with unholy arrows.

Quote from: HailFire
I'd appreciate that.

You can make background walls out of obsidian and/or Ebonstone, right?

And is there anything more elaborate than bog-standard wooden doors/tables/chairs, etc.?
I know you can make Obsidian Brick at any smelter, so you should be able to make Obsidian Brick Walls too.  I haven't found a way to make Ebonstone Brick or Walls yet, though.
EDIT:  Just made an Obsidian Brick block to test, and none of the common crafting stations have a background wall option for it.

I noticed my friends list is covered in Terraria. Now I feel left out.

It looks like a 2D Minecraft game. How good is it by comparison?

It's not like minecraft. Minecraft is cool game, but I don't do more than build a house... This one feels like an old platformer with crafting/building elements. I enjoy it a lot. It's much more about killing bosses and aquiring better items and unique trinkets than about building (and about acquiring NPCs in your town).

Option A: Have a Cobalt Shield.  Pretty sure this is unlikely to happen, but it's possible.
Option B: Grappling Hook to safety.  You're immune to knockback while grappling, and the grappling hook is no longer a weapon, so it won't stop when it hits him.  Set up a few walls around the dungeon so you have an easy target to aim for.

Anyone tried quick runs into the dungeon to see what you can plunder yet? It's quite fun :D
