Beating the golem really isn't that huge. Try the pumpkin moon. Even 2 manning that fucker is crazy difficult, never mind soloing.

[Baneling]

The only person I've personally known to beat the pumpkin moon was playing with three other people. It just doesn't seem like there's enough time in one night.

You can't beat the pumpkin moon. The final wave is infinite.

[frostshotgg]

"Beating" the pumpkin moon consists of getting to wave 15 and killing 1 each of the bosses for the trophy.

But yeah, the true final boss of Terraria is the dreaded biome spread, consuming it piece by piece until none of the pristine original exists.  So you can either build a fully detached floating station with as many biome samples as you can get and contain (Norn ship, anyone?), or try and save chunks of the world in their natural formation by isolating and decontaminating them.

i heard about putting 5 blocks deep and 3 blocks wide barriers in the limits between the spread and the biome you want to defend, others say about doing huge walls down to the base of the map. the floating island idea sounds better BTW. but i dont know if biomes like desert, ice and ocean can be recreated. dungeon never changes but there should be a way to protect the underground jungle since its the only source for chlorophyte as far as i know.

talking about floating islands, are their unique blocks craftable? or i have to actually destroy parts of the biome for gathering them?

I had to conduct an operation to save my jungle shortly after I entered hardmode, actually, since the corruption stripe was drying and converting it. Here's what it looks like zoomed way out in TEdit: http://puu.sh/520s7.png
You can see there that I also had enclosed the original corruption chasms. I did that pre-hardmode.

Here's the border at the surface: http://puu.sh/520Bz.png
I built the barrier out of mudstone blocks (1 mud + 1 stone, and you can turn dirt into mud while standing near water, so it's easy as hell to make).
There's rope running down the center of the vertical shafts, although TEdit doesn't show it.

And below the temple: http://puu.sh/521iR.png
So you can see how this works quite well.
It can't spread through the underworld's ash, or jump more than three tiles (but can spread through vines/grass). The walls are to prevent vines, grass, etc, the three tile tunnel is for being able to travel through it and for aesthetics (and there's no need to fill it, since empty space stops corruption/hallow spread just as well as uncorruptable tiles).

I haven't bothered to stop the corruption from spreading east towards the hallow, or the hallow from spreading into the ice (I get hallow enemies and underground snow enemies at the same time, and can harvest crystals from the walls, so as far as I'm concerned it's twice as good as just having underground snow or hallow).

I did build another wall from the dungeon to the underworld to prevent anything from getting past that, and my skyhome is floating over the east ocean (just high enough that things still spawn in the ocean. I can jump on the roof to get harpies to show up, and they also swarm around the skyhome during a bloodmoon. Oh, and they drop pirate maps .)

Edit: If you want floating islands' blocks, you have to take 'em apart to get 'em.

All chlorophyte needs to spread is light, mud, and one ore "seed" in cavern depths or lower. I setup some 5X5 blocks of mud with 1 ore tile in the center and some torch lighting, and it spreads on its own over time.

[SharpKris]

i'm thinking about setting up a chlorophye farm

[Kagus]

Desert, ice and jungle are all easily recreated using sand, snow and jungle vegetation (grass, trees and vines all count towards the biome block counter) respectively.  I'm not too sure about ocean, but Wrex assures me he's done it before himself.  I think you basically just need a bunch of coral on sand.

The only biomes that can't be recreated are the Dungeon, the Temple and spider nests. While Chlorophyte will only initially spawn in the Underground Jungle, once you have a sample it will grow anywhere in mud with light below the zero height level.

Not craftable so far. If you want to keep the floating island biome intact, harvest the blocks from other worlds.

Is there a b12 server?

Forsaken put up one yesterday  68.55.212.49:7779

It needs light? Interesting. Perhaps that's why I'm not getting total conversion in my small farm of 5x5 mud blocks (with chlorophye ore seeds in the center). Or I should look it up on the wiki again, because I may be hitting a max cap on chlorophyte in an area.

The cap is fairly large, like 100 tiles in 150 area or something. If you put a torch at each corner of the mud block it should start spreading quickly.

[Sergius]

I'm not 100% sure, but I think chlorophyte doesn't spread in non-hardmode worlds.

Also, I think you can have multiple farms 30 blocks away and they won't bother each other's cap.
