Welcome to the 2-D world of Terraria, where the world is your sandbox! You can destroy, kill, build, decorate, mine, collect, PvP with buddies or even journey to hell! The possibilities are almost endless. This is your world to shape and make it into what you want.
You can make as many characters or worlds that the game will allow. Some trophies, like All in the Family, require you to have all the NPCs in one world whereas, the requirements for Airtime! can be gained between all the worlds you play on.
The whole game can be played with multiple buddies, they must be on your friends list in order for them to see your world when you enable it for online. This makes everything easier because the bosses and enemies do not scale with the amount of people in the game.
Boss strategies for Hard Mode:
There are two main ways to fight bosses. One is the hard way that requires you to stay mobile and dodge most of the attacks. In order to do that you should prepare an arena for each boss that will allow you to move around as much as it takes to consistently dodge attacks. The second way is to abuse the invincibility frames you get when you take damage from something. Every time you take damage, almost no matter what the source is, you become invulnerable to damage during a short period of time. The trick to exploiting this is to make sure you take damage from something that barely takes any health away. With the help of accessories such as the Cross Necklace you can increase this window of invulnerability to the point where bosses will struggle to land even a single hit.
Most of the ways to exploit this have been patched in the current version of the game but there are still at least two setups that work really well. The first one is to get enough defense so that you can stay on Spikes (collected from the Dungeon) while your natural health regeneration makes up for the constant damage you will take. With 78 defense you will only take one damage per active damage frame and regenerate health much faster than you lose it. When used together, a Regeneration Potion, Campfire and Heart Lantern will further lower the amount of defense you need down to 60-70. Due to how much defense that is required you will not be able to use this strategy before Hard Mode.
The second way to exploit invincibility frames is to stand right in the middle of a bunch of mob spawning statues that are connected to timers that fire off several times per second. This gives you even more invincibility frames than by standing on Spikes but you will on the other hand be limited in the ways you can fight like this since the spawned mobs will soak up all the damage from normal attacks. The Horseman's Blade works extremely well with such a setup since each strike from it summons homing pumpkin heads that deal a lot of damage. There are several ways to wire the timers so that they go off frequently. Here's a good reference build that was made by DicemanX and posted on the official Terraria forums: Frost Moon Final Wave in Record Time (Horseman's Blade Semi-Autofarm) | Terraria Community Forums
Note: These exploits have all been patched in the current PC version so it is likely that they will stop working in the PS4 and Xbox One version too when those receive the next update in 2017. If you're playing on version 1.09 or lower, then they will still work.
Artificial biomes:
If you want to farm enemies that only spawn in a certain biome and can't find a good naturally generated spot for that, then you can create one yourself by placing enough biome specific blocks in close proximity of each other. The official Terraria wiki has a good guide on how to do that for each biome: Guide: Artificial biomes - Official Terraria Wiki
Farming enemies with a lava trap:
You're going to be doing a lot of tedious farming if you want to get all the trophies on your own. The best way to farm for rare enemies and drops is to create dig a shallow hole, fill it with a thin layer of lava then position yourself right below it so that enemies will get killed by the lava when they pass by. Understanding how NPC spawning works is crucial in order to build an effective lava trap setup: NPC Spawning - Official Terraria Wiki
World size
A smaller world size lets you get around faster and find places like the Jungle Temple more easily but it comes at the cost of the world having less resources such as Life Crystals and floating islands compared to a larger world. If you're playing co-op it's recommended to use a large world and for solo playthrough, a small world works better.
