The Very Beginning
1: Go make a proper weapon instead of your shortsword.
2: Create as many NPC houses as you want. (We want one for the Demolitionist)
3: Go mining.. We need to gather some Bombs (or Grenades)
4: Go get yourself 15 Gems (Recommended is Topaz and above or a Hook from Skeletons/Piranhas)
5: Go back up.. We should now have the Demolitionist, so just go buy a bunch of Grenades (Two stacks of 99 should be good) and maybe some additional Bombs if you don't have that many.. (15 or more)
6: Create a bunch of Wooden Platforms, we need a long walkway.
7: Build the walkway in the Corruption, should be high enough so you can avoid getting hit by the Eater of Worlds. (Don't build too high either.. if you jump out of the corruption he-she will despawn!
8: Gather enough materials for 2-3 Worm Food (2 = 60 Vile Powder, 30 Rotten Chunk)
9: Get up on the Walkway and use the Worm Food and just keep throwing grenades at the EoW.
10: Now that you have a bunch of Demonite Ore and Shadow Scales.. build some Armor and a Demon Bow.
11: Go straight to the Dungeon!
12: Build a long straight path on the ground near the dungeon. (100 blocks or more)
13: Talk the Old Man and click Curse!
14: Keep shooting at Skeletron with your new Bow and he should be dead rather quickly!
15: Enter the Dungeon and farm for a bunch of Gold Keys cause we will need to find the Handgun!
16: The Handgun will be a vital weapon as we need it for the Wall of Flesh and The Twins! (Remember to grab a Water Candle!)
17: We need a good pair of Wings when fighting The Twins
18: Go gather some Gravitation Potions!
19: Drink them up and start looking for a Floating Island
20: Now that we have found a Floating Island.. build some Lava Traps around the building. (Place that Water Candle in the building for higher spawn rate!)
21: Wait!
22: Oh you got the Giant Harpy Feather?! Nice!
23: Let's go to hell shall we? ;)
24: Oh yea.. you should probably get a Nightmare Pickaxe first.. whops.
25: Let's go to hell now!
26: Go get enough materials for a Phoenix Blaster and we should be good! (And craft it!)
27: Go get some Necro Armor!
28: Alright so we got that Armo...A Metorite has landed!.. Ohh Nice! Go mine some Meteorite!
29: Buy a bunch of Musket Balls!
30: Now go craft a bunch of Meteor Shots!
31: Go back to hell!
32: Build a very long straight path out of Ash Blocks! (Ash Blocks are recommended!) 300 blocks or more should be good!)
33: Farm for a Guide Voodoo Doll!
34: Throw that Doll in the Lava!
35: Just keep shooting the Wall of Flesh in the eye and he should be dead rather quickly!
36: Pick up all that loot! (Farm for some more if you want a Ranger Emblem)
Post-Hardmode
37: Go break a bunch of Demon Altars!
38: Hopefully it's Palladium Ore! If it is.. Craft the full set of armor with a Helmet! (Or get a full set of Mythril Armor)
39: Go back to a Floating Island and kill a few Wyverns until you have 20 Souls of Flight.
40: Go craft a pair of Harpy Wings!
41: Go gather materials for a Mechanical Eye!
42: Go get a few Potions! (Always helpful)
43: Spawn The Twins!
44: Kill Spazmatism first! (Remember to use your Phoenix Blaster!)
45: Now Kill Retinazer!
46: Go get your loot!
47: Go to the Underground Hallow
48: Gather 20 Crystal Shards
49: Go Back Home!
50: Go to the Underground Corruption or Hell below it!
51: Kill enough Enemies to get 12 Souls of Night
52: Go Back Home!
53: Find a Wizard if you haven't by now.
54: Buy the Harp from the Wizard
55: Craft the Magical Harp!
56: And now buy the Crystal Ball!
57: Place that Crystal Ball! (You got it! ;) )
58: We need to find some materials for the Mechanical Worm! (6 Rotten Chuck, 6 Souls of Night, 5 Iron Bar/Lead Bar)
59: Gather some more Potions if you feel like it for more defense and magic power (Or maybe some higher tier Armor)
60: Build a proper arena of Platforms to quickly maneuver its Lasers and Probes.
61: Spawn him! and keep the cursor as close to your character as possible for super slow notes!
62: That was really easy wasn't it? :P
63: Let's just craft that Megashark! Go buy some Illegal Gun Parts and a Minishark!
64: Go kill some sharks and acquire some Shark Fins! 5 should be good ;)
65: Build the Megashark!
66: Go kill the Twins a few times more for more Hallowed Bars!
67: Craft the Hallowed Ranger Set!
68: Gather materials for Skeletron Prime! (30 Bones, 3 Souls of Light, 3 Souls of Night, 5 Iron/Lead Bars)
69: Get some more Potions (This will be harder!)
70: Use the same Arena as before if it was large enough.. you want a lot of space to move around here!
71: I would suggest some really good bullets for the Megashark here.. I recommend Ichor/Crystal Bullets!
72: Spawn Skeletron Prime and drink up your potions!
73: Just shoot at its face while he/she's not rolling around and shoot at the tools/weapons when he/she is!
74: And he/she should be relatively easy to beat.
75: Now save 1 Soul of Fright! and craft the Pickaxe Axe.
76: Mine the Chlorophyte in the jungle!
77a: Since you already have a Megashark.. just get the Chlorophyte ranger armor and destroy a Plantera's Bulb and fight him! If you have some Heart Statues connected to timers around an Arena this fight should be over in a few minutes! :)
77b: Alternatively you can use the Magical Harp as it does an insane amount of damage quickly in small areas! (Use 2 teleporters for quick maneuvering, if you want to avoid getting hit.)


This was my first attempt at a guide.. so go crazy with your criticism :)
This was also more of a quick step by step guide for those who just wants something as simple as that! :)

Wikipedia is so useful when it comes to terraria/ark survival evolved

The Magical Harp requires Pixie Dust, Harp, Souls of Sight and Souls of Night.

All the crafting materials are found on the Gamepedia ;)

Of course Plantera is easy with Post-Plantera weapons and beyond :P

This is a guide from Pre-Hardmode -> Plantera
