September 8, 2022Are there any tips for getting hellstone?
Explosives do not work on Hellstone. Try this: Start mining Hellstone and point your character towards the Fire Imps. This will allow you to block their fireballs with your pickaxe. For Bone Serpents try this method. You might want to create this before you start mining your Hellstone so if you have the misfortune of being attacked you can just run to your platform.

No, it is not possible to obtain hellstone without having demonite/crimtane ore. The demonite/crimtane tier pickaxe is the only way to obtain hellstone. Additionally, the enemies in hell are a lot more dangerous than those found in the corruption/crimson.
Since you said you've beaten the Eye of Cthulhu, you should have access to the Dryad. Buy some purification powder from her, and tunnel down near the edge of the crimson/corruption biome. This allows you to the safety of your own tunnel to smash some orbs/hearts. The first orb/heart you break contains a gun (Musket/Undertaker), which is more than capable to deal with any corruption/crimson enemies. Be careful to only smash two orbs/hearts; if you smash a third, it automatically summons the boss.
In prior playthroughs without access to the Dryad, I've gotten grenades/bombs from pots to trigger the arrival of the demolitionist, purchased bombs, then combined them with gel (sticky bombs) to make it easier to tunnel sideways into the corruption/crimson. This allowed me to obtain a gun in the relative safety of my own tunnel that I can easily wall off.

Also, try not touching it. That's where the bulk of the damage comes from ... JUST DO IT! ... Well, go very down for mine, it s safer (bats), and have a weapon it can shoot across block for kill who shoot fire ball like the death scythe (in solar eclipse, the black ghost, those can cross block), and make a hole below metal and you first then lava down in the hole and you can mine with no problem, some obsidien skin potion could be usefull too.

Craft a lot of Obsidian Skin Potions and go ahead! You need fireblossom, waterleaf, obsidian and water bottle to craft them.They work 4 mins and each one can get you some stacks of hellstone. Hope this help you.

Make an inside an obsidian head and equip it. It will let you be immune to fire blocks. Then just find a safe place to mine the hellstone because once you mine it, it will let out lava. An easy way is to mine over it with something in between you and the he llstone then mine it. I got 93 hellstone doing that.
