How to unlock the Rock Bottom achievement in Terraria - Definitive Guide
MAKING A HELLEVATOR
1. A fast pickaxe is recommended since this will require a lot of digging.
2. Make a hole leading straight down, at least two blocks wide (I recommend five because you can add walls later and line it with material to keep enemies out).
3. Place platforms across at intervals to prevent falling damage, or bring some buckets of water and drop them at the bottom to make a little safe landing area.
4. Add some light sources.
5. You can make branches out to the sides (and add doors) to access underground areas for mining ore or exploring.
6. You can also make this go up into the sky if you are going for Icarus as well.
The further underground you go, the harder enemies become. Eventually you will reach "The Underworld", which has a black volcanic looking background with no walls. You need to make your way to the bottom of the screen. You must have a Demonic Pickaxe or better to mine the Hellstone down there or other materials, but you can dig through the ash blocks if you want to go for it. This is the area where you throw in the Guide Voodoo Doll to summon the Wall of Flesh.
If you built a hellevator, then you can go into "The Underworld" and come back to the surface to get:
QUICK SOLUTION
***Same as 360 version***
1. Make a world with the seed 'Don't Dig Up'.
2. Use your Copper Pickaxe and start mining the Ash Blocks below you.
3. Dig until you hit the bottom. Once you hit the bottom block you should get the achievement.
Why is this solution better?
With this seed, you start in hell and you dig up to get to the overworld. There are no special structures below you, just Ash Blocks. By using this seed, you do not need to make a hellevator and you can pop the achievement much quicker.
Dig down until you reach the Underworld. It is recommended to bring an Obsidian Skin Potion before you go down there since the lava kills you very fast unless you have protection against it. A pickaxe that can mine Hellstone is also recommended but not required. The trophy will unlock when the screen stops scrolling down and you can't go further down.
The bottom of the world is called the Underworld, filled with lava and annoying monsters. The achievement pops when you reach the absolute lowest point of the map. Once you get to the Underworld, you can either dig your way down through the ash, or find an empty gap. Don't worry, you won't fall off the world.
It's best to wait until you're ready to mine Hellstone before doing this. The fastest way to get down there is to find a nice place near your spawn point (I always use my basement), point your cursor directly below you, and start digging. You'll automatically dig out a three block wide tunnel, which you can then use for quick access to the Underworld. A Diving Helmet, Diving Gear, or Gills Potion can be very handy when you encounter pockets of water. You can then either just wait until you get to the Underworld to let the water drain out (hopefully on lava), or dig out additional pockets off to the side of the tunnel for the water to drain into.
