ArenaĪs usual with Terraria bosses a small arena before the boss fight is almost necessary. So plan your strategy in accordance to that. Before reading this, take into consideration that beating a boss is supposed to be a challenge and to be fun. That said, the wiki guides may be a bit cumbersome to read, and sometimes a more condensed guide could be useful. I'm aware of the 'cheesing' tactics prior to 1.3.0.5 (using spikes to avoid damage), but those have been patched out of the game and are no longer viable.Īequitas's comment contains a link to the strategies page of the Terraria Gamepedia, here, this page contains most of what you would need in regards to tips and possible setups for the Moon Lord. What strategies exist to better even the odds? At the moment, it seems like the player is guaranteed to be at a major disadvantage, no matter how equipped they are. Adding to all of this the fact that you have to run the lunar events again (burning 15 to 20 minutes in the process), makes this a frustrating experience. I've tried using the Phantasm with Holy Arrows, and that did great to start, but I eventually run low on health and he one-shots me (which is frustrating). His health stats are so high that, even with terrific end-game weapons, it takes a long time to bring each piece of him down.His attacks are difficult to dodge, even with the Cosmic Car Key.Even with a 45-second cooldown, there's not enough health-restored-per-second to deal with his damage. This results in the player relying solely on healing potions. The Moon Bite debuff prevents all life-leech capability ( Vampire Knives, for example).That said, I simply don't see how defeating this boss is even remotely possible (even in vanilla, non-expert mode): Being the final boss of the game, I'm aware that the Moon Lord is considerably harder than all prior bosses.
