Terraria: Defeat Moon Lord - the best tips
When you play Terraria, you will encounter a variety of bosses during your adventure. The Moon Lord is one of them. Here we explain how you can defeat him without any problems.
Summon Moon Lord in Terraria
The Moon Lord, also known as the lord of the moon in German, represents the final boss in Terraria. Up to now he has only appeared in the PC version, the update is planned for consoles.
- The lord of the moon will spawn when you defeat all four Celestial Towers / Pillars. These are Solar Pillar, Vortex Pillar, Nebula Pillar and Stardust Pillar.
- These four strong opponents appear again when the Lunar Event is triggered. This can only happen once the Boss Golem has been defeated.
- Moon Lord can also be summoned when you use the Celestial Seal. You can create this with 20 units of Solar, Vortex, Nebula and Stardust fragments each.
Tips for defeating the moonlord
The boss has a total of 145, 000 life points, which are divided into 25, 000 per hand, 45, 000 points for the head and 50, 000 points for the core.
- If you play as a magician, we recommend that you use spectral armor for combat to deal magic damage to nearby enemies and heal yourself.
- The beetle armor is also a good option because it has one of the highest defense values and you increase damage and speed with the small beetles.
- It is also advisable to take a strong bow with a long range (e.g. Phantasm) and a powerful melee weapon (e.g. Flairon).
- For tactics, we advise you to destroy his head as soon as possible. Also focus on one eye - whether on the head or on one hand - and put it out of action.
- Once an eye is destroyed, Moon Lord can no longer attack. Then, however, he summons a True Eye of Cthulhu, an enemy you should take out as soon as possible.
- In addition, the lord of the moon uses laser beams time and again to harm you. Always be prepared to dodge at the right moment.
- Also, watch out for his tongue, which he can use to hold you in place and temporarily prevent healing from your weapons and armor.
- When you have defeated the eyes in your hands and head, a hole in his chest opens and you can now destroy the heart and finally defeat it.
