The Chlorophyte in Terraria

In normal Terraria gameplay, the Chlorophyte Ore is invaluable for many reasons. For instance, you can make the newest armor set with an excellent headpiece for hybrid builds. You can also craft valuable bullets that make any boss fight easy!

Unfortunately, the game devs have to nerf the item. This results in lesser spawn chance and slight risk and difficulty when mining the ore. However, we offer a solution that could rake you in hundreds, if not thousands, in quantity! So, read this guide to learn how to farm unlimited Chlorophyte in Terraria.

Chlorophyte Explained

The Chlorophyte is a Hardmode ore in the Underground Jungle biome. Upon defeating the Wall of Flesh and entering Hardmode, it’ll spawn and spread through Mud blocks. It’s similar in terms of behavior as Crimson, Corruption, and Hallow biomes convert blocks, albeit with variable speed.

Even though you can find Chlorophyte Ores in the world, you can’t mine it until you have at least 200 Pickaxe Power. The Drax or Pickaxe Axe can do just that, but defeating all three mechanical bosses is a must to get both tools’ crafting pieces. Once you have the necessary materials, you can now start mining.

When traversing the Underground Jungle, we recommend equipping a pair of Wings and a reliable Mount. The Ancient Horn (that spawns a damaging Basilisk Mount on maximum movement) is a perfect example. Hooks are more than welcome to refresh your Wings’ flight duration.

Since spotting Chlorophyte can get tricky, add Spelunker Potions to your Inventory. You can make one by bringing Bottled Water, Blinkroot, Gold Ore, and Moonglow at an Alchemy Table. The Placed Bottle crafting station will also do, but resource return is not guaranteed.

Mining and Farming Unlimited Chlorophyte

When mining, don’t take every piece. Since Chlorophyte can spread through Mud Blocks, it’s best to leave a small amount so you can gather more later. You can repeat the same process near your base. Here are the steps:

1. Construct your Chlorophyte Farm in the Cavern layer. The distance will depend on your world size. Equipping the Depth Meter accessory or listening to the background music will determine if you’re in the said location.

2. As you’re using Mud Blocks, beware of the spread of Crimson, Corruption, or Hallow biome. It’ll ruin your farm, yielding you negative results. We recommend protecting it with bricks or any other non-corruptible blocks. Otherwise, purge the evil biome with our comprehensive guide here.

3. Your farm in Terraria must be 7×7 in height and width. Those blocks shall then be 40 blocks apart to facilitate a faster growth rate, albeit the percentage isn’t consistent.

What Can You Do With Chlorophyte in Terraria?

There are good and a few excellent items you can make in-game. But first, you need an Adamantite or Titanium Forge to smelt Chlorophyte Ores into Bars. To make one, combine 1 Hellforge with 30 Adamantite Ores or Titanium Ores.

Here are some of the best picks we have when synthesizing Chlorophyte Bars:


1. Drill Containment Unit

Materials to Bring40 Chlorophyte Bars, Hellstone Bars, Meteorite Bars, Luminite Bars, Shroomite Bars & Spectre Bars
Crafting StationMythril Anvil / Orichalcum Anvil

This unique mount lets you dig extremely quickly without needing any Pickaxe or Drill. It offers the strongest mining power and speed in Terraria. However, using any buff potions won’t stack, which is good for saving resources.

If you haven’t made Hellevators to contain the Crimson or Corruption biome, you should make the Drill Containment Unit.

2. Chlorophyte Bullets

Materials to Bring1 Chlorophyte Bar & 70 Musket Balls
Crafting StationMythril Anvil / Orichalcum

Is it hard to aim in boss fights? Crafting Chlorophyte Bullets in Terraria makes everything easier in Terraria, especially if you’re a ranged user. With more focus, you can exploit Hoiks and Teleporters easily with little attention to pay.

While the bullet may sound like a game-changer, Terraria has to balance things out. One of them is lesser damage, making fights a tad bit longer than if you’re using other types.

3. True Excalibur

Materials to Bring (Terra Blade upgrade)1 Broken Hero Sword, True Night’s Edge, True Excalibur
Crafting StationMythril Anvil / Orichalcum Anvil

Making the True Excalibur in Terraria is mandatory if you adapt close-range gameplay. Not only can it hit six bodies in one strike, but it’s also essential for crafting a stronger sword, the Terra Blade.

The True Excalibur is one of the best weapons to wield during the Solar Eclipse event. Not to mention, you’ll get the Broken Hero Sword crafting material to complete your upgrade!

4. Turtle armor set

Materials to Bring3 Turtle Shells & 54 Chlorophyte Bars
Crafting StationMythril Anvil / Orichalcum Anvil

Imagine the Pre-Hardmode Cactus armor set but buffed. That’s what the promising Turtle armor counterpart offers when you save enough ingredients to craft the set.

Wearing every piece gives you +750 aggro, +15% damage reduction (on desktop, mobile, and console versions), +14% melee attack, and +12% melee crit chance. Moreover, the Thorns effect deals double damage to enemies, which makes you last longer in Multiplayer boss fights in Master Mode.

Note: Chlorophyte Bars also let you craft the Chlorophyte armor set. Overall, the Hallowed armor is better because of its passive set bonus, allowing you to dodge enemy attacks.

Boss in Terraria.

Behind Terraria’s facade of letting players be creative with what they build, the game’s lore runs deep. The storyline’s main point is to help the Dryad restore order to your world, which involves fighting bosses.

From Pre-Hardmode to Hardmode, you’ll encounter several challenging enemies, from floating eyes and gigantic worms to aggressive plants and pillars. All of them are crucial for progressing and ultimately finishing the game.

This guide will talk about every boss in Terraria. We’ve provided all you have to know, including all ways to spawn, items dropped, and general fighting tips.

How Many Bosses Are There in Terraria?

Excluding those from Martian Madness and Pirate Invasion’s Martian Saucer and Flying Dutchman, there are 19 bosses. Thirteen are necessary for progression, five are optional, and one is exclusive in a secret world seed.

As a starting player, it’s generally best to gather pieces of Wood to make Platforms for building your Arena. Moreover, there are Pre-Hardmode armor sets in Terraria that you should wear to increase your survivability.

King Slime (optional)

Health (Classic / Expert / Master)Damage (Classic / Expert / Master)Knockback ImmunityDefense
2000 / 2800 / 357040 / 64 / 96Total10

The King Slime may be less lethal than the Eater of Worlds or Brain of Cthulhu, but it can annoy new players. Once in your world, the boss will bounce back and forth, occupying some significant space. Moreover, the King Slime will teleport to your location should you attempt to escape.

Dealing with this boss requires platforms to lessen your risk of taking damage, as his bounce attack is hard to dodge. Platforms are relatively easy to craft, so there’s no need to overthink how many to place. But it’s a good rule to make your arena as long as your PC screen’s size to be sure.

To spawn the Slime King, you can either:

  • Kill 150 Slimes during the Slime Rain event.
  • Use a Slime Crown, crafted from 20 Gels and 1 Gold Crown or Platinum Crown at a Demon Altar or Crimson Altar.

Note: King Slime is immune to Confused, Poisoned, and Shimmering debuffs. As more hits he takes, he’ll shrink and spawn regular Slimes.

Defeating King Slime will yield various rewards, depending on your Terraria difficulty. Aside from 1 Gold Coin / 2 Gold Coins & 50 Silver Coins, the table below shows all possible drops:

Total12 (first phase) 

0 (second phase)

The Eye of Cthulhu is one boss some players may not expect to spawn, especially if they’re progressing a little quicker. Facing this enemy is crucial as it’s the key to upgrading your weapons to your world’s evil biome equivalent. For example, you can craft the Blood Butcherer from Crimson or Light’s Bane from Corruption.

As always, you need a flat space to fight the Eye of Cthulhu. The same rules apply with platforms, only adding more rooms to jump from and to. The boss is more than enthusiastic to reap your life essence, as it spawns the Servants of Cthulhu (Demon Eyes but can phase through walls).

Once it shows its teeth, you’re close to defeating the Eye of Cthulhu, but it also means the boss’ attack will be more aggressive. While there are no additional eyes to care for, it’s best to have good mobility before contending this murderous eyeball.

To spawn the Eye of Cthulhu, you can either:

  • Wait for the boss, with a 33.33% chance of spawning naturally. But you need 200 total HP, three or more Town NPCs, and a minimum 10 defense.
  • Use a Suspicious Looking Eye. One way is to craft the boss-summoning item by bringing 6 Lenses at a Crimson Altar or Demon Altar. Alternatively, loot Frozen Chests, Gold Chests, and Ivy Chests (20%) in the Underground.

Note: The Eye of Cthulhu is immune to the Confused debuff. If you have the Bee Keeper from Queen Bee, it won’t work.

Ice Spike (26 / 52 / 76)

Debris (36 / 72 / 108)

Shadow Hand (20 / 40 / 60)
Total10

The Deerclops is originally a boss from another game Terraria has crossover with, Don’t Starve Together. The loot you get from your effort is something to look forward to after defeating this monster.

While fighting the Deerclops is unnecessary, we recommend doing it anyway because of the weapon drop. Summoners, Rangers, and Magic users will benefit from Houndius Shootius, Pew-matic Horn, and Weather Pain. But with all good output, your input must stay at the top.

First, prepare a multi-floor arena with stairs on each end (that must be climbable by Deerclops). Note that the boss has several attacks, including Ice Spikes, Debris, and Shadow Hand. By building said stairs, you’re reducing the chance of him using the ranged Debris ability. But be wary not to build too high, or Deerclops will use the Shadow Hand attack.

When fighting, you should dodge Deerclops at all times. Reducing the chance of facing his two ranged attacks leaves you with the Slow debuff-inflicting Roar and Icy Spikes, which are predictable. From your previous Eye of Cthulhu fight, consider movement accessories and lots of Healing Potions.

You may spawn the Deerclops through:

  • Staying in the Surface Ice biome where Blizzard will randomly occur. It should be midnight. Moreover, you should have a minimum of nine defense or 200 HP. The spawn point should also be far away from any Town NPCs.
  • Using the Deer Thing, which you can make by combining 1 Lens, 3 Flinx Furs, and 5 Demonite Ores at a Crimson Altar or Demon Altar.

Note: The Deerclops has debuff immunity to Confused and Shimmering. You should watch out for Slow and Frozen debuffs you may get while battling the boss.

TotalEach parts have varying defense:

Head (2 / 4)

While many segmented worms will try taking you down in the Corruption biome, consider Eater of Worlds the final boss (in Pre-Hardmode). This massive murderous flesh buries itself from the ground, launching a surprise attack, then repeating the process until you’re down.

If you’re victorious over the Eye of Cthulhu, we recommend converting your Demonite Bars into Light’s Bane or Demon Bow. Both weapons offer higher DPS than any other of their metal counterparts.

Fighting the Eater of Worlds is as simple as building an elevated arena (made from platforms you can climb on). However, make sure it’s within the biome, or the boss will disappear. We also recommend doing it on the surface, as tracking the Eater of Worlds underground is harder.

As soon as the Eater of Worlds takes damage, it’ll soon split into different segments. But you’ll manage by keeping or upgrading your movement accessories and having a good armor set

Spawning the Eater of Worlds can be easy as:

  • Breaking three Shadow Orbs from the Underground Corruption.
  • Using a Worm Food, which you can make by combining 15 Rotten Chunks and 30 Vile Powders at a Crimson Altar or Demon Altar.

Note: The Eater of Worlds has an immunity to Confused debuff. Moreover, there’s a 5% chance the boss will inflict the Weak debuff on contact in non-Classic difficulties.

In Crimson worlds, the Brain of Cthulhu is a must-fight boss for obtaining the same gear as its Corruption counterpart. So, if you choose the Eater of Worlds, that still counts as progression. But from our experience, the former can be hard to beat because of its unpredictable nature.

In reality, it’s easy to beat the Crimson boss. The Underground Crimson has a large space where you can create multi-level platforms to dodge the Brain of Cthulhu and its Creepers’ attacks. You should have a reliable hook or mount from normal progression for total control and knockback resistance.

The first phase involves the Brain’s Creepers, where they’ll reposition every time the boss teleports. Defeating every minion will drop Tissue Samples – essential for crafting the Crimson armor set. Afterward, the Brain of Cthulhu will become aggressive, teleporting faster. The trick is to keep moving and be alert to its next spawn to pre-fire.

To spawn the Brain of Cthulhu, you can:

  • Destroy three Crimson Hearts from the Underground Crimson.
  • Use the Bloody Spine. You can craft the item by bringing 15 Vertebra and 30 Vicious Powder at a Crimson Altar or Demon Altar.

Note: The Brain of Cthulhu won’t suffer from inflicted Confused debuff. However, both Creepers and the boss may inflict various debuffs upon contact in Expert and Master modes. Moreover, the Brain gets trickier to handle in the second phase, where mirror decoys will start appearing.

Melee (30 / 54 / 81)

Ranged (22 / 44 / 66)
Total8 / 8 to 28 (health-dependent)

Technically, you can fight whichever boss you like to go down first. But in the case of Queen Bee, traversing the Underground Jungle is dangerous because of Hornets and Man-eaters. The former inflicts the Poisoned debuff, draining health over time and reducing regeneration capabilities. While less dangerous, the latter can launch surprise attacks if you’re not observant.

Regardless, fighting the Queen Bee requires at least your pre-obtained Crimson or Shadow armor sets and 300 HP minimum. If you’re not following the Boss Progression Guide, you may opt for Gold or Platinum armor instead.

The Queen Bee’s attacks include firing a Poisonous Stinger, contact damage from the boss, and chasing bees. We recommend setting up an arena with another jumpable level. Its purpose is to reach her when she’s releasing homing bees. Then let the sentry, like the Explosive Trap Rod, pop them.

Once the previous attack is finished, the Queen Bee will charge from left to right, which is predictable after a while. This point is where your climbable platforms come into play. Time everything right, pop her as quickly as possible, and you’ll win.

Spawning the Queen Bee is easy (but sometimes annoying):

  • Pop a Larva you can find inside walls of Bee Hives. Be careful around this area, as you may accidentally summon the boss.
  • Use the Abeemination. You can make it by combining 1 Bottled Honey & Stinger, 5 Hives, and 5 Honey Blocks. No crafting needed is necessary in this case.

Note: You can’t inflict the Confused and Poisoned debuff on Queen Bee.

What we don’t like about the Skeletron is its lethality in daytime – capable of one-shotting if you’re too slow at defeating the boss. However, you don’t have to fight it when the sun shines. Our advice: start by 7:30 PM.

Before the fight, it’d help if you build a multi-level platform that’s lengthy enough to dodge the Skeletron’s attacks. Moreover, fast-moving Mounts are more than welcome as an alternative to movement-enhancing accessories.

Depending on your class, we recommend opting for the following Pre-Hardmode armor sets:

  • Crimson or Shadow for melee
  • Jungle for magic
  • Fossil for ranged
  • Bee for summoner

Yoyos and Flails are good weapons as both specialize in damaging multiple hitboxes. If you’re dodging skills isn’t competitive enough, that’s okay. You can survive the Skeletron’s blows, and recovering with a Lesser Healing Potion can help. You may also consider Campfires, Heart Lanterns, and Sunflowers for extra regeneration and movement speed. Add combat potions, too, if you will.

There are two ways you can spawn this boss in Terraria:

  • Talk to the Old Man at the Dungeon’s entrance. We recommend having more than 300 HP to do this. Afterward, the NPC will offer to “curse” him, spawning Skeletron.
  • Equip the Clothier Voodoo Doll in the Accessory Slot and kill the Clothier NPC. You can get the item from defeating Angry Bones and Dark Casters inside the Dungeon (0.33% on all modes).

Note: Skeletron’s Head is immune to Blood Butchered, Confused, Penetrated, Poisoned, and Tentacle Spike debuffs. Its Hands will absorb the rest of the debuffs except Confused and Poisoned. In Expert and Master Modes, you’ll get the Bleeding debuff upon contact (Head). The Slow debuff has a halved chance (Hands), albeit still deadly to contract.

Wall of Flesh

The Wall of Flesh in Terraria.

The Wall of Flesh in Terraria is the most resilient Pre-Hardmode boss before you go Hardmode. But before that, we recommend keeping Corruption and Crimson at bay by checking this guide. We’ve provided a step-by-step process on containing both evil biomes‘ spread upon entering a more challenging gameplay.

First, prepare a long arena (about 600 to 800 regular blocks). This boss in Terraria will spawn from the Underworld’s map edge you’re closest to. It’s also pretty tanky, as it combines with The Hungry.

When dealing with the Wall of Flesh, we generally recommend equipping a matching armor set. The Molten armor will be your best choice, with a pair of Night’s Edge and melee-boosting accessories and potions. Gather as much DPS source as you can before running out of space.

Spawning the Wall of Flesh in Terraria is straightforward. You have to throw the Guide Voodoo Doll at the Lava. Remember to use Obsidian Skin Potion to prevent lava contact damage.

Note: Confused, On Fire!, and Hellfire are all debuffs the Wall of Flesh is immune towards. When fighting the boss, you’re automatically inflicted with the Horrified debuff, killing you after using any recall items. The Tongue debuff may also appear, pulling you directly to the Wall of Flesh at a disadvantageous position.

One of two Hallowed biome bosses you can fight in Terraria is the Queen Slime – a Hardmode counterpart to King Slime. This monster is optional, but we recommend it because of its decent drops.

For the platform, at least 350 blocks will do. The game-changing equipment you need is Wings for mobility. If you don’t have one, check our guide here.

Remember: Anything the Queen Slime spits must be disposed of as fast as possible. Failing to do so will overwhelm and eventually kill you. For advanced players, creating Teleporters can help, especially with the boss’ Flying ability.

Summoning the Queen Slime is solely done using the Gelatin Crystal you can find in the Underground Hallow biome.

Note: Inflicting Confused, Poisoned, and Shimmering debuff will do nothing.

The Destroyer BodyThe Destroyer’s Body have two unique attacks:
Melee (55 / 93 / 140)

Death Laser (44 / 72 / 108)
The Destroyer Tail40 / 68 / 102

The Destroyer is one of three mechanical bosses in Terraria – and we consider it the easiest. Although the boss is a robotic version of its Pre-Hardmode counterpart, it now fires lasers.

There are two tricks we recommend if you’re fighting the Destroyer:

1. If your world has the Crimson biome, farm Crimson Mimics until you get the Fetid Baghnakhs. Afterward, go to the Tinkerer and get the best modifier possible (Red rarity). With a decent tankiness, summon the boss and claw your way to victory.

2. The Daedalus Stormbow is another excellent alternative. You can obtain the bow by farming Hallowed Mimics in Terraria. The weapon works by raining arrows from above, which makes aiming easier. Moreover, pairing it with Jester’s Arrow enables piercing, which is The Destroyer’s weakness.

To spawn The Destroyer in Terraria, you can either:

  • Wait. There’s a 10% chance for the boss to spawn naturally once a Crimson Altar or Demon Altar is destroyed using the Pwnhammer. You’ll be informed before its arrival when the message “You feel vibrations from deep below…” pops up.
  • Use the Mechanical Worm. You can synthesize one by bringing 5 Iron Bars or Lead Bars, 6 Souls of Night, and 6 Rotten Chunk or Vertebrae.

Note: It’s best not to consume any debuff-inflicting Potions or Flasks. Focus on adding raw damage and critical strike chance. The Destroyer is immune to all inflicted debuffs.

Second form (28)

After The Destroyer, next on your hitlist is The Twins. This pair of eyeballs have varying attacks – from Cursed Inferno debuffs inflicted by Spazmatism to laser burst the Retinazer spews. In combination, they’re deadly and overwhelming, especially in their second phase.

For melee users, you have a lot of disadvantages fighting The Twins. Both eyes stay far from you while kiting damage, which is horrible. But you’ll have better winning odds when using Ranged or Magic weapons.

For the arena, please don’t forget to make it long enough to run for 15 seconds with a mount on. Much chasing will happen, especially in the bosses’ second phase. Spazmatism’s Cursed Inferno debuff is more lethal than lasers, so make sure to have high mobility.

We recommend defeating Spaz first before Rez. Although, feel free to rain hell on both of them. 

To summon the Twins, you can either:

  • Wait. After destroying a Demon Altar or Crimson Altar using the Pwnhammer, there’s a 10% chance for the boss in Terraria to spawn. Get ready to battle after receiving the message, “This is going to be a terrible night…” popped up below.
  • Use the Mechanical Eye. The materials for making this item are 3 Lenses, 5 Iron Bars or Lead Bars, and Souls of Light. Make sure to have a Mythril Anvil or an Orichalcum Anvil lying around.

Note: The Twins are immune to Poisoned and Confused debuffs.

Unlike the first two mechanical bosses, the Skeletron Prime is less lethal, even if you’re bad at dodging. The caveat is that he’ll chase you, hence the need for a larger arena platform. You may expand an existing one you used when battling the Skeletron from Pre-Hardmode.

You can defeat the Skeletron Prime in many ways, but our two favorites involve playing safe and risky.

The first option requires you to use a Ranged or Magic weapon. For the armor, you can wear one that balances damage and defense – or even hybridize. The combat should focus on blasting Prime Cannon and Prime Laser, as they’ll hit you often. Then, you can follow up by destroying the rest of Skeletron Prime.

The second option is straightforward and similar to the run-and-gun concept. In this case, you’ll need a weapon that offers solid DPS, like Fetid Baghnakhs. Titanium and Hallowed armor sets are your best picks here, with the former offering protection and the latter the dodge ability.

To spawn the Skeletron Prime, you can either:

  • Wait. There’s a 10% chance it’ll appear at night after destroying Altars.
  • Use the Mechanical Skull. Crafting requires 3 Souls of Light and Souls of Night, 5 Iron Bars or Lead Bars, and 30 Bones. Mythril Anvil and Orichalcum Anvil are needed crafting stations.

Note: The Skeletron Prime has immunity to Confused, Poisoned, Blood Butchered, Penetrated, and Distorted debuffs.

Getting the Plantera to spawn in Terraria is tricky if you don’t have horizontal tunnels. But it makes a world of difference if you have one.

Destroying Plantera’s Bulbs is a surefire way to spawn Plantera. You can find them randomly scattered in the Underground Jungle. Don’t pop them yet because you must create an arena first!

You’ll find large openings in the Underground Jungle if you’re lucky. It’s even better if a Bulb is nearby. The same procedures: the arena should be wide enough to move, or you can use your tunnels if things get desperate.

Alternatively, you can exploit Plantera’s behavior by making Teleporters. The idea is simple: Plantera will move slowly to you, with less chance of inflicting damage. As a Ranged or Magic user, position yourself safely and hit the Lever to teleport to the side. In the process, you should be dealing damage. 

Note: Confused and Poisoned debuffs will have no effect on Plantera.

Many Terraria players know that the Golem is the easiest Hardmode boss you can farm for Coins. Plus, almost every Lihzahrd you’ll encounter in the Temple will drop the boss-summoning item, Lihzahrd Power Cell.

If you don’t know where to find a Lihzahrd Temple, we recommend digging down consistently. You may use Bombs to aid your search. If you’re lucky to have horizontal tunnels, even better. Traversing the inside can also be dangerous, so we recommend equipping a tanky armor set with good regenerative capabilities.

Once you’ve located the bottom of the structure, you’ll find an Altar. But don’t summon the boss yet. Preparing an arena with climbable blocks is best to dodge the Golem’s attacks.

If you’re happy with the setup, interact with the Lihzahrd Altar while holding the Lihzahrd Power Cell to spawn the Golem. The boss’ attacks are predictable after a while, and you should have less difficulty defeating it. 

Note: The Golem has resistance to On Fire!, Confused, and Poisoned debuffs.

The Empress of Light is the final Hallowed boss you’ll encounter alongside Queen Slime. Defeating her is extremely rewarding but also challenging to fight. The boss’ drops are good, especially the Terraprisma, adding a significant amount of DPS. However, you need to kill the Empress of Light in the daytime.

The daytime Empress of Light can kill you in one shot, so you can skip that part if you’re a beginner. Still, Eventide and Kaleidoscope are good weapons for your arsenal before fighting the Lunatic Cultist and Moon Lord.

Melee weapons are a no-go when dealing with this boss. Almost all her attacks are ranged, which means you’ll get fewer hits (unless your melee weapon has projectiles). Ranged and Magic weapons will do just fine, but remember, you’ll need high mechanical skills!

An arena with at least 400 blocks per row will serve as your base. Afterward, you can repeat that three to four times with at least a 30-block gap. Your equipment must include high regeneration properties and a decent mix of tankiness. Of course, you can max out DPS if you’re confident dodging her attacks. You might get killed here and there, but practice makes perfect!

During the fight, the Empress of Light releases chasing projectiles, charges aggressively, and emits light beams with little space to take cover. But that’s where your Wings and Mounts come into play.

To spawn the Empress of Light, kill a Prismatic Lacewing you can find in the Hallowed biome.

Note: The Empress of Light’s only debuff immunity is Confused. Other DPS-inducing items will help you defeat this Terraria boss.

TotalFirst form: 50 (100 if enraged)

Second form: 40 (100 if enraged)

Duke Fishron may have less health than other Hardmode bosses in Terraria, but he compensates by putting up a good fight. Post-Golem, you’ll have good weapons to obtain, including those from the Martian Madness event. But if you’re hybridizing magic and summoner damage, you may want to get loot from fighting this boss.

Our favorite tactic against Duke Fishron is similar to Plantera’s setup. You’ll need to make the same arena with Teleporters while encased in a safe space. The Megashark is a good gun we recommend, although your bullets better be Chlorophyte to aid in aiming. Combine that with Flasks and Potions, and you’re good to go.

Spawning Duke Fishron is easy. Go to the Ocean biome and use the Truffle Worm as bait. Cast your Fishing Pole, reel in, and you’ll find yourself in a fight. To catch the Truffle Worm, go to the Glowing Mushroom biome and use Bug Nets.

Note: Some Flasks with good damage over time effects will help since Duke Fishron is only immune to Confused and Stunned debuffs (first phase). During phase two, he’ll no longer receive damage from Poisoned, Acid Venom, On Fire!, and Frostburn.

The Lunatic Cultist is technically a mini-boss because of its easy difficulty. However, triggering the Celestial Pillar events is an important step, then Moon Lord.

Your armor set and weapons are as good as it is from your Golem fight. The same arena from your Skeletron and Skeletron Prime are also viable.

To spawn the Lunatic Cultist, you must kill all Cultists in the surface Dungeon.

Note: The Lunatic Cultist is immune to On Fire! Debuff. This means you can inflict him debuffs that deal damage over time. There’s no turning back once you’ve defeated this boss in Terraria. Consider all preparations for the final battle.

After defeating all Celestial Pillars, the Moon Lord will spawn after sixty seconds. However, you may also summon him using a Celestial Sigil made from 12 Solar Fragment, Vortex Fragment, Nebula Fragment, and Stardust Fragment at an Ancient Manipulator.

We recommend using your current best armor from the previous tips above. This ranges from Spectre armor (hood build), Turtle armor, or Valhalla Knight armor.

The most important factor for survivability is dodging the Moon Lord’s attacks by moving a lot. You may die a few times, but you’ll defeat him eventually.

Note: The Moon Lord is immune to Confused and Shimmering debuffs. You may add damage over time to the final boss in Terraria. However, be careful with its Moon Bite debuff, which prevents health regeneration.

Terraria Martian Madness Event: How to Spawn (Full Guide 2023) https://avidgamer.gg/terraria-martian-madness-how-to-spawn/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=terraria-martian-madness-how-to-spawn Sun, 20 Aug 2023 07:38:02 +0000 https://avidgamer.gg/?p=8805 More...]]>
The player encountering a Martian Probe in Terraria (that summons the Martian Madness Event.
A Martian onslaught is about to happen!

Martian Madness is one of many exciting events you can trigger in Terraria after meeting some requirements. It’s critical to face waves in this invasion as you’ll get useful items such as Xenopopper, Charged Blaster Cannon, and Xeno Staff. After all, facing four Celestial Pillars can become a nuisance with outdated gear.

In this short guide, we’ve shown how to trigger the mentioned event. We’re also including notable loots.

Martian Madness in a Nutshell

This event consists of Martian Saucers and Scutlixes, to name a few aliens, invading your world. Like the Goblin and Pirate Invasion, killing enemies will fill up the progress bar until 100%. After that, aliens will stop spawning.

The invasion is one we recommend facing before progressing further in-gameItems you’ll get are great before facing the few final bosses in Terraria, especially if you’re on a harder difficulty.

How to Spawn the Martian Madness

To activate the event, make sure to meet the following requirements:

  • Let the Martian Probe escape after detecting you. The Martian Probe is a jellyfish-like robot, emitting green scanners similar to a Wi-Fi icon. The scanners will turn red if it detects you and then attempts to leave. You can find this entity in the outer two-thirds of the map on the Sky and Space layersWe recommend equipping the Lifeform Analyzer.
  • 200 total HP.
  • Go near any NPC with a valid housing or the spawn point.
  • Golem is defeated.

The Martian Probe is a rare entity. As initiating the event is important, using a Water Candle and Battle Potion will increase the spawn rate. If any other invasions occur, skip the day/night before approaching the entity.

Item Drops

Terraria: 5 Ways to Get Wings Easily (Full Guide 2023) https://avidgamer.gg/terraria-how-to-get-wings/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=terraria-how-to-get-wings Sun, 20 Aug 2023 06:54:23 +0000 https://avidgamer.gg/?p=8912 More...]]>
The player looting a Skyware Chest, interacting with the Angler, and defeating Betsy to get Wings in Terraria.
Different ways to get Wings.

Because of Terraria’s vast world, exploration is a must to progress. From the Forest you spawn into to Underground biomes, every location is crucial for completing the game. Hence, walking with a maximum of 15 mph won’t budge, let alone escape from some enemies trying to “erase” your existence.

Aside from Boots and Balloons are Wings that greatly help in your mobility. A pair lets you cover a lot more distance faster while completely removing the fall damage you get. Because of their functionality, most players use a couple to defeat Bosses quickly.

In this guide, we’ll help you how to get Wings in Terraria. We include comparison stats so you can choose wisely from our five methods.

1. Crates and Chests

Before using this method, note that you can get Fledgling Wings upon creating a Journey Mode character. If you’re a non-Journey player, you can still get the same equipment through Gravitation Potions and Floating Islands.

Crafting the Gravitation Potion takes time, so we recommend finding Chests in Living Trees and Underground. There’s a 66.67% chance of getting the Gravitation Potion, which is a reasonable risk.

Go back to the Surface and consume the Potion. Afterward, keep moving and toggling the “up” button until you find a Floating Island. If you’re lucky, you might get the Fledgling Wings.

Terraria Fledgling Wings 1

Note: If you have land or air movement-enhancing accessories, you may skip this process. After all, you can properly get Wings in Terraria upon reaching Hardmode.

2. Complete Angler’s Quests

The Angler in Terraria is one of many available NPCs you’ll encounter on the Beach. Interacting with him will open a conversation tab, counting as a Town tenant once you have an available house. Clicking the “Quest” button will show what fish you must catch and its location.

Every successful quest grants several items, from the Fishing set to trophies. However, you may also get the Fin Wings as a reward. Upon reaching Hardmode and the 10-quest-milestone, there’s a one in 70 chance to get the item.

So is it worth the grind? If you’re only opening Terraria to catch fish, yes.

Terraria Fin Wings

3. Crafting

All Crafted Wings in Terraria
Crafting Wings are mostly done with Souls of Flight acquirable in Hardmode.

In Hardmode, new enemies will spawn and bring more crafting materials. One of them is the Wyvern – a dragon-like creature present in the Sky and Space layer. Defeating them always drops five to ten Souls of Flight for crafting certain pairs.

The following table shows all Wings in Terraria you can craft with Souls of Flight. We’ve also included all basic stats and crafting materialsNote: The appropriate crafting station is either a Mythril Anvil or an Orichalcum Anvil.

Terraria Crafted Wings

The next table shows all four endgame pairs you can craft at the Ancient Manipulator:

All Crafted endgame Wings in Terraria
Some Wings need unique materials to craft.

4. Purchasing from NPCs

All bought Wings in Terraria
There are three Wings you can buy from certain NPCs.

After progressing in Hardmode and defeating some Bosses, some NPC will sell Wings in Terraria. A sold pair doesn’t mean it’s worse, but it’ll consistently be outperformed by late-game ones, whether through crafting or looting.

Terraria Sold Wings

5. Defeat Enemies

All Wings you can get from defeating Bosses and Mini-Bosses in Terraria
Of course, you’re rewarded for defeating Bosses.

With tons of monsters in Terraria, you can expect good rewards for your effort in eradicating them. But this method is primarily effective in Hardmode, as no early-game enemy will drop Wings. Consider the following pairs upgrade to your existing ones:

Terraria Boss Wings 1

The following table comprises developer items obtainable through Expert and Master modes only. They come in Treasure Bags from defeating any Hardmode Bosses except the Queen Slime.

Terraria Shimmer: Location, Transmutations & Decrafting https://avidgamer.gg/terraria-shimmer-full-guide-2/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=terraria-shimmer-full-guide-2 Mon, 14 Aug 2023 10:20:57 +0000 https://avidgamer.gg/?p=8795 More...]]>
The Shimmer in Terraria.
The Aether biome containing a handful of Shimmer.

During a 1.4.4 Terraria version update on September 28, 2022, Re-Logic added various content, giving players more gameplay hours. One inclusion is the Shimmer – a rare liquid with unique properties present upon world creation.

This page covers everything about the Shimmer, including its function, location, and transmutations. You’ll also get various permanent boosts from this liquid, so we recommend checking it out!

What is Shimmer and How Does it Work?

The Shimmer appears as a shiny purplish liquid in Terraria. In Pre-Hardmode, you can encounter only a handful compared to an endless amount available upon defeating the Moon Lord. Regardless, the quantity of Shimmer upon the first encounter is enough to perform several unique properties it offers:

Player vs. Shimmer

  • Endless Fall. Getting into contact physically or attempting to fish will let you phase through any blocks until an opening is available. Many Terraria players are using this as an exploit to defeat Enraged Empress of Light and even Master Mode playthroughs.
  • Shimmering Debuff. Once in contact with the liquid, you won’t be able to move or use items. You’re also invincible from non-boss enemies in that state.

Items vs. Shimmer

  • Decrafting. Throwing certain items (table below) will extract their crafting ingredients. This method is good for crafting gear with a chance to get the best modifier possible without paying the Goblin Tinkerer.
  • Resource Return. Throwing certain items (table below) will give back common resources for crafting an item. For example, throwing a Copper Pickaxe in the Shimmer will yield Copper Ores. You can do this to profit or other purposes.
  • Complete Transmutation. Throwing certain items into the Shimmer (table below) will transform into something. Most are useless, like throwing Luminite and downgrading it into Chlorophyte Ores. However, some conversions are valuable, including Vital Crystal from Life Crystal and Arcane Crystal from Mana Crystal.

Note that we’ve included exclusive Shimmer transmutations in the tables below.

NPCs vs. Shimmer

  • Shimmer variants. Faelings and Shimmer Slimes are unique transformations so far. Other enemies coming into contact with the liquid typically become another type of monster.
  • Town NPCs. NPCs coming into contact with the Shimmer will change their appearance. This process has no gameplay effect and is for visual purposes.

Successful item transmutations will float upwards, leaving the liquid and acting like Souls. They remain in that state until you pick them up. The same goes for NPCs, although temporarily. 

However, unsuccessful ones will leave items at the bottom of the Shimmer. Enemies will become invisible as well.

There’s more that’s happening to the Shimmer in Terraria. For example, a Hunter Potion will reveal submerged enemies like Werewolves immune to the Shimmering debuff. But it wouldn’t matter as much unless you’re doing an experiment or using exploits.

Where and How to Find the Shimmer in Terraria

The Aether biome in Terraria's World Map.
The Aether biome in the World Map.

Generating a world in Terraria, regardless of its configuration in the menu, will always have the Shimmer. So as early as Pre-Hardmode, head where the Jungle biome is, and expect it slightly near the Ocean. The Shimmer is precisely located in the Underground or Cavern layer, but you’ll certainly find the Aether as you keep digging down.

The Aether biome has a similar background as the Space layer, so take it as a marker.

In Hardmode, defeating the Moon Lord will grant Luminites, which you can craft into Luminite Bars at an Ancient Manipulator. You can then use those Luminite Bars to make the Bottomless Shimmer Bucket.

While you can always move the Shimmer liquid from the Aether biome to a nearby base through Pumps, we don’t recommend it.

Shimmer Item Decrafting

A Nebula Pickaxe transforming into Nebula Fragment and Luminite Bar (ingredients) upon Shimmer contact.
You can turn most items in Terraria into their ingredients in the Shimer.

This section lists separate tables for items with multiple recipes, special outputs, random ingredients, temporary non-decraftable, and totally non-craftable. We’ll explain every part.

Note: Using the Shimmer, you can decraft most items in Terraria with no problem. However, these are the exceptions:

Random Ingredients

All items in this list are products from using an Alchemy Table or Placed Bottle. The materials you’ll get when submerging them into the Shimmer are random.

Terraria: Wormhole Potion Not Working Fix (Easy Guide 2023) https://avidgamer.gg/terraria-wormhole-potion-not-working-fix/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=terraria-wormhole-potion-not-working-fix Sat, 12 Aug 2023 19:10:08 +0000 https://avidgamer.gg/?p=8739 More...]]>
The Wormhole Potion in Terraria from the Player's Inventory.

Conquering bosses in Terraria can be challenging, but the journey gets more enjoyable when you team up with friends. It’s important to be prepared during your encounter with a boss. If you find yourself or a friend meeting an untimely end, particularly when the boss is a distance away, getting back into the fray becomes a top priority.

That is where the Wormhole Potions come into play. If you’re not familiar with how to use this potion for teleportation, we’ve got you covered with helpful instructions!

What is a Wormhole Potion?

The Wormhole Potion grants you the ability to teleport to your team members. It’s valuable in multiplayer encounters against bosses, especially when restricted to a particular area like the Wall of Flesh battle. 

Fallen comrades can reenter the fray upon revival, but make sure they’re positioned close to the boss. Wormhole Potions have a chance to appear as drops from Pots and Slimes, but this only happens in multiplayer mode. 

You don’t actually need other players to be online for these potions to drop. Simply choose the multiplayer option, host the game, and you’ll be able to gather those potions for yourself.

Alternatively, gather 3 Bottled Water, 1 Specular Fish, and 1 Blinkroot, then combine them on an Alchemy Table or Placed Bottle. Wormhole Potions might surprise you as a bonus drop from Slimes, and solo players can craft it in single-player mode.

How to Use the Wormhole Potion in Terraria

Several players encountered an issue where their Minimap vanishes from their display. Not only were they unable to teleport using a potion, but it also failed them, even if they tried dropping it. 

To add to the frustration, hitting the teleport button yielded no results.

If you find that the Wormhole Potion isn’t working,  keep in mind that it only lets you teleport to your teammates, and the teleport will show up in a status message. If your Minimap is disabled, you can’t use Wormhole Potions. 

To get this done, open up the full-screen map (press “M” on the keyboard, “Start” on a PC controller, “Select” on PlayStation, “Back” on Xbox, and  “Minus” on Nintendo Switch). Once the map is open, locate the friend you wish to teleport to and tap on their icon.

Terraria Floating Islands: 17 Easy Ways to Find Them https://avidgamer.gg/terraria-floating-islands-how-to-find/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=terraria-floating-islands-how-to-find Sat, 12 Aug 2023 18:23:45 +0000 https://avidgamer.gg/?p=8735 More...]]>
The player at a Floating Island in Terraria

Floating Islands are elevated land formations that emerge far above the ground, typically consisting of Dirt Blocks and Rain clouds often drizzling upon them. These islands can be located at varying heights above sea level, contingent upon the size of the world you explore.

If you’re curious about finding these floating Islands, we have put together different ways to help you locate them. Allow us to lead you through the various methods for discovering these Islands.

Ways to Find Floating Islands in Terraria

1. Meteor Shot

The Meteor Shot is a Pre-Hardmode bullet you can start acquiring after defeating the Brain of Cthulhu or Eater of Worlds. Sometime during your gameplay, you’ll see a Meteor in the background, falling into your world. Start mining them and turn them into Meteor Bars and craft them into bullets.

With a gun, shoot upward. Meteor Shots can bounce off a solid block once. If something comes back, there’s a Floating Island above you.

2. Water Bolt

If you’re lucky, you might get the Water Bolt in a Pre-Hardmode Dungeon in Terraria. This elusive magic weapon disguises itself as many countless books on a Brass Shelf. Using the Water Bolt will fire a ricocheting water-ball projectile, albeit slowly.

We recommend doing the same method as using Meteor Shots. Shoot upward and wait for the Water Bolt’s projectile to come back. Remember that this method is a little slower.

3. Teleportation Potion

By this point, you probably figured out alternative ways to find a Floating Island. But if it’s not the case and you’re in Hardmode already, the Teleportation Potion will do. You can make one by combining Bottled Water, Chaos Fish, and Fireblossom each at an Alchemy Table or Placed Bottle.

If you use a Teleportation Potion while you’re on a Floating Island, there’s a higher chance you’ll be teleported to another one close by. It’s like the potion prefers to take you to similar places!

Note: Bring Magic or Ice Mirror in case things go south (i.e., getting teleported to the Lihzahrd Temple instead).

4. Spectate Mode

This method is simple – generate a Hardcore character, die, transform into Ghost, and fly to seek an Island.

5. Utilize Height

At times, Floating Islands that spawn at lower altitudes provide other ways to find them. Observe an Island’s waterfalls while in flight, and Dungeons and Living Trees expose Island’s base from their heights.

6. Wide Pillar

If you have a stack of Dirt or Sand, you can build a tall pillar straight up to check for Floating Islands. This method is challenging, as you’ll face Harpies (and worse, Wyverns), so consider equipping a Hook if you don’t have Wings!

7. Utilizing Rocket Boots & Ivy Whip

You can build a tall pillar using blocks. Once built, you can ascend high into the sky by using the Rocket Boots and an Ivy Whip for traversing to find floatings Islands.

8. High Game Resolution

One effective method to increase the chances of finding floating islands is by adjusting the game’s resolution settings, specifically to a higher value like 1920×1080, if your hardware supports it. To change it, just access the game’s settings menu, look for the video tab, and find the resolution tab.

9. Utilizing Wings and Spectre Boots

You have the option to construct a Sky Bridge, which is a lengthy structure elevated in the sky, typically consisting of a single layer of blocks or platforms. Once it’s complete, you can utilize your Wings and Spectre Boots to glide through the sky, significantly boosting your mobility as you jump from this sky bridge.

10. Gravitation Buff

If you have enough Gravitation Potions, you can use them to control your descent direction, making it possible to find and explore floating islands with efficiency. This effect remains active for 3 minutes.

11. Magic Missile

In Pre-Hardmode, utilize the Magic Missile to locate floating islands, adjusting based on the map’s dimensions. The missile produces a distinct sound that ceases upon being cast toward a floating island.

12. Musket Balls

In a small world with floating islands (about 400-600 feet high), using Musket Balls should work if you lower the music volume. Shoot the sky while moving, and listen for impacts and vine-breaking. If unsure, shoot from a similar angle and position. Avoid hitting from low altitudes. It’s a cost-effective strategy for anyone with a gun.

13. Ice Blade and Frostbrand

Projectiles can also help you locate Floating Islands. You just need to swing the Ice Blade and Frostbrand projectiles upward into the sky and pay attention. If projectiles hit a block, you’ll hear a shattering sound, helping you locate hidden islands.

14. Flying Carpet

The Flying Carpet is an item that grants you the ability to float for 5 seconds. To find a Floating Island with this, you just need to go to an elevated location on the map. Employ your flight boots to advance, taking breaks to prevent any upward or downward motion. Then, transition to a Flying Varpet to maintain forward movement while staying at the same altitude.

15. Water Puddles

Mysterious puddles on the ground might mean there’s a Floating Island above you. It happens in places where water acts strangely. These islands create more water than they can hold, so some spills over the edges and form puddles below.

16. Fairies

The Pink Fairy, Green Fairy, and Blue Fairy are creatures that aim to guide you toward valuable treasures. If you see a fairy on the ground, it could fly up to the sky and lead you to an island with a treasure chest. So always keep an eye out for this!

17. Cute Fishron or UFO Mount

An excellent way to find floating islands is by riding a Cute Fishron or UFO Mount. You get these mounts by defeating Duke Fishron in Expert Mode or a Martian Saucer. Then, fly in the sky and look for one Floating Island. Stay at that height while flying around the world to find more islands.

Keep in mind that this could be your final resort for finding these islands, as you’ll still need to face one of the challenging Hardmode Bosses.

Terraria Blend-O-Matic: How to Get (easy) | Full Guide 2023 https://avidgamer.gg/terraria-blend-o-matic-how-to-get/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=terraria-blend-o-matic-how-to-get Fri, 11 Aug 2023 02:17:22 +0000 https://avidgamer.gg/?p=8705 More...]]>
The Blend-O-Matic crafting station in Terraria
Blend-O-Matic in Terraria

Some Terraria players use Asphalt Blocks in their vast arena to battle countless bosses. While it’s optional – and you’re always good to go in Classic – we can’t say the same for Master and Expert Mode. That’s why this guide will teach you everything about its crafting station – the Blend-o-Matic.

Blend-O-Matic – Explained

The Blend-O-Matic is a crafting station in Terraria for making Asphalt Blocks, granting you enhanced speed when traversed. Moreover, walking on Asphalt Blocks also reduces the time it takes for you to come to a stop. 

Acceleration becomes even more potent when combined with other speed-boosting items like the Hermes Boots. Remember that this only affects players running directly on the Asphalt Blocks, leaving enemies, NPCs, and critters unaffected.

The player running on a normal block and Asphalt Block.
Notice the speed difference between two block types

When you run on said blocks, you can achieve an impressive top speed of 53 mph by accelerating for around three seconds. This is a significant difference compared to the usual maximum running speed of 15 mph.

Such swiftness makes these blocks valuable for various purposes, from constructing Skybridges for collecting Fallen Stars to creating Arenas for Hardmode Terraria bosses.

If you’re aiming for better movement and strategic benefits, acquiring the Blend-O-Matic is a must!

Acquiring the Blend-O-Matic

Once he’s present, you can buy the Blend-o-Matic from the Steampunker for 10 Gold Coins. To acquire the NPC, you must defeat at least one of three Mechanical Bosses in Terraria. We strongly advise targeting either the Destroyer or the Skeletron Prime.

The Destroyer is a mechanical worm with varying health that doesn’t split into smaller segments – unlike its Pre-Hardmode counterpart. It shoots lasers if there’s space and releases Probes to attack when a part is destroyed. You can easily counter this enemy by equipping any piercing weapon or high DPS. 

Alternatively, you can go against Skeletron Prime – a more agile version of the Pre-Hardmode Skeletron. If the mechanical boss isn’t defeated before the night ends, it’ll target and likely kill you in one hit before despawning.
