Top 10 Hardest Terraria Bosses
Yes, I know he's hard. I go on normal mode, and he's (of course) easy. I have the Meowmere, and it was (again) easy, but I still had a friend with me. My friend and I defeated the pillars, and then came the Moon Lord. Even on easy mode, with the best sword in the game, full health, and a friend with the expert type of the best yo-yo, we didn't get the Moon Lord to half health before we both died.
When we fought Fishron, my friend died first, but I got the final blow, and we defeated him in a matter of minutes.
He travels through walls, and you cannot camp out without dying if not using a slime statue farm. You need wings and titanium armor instead of chlorophyte or hallowed in case you fail to dodge one of his dashes.
Together with the hardship of catching his summoning item, he is easily the hardest boss in the game, even beating the Moon Lord, who you can farm easier.
Endgame boss, high damage, and the eyes are very hard to dodge. Without Nebula or Vortex armor, you may find it very hard to kill him with a Nebula Blaze or Vortex Beater. A Solar Eruption is useful if you want to beat him easier.
When fighting him, make sure to keep the percentage of his eyes similar and destroy them at about the same time so you can beat the heart straight afterward.
The Moon Lord is definitely the hardest boss. I had to cheese him multiple times before I got a good enough weapon to fight him with. As for Duke Fishron, he is extremely easy as long as you have the right arena (asphalt on the floor, campfires, and heart lanterns).
As for enraged Duke Fishron, I killed him 26 out of 27 times without a proper arena. It was only after, when I smashed him in expert mode, that I realized he was enraged.
Hardest mech boss by far. Some people think that Skeletron Prime, or even The Destroyer, is the hardest, but the other two are relatively easy with a good strategy.
With the Twins, you need quick reflexes, precise aim, high mobility, strong weapons and armor, lots of buff potions, a carefully thought-out arena, powerful accessories, the best modifiers, a bit of luck, and a lot of practice.
It doesn't help that you HAVE to actually fight this boss to progress through the game. Still, a fun and very creative boss. It remains a fun boss to fight post-Plantera due to its difficulty level.
Remember to clear the terrain and be prepared when fighting it for the first time, or you can hardly do any maneuvers in the jungle. It is a large boss with high damage. You can hardly kill it with melee weapons besides spears at that stage of the game. Your bullets are easily wasted since its hitbox is not as large as its reach.
You don't even have a Raven Staff as a summoner, and there is no corresponding class set up by the new ores you mine. Try magic weapons for the best results.
Difficult due to the amount of contact damage she deals and the grabbers she unleashes during her second phase. Many players also break the bulb accidentally, spelling an early doom.
Well, this took a long time to defeat! I spent 2 days devising a plan to beat him, and it still wouldn't work. I killed the Twins for a practice round because they are pretty easy. I killed him AFTER my friend and I beat the Frost Moon.
I felt weak compared to Terraria, but I know that a lot of others feel that way also.
Skeletron Prime has a lot of limbs. Some of them are useful, some of them aren't. He's still strong, but being on platforms basically immobilizes one of his limbs. Just kill the limbs, then kill the bone man.
Eye of Cthulhu was pretty easy. If I beat it, I get some red and black ore (I already wasted it on a sword and bow) that I found in caves. I got somewhere about 24 or fewer ores.
It was a little annoying since he goes up into the air, and I am horrible with the Diamond Staff. So I just waited to use my Rainbow Claws and killed him. Took me a total of 2 minutes.
This boss should be easy when you join hard mode. If you are a beginner or started a new character, it would be best to fight King Slime before you fight the Eye of Cthulhu.
It is recommended to have a musket with a couple of hundred bullets and at least 10 defense points.
Pretty hard, but not too hard. If you come in with hard mode gear, he's the easiest thing ever. Even pre-hard mode is still pretty easy. However, if you're not prepared, you are going to struggle with this boss.
I recommend getting a Minishark and Molten Armor.
He was so easy. I had a Physhician Skull Water Walking Boot combo and ended up with a glitch world where I went above 0 level in the dungeon before killing Skeletron and found a rainbow gun in a normal chest. It took me 10 seconds.
Difficult usually due to lack of platform bridges in Hell and demons sniping you with spells.
Bruh, this is easily the hardest boss in the game. I think it is literally impossible to beat and definitely needs to be rebalanced. If it is even beatable, does anyone have any tips on defeating this monstrosity?
Not so hard. I mean, it's a giant slime with a ninja and a crown. Oh, and it also does a lot of damage. That's why I hate all the bosses. They make me use a greater healing potion, then they attack me, and I can't use the potions, and then I die!
The hardest boss ever. It makes the game unfair and impossible due to how good it is. Make this boss easier in version 1.4, please. 1 vote = one vote for an easier King Slime!
It used to be in the mobile version of Terraria, so I know. It has a lot of forms of attack and is hard to dodge. It easily kills a player in hallowed armor if they are not dodging properly. The summoning item was expensive to make.
With complete turtle armor, the Terra Blade, wings, and a twenty-by-twenty box around you, he's easy. I've beaten him 13 times, and I've spawned him 13 times.
Not that tough. I beat him with a Night's Edge and Adamantite Armor.
I have dragon armor and the Terra Blade, and I still can't take him out when everyone says he's easy. I got up to level 10 with the Pumpkin Moon, but I can't beat him.
He is hard because he shoots eye beams that do a lot of damage. They almost kill me, and I have 31 defense.
Golem is actually very tough in the second stage and can really overwhelm you with melee attacks and lasers.
He really deserves to be under Duke and Moon Lord in terms of difficulty, but this guy definitely at least deserves the number 3 spot. If you don't have a proper DPS weapon for the Cultist himself, as well as a decent weapon that can simultaneously attack the segments of the dragon he conjures, you'll find yourself gobbled up pretty quick.
The second latest boss by progression, however, is not as hard since you can build barriers and defeat it easily. You can also parry his magic attacks easily. Mind the dragon.
Not too difficult, but the enclosed underground spacing will decrease your movement, and the creepers will be able to hit you more easily. Fighting above ground is usually what I do, as it requires less preparation and maneuvering.
It's a complete joke with multi-hit weapons like the Starfury. Without them? He's a total pain. Just keep getting better armor and more hearts, and you'll eventually beat him.
How is this easier than a green slime?
If you cheese it or you're playing on classic or expert mode, it's laughably easy. If you're playing on master mode - oh wait, never mind, you're already dead. *Destroyer is summoned again* So, as I was saying if - and you died again. *A few minutes later* Anyways, so it's - okay, I'll just assume you've figured it out by now. I'm tired of waiting for you to respawn.
I play on Xbox 360, so I'm not sure if this works on other platforms, but here's my story. I just couldn't beat him. I had the best armor available at the time and still couldn't defeat him. I found out the hard way that the cobalt shield helps a lot. Just stand still and swing your sword. The Destroyer's body will come to you, dealing contact damage every time your invincibility wears off from being hit, but the drones he spawns will die from the sword, giving you hearts. So easy now. I can kill 27 in one night.
Hard without the right gear, which is grenades, Jester Arrows, or Water Bolt. Be wary of it splitting up.
Hard as hell when you have no strategy.
It was hard for me. I was in expert mode and had full Molten Armor and a Night's Edge.
In normal mode, he's a joke. In Expert? It's a nightmare.
He is easy. I kick his butt with a Night's Edge and wood armor. He is a good thing to get the Dryad.
Real tough boss. Although only a mini-boss, the Ice Queen is really hard to beat and doesn't guarantee a good drop, making its single defeat low-yielding work.
It is even more annoying after 12 waves of the Frost Moon, as you may see a couple of these at the same time.
Difficult because of its progression, which is post-Golem, and the fact that it spawns after a large wave. Additionally, there is another objective of protecting the crystal.
Best pre-Moon Lord drops, in my opinion.
Okay, so imagine this: You're playing hardcore master mode farming for the Starlight, and it suddenly becomes daytime. I don't think I need to tell you what happens then.
BUTTERFLY LADY! All jokes aside, this femme fatale will rock your world at nighttime if you aren't prepared or underestimate her. She has a large move set and is fairly fast, but makes up for it by having many telegraphed attacks. Summons will take her out fairly easily if you keep good range and focus on avoiding her light beams.
Daytime is basically the same story, albeit with probably a larger arena needed and a complete focus on speed. Easier with friends.
Trying to outlast this boss without Duke Fishron gear is nearly impossible. Its health is stupidly high, even surpassing that of the Moon Lord, and its hard-to-dodge bullet hell is just too frustrating for me to keep up.
Here's a tip though. HARD TARGET The Destroyer until it's gone, and it'll make the fight much easier.
This is hands down the hardest vanilla boss ever, hence why it's only on Zenith/Everything/Getfixedboi seeds, aka the highest world difficulty possible. Its attack pattern is very confusing, which is why nobody has done a no-hit kill video on it. Plus, this thing killed me in 10 seconds.
Like people said here, you may wanna fight the Duke before this monstrosity.
