Top 10 Terraria Bosses
These are my top picks depending on money, fun value, fairness, and look.(LONG POST WARNING)
Imagine, if you will, that you (the real you, not your character) are roaming a land of fire in the center of the Earth (or bottom if you think it's flat, whatever). You're armed, of course, but some utterly UNHOLY creatures are there too. These include some demons. You notice one is carrying a doll of some sort, almost resembling the Guide. Wanting the doll to see what it does, you kill the demon, only for the doll to start falling... and it hits the lava. Suddenly, the ground starts shaking as a deafening roar echoes through the Underworld. You turn around, but you are immediately filled with pure terror. A giant, bloody wall of possibly human flesh with thousands of razor-sharp teeth is coming for you...
Yeah, the context and buildup to this boss is what makes it so great. Good fight for its stage of the game, too! The only reason this boss isn't actually my favorite is because the task of building a bridge through the Underworld is very long and tedious.
I love this boss just because he has what I think is the best boss design in the game.
The most fun fight without a doubt. Gathering all the scales and Demonite never felt so good.
This boss is really weak. I've defeated it like five times, but I like it because it gives you Shadowscale and Demonite.
Just fought this ocular menace - two of them, actually (one spawned naturally, the other manually) - and it was intense. I had a godly Zombie Arm, an Ebonwood Bow, Lead and Ebonwood Armor, and a Mythical Slime Staff. I killed one, but the other just managed to take me out on its last fringes of life. Hey, at least I killed one.
It's actually easy to defeat once you have good weapons and armor. I used my Diamond Staff to kill it.
He is so fun to kill! Plus, shooting eyes with a gun is fun - mostly soldiers that work for him. You can really kick his sour butt!
The music, Boss 2, is TOO GOOD, and the rhythm of when the eyes are charging in Phase 1 combined with the music is EPIC. Spazmatism is the easier eye simply because you can escape it. Retinazer is extremely accurate and will take you down quickly. In Phase 2, Retinazer shoots six shots in rapid succession to rip you apart. This is when you need to destroy it fast! If you get Spazmatism and Retinazer in the second phase, you won't last very long.
A tip for getting the music box for Boss 2 is to kill Spazmatism and then go into your house and wait AFK. Retinazer does not charge in Phase 2, and you can also use this time to heal up to full health and then tank the final eye. Boom, The Twins have been defeated!
I really like the Night's Edge and, you know, beating the game, so Skeletron is a nice fight.
Skeletron was a really fun boss to beat, and I enjoyed every second of defeating him!
He's hard, and since I like a challenge, he is my favorite boss. He also looks cool!
I really like the Destroyer - personally, my favorite boss on this list. The Destroyer was the one boss that I had extreme difficulty with. I ended up making a massive bridge of wooden platforms and fighting him there, which got him. If you're having trouble but have beaten the other two bosses, use the Hallowed Repeater with Jester Arrows. It chews through his health.
My personal top 10 (10 being the worst):
10: Skeletron Prime (he was easy)
9: Brain of Cthulhu
8: Wall of Flesh
7: Duke Fishron
6: Moon Lord
5: Golem
4: The Twins
3: Plantera
2: The Destroyer
1: BETSY! (Yes, Old One's Army boss counts)
Oh, also, apart from the Moon Lord, Duke Fishron is the hardest boss in the game. The hardest non-boss is the Solar Pillar because of those stupidly overpowered Crawltipedes. They deal about 100 damage with Beetle Armor and all Warding accessories!
Actually, not a very hard boss. I can crush Plantera with my endgame equipment, but the Mech Bosses are still challenging. That said, it's an intense fight, especially in Phase 2.
Possibly the toughest boss in the game. I like battling it. It fills me with nervousness and fear, but also power.
Drops unique and sweet items and is a challenge, so it's an intense and fun battle.
Don't know how this guy made it on here. He uses plenty of gadgets to try to cut you, burn you, explode you, and countless other ways.
Upgraded version of Skeletron. He has more attacks than the original and feels even more awesome!
His attacks in normal mode are comedically easy to dodge, to the point that I can defeat him with Palladium armor.
I think it's a fun boss who gives extremely good items in easy mode.
Good drops. You can only summon it once for a reason.
A relatively easy boss and very fun to battle.
It was so hard. My brother and my friend were both playing Terraria, and it was so hard they both had to fight. AND they had cheated and got the best stuff on a server, and it was still hard.
This is pretty much considered the final boss of the game. Although I've beaten him in multiple worlds in my game, facing the Moon Lord is a huge challenge.
He has the coolest weapons and is supposed to be the hardest boss in the game for a reason. Why would you not like him?
The Newcomers
@Visitor Your wish has come true. They added Queen Slime into Terraria in the 1.4 update.
It took so long. My cousin and I were instantly dying and had to work really hard to get the Truffle Worms. Until finally, one day, fully prepared with the Terra Blade, Vampire Knives (my personal favorite), Spectre Staff, and Frost Hydra, we faced him again. When he went into his second form, we were both still on golden hearts. We quickly got him down to extremely low health, but then I died. So did my cousin. But he didn't despawn. He flew straight to me, and I hit him a few times with my Terra Blade, and he died. We were screaming. But all we got... was a Bubble Gun.
I like how you have to kill these tiny orb guys before you fight the boss. Very fun fight.
It's a removed boss spelled Marco backward. What's not to love?
I started a playthrough just to defeat this boss. Coolest boss ever.
Coolest boss ever! I like doing parkour stunts to avoid the lasers like a boss. He's pretty hard, though.
Well... this is honestly lower on the list than I had thought. Sure, it's pretty easy, but the fight is FUN. That, along with its awesome design, makes this the best boss for me.
The fight is really well put together. They just really need to buff him. Really nice vanity as well.
Cool spells. Doesn't drop anything I want except for the new table, which is annoying. Still hardcore.
He's very easy if you have endgame gear (I expected him to be much harder), but he's still a pretty cool and well-executed boss fight.
He's easier with weapons that you've already defeated him with. My Possessed Hatchet does 154 damage.
Pretty easy boss, but hard to beat without friends playing with you.
If you're new to the game, kill King Slime first with ranged weapons and a 35-block-high rope. The slime mount is SO worth it, and the slime gun is a fun vanity item. The slime mount annihilates EoC. You just gotta jump on him!
A very fun and easy boss. It's a nice surprise when he randomly shows up.
It drops armor that looks cool!
Not quite my favorite boss, but definitely up there because of a few simple things. He isn't the only thing you're worrying about here - far from it. When you get far enough in, there can be over a dozen of him!
