Expert mode? No, but what I DID do was snag the Tabi.In expert mode? What was your strategy? I feel like I must be doing it all wrong then.
Undergeared? Eh, I used to kick his arse back in the 1.2.4 days so it wasn't really much.Ah okay. Most of the trouble I've had with the boss stems from his final phase in expert. Congrats on the way undergeared win though!
I'm not entirely sure what you mean when you say Duke Fishron is a sidegrade based on his drops? Can you please iterate further on this...Duke Fishron is either an extremely easy boss or a god of hatred depending on whether or not you got Cosmic Car Key/Lunar Gear before fighting him or not. Honestly, he feels like a sidegrade in difficulty to the Moon Lord, which is well reflected in the quality of his drops.
Duke Fishron's drops are pratically Lunar tier, they're crazy powerful.I'm not entirely sure what you mean when you say Duke Fishron is a sidegrade based on his drops? Can you please iterate further on this...
The Wings/Razorblade/Flairon and Shrimpy Truffle in particular, as you mentioned. Since the Phantasm Nerf, Tsunami is also looking to be a viable alternative as well but I haven't tested enough to say. The rest are duds though, but so are Celebration and Crystal Staff from Moon Lord. Each boss still has their shares of bad drops.I'd say Flairon an Razorblade Typhoons are, but the rest of Fishron gear doesn't quite seem Lunar tier
Fishron Wings are literally the best though since they allow free motion in water
So is Rainbow Crystal Staff from Moon Lord. Each boss still has their shares of bad drops.
YOU TAKE THAT BACK ITS A GREAT ITEM! it's just underappreciated as a turret!
I don't see even with phantasm getting nerfed being less viable than Tsunami its more just the situation you use it in
Tsunami has more ammo consumption than phantasm, but enemies that die in less than 3 shots from phantasm don't really benefit from its continuous stream of arrows it shoots...
Tsunami does its damage every time, and doesn't require a boss fight to be really good so while Phantasm is still better for DPS and Boss-Slaying the Tsunami is better for just general crowd control, and invasion events
....Thats quite an elaborate setup you got there..... it's definitely effective, but I wouldn't say he's quite that hard to learn to dodge wouldn't you?For people having problems dealing with the Moon Lord, here is a very simple arena :
Stay in honey with your star veil, attack with solar eruption, scourge of the corruptor, or even a yoyo (the eye of cthulhu, the best one if you havn't the Terrarian).
All lasers are blocked by the slime blocks.
In normal mode, I don't go under 475/500 HP, and the ML is defeated in around 3 minutes.
Very simple.
its not exactly cheating so much as exploiting the Invincibility frames you get after taking damageUsing spikes and honey to become invincible kind of seems like cheating..
I guess it depends on your feelings about it.Using spikes and honey to become invincible kind of seems like cheating..
The fight was apparently balanced to be a very difficult post-1/all mech boss. Don't quote me, as I can't cite that.Wait... You guys beat fishron with pretty much endgame 1.2.4 gear? I beat him with titanium armor. It's easy. Just bring a gravitation potion and some wings. The fight will be long, but you will be able to dodge and win. Zoomed though Hardmode after that win.
EDIT: Pre-Mech too
