Okay everyone! Listen up! 
Its clear a lot of people have some pretty strong opinions on a variety of matters. However, there is no reason for people to ever, ever insult one another or be rude to other forum members.
Allow me to quote them rules:
Loki said it very well there. Debate the position, not the person. If you disagree with someone? Cool, that's encouraged and acceptable. But don't demean them or those who are like them because they don't see things the same way as you.
On this forum, respectful posting is required. At all times. I don't want to see anymore calling people lazy, or insulting the skills of those who can't beat Moonlord, criticizing those who think Moonlord isn't hard, anything. People who simply refuse to do this may have to be removed from the thread. Be nice to each other! Its not so hard. "Git gud" is not a respectful way to respond to someone's concerns of the game being too hard. Its really not. If you absolutely must critique someone's strategy for a fight, you can come up with a more eloquent way of saying it. Everyone has their own skill level, and EVERY skill level is valid and to be respected here.
So lets get back to having a friendly, respectful discussion, right guys?
Thx for the reminder... I was about to tell those players who think they are so good that they can beat ML blindfolded and hands tied to the back to get off Terraria and play those "I wanna be the X' games on Impossible Mode since they love hard games so much. But I guess I don't have to now.
OK, my last post is buried in page 5 since yesterday so I'm not gonna continue it fully.
I noticed some people said final boss must be hardest. So... I assume those guys never heard of Gradius? You need to be an idiot to lose to the Bacterian leader after shooting down his myriad minions and navigating those sharp corridor without crashing ie, crashing into his stationary body. (that said I do not want Terraria to become like this at all, just saying final bosses =/= hardest boss. I think some bonus bosses post game (lore wise not threatening to the world like at all unlike cultists and the subsequent bosses but is sealed away waiting for someone to best them so they can rest in peace) should be more fitting to take that position[take a hint for next major update idea, devs!])
Like I said, I'm use 'honourable' tactics most of the time (Guns + Chloro bullets + menancing accessories + skybridge filled with campfire, heart latern etc), but if people want to cheese? Let them be. It's their problem for taking their own challenges away. Yes, the fact you can think of exploiting the spike to negate major damage shown how crafty you are. You realise the invincible frame after getting hit, which is part of the game, can be put to good use. Remember back when killing Dungeon Guardian is all the rage? He is clearly not intended to be beaten but the devs loved our attempt to much they decide to reward us for doing it while at the same time making sure his role as preventing us from entering before skipping the boss is retained. I've mentioned it before, players who can exploit gameplay mechanic are cunning, not cheaters. Without this kind of outside of box thinking, would DG have been downed at all aside from endlessly shooting at him?
I am powerless to do anything, but devs, I know you guys are gonna remove the lava cheese people mentioned earlier. Go on. Do it. Enjoy the groans that follow afterwards.
And thank you Cenx, for assuring us that currently, the devs have no plan on removing the nurse from the fight. *gives a big middle finger to the idea of nurse dying/too scared to help/summoning ML via nurse voodoo doll/otherwise disabled for the ML fight*
My arena is a skybridge with a loop at the the very end for me to circle around, back to the bridge and go the opposite direction. And my nurse is stationed near the loop. However, I see her as an emergency health supply. I will only click on her if things really becomes grim (like reaching < 100 HP) during the battle. Otherwise, she can just sit there and rot while I fire away at the boss and loop about in the arena.
Oh, and I have a semi cheese when engaging many major bosses for first time. If you guys want to know how, start a private conversation with me (if devs patch this method I'm really gonna delete Terraria from my PC. It just prove how desperate devs can get when when they want us to fight ML honourably.). Bear in mind this method is not foolproof and you can still die if you are under prepared, but it DOES make things easier. All I can say now is to give you a hint to my method.
3 words:
F _ _ _ _ S _ _ _ O _ _
Have fun figuring out what each letter is! (Cenx, if you are curious I can discuss my method privately with you too, but I trust your honesty and integrity in not letting the programmers know about this. Or, you can let them know but warn them that patching this method is a bad idea).
fighting it legit (i did beat it once before you
