Items Boss Summons Should Only be Consumed After a Boss is Defeated

[Flubman]

Fighting bosses in Terraria can be stressful, not necessarily because they're hard, but because if you lose, you lose the summon. Also, some of the summoning recipes are kind of expensive. If a boss summon was only consumed upon a boss being defeated, it would make fighting bosses a lot more fun.

I don't like this idea, there wouldn't be downtime between fighting a boss and dying, it'd make it so you could just constantly throw yourself at a boss until it's dead, the entire point of bosses is making sure you're prepared to kill it. This would remove that and it wouldn't be exciting to not prepare yourself more for the boss to make sure you could kill it.

...make it a habit to collect or craft several Boss Summons then, if you plan on fighting any Boss.

• almost all Boss Summons are consumables, this is an established feature.
• this is meant to teach the Player to either be more prepared or do more exploring for better gear.
• Players are indeed allowed to bash their heads against a wall all-they-like, but the Devs won't officially support it.
• try Journey Mode.

They should be Consumable. I think that's original Terraria Style.

if you are struggling so much with a boss that infinite summons save you a lot of time, then you are probably using a lot of potions to even things out. Since you are dying so much, you are consuming a lot of potions on every attempt. So even with infinite boss summons, you will still eventually have to stop and get out to grind for your next attempts, and your problem is not fixed.

This is if anything rewarding the gameplay style of banging your head against the wall until you succeed instead of forcing you to go out and get better gear.

I stand corrected.
