I just need strategies to kill Moon Lord
My way of killing Moon Lord proved very efficient and quick. Follow those steps and you will be grand:
Step 1t: Build arena on the surface that will provide you with a cover from Moon Lord's beam (other words he will fry your but with it)
Step 2: After your arena is built, place Camp Fires everywhere where you can, and hang Heart Lanterns too. They will Provide at least some
life regeneration (not much wit Moon Lords dmg, but always better than nothing)
Step 3: Build a house right next to the arena and assign it to the Nurse. While fighting Moon Lord she is more than useful to have around.
Step 4: When defeated all four Celestial Towers, craft yourself Vortex Beater and get Goblin Tinkerer to apply Unreal mod to it. Make sure to have
max amount of chlorophyte bullets as they seek target by themselves which is handy to keep an eye on your HP.
Step 5: Potions that will make this fight A LOT easier are: Thorns Potion, Swiftness Potion, Summoning Potion, Shine Potion, Regeneration Potion,
Night Owl Potion, Ironskin Potion, Inferno Potion, Hunter Potion, Heartreach Potion, Endurance Potion, Calming Potion, and Ammo Reservation Potion.
Step 6: Try to obtain Crystal Ball (Bought from Wizard), Bewitching Table (found in Dungeon, I think... I got it a while ago), Ammo box (no clue on
where I got it) and Sharpening Station (fund in underground Cabins). Place them near the arena so you can use the buff time to its maximum.
Step 7: Accessories that will certainly help are: any kind of wings, Ankh Shield, Star Veil, Yoyo Bag, Frostspark Boots (or any other superfast running boots)
Step 8: Most important - Weapons. Well I always say that its never bad to have too many weapons. I'm running around with Terra Blade (Legendary
mod), Day Break(Godly mod), Vortex Beater(Unreal mod), The Eye of Cthulhu(Godly mod), Stardust Cell Staff(Mythical mod, but Ruthless mod is better) and
Rainbow Crystal Staff(you only get it if you kill Moon Lord and it only has 11.11% drop chance).
Step 9: Personally I found Chlorophyte Armor set best for the fight due to extra fire power provided by the crystal buff for full set. So I recommend use of
it.
Now the actual fight. Fighting Moon Lord is actually pretty easy once you have proper arena built and have all the potions buffs and the Nurse around.
In the first stage of the fight, don't stick out your nose from under the cover. Just shoot the Vortex Beater, and the Chlorophyte Bullets will find their target. Don't worry about the ammo as you will have ammo reduction buffs. Keep an eye on your health and when it drops below 250 HP run to the nurse
and get healed. Don't forget to have some Health Potions in your hot bar just in case. Once you kill the eyes from Moon Lord's hands and fore head, switch to the yoyo and fly up. Throw the yoyo at his chest and keep an eye on your health as without cover you are more likely to take hits directly. The same drill goes when your health drops down below 250 HP, land and run to the Nurse.
This strategy worked for me so far. I fought Moon Lord 4 times now and had not failed once yet. The key to the success is to keep an eye on the health and staying under cover
until main beam is eliminated. Just for reference I'm adding the looks of my arena so you get a fair idea of what I am talking about Hope I helped and good luck
You kinda overdoit with the campfires and heart lanterns...
(how in the name of Cthulhu did you find so many heart crystal??)
Not exactly. Campfire + Heart Lantern will stack with each other. However, multiple Campfires won't stack with each other and multiple Heart Lanterns won't stack with each other. You can have 1, 10 or 9001 Campfires within range, but you'll only get the healing boost as if you had one.I know, but better safe than sorry right? Life restoration from each Camp Fire/Heart Lantern sums up so it no harm using as many as possible.
