lol I originally put Night’s Edge but thought “wait that’s pre hard mode nobody’s using that” then added “True” without thinking

Also, I know this is pretty common advice but I recommend using Hallowed Armor, since it lets you dodge attacks sometimes. Defense doesn’t matter, all that matters is set bonus.

So actually you should use wooden armor because it gives +1 defense that’s really good /j

You can't use dodges against her. I'd recommend armour mixing to maximize damage.

Wait really? Is that new? I swear I’ve heard that you could do that before

Before, yes. Now, no.

Edit: I think Solar Flare Helmet and Chestplate with Mythril Greaves and Starlight might be good?

What if I did this challenge on Infernum Empress?

I don’t know, I’ve never played any mods like that
Is it that similar?

Ah. I do know her fight, and I can try to get footage, no promises though. So, you want me to do normal or no hit her?

I really have no idea. Is it the same boss or is she different?

Infernum Empress changes a lot (like turning into the sun near the end), but she is still the same boss. Not like the mod changes her into, say, the Radiance from Hollow Knight. (yes, a mod does that)

{Only items available right after ML and before. No like Auric Tesla armour or anything, that'd be cheating.}

I know. I was.

Not doing this for simple reasons, but I have a tip that might work for this challenge.
Golem fist
I'm being completely serious. Flails are considered melee weapons, and the golem fist has decent range and consistent damage allowing you to dodge and deal decent damage, and is the best launch flail that doesn't shoot projectiles

When I get back, I may try doing Infernum Empress with it. I was planning on True Meleeing her with the Stellar Striker, but I can change for the Golems Fist.

 

[Asternove]

I don’t think Golem’s Fist is True Melee.

I don’t think you should use modded equipment either.

The challenge WAS to use True Melee. I believe he is fine with Infernum Empress, since it is generally harder than vanilla Daytime. Regardless, Stellar Striker IS True Melee.

I’m saying just use like Starlight. I rather you not use a modded weapon.

Why though? I mean to be fair, it is technically post ML, but I could just use the Astral Pike or Astral Blade instead.

 

[Benry Gaming]

I made this thread with vanilla in mind. Not that anyone can necessarily stop you from using mods but if you use mods it’s much harder to discuss it with everyone and the mod may have some comically overpowered stuff that ruins the fun

Just use Starlight.

 

[MoultonLava]

Just use Starlight.

Alright. Sure

 

[Asternove]

Alright. Sure

I’d say Solar Eruption is available if you’re desperate enough but I think you should at least try the more True-Melee one first.
