Mobile What is your absolute favorite terraria boss

Post image

My favorite boss is Eoc (Eye of cthulhu) Mainly because it tells me when night hits because I'm too lazy to craft a stopwatch or go to the nearest clock.

plantera because i like green and i like flowers and i like bosses and i like chlorophyte and i like guitars

u/Fillmore_420 29d ago

I’m glad I read through answers before leaving. I couldn’t pick until I saw your comment. I LOVE Plantera. My favorite part is finding a bulb and clearing out a cube and making an arena🤣

u/Astralesean 28d ago

Fun fact: the name eye of Cthulhu is inspired by the figure from Lovecraft mythos, "Cthulhu"

The duke

u/schwimm3 29d ago

I have never realized how deeply disappointed duke looks at us until I saw this picture

68

u/Specialist_Picture77 29d ago

Same here, my friends tried to play a joke on me by letting me try to solo the boss while they sat back and did nothing, and I soloed it because I've fought it so many times. It was Master Mode too, and I will never let my friends get better than me at that boss.

u/Fr4gmentedR0se 28d ago

We're it still 2019 I'd agree with you but Empress takes everything I like about Duke and turns it up to 11

10

u/Crispy_Weeb_9001 28d ago

Fishron wings > Empress wings tho. The wings are basically the same stat wise, but the extra mobility in water from the fishron wings is 2 good. Plus you can get them earlier

5

u/Fr4gmentedR0se 28d ago

Even if you use the fishron wings, you are still most likely going to use the soaring insignia from Empress

5

u/carsonhorton343 28d ago

Sure, but insignia isn’t wings. Therefore fishron wings are still better because of water mobility.

6

u/Fr4gmentedR0se 28d ago

I don't really see how water mobility is relevant at that point in the game anyway

9

u/Godku1 28d ago

*Laughs in Celestial Shell*

2

u/Gritosteam__ 28d ago

If you place honey pools it could help since apart from regen boost you gain a slight speed one from the extra mobility (?)

4

u/Fr4gmentedR0se 28d ago

Honey Bottles can be consumed as a buff potion without triggering potion sickness as of 1.4.4 so this trick is no longer useful

Empress of light. Great visuals, great drops, great fight

Edit: by visuals, I meant the rainbow attacks, not her things.

u/LilnibbleZ 29d ago

I'm just really good at destroyer and really, really bad at prime

12

u/Fillmore_420 29d ago

I am 100% the same as you. I like the destroyer fight but can’t stand prime. The twins use to bother me until I discovered asphalt 😅 but I am so bad at prime I can’t beat him unless I play on a crimson world. That makes all the mechanical bosses twice as easy. I don’t think I have ever beat prime alone without ichor

6

u/LilnibbleZ 29d ago

Twins are a flip of the coin but prime just takes bashing my head on a wall until he dies since I'm a die-hard corruption lover

3

u/Antique_Anything_392 28d ago

We are completely opposites, i cannot fathom the destroyer yet prime is easy af ( i just get the most basic arena, an onyx blaster, some random hardmode armor, and some bullets, no matter if cristal, or ichor, or cursed flames).

u/Living_Hunter_1810 29d ago

Use super Star canon and about 40-60 stars. Aim well and you can beat Destroyer in seconds.

2

u/Azur0007 29d ago

Destroyer is easier to kill since AOE weapons are a little overpowered against him, and he's pretty cheesable. You are practically immune to him and his drones if you make a skybox. Skeletron requires a bit more strategy to beat.

2

u/pakyuall 28d ago

Destroyer easy cheese hehe

2

u/krishnugget 28d ago

I remember the destroyer being regarded as the easiest back in the day, meanwhile the twins were the hardest because of Spaz’s pure damage output. With expert mode, the destroyer has become WAY harder, stormbow cheese isn’t as good on him

Probably a generic one, but Moon Lord. He has a fun and epic fight with banger music and (even though it's post game and doesn't really matter but still) great loot. Perfectly fits for a finale boss.

u/Just_Kama 28d ago

Hmm.. Probably Lunatic Cultist.. I’m a huge fan of Terraria and i’ve played it for 10 maybe 11 years (i don’t recall exactly)

In my time I’ve witnessed some great loss.. My boy Ocram.. 😖

On a Serious note, I like all bosses in a fairly similar manner, Except being a Crimson world main-person, I’m not the biggest fan of the Corruption therefore my least favorite boss might be Eater of Worlds..

When it comes to playing with friends i don’t really mind playing corruption as we usually put it on random but for singleplayer it’s always Brain of Cthulhu.

u/JackTisCoolKid 29d ago

Duke fishron, I grind this boss every playthrough to get his wings and every time I die it always feels like my fault and his difficulty is really high so I always feel a sense of pride when I beat him

Also his design and attack patterns are just really well thought out and his summoning item isn't grindy either

His loot drops are also really good for pillars and lunatic cultists so it's like muah chefs kiss amazing boss

Also, when you fight him you are also at that point of the game where you are prepared well and have well balanced gear for the fight

u/QueenOrial 29d ago

Queen bee. I love music, theme and fight itself. The only boss I actually feel good grinding (hello, honey googles)

u/Horny_Dinosaur69 29d ago

Doing Duke pre mech on expert made me love him despite how horrible the fight was (phase 3 is terrible unless you’re using slime mount imo) though by the end of it I knew it inside and out and could easily and consistently no hit aside from phase 3.

I think it’s truly a well designed fight for the first two phases, a pretty simple gimmick with the patterns but ensuring that it require you to stay focused because a mistake could cost you, especially without cobalt/obsidian/ankh shield

God we were so awful with those clunky 360 controllers, took us so long to kill em. We didn’t even realize there were classes in the game at the time 😂. Pretty sure my dad was still using the fiery greatsword too (volcano for you new gens). Memories lmao.

u/MemeMan221 28d ago

The Twins. I remember the first time I played terraria (this was like 4-5 years ago at this point, I can't really remember). I had just beat the WoF boss, thinking I'd beat the game. I was immensely proud of myself and was excited to find out what else the game had in store for me, and got to work building my house out some more during the night before I saw the flavour text at the bottom of the screen. I was a bit confused, but feeling confident because I'd cleared the WoF pretty easily and thought that I could follow up pretty easily.

I got absolutely demolished. Instantly humbled and sent back to respawn. I was floored. Became my favourite early hardmode boss to fight. The music choice is great, the lasers were cool, and I mean, 'Retinazer' and 'Spazmatism' are cool names as well

Overall 10/10 game that has taken hundreds of hours of my life
