Make sure you have a full set of silver armour or tungsten armour.

Here are some things to keep in mind while preparing for battle: I also recommend building an arena designed for the boss and preparing in advance for the fight. The first phase will have the Eye of Cthulhu floating above you while it summons Servants of Cthulhu (Demon Eyes that can float through walls). I highly recommend having a grappling hook and the Hermes boots before even trying to fight the Eye of Cthulhu. There is a 1 in 3 chance of this boss appearing at the beginning of nighttime if the player has: This makes it harder to hit and trapping it in the environment is a little trickier as it will eventually get small enough to get through gaps. You won't be able to escape by running away from it as it will teleport towards you.

Use long-range weapons to attack the King Slime.Īs you hit the King Slime, it will shrink.

Deploy a campfire nearby so you can regenerate health.

Create a walkway with platforms that's 35-50 blocks long.

Build a 18-20 blocks high wall that's one block thick.

There are a number of ways to beat the King Slime, but here's the simplest one:

It attacks in much the same way as regularly sized slimes but as it is much larger, it's harder to avoid its bounces. This is an optional boss and is one of the simpler ones to defeat. Kill 150 slimes during a slime rain or use a slime crown. They aren't as tough as the main bosses and have a chance to appear during certain waves, along with other enemies.

You should also create arenas specifically designed around a boss's attack patterns, making it easy for you to dodge them. This doesn't just mean having the right equipment. Some are completely optional fights, but others stand in the way of unlocking new NPCs and a harder difficulty setting.įor each boss, there's some setup required to give you a fighting chance.
