The eyes can only be attacked when they are open.ĭuring this stage, we should continuously aim to damage the eyes that are within the reach of our Solar Eruption.

In Expert mode, each hand has 37500 health points, and the head has 67500 health points. All of these must be killed before the core opens for attack. Moon Lord has two eyes in his hands, and a head eye. The bottom part can be left open to allow access to the platform. It is also helpful to extend the sides downwards a little bit, in order to avoid some attacks from the hands. This is especially important, as the Phantasmal Deathray attack from the head eye will fire a very thick beam from above the player, and if the "roof" is any narrower, it will actually go through it, touching the player and dealing extremely high damage before getting completely blocked by the structure. The 5-block wide box around the platform should be made of solid blocks (any blocks will work), and the top of it should extend to the sides as seen in the picture, making it 7 blocks wide. The Paladin's Shield will prevent us from getting knocked to the side of the platform during the fight. It is important to stay in the middle of the 3-block wide platform that is seen in the picture, in order to keep the constant health regeneration buff from the honey. This setup will allow us to stand in the honey during the fight, and to constantly have an increased health regeneration rate. The bubbles are a unique type of block which can hold liquids, while also allowing the player to walk past them, and they can be purchased from the Party Girl NPC. It is also important to put some honey (only 1 bucket) in some bubbles, as seen in the picture, in order to increase the health regeneration even more. Therefore, it is helpful to place a campfire and a heart lantern near/in our arena. Here's what the arena looks like (Below is a detailed explanation of the arena):Ĭampfires and heart lanterns will increase the health regeneration rate. We will be using a very tiny arena, and we will not be moving at all during the fight. However, in Expert mode, it is crucial to have a Frozen Turtle Shell.Īlso, it is an idea to swap in the Charm of Myths in place of the Celestial Shell just before using a health potion during the fight, in order to reduce the cooldown, but this complicates the fight and shouldn't really be necessary at any point. In that case, we can safely remove the Frozen Turtle Shell, and initiate the battle with the remaining 5 accessories. When playing in Normal mode, the number of available accessory slots is reduced to 5. Paladin's Shield (Provides 6 defense points and prevents knockback)Ĭelestial Shell (Slightly increases many offensive and defensive stats)Ĭelestial Stone (Is similar to the Celestial Shell)įrozen Turtle Shell (Provides with +25% damage reduction once the player is below 50% health)Īll accessories should be reforged to "Warding", for an additional 24 defense points. Worm Scarf (Provides with +17% damage reduction) Star Veil (Increases the duration of invincibility after taking damage - this can be replaced with a cross necklace) Secondly, let's take a look at the accessories we will be using. Therefore, this set performs much better than its alternatives.

This set will give us 75 defense points, plus +16% melee damage, +26% melee critical strike chance, and an amazing +8 HP/s life regeneration! This is very important, because this set is consistent with its continuous health regeneration, while the beetle armour requires the player to avoid all damage for 9 seconds before activating the full damage reduction bonus, which loses its effect after the player takes damage. Valhalla Knight's Greaves (Bought from the Tavernkeep NPC for 75 Defender Medals) Valhalla Knight's Breastplate (Bought from the Tavernkeep NPC for 75 Defender Medals) These are the three armour pieces we will be using:Ĭhlorophyte Mask (Crafted from 12 chlorophye bars, which require 72 chlorophyte ores)

However, in this guide, we will be using an armour combination which outshines the beetle armour, and even the solar flare armour in most cases. At this stage of the game, the beetle armour is probably the most popular choice for melee-based loadouts, as it provides the player with 73 defense points, and a great set bonus which gives even more damage reduction possibilites.
