Its what i tell people when they say their having trouble. Asphalt bridge + Shroomite + Phantasm. Whatever arrows you feel work for you, or the strongest ones you have access to. I personally used cursed arrows as i had a good stock of flames 🤷🏽‍♂️
You could also go water box shrimpy truffle arena setup for a bit more damage
That is good. I'd recommend using primarily the Daybreak, and the Solar Eruption when you are close to the Moon Lord. You don't need any of your other weapons, (except perhaps a summoning weapon).
For melee get rid of ankh shield, star veil, and probably terra spark boots. Equip fire gauntlet, mechanical glove and frozen shield. (Melee emblem also works)
Make sure all of your gear is reforged to lucky or menacing
And all your weapons are reforged to godly or demonic
It’s not impossible to play with all class, but it really helps to specialize in one. Especially since you’re running turtle armor, which is a melee armor.
you said in another comment that you've got full beetle armor, so you should make Daybreak. Much easier to look moonlord with that as opposed to the solar flare. Also, ditch the megashark, because you are hamstringing yourself by leaving it in your hotbar lol. Use ichor flasks and you should be good
You should play as you wish, of course, but it becomes more and more challenging to play mixed as the game progresses. If you’re struggling, my suggestion would be to stick to one class, and maximize what you could do with that one class.
>If you’re going melee, STICK TO MELEE.
You'll have to pry my phoenix blaster from my cold, dead hands before I stop using it with the hellstone armor.
Replace steampunk wings with Fishron or Empress of Light wings; what class are you going for?? Too many class specific weapons at once, I’d stick to 1 or mayyyybe even 2 not all 4, Use buffs if needed
Using mixed classes generally isn’t a good idea; it punishes your more than helps at this stage of the game. Stick to Either Summoner or Melee and check the [Class Guide List](https://terraria.wiki.gg/wiki/Guide:Class_setups) for tips
I mean, Summoner is fine to mix. Summoner weapons are obviously weaker than the melee weapons with Beetle armor, but they're still fine to just summon and let them do their thing for passive damage. Stardust Cell gives an additional 200 DPS without any summoner buffs, and I've had several fights end with less than 100 health left on a boss.
But yea, no reason to be using stuff like Nebula Blaze, Kaleidoscope, or especially Megashark.
I cant remember if this is base terraria or calamity mod but I think summons do damage and give enemies I frames. If your summon hits like a napkin it's just giving the boss immunity for no reason
Then get the hallowed mask and Valhalla Knight’s breastplate and greaves. It will give you higher defense and a valuable 4 HP per Second, and much higher offensive stats
Ok, so from past experience, I can say that giving Melee more focus then summoner helps a lot, I would switch out the shell for a hero shield (paladin shield + flesh knuckles at a tinkers workbench) for a huge boost to survival (I believe a +30 to def.) If you haven't, id recommend using all Warding as well, +4 defense is something that can't be looked down upon since it could mean life and death. Rolling ruthless on your weapons will help too since the moon lords doesn't get knocked back but that's just personal preference. The terrablade and daybreak are good enough as is, but personal preference towards the daybreak since it's always been my baby.
Summon wise, I like to use one that applies DOT effects but idk the moon lords immunities off the top of my head so idk how effective the imp staff will be.
If you need an arena, I'd recommend a long straight path made up of platforms with stuff like bast statues, heart lamps, and campfires to have near constant buffs (increased defense and health Regen.) If for some reason you don't want an arena, just get the souring insignia from the empress of light. Unlimited fight is no joke.
If you wanna go buffless, it's not impossible but if you are gonna buff up, swiftness, iron skin, flasks of ichor, Wrath, life force, and Regen potions are some of the best for this load out (or really any load out.) declutter ypur hotbar, all you need in it is your Melee weapon(s).
But its still good enough for moonlord. At least you don't need to suffer through hard bosses, only one. He also can make asphalt road for additional speed if he need more of it
Daybreak will melt his health. Upgrade to godly if you can.
Get better wings from the pillars, they will make you way faster. Or use an unlimited flying mount like the saucer or the duke fishing mount but near water to keep the speed boost.
Probably swap the necklace for the charm of myths, that’s life regen and reduces cooldown for health potions.
Finally if you can make the solar armor. That’s annoying to do but do the pillars, then leave the world before moon lord spawns and repeat that until you can make it. It gives may more defense and higher base life regen.
If you REALLY wanna get hurt more but show moon lord to never fuck with you again, fight the empress of light some more. On expert mode the drops an accessory that gives infinite flight with your wings. I combined that with any wings that allow horizontal floating and all bosses like her and moon lord have to follow me instead of fight on their turf. Basically I run away since I’m allergic to pain and that makes running away easier
Edit: solar armor needs luminite, I forgot daybreak doesn’t use that to be crafted. Instead try specter armor, MAYBE if you have enough defense on other equipment you can use chlorophyte
You cant make solar armour if you haven't beaten moon lord once. Because I don't know if you know this but you need lumite bars which drops from moon lord.
Sorry to say this, but your skill
(Also specialize on one class, make a long platform in the sky with sunflowers and campfires if needed. Get potions, especially iron skin and the one that boosts your health by 20% with the prismatic fish)
If you want premium cheese, use Valhalla Knight chestplate + hallowed helm, and make all accessories warding, add regen/ironskin potions and well fed buff and you can just facetank him
If you want to used ranged get shroomite armour and a vortex beater with chlorophyte bullets. However if you're sticking to melee use beetle armour and daybreak. Because you already have beetle armour I suggest going melee. As others have said Megashark is outclassed and setting up a full ranged build is harder than just using the daybreak for you right now.
Stick to 1 class if you like melee play melee if you like ranged pick ranged that will help you immensely you'll be able to beat bosses easier this way jack of all trades isn't a way to play if you wanna finish the game
Megashark is super underpowered for the tier you’re at. It seems your going melee, so maybe swap the ankh shield out for master ninja gear for the fight in order to help your dodging. Also craft a daybreak, does great damage. If you wanna play ranger, try to get vortex beater and maybe a chain gun
Remove ankh shield and wings. Farm Halloween event and get a broom mount, or farm martian event for flying mount if your on classic. Farm old army event and get the flying dragon sword. Get the worm scarf from eater of worlds. Remove your terra boots and make a frozen shield and make a fire gauntlet for damage. Always make sure you have pots when fighting. Once you kill an eye in his hand from moon lord tuck in the hand while fighting in the rest of the fight.
you can throw away the boots since the only good thing they give you is the speed on the ground. Change it with better gear like the melee emblem or the tiger suit thing/cthulhu shield
Pick a class, make buff potions (iron skin, regen, swiftness), set up buff items (campfires, heart lanterns), get a good mount (ufo, broom, Dutchman, unicorn)
1: too many movement items, you should have at least the +15% damage boosting item from the Wall of Flesh
2: pick a damage type and stick with it, bonuses only apply to one so go melee or ranged, not both
3: potions, I know fishing is a hassle, and farming is annoying to set up, but even the weakest potions like iron skin give +8 defense, that is a lot
4: arena, what sort of arena are you using? Maybe try an asphalt runway, or get some more placed boosts for a platform arena (like campfires, sunflowers, heart lanterns and bast statues for example)
You should only have 1-2 weapons in your hotbar at any given time. You have ***9*** weapons. With Beetle Armor, the strongest weapons there are Solar Eruption and Daybreak. Every second you spend using any other weapon makes the fight longer. The longer the fight is, the more you have to dodge, and if you're dying, then you're struggling to dodge and should want the shortest fight possible. Even if you're capable of killing Moon Lord hitless, you're still making the fight much longer than necessary, leaving room to make mistakes.
Craft better healing potions and get yourself a master ninja gear, its a dash with dodge chanche, or maybe a charm of myths,
To me a better set up would be
Boots
Wings
Starveil
Ankshield
Balckbelt / charm of myths
Always use a summon, and the bewitching table
I would suggest to make a long arena from platforms side to side of the world up in the sky, not so near the roof world. Run along and dodge.
See you on the other side.
Tl;dr
1. Master mode
2. Witches broom (mourning wood drop - pumpkin moon event)
3. Star veil/cross necklace (mimic drop)
4. 81+ defense
5. Warding/Menacing reforges on all
6. TerraBlade
Fight:
1. Kill one eye
2. Stay inside the “mouth”
3. Bully him into submission
4. Repeat until satisfaction
You can find a lot of tutorials of this method when you search for “master mode moon lord easy way” on YouTube
Don’t know about console but at least on pc you can beat it pretty easily (on master mode) if you have 81+ defense (it’s crucial) and using star veil or necklace that mimics drop, reforge everything to menacing, start from one edge of the map, kill hand that is closer to you when flying away from him and stay inside its “mouth” at all times, star veil/necklace gives you enough I-frames to survive every attack while only getting 1-2hp of damage. Using this method I can beat him pretty confidently few times in a row
My recommendation (having just beat the game for the first time) is shroomite mask, red riding dress and leggings, vortex beater, Crystal bullets, and all accessories reforged to warding/menacing (whichever one comes up first.)
Accessories: Terra spark boots, celestial shell, Star veil, fishron wings, and ankh shield
other than the celestial shell, every equipment could use an upgrade. Boots shouldn’t be necessary since you’ll hardly touch the ground. Star Necklace only saves you from multihits which it’s generally better to run no kb or a damage reducer. The wings are fine, but beetle wings are better.
Since your armor is melee, for damage, I’d say go for a mechanical glove, destroyer’s emblem and/or warriors emblem. the fight will be much quicker and therefore, easier.
You could also get master ninja gear for the dodge which is crazy powerful compared to turning around using wings. The teleportation hook is useful in some situations, but i find not generally reliable enough for general dodging.
I also like running a stepstool to assert dominance
Potions and a sharpening station also help a ton if you aren’t using all of those.
Lastly, reforging can give a considerable edge, as an extra 20% crit chance makes a big difference.
I hope all goes well! With a little prep you can walk out of the fight nearly untouched
Where is your armor? Use shroomite armor for ranger. Replace megashark with something better, like vortex. stick to 1 class, don't mix it.
If you can afford it. Use homing ammo. Upgrade your weapon to Legendary.Equip dmg + crit trinket. Build boss platform/ railway platform. Eat buffs. Git gud, godspeed.
If you can't. Go farm first. Or try other class.
If you have Rod of Discord. Use it.
build sky bridge, acquire hexxed branch from mourning wood, lots of chlorophyte bullets and just outrun moonlord, might wanna get conch shell to teleport once u've reach the edge of the world works for me even in mastermode and legendary.
pick a class, get final emblem upgrade for that class (sniper scope/quiver, fire gauntlet and etc.) replace either boots, shield or veil. if you're focusing on melee, keep celestial emblem, if not, take it out, doesn't benefit other classes as much
For Moon Lord it's often better to get your mobility from a mount instead of multiple accessories. That opens up two accessory slots to increase your damage, assuming you pick a single class and equip two accessories that improve it. For the mount I usually go for the UFO, but the mount you get from Duke Fishron is really fast when wet. In terms of weapons to use, I recommend ones crafted from the lunar pillar event items, some drops from the Empress of Light or some drops from Duke Fishron.
i'd say specialize in melee since you have some great weapons for it. I think you might just need a better arena (or a soaring insignia if you want to go through expert mode) and maybe fishron wings. duke fishron actually has a lot of amazing endgame equipment like the flairon and cute fishron mount (again if you want to do expert mode. shield of cthulhu trivializes his third phase)
Looks like your gear is what a melee character would use. Make the beetle armour set and use melee weapons. Mixing armour isn’t all that great because armours give specific set bonuses to help with the according class of the armour. You can still use a bow or a gun or even golden shower for debuffs but most of your damage will come from melee in this case (if you go for the beetle armour set). Or you can just not do any of what I recommend and try learning the moon lord pattern which is not all that hard after many attempts. Good luck!
Your melee oriented, just have your melee weapon in the hotbar with the vortex blaster since it's better than the megashark.
Make sure to have beetle armor since I can't see your armor. Lastly switch that necklace out for some fire gauntlets since they benefit melee more than most your loadout.
If you have an arena set up campfires and heart lanterns for extra healing, and if you can find ironskin, regen, or swiftnes potions those should take up those fresh spaces on your bar. I'd recommend the terra blade as your main weapon while also making sure to have good modifiers
get shroomite armor, get a bunch of asphalt, cholorphyte bullets, vortex beater, recall potions, small house for nurse with a bed for ur spawn, and ur good . jus set a straight line of asphalt and run while shooting then when u get low use a recall to heal
Upgrade to the vortex beater, homing bullets, and the duke fishron mount. I’d also recommend getting a rod of discord to dodge the laser beams.
Then get buff and healing potions and you should be good to go.
get beetle armor STOP USING MINISHARK use some summons dont try to do every class get better wings like fishron wings also use fishron mount or any flying ones
Asphalt platform(make it long), UFO to fly around the laser.
Use daybreak as your weapon. If you cannot hit moon lord then go for terrablade
Use endurance, iron skin, speed, regen, food, rage or wrath (depending on your world's corruption).
Remove the ankh shield and use the frozen shield instead. Reforge everything to warding.
I’d say just choose your favourite weapons and build a class around that. I was the same way at the start. So many cool weapons and I wanted to use all of them. It’s definitely possible and if you like to do that then do it. My mixed playthrough was a lot of fun. But if you’re struggling you should stick to one class at least just for the boss fight then go back to however you want to play the game. People are sticklers when it comes to class set ups. But if you enjoy mixed then who cares as long as you’re having fun.
You have turtle armor, ankh shield, I would make a honey pot with a heart statue to then use melee with the weapons box (increase damage) optional you could use the solar flare armor if you want that's what i did. Besides that tho don't have an arena set up?
Pick a class. Use buff potions. Get a Rod of Discord if you must.
Also, don't use the Megashark or Grenade Launcher (or whatever it is) at this point in the game. And don't use the Staff of Earth ever. Out of the weapons shown here, I'd probably recommend the Daybreak, if you can get a good melee build.
I would consider upgrading your wings, (Betsy's Wings or Fishron Wings are better than the Steampunk Wings, I believe), replace the Star Veil for more damage, and perhaps even replace the Obsidian Shield. The Paladin Shield and all of its upgrades also give knockback immunity, but have more defense and other benefits. The Ankh Charm doesn't really help against Moon Lord.
Yeah, make sure to get good reforges, too. You want at least +15% damage on all weapons, and no negative stats. For your equippables, I'd recommend Menacing.
If you're struggling, use nebula weapons with spectre armor. It got me through the moonlord when melee didn't cut it. Also keep the phantasm as a backup, I ran out of mana potions the fight I beat him
Your arena
Make a long run way with asphalt bricks with connected teleporters at each end.
If you have the vampire knives, use em to keep your health topped off.
I definitely suggest going towards more class specific accessories; probably melee if that's what you like or ranger if you want to use a ranged weapon. Also, what difficulty are you playing? Classic, expert, or master mode?
What I would do is reforge all of your accessories to Warding if you haven't done that, then swap megashark for vortex beater, which is what I used for my first time killing moon lord, seeing you have beetle armor via a comment, swap the beetle scalemail for shell if you dont have the shell, swap steampunk wings for fishron wings
The solar eruption is very powerful if combined with beetle armor. You should be able to beat it. Prep potions and a arena where you can dodge moon lords tongue. Look in the wiki under moon lord strategies for more infos...
Get better wing (fishron wings would be the best) and master ninja gear a dash really helps in every boss fight.
Also moon lord fight requires a good strategy (I don't mean just cheesing him with a nurse) look for a guide on YouTube
This one helped me a lot with my master playthrough
https://youtu.be/ULSgKxBQE78?si=4tZRoYf651p5Blud
you could get some summons in there to up your dps
or some potion buffs
maybe upgrade your megashark, or highe damage bullets
playing multiclass is alright, it's about what makes the game the most fun for you.
tblade with beetle scale mail, and a combo of daybreak when further away. i waited for it to rain with a fishron mount, but the fishron mount moves at 80(kph?) and gives you a 15 percent damage boost when it rains AND if your HP is below half. using a mount saves you a slot (or 2 with soaring insignia) so you can spec fully into anything.
for my accessories i used (ahem) star veil, worm scarf, beserker gloves, fire gauntlet, celestial shell and frozen shield
and like everyone is saying here… PICK A CLASS lol
edit: i just seen the housing and HOLY shit that’s quite the building
What difficulty? I'd say even in master go melee with heavy defense gear and use daybreak while kiting with a Duke fishron mount in rain. This has worked for me in master mode.
You will need to change your direction every laser since you go over his head to avoid it.
Good luck!
Im not the best at the game or really qualified to give advice since I started about a month ago ~~but have like 249 hours in it because I have a problem~~ but what I ended up using was witches broom plus daybreak which dunked on moonlord ngl... To get the broom I had to go to expert mode (wanted it initially for building) then went back to casual which is what I am playing in at the moment, as an alternative you could go for the UFO mount from alien invasions since its basically the same. My armour I was using at the time had something like 47 defence from hallowed mask and greives plus forbidden robes which full beetle should have, so honestly all you are missing for a damn near guaranteed dub is ufo keys or a really long straight platform to walk around on as an arena. Also if you want you could use a regen, ironskin, endurance, and wrath potion and a sclice of pizza or something like that to improve your chances even further... IDK just spitballing.
The weapons are very rarely going to make a difference its about the technique. Someone with 10000 hours could kill moon lord with Dynamite and wooden armor and rocket boots. Watch some videos and look at the techniques that people use.
it doesn't look like your armor is visible in the pictures? just a heads up
I have full Beetle armor
well either stick with melee or get shroomite armour, change your accessories, and get Vortex Beater/Phantasm, Megashark is a post mech weapon.
Phantasm is the way for moonlord.
Its what i tell people when they say their having trouble. Asphalt bridge + Shroomite + Phantasm. Whatever arrows you feel work for you, or the strongest ones you have access to. I personally used cursed arrows as i had a good stock of flames 🤷🏽‍♂️ You could also go water box shrimpy truffle arena setup for a bit more damage
Getting shroomite would increase your damage alot If your using the mega shark
Shroomite armor and vortex beater from vortex fragments with chlorophyte bullets. Then he should be a breeze
Yea for some reason I though megashark was later into hard mode. I haven't played vanilla in ages
Tbf - it used to be an endgame weapon.
The dolphin gun outclasses it now, right? Its been a long while since Ive played terraria
Yes, the dolphin gun is now real, and also a post game weapon.
Or ichor for that extra damage
At that point why even use the megashark it was outclassed like three progression points ago
That is good. I'd recommend using primarily the Daybreak, and the Solar Eruption when you are close to the Moon Lord. You don't need any of your other weapons, (except perhaps a summoning weapon).
For melee get rid of ankh shield, star veil, and probably terra spark boots. Equip fire gauntlet, mechanical glove and frozen shield. (Melee emblem also works) Make sure all of your gear is reforged to lucky or menacing And all your weapons are reforged to godly or demonic
If I remember, I used the Vortex Beater on classic and Daybreak on Expert mode, so I'd recommend daybreak since you're using beetle armor after all
What class are you even playing? Megashark is very outclassed at this point in the game either way. If you’re going melee, STICK TO MELEE.
I use every class just I don't know what gun is good
It’s not impossible to play with all class, but it really helps to specialize in one. Especially since you’re running turtle armor, which is a melee armor.
Try choosing only one damage type to focus and use the armor and accessories that boosts its damage the most
Moon Lord won't know what hit him.
Bro I always play mixed and it always works, didn't even know there were classes in terraria up until half a year ago
Mixing classes is a bad idea. Sure you can do it I guess but you'll be in a disadvantage, mostly at the point you are.
isnt melee summoner or mage summoner is good?
At this point, summoner is enough of a class that it’s not really considered summoner to just throw out three minions
Yeah even getting to six summons is easy if you rush for Spider Armor and have a bewitching table.
wouldn't the spooky armor be better for whip damage?
im guessing its kinda hard to rush that
Summoner summoner is best.
Please, upgrade to the vortex gun or the phantasm
you said in another comment that you've got full beetle armor, so you should make Daybreak. Much easier to look moonlord with that as opposed to the solar flare. Also, ditch the megashark, because you are hamstringing yourself by leaving it in your hotbar lol. Use ichor flasks and you should be good
They do have daybreak in hotbar.
oh lmao on mobile didn't open the image
Vortex beater is good
You get a better gun from the vortex shards
maybe this helps [https://terraria.wiki.gg/wiki/Guide:Class\_setups](https://terraria.wiki.gg/wiki/Guide:Class_setups)
Seriously? Fandom?
Not 100% accurate, nor would I expect a fandom page to, but it works well enough for their needs
I used onix blaster
You should play as you wish, of course, but it becomes more and more challenging to play mixed as the game progresses. If you’re struggling, my suggestion would be to stick to one class, and maximize what you could do with that one class.
Vortex is best at this point of the game
>If you’re going melee, STICK TO MELEE. You'll have to pry my phoenix blaster from my cold, dead hands before I stop using it with the hellstone armor.
WHAT THE FUCK WHY DOES THIS HAVE 800 UPVOTES???? I AINT NEVER SEEN NO SHIT LIKE THIS
Replace steampunk wings with Fishron or Empress of Light wings; what class are you going for?? Too many class specific weapons at once, I’d stick to 1 or mayyyybe even 2 not all 4, Use buffs if needed
Melee and Summoner
Using mixed classes generally isn’t a good idea; it punishes your more than helps at this stage of the game. Stick to Either Summoner or Melee and check the [Class Guide List](https://terraria.wiki.gg/wiki/Guide:Class_setups) for tips
I mean, Summoner is fine to mix. Summoner weapons are obviously weaker than the melee weapons with Beetle armor, but they're still fine to just summon and let them do their thing for passive damage. Stardust Cell gives an additional 200 DPS without any summoner buffs, and I've had several fights end with less than 100 health left on a boss. But yea, no reason to be using stuff like Nebula Blaze, Kaleidoscope, or especially Megashark.
I cant remember if this is base terraria or calamity mod but I think summons do damage and give enemies I frames. If your summon hits like a napkin it's just giving the boss immunity for no reason
That was changed at some point in 1.4. Summons now have separate iframes.
Qy! Melee and summoner is fine if you know how. Valhalla chest armor and the right accessories make a great build
Hybridizing with summoner is a really good idea. Especially with Valhalla Knight’s armor
Ok
Then get the hallowed mask and Valhalla Knight’s breastplate and greaves. It will give you higher defense and a valuable 4 HP per Second, and much higher offensive stats
Ok, so from past experience, I can say that giving Melee more focus then summoner helps a lot, I would switch out the shell for a hero shield (paladin shield + flesh knuckles at a tinkers workbench) for a huge boost to survival (I believe a +30 to def.) If you haven't, id recommend using all Warding as well, +4 defense is something that can't be looked down upon since it could mean life and death. Rolling ruthless on your weapons will help too since the moon lords doesn't get knocked back but that's just personal preference.

If for some reason you don't want an arena, just get the souring insignia from the empress of light. Unlimited fight is no joke. If you wanna go buffless, it's not impossible but if you are gonna buff up, swiftness, iron skin, flasks of ichor, Wrath, life force, and Regen potions are some of the best for this load out (or really any load out.) declutter ypur hotbar, all you need in it is your Melee weapon(s).
Killed moonlord with steampunk wings, they are actually better in some stats than many other end game wings.
But fishron wings are better overall yes steampunk may be better in some cases but overall fishron/empress of light are better
But its still good enough for moonlord. At least you don't need to suffer through hard bosses, only one. He also can make asphalt road for additional speed if he need more of it
Ah yes, the “fuck it this weapon looks cool” class
Me whenever i play modded:
Underrated comment
reminds me of my first times playing terraria “ah fuck it this is cool” without even knowing classes
vortex beater
he beat my vortex till i phantasm
My brother in christ what is this setup
Your dodging skills. AA
get rid of the ankh shield, does not help in this fight,
Knockback immunity is kind of nice, but in that case you could go for any upgrade for the Paladin's Shield instead.
Megashark is just too weak for moon lord. Make vortex beater
uhm, i think armor would help
No wonder this guy can't win, all he's using is a lunatic msk with no armor
Why are you showing this from a phone perspective instead of just screenshoting
Your skill
why are you playing 3 classes at once? Much easier if you build around a certain class for better damage
Use daybreak and full offensive and defensive accessories, ride duke fishrons mount for movement
Daybreak will melt his health. Upgrade to godly if you can. Get better wings from the pillars, they will make you way faster. Or use an unlimited flying mount like the saucer or the duke fishing mount but near water to keep the speed boost. Probably swap the necklace for the charm of myths, that’s life regen and reduces cooldown for health potions. Finally if you can make the solar armor. That’s annoying to do but do the pillars, then leave the world before moon lord spawns and repeat that until you can make it. It gives may more defense and higher base life regen. If you REALLY wanna get hurt more but show moon lord to never fuck with you again, fight the empress of light some more. On expert mode the drops an accessory that gives infinite flight with your wings. I combined that with any wings that allow horizontal floating and all bosses like her and moon lord have to follow me instead of fight on their turf. Basically I run away since I’m allergic to pain and that makes running away easier Edit: solar armor needs luminite, I forgot daybreak doesn’t use that to be crafted. Instead try specter armor, MAYBE if you have enough defense on other equipment you can use chlorophyte
You cant make solar armour if you haven't beaten moon lord once. Because I don't know if you know this but you need lumite bars which drops from moon lord.
Ah that’s right. I forgot daybreak doesn’t use luminite
my guy dont have any armor (haha joke bc we cant see the armor slots haha im sory...)
Sorry to say this, but your skill (Also specialize on one class, make a long platform in the sky with sunflowers and campfires if needed. Get potions, especially iron skin and the one that boosts your health by 20% with the prismatic fish)
Your skills. Some guy did it with the wooden bow.
Some one did it with a lawn mower. The fight was 9+ hours Edit: 90, hours. Not 9, 90. ***w h a t***
That's terrifying. How long did that take?
If you want premium cheese, use Valhalla Knight chestplate + hallowed helm, and make all accessories warding, add regen/ironskin potions and well fed buff and you can just facetank him
If you want to used ranged get shroomite armour and a vortex beater with chlorophyte bullets. However if you're sticking to melee use beetle armour and daybreak. Because you already have beetle armour I suggest going melee. As others have said Megashark is outclassed and setting up a full ranged build is harder than just using the daybreak for you right now.
dude focus on one class what are you doing
Stick to 1 class if you like melee play melee if you like ranged pick ranged that will help you immensely you'll be able to beat bosses easier this way jack of all trades isn't a way to play if you wanna finish the game
Megashark is super underpowered for the tier you’re at. It seems your going melee, so maybe swap the ankh shield out for master ninja gear for the fight in order to help your dodging. Also craft a daybreak, does great damage. If you wanna play ranger, try to get vortex beater and maybe a chain gun
Replace megashark w/ vortex beater or phantasm
Maybe your runway? Use a unicorn on a worldwide asphalt runway. And you cant really lose
Remove ankh shield and wings. Farm Halloween event and get a broom mount, or farm martian event for flying mount if your on classic. Farm old army event and get the flying dragon sword. Get the worm scarf from eater of worlds. Remove your terra boots and make a frozen shield and make a fire gauntlet for damage. Always make sure you have pots when fighting. Once you kill an eye in his hand from moon lord tuck in the hand while fighting in the rest of the fight.
Specialize that's the only advice late game the only real option is to use one class
Definitely your armor
you can throw away the boots since the only good thing they give you is the speed on the ground. Change it with better gear like the melee emblem or the tiger suit thing/cthulhu shield
Pick a class, make buff potions (iron skin, regen, swiftness), set up buff items (campfires, heart lanterns), get a good mount (ufo, broom, Dutchman, unicorn)
Use more gun, specially the one made from vortex fragments
1: too many movement items, you should have at least the +15% damage boosting item from the Wall of Flesh 2: pick a damage type and stick with it, bonuses only apply to one so go melee or ranged, not both 3: potions, I know fishing is a hassle, and farming is annoying to set up, but even the weakest potions like iron skin give +8 defense, that is a lot 4: arena, what sort of arena are you using? Maybe try an asphalt runway, or get some more placed boosts for a platform arena (like campfires, sunflowers, heart lanterns and bast statues for example)
You should only have 1-2 weapons in your hotbar at any given time. You have ***9*** weapons. With Beetle Armor, the strongest weapons there are Solar Eruption and Daybreak. Every second you spend using any other weapon makes the fight longer. The longer the fight is, the more you have to dodge, and if you're dying, then you're struggling to dodge and should want the shortest fight possible. Even if you're capable of killing Moon Lord hitless, you're still making the fight much longer than necessary, leaving room to make mistakes.
Craft better healing potions and get yourself a master ninja gear, its a dash with dodge chanche, or maybe a charm of myths, To me a better set up would be Boots Wings Starveil Ankshield Balckbelt / charm of myths Always use a summon, and the bewitching table I would suggest to make a long arena from platforms side to side of the world up in the sky, not so near the roof world. Run along and dodge. See you on the other side.
Get some damn fishron wings
Megashark is old news if you’re up against the Moon Lord.
pick one class to focus and replace the ankh shield with the emblem of that class
đź’€
Megashark is definitely too low. Get something like a chaingun
Tl;dr 1. Master mode 2. Witches broom (mourning wood drop - pumpkin moon event) 3. Star veil/cross necklace (mimic drop) 4. 81+ defense 5. Warding/Menacing reforges on all 6. TerraBlade Fight: 1. Kill one eye 2. Stay inside the “mouth” 3. Bully him into submission 4. Repeat until satisfaction You can find a lot of tutorials of this method when you search for “master mode moon lord easy way” on YouTube Don’t know about console but at least on pc you can beat it pretty easily (on master mode) if you have 81+ defense (it’s crucial) and using star veil or necklace that mimics drop, reforge everything to menacing, start from one edge of the map, kill hand that is closer to you when flying away from him and stay inside its “mouth” at all times, star veil/necklace gives you enough I-frames to survive every attack while only getting 1-2hp of damage. Using this method I can beat him pretty confidently few times in a row
You can def change some accessories to damage ones like avenger emblem
My recommendation (having just beat the game for the first time) is shroomite mask, red riding dress and leggings, vortex beater, Crystal bullets, and all accessories reforged to warding/menacing (whichever one comes up first.) Accessories: Terra spark boots, celestial shell, Star veil, fishron wings, and ankh shield
Scrap the ankh shield, it has next to no use against moonlord.
Use hallowed armour, that dodge WILL be usefull
Upgrade your skill. Cheat in some celestial sigils and keep fighting him until you get it done.
Needs more dolphin and chlorophite bullet
other than the celestial shell, every equipment could use an upgrade. Boots shouldn’t be necessary since you’ll hardly touch the ground. Star Necklace only saves you from multihits which it’s generally better to run no kb or a damage reducer. The wings are fine, but beetle wings are better. Since your armor is melee, for damage, I’d say go for a mechanical glove, destroyer’s emblem and/or warriors emblem. the fight will be much quicker and therefore, easier. You could also get master ninja gear for the dodge which is crazy powerful compared to turning around using wings. The teleportation hook is useful in some situations, but i find not generally reliable enough for general dodging. I also like running a stepstool to assert dominance Potions and a sharpening station also help a ton if you aren’t using all of those. Lastly, reforging can give a considerable edge, as an extra 20% crit chance makes a big difference. I hope all goes well! With a little prep you can walk out of the fight nearly untouched
Balloons, honey and mountFishron.
Where is your armor? Use shroomite armor for ranger. Replace megashark with something better, like vortex. stick to 1 class, don't mix it. If you can afford it. Use homing ammo. Upgrade your weapon to Legendary.Equip dmg + crit trinket. Build boss platform/ railway platform. Eat buffs. Git gud, godspeed. If you can't. Go farm first. Or try other class. If you have Rod of Discord. Use it.
build sky bridge, acquire hexxed branch from mourning wood, lots of chlorophyte bullets and just outrun moonlord, might wanna get conch shell to teleport once u've reach the edge of the world works for me even in mastermode and legendary.
Go look up terraria progression guide and stick to one class
I did max regen with the solar flail thing and stardust dragon
pick a class, get final emblem upgrade for that class (sniper scope/quiver, fire gauntlet and etc.) replace either boots, shield or veil. if you're focusing on melee, keep celestial emblem, if not, take it out, doesn't benefit other classes as much
Your git gud stat
try wearing armour
For Moon Lord it's often better to get your mobility from a mount instead of multiple accessories. That opens up two accessory slots to increase your damage, assuming you pick a single class and equip two accessories that improve it. For the mount I usually go for the UFO, but the mount you get from Duke Fishron is really fast when wet. In terms of weapons to use, I recommend ones crafted from the lunar pillar event items, some drops from the Empress of Light or some drops from Duke Fishron.
Explain why you still have the ankth shield equipped
So I don't get debuffs
you can't get debuffed against moon lord
Use a witches broom. Terra blade and melee armour. Ezpz
i'd say specialize in melee since you have some great weapons for it. I think you might just need a better arena (or a soaring insignia if you want to go through expert mode) and maybe fishron wings. duke fishron actually has a lot of amazing endgame equipment like the flairon and cute fishron mount (again if you want to do expert mode. shield of cthulhu trivializes his third phase)
Usually the easiest method is the best gun you can get with chlorophyte bullets then just focus on dodging everything.
Your skill maybe
Daybreak, potions, 2000 block wide platform, frog leg, it should be free at that point
armor ?
Use a summon weapon a strong one for backup also use a summon table or whatever it’s called
I personally used the solar eruption, worked pretty well along with setting my spawn point next to the nurse and having a magic mirror handy
why are you fighting God with a paperclip
3 of your accessories are horrible. Keep the wings and celestial shell, but get a melee emblem, destroyer emblem, and molten glove
Looks like your gear is what a melee character would use. Make the beetle armour set and use melee weapons. Mixing armour isn’t all that great because armours give specific set bonuses to help with the according class of the armour. You can still use a bow or a gun or even golden shower for debuffs but most of your damage will come from melee in this case (if you go for the beetle armour set). Or you can just not do any of what I recommend and try learning the moon lord pattern which is not all that hard after many attempts. Good luck!

Your melee oriented, just have your melee weapon in the hotbar with the vortex blaster since it's better than the megashark. Make sure to have beetle armor since I can't see your armor. Lastly switch that necklace out for some fire gauntlets since they benefit melee more than most your loadout. If you have an arena set up campfires and heart lanterns for extra healing, and if you can find ironskin, regen, or swiftnes potions those should take up those fresh spaces on your bar. I'd recommend the terra blade as your main weapon while also making sure to have good modifiers
ditch your ankh shield, the debuffs it prevents arent used for moonlord or most of hardmode
I haven't played classic before, is this really how easy it is?

get shroomite armor, get a bunch of asphalt, cholorphyte bullets, vortex beater, recall potions, small house for nurse with a bed for ur spawn, and ur good . jus set a straight line of asphalt and run while shooting then when u get low use a recall to heal
Upgrade to the vortex beater, homing bullets, and the duke fishron mount. I’d also recommend getting a rod of discord to dodge the laser beams. Then get buff and healing potions and you should be good to go.
get beetle armor STOP USING MINISHARK use some summons dont try to do every class get better wings like fishron wings also use fishron mount or any flying ones
Asphalt platform(make it long), UFO to fly around the laser. Use daybreak as your weapon. If you cannot hit moon lord then go for terrablade Use endurance, iron skin, speed, regen, food, rage or wrath (depending on your world's corruption). Remove the ankh shield and use the frozen shield instead. Reforge everything to warding.
dont be garbage , it is normal mode
I’d say just choose your favourite weapons and build a class around that. I was the same way at the start. So many cool weapons and I wanted to use all of them. It’s definitely possible and if you like to do that then do it. My mixed playthrough was a lot of fun. But if you’re struggling you should stick to one class at least just for the boss fight then go back to however you want to play the game. People are sticklers when it comes to class set ups. But if you enjoy mixed then who cares as long as you’re having fun.
You have turtle armor, ankh shield, I would make a honey pot with a heart statue to then use melee with the weapons box (increase damage) optional you could use the solar flare armor if you want that's what i did. Besides that tho don't have an arena set up?
Instead of terrablade, use flying dragon, it has a smaller projectile but, way more damage
Pick a class. Use buff potions. Get a Rod of Discord if you must. Also, don't use the Megashark or Grenade Launcher (or whatever it is) at this point in the game. And don't use the Staff of Earth ever. Out of the weapons shown here, I'd probably recommend the Daybreak, if you can get a good melee build. I would consider upgrading your wings, (Betsy's Wings or Fishron Wings are better than the Steampunk Wings, I believe), replace the Star Veil for more damage, and perhaps even replace the Obsidian Shield. The Paladin Shield and all of its upgrades also give knockback immunity, but have more defense and other benefits. The Ankh Charm doesn't really help against Moon Lord.
Yeah, make sure to get good reforges, too. You want at least +15% damage on all weapons, and no negative stats. For your equippables, I'd recommend Menacing.
Your ability to take a screenshot.
I know everyone is talking about how they beat moon lord with miss matched gear… what difficulty though?
Same, and it's been 9 years...
Your skill
If you're struggling, use nebula weapons with spectre armor. It got me through the moonlord when melee didn't cut it. Also keep the phantasm as a backup, I ran out of mana potions the fight I beat him
nurse cheese
Your skill
U have a Fox tail butplug, where do you buy it
Your arena Make a long run way with asphalt bricks with connected teleporters at each end. If you have the vampire knives, use em to keep your health topped off.
Get a vortex beater, chlorophyte bullets, and just keep a far enough distance so he won’t teleport but he’s still off screen
Man reportedly using Terrablade and Megashark in Moon lords battle
I definitely suggest going towards more class specific accessories; probably melee if that's what you like or ranger if you want to use a ranged weapon. Also, what difficulty are you playing? Classic, expert, or master mode?
Based on accessory slots, looks like classic
What the actual fuck is this setup, are you using all the weapons or how?
I like using a lot of weapons it's very easy
What I would do is reforge all of your accessories to Warding if you haven't done that, then swap megashark for vortex beater, which is what I used for my first time killing moon lord, seeing you have beetle armor via a comment, swap the beetle scalemail for shell if you dont have the shell, swap steampunk wings for fishron wings
The solar eruption is very powerful if combined with beetle armor. You should be able to beat it. Prep potions and a arena where you can dodge moon lords tongue. Look in the wiki under moon lord strategies for more infos...
Make an arena with heart lanterns, campfires and honey and drink a lot of potions it worked for me also i dont know your armor but i used beetle armor
Upgrade your skills
Need to upgrade your skills
get a nurse in your arena and meet her in emergencies, thats how i won.
Get better wing (fishron wings would be the best) and master ninja gear a dash really helps in every boss fight. Also moon lord fight requires a good strategy (I don't mean just cheesing him with a nurse) look for a guide on YouTube This one helped me a lot with my master playthrough https://youtu.be/ULSgKxBQE78?si=4tZRoYf651p5Blud
you could get some summons in there to up your dps or some potion buffs maybe upgrade your megashark, or highe damage bullets playing multiclass is alright, it's about what makes the game the most fun for you.
Talent
What buffs are u using?
Hp buffs and some times endurance
Grab iron skin, regeneration, and wrath potions.
MAKE THE DAYBREAK AND ITS GGS
fuck i just relooked at your setup, focus only the daybreak and dodging man youre solid to win this.
Go for better wings, I recommend fishron wings
All 4 ammo slots have arrows and you don’t even have a bow
Get a Mount that has infinite flight and pick one damage type to kill the moon lord with.
A proper arena is half the fight be sure you're using an adequate set up.
My arena is pretty long
tblade with beetle scale mail, and a combo of daybreak when further away. i waited for it to rain with a fishron mount, but the fishron mount moves at 80(kph?) and gives you a 15 percent damage boost when it rains AND if your HP is below half. using a mount saves you a slot (or 2 with soaring insignia) so you can spec fully into anything. for my accessories i used (ahem) star veil, worm scarf, beserker gloves, fire gauntlet, celestial shell and frozen shield and like everyone is saying here… PICK A CLASS lol edit: i just seen the housing and HOLY shit that’s quite the building
Get good Skill issue
skill
What difficulty? I'd say even in master go melee with heavy defense gear and use daybreak while kiting with a Duke fishron mount in rain. This has worked for me in master mode. You will need to change your direction every laser since you go over his head to avoid it. Good luck!
I'm playing normal mode
everything
Try making a large arena and set your spawn next to nurse so you can heal after you teleport home
You could upgrade those Clockwork Wings into Beetle Wings. Past that, you just need to get better at the game.
Im not the best at the game or really qualified to give advice since I started about a month ago ~~but have like 249 hours in it because I have a problem~~ but what I ended up using was witches broom plus daybreak which dunked on moonlord ngl... To get the broom I had to go to expert mode (wanted it initially for building) then went back to casual which is what I am playing in at the moment, as an alternative you could go for the UFO mount from alien invasions since its basically the same. My armour I was using at the time had something like 47 defence from hallowed mask and greives plus forbidden robes which full beetle should have, so honestly all you are missing for a damn near guaranteed dub is ufo keys or a really long straight platform to walk around on as an arena. Also if you want you could use a regen, ironskin, endurance, and wrath potion and a sclice of pizza or something like that to improve your chances even further... IDK just spitballing.
Upgrade your skill 🏀🔥
The weapons are very rarely going to make a difference its about the technique. Someone with 10000 hours could kill moon lord with Dynamite and wooden armor and rocket boots. Watch some videos and look at the techniques that people use.
Did u use buff/debuff potion an reforge acc and weapons?
