I reached full boredom in like 5 minites

use mods

Im on console

ok

Yea, having the ultimate weapon is actually boring because it mows down the MoonLord in 20 sec in master mode.

how do you even manage to get it to do that?
already in expert i struggle to get it to phase 2 because those flying eyeballs that move at mach 6 take away half your health
is it just something i can't do because of my skill issues or do you need some super special tactic and minmaxing to pull it off?

Get full solar armour.
All menacing accessories that deal most damage such as berserker glove, etc.
Legendary Zenith.
Potions that increase damage.
Other buffs like that, from other sources.
Sit in honey, have a heart lantern and campfire nearby.
Summon ML
Hold attack button for as long as you need.

(This all requires you to have beat ML at least twice already)

full solar armor: ehh kind of, i have obtained the whole set, but i use a combo of i think chloro helmet (better damage boost), solar chestplate, and some leggings that have either increased damage or attack speed or smth (i also just dont like the shield of full solar armor)
all menacing: pretty sure, yeah, and i have some of the best stuff in the game i think though most of them are just "stuff that is practically required at this stage" like wings and whatnot (+ expert and master each add 1 accessory slot so that's even better as i have even more damage-increasing stuff in those slots)
legendary zenith: ofc
potions: too lazy to find the stuff to make them, and they're temporary anyways so i don't use them a lot
other buffs: the sharpening station and those other similar ones are semi-permamnent now so that's okay
honey, heart lantern, campfire: i have them in my old arena that was only useful back when the death beam didn't pass through blocks

so... really it's the armor, potions, and skill issues that prevent me from being able to shred expert/master ML
either way, thanks for the help

Also make in on a rlly high platform. Its fine. Harpys and wyverns will be irrelevent.

No problem, glad I could help!

The strategy i used to beat moonlord the first time is good but lame. I just made a 5x5box with a one block high pool of honey in it with some campfires and jarred hearts. You can also use regen potions. All the regen buffs from the honey, the campfires, and jarred hearts and the regen potion will stack, giving you godly regen. If you want you can also combine a regen band and philosophers stone and equip it. I also recommend using summons and melee accessories (avengers/warriors emblem are both good) Anyway, make a solar eruption from solar fragments (since it can attack thru walls) and sit in the box. Close off the box (you can use plain stone blocks btw) and sit in it. Summon moonlord, then use solar eruption to target its hands and eyes. And voire là. The deed is done.

i did a very very similar thing when 1.3 first came out, good old honey+heart+campfire with solar eruption

That strat still works in 1.4. In fact i did my strat yesterday. Yeah. Yesterday.

oh nice
still, i just use the Zenith cause of similar mechanics but superior range, damage, and controllability

Ngl if you already have zenith the point of fighting moonlord is just non existent. Maybe for a challenge sure but if you want a challenge with zenith try fighting daytime eol

yeah lmao

Perhaps it’s the journey not the destination

*realization*
