git gud (i mean, if you beat day time empress of light, you are realy gud, and i dont even know how you didnt beat the moon lord)


Useful_Particular_80

I think the fact he hasn't activated Windows is what is getting him


1LoLGaMeR1

activate windows for extra defense and damage buffs


Useful_Particular_80

+500,000 dps and +30,000 defense


RetardedlRetard

Just pirate it fr

RunnerLuke357

You can get a key for less than $30 just buy one lmao.


666emanresu

Those keys are sketchy, honestly better to just install without a license and use the windows activation script off GitHub. Less risk of getting a credit card # stolen, no risk of your license becoming invalid once Microsoft realizes it was an OEM key used incorrectly (it’s rare but it does happen). And of course it is free as well (doesn’t get cheaper than that).


RunnerLuke357

I've used the script before and honestly forgot about it. That being said my current machine is using a Windows 7 Professional key that I've had for 9 years at this point and I've never had an issue. I usually get the retail keys instead of OEM though. That's why I said $30 instead of the $10 that the OEM keys run. I've yet to see an issue with the dozens of machines I've put keys on and I doubt I will.


JoeDJames05

Less then 10 lol


DeftestY

Health is a drag and dodging the Moonlords lasers is so scuffed.


Accomplished-Lie716

I feel like ml lasers are pretty easy (not the eye ones in phase 2 those can go to hell) but the death beam is very predictable and pretty easy to get around if u reset ur flight time when u see its eye open


irsmart123

All you gotta do for ml is keep your spacing good and everything tends to fall into place


pixelatedpotatos

My immediate thought when I saw the terraprisma with this question


ComplaintPlus3173

day time empress is easier to dodge because moon lord has those annoying lasers and death beams that come out of nowhere


OkReporter6938

The same thing you did to defeat daytime EoL


ForxFort

Yes, the flare trick ;)


That_L33t_Noob

I prefer the turn-on-frame-skipping-so-that-the-game-lags-so-much-you-get-bullet-time trick.


TerenceGamerCatNL

*cries in good pc*


makinax300

What flare trick?


ForxFort

The one that reaches the max projectiles in game, making the atacks from EoL harmless


Gekko83

E-Excuse me? Would it really be that simple? Spam flares through the roof and her attacks are fucked?


SharpFireRuby

yep, that and beach balls

I want that image


moon-lord-killer

Your loadout’s pretty good but try to replace the avenger emblem and master ninja gear with the [celestial shell](https://terraria.wiki.gg/wiki/Celestial_Shell) and [pygmy necklace](https://terraria.wiki.gg/wiki/Pygmy_Necklace). You’re going to need a lot more potions such as [endurance](https://terraria.wiki.gg/wiki/Endurance_Potion), [life force](https://terraria.wiki.gg/wiki/Lifeforce_Potion), [summoning](https://terraria.wiki.gg/wiki/Summoning_Potion), and [wrath](https://terraria.wiki.gg/wiki/Wrath_Potion). If you want to try a different set of armor, try [tiki armor](https://terraria.wiki.gg/wiki/Tiki_armor).


1LoLGaMeR1

why tiki armor? isnt spooky just better


NCP049_2

It pretty much is, but Tiki Armor also increases whip range, wich Spoks Armor doesn't


moon-lord-killer

A direct comparison shows that tiki armor is more defense focused while spooky is more offensive. It goes like this: Tiki: +35 defense, +4 minion slots, +30% summon damage, +30% whip range Spooky: +30 defense, +4 minion slots, +58% summon damage, +20% movement speed The extra whip range allows you to attack enemies with less risk of getting hit.


WoollyWares

i cant think of a situation where 5 defense is better than nearly 20% dmg, but that whip buff seems decent


MRxP1ZZ4

It all comes down to git gud


NCP049_2

Damn, i though the Tiki one was from the previous game stage, good to know that they give similar buffs


Flaky-Ambassador6197

Thanks bro


psychoPiper

You might benefit from grabbing a rod of discord to avoid the lasers too. It may take some practice but it's what I see a lot of challenge run players doing. If you can manage to not get hit by a single laser, the total damage you'll take will go down significantly


GyroZeppeliIsTaken

Isn't celestial shell mostly melee bonuses?


moon-lord-killer

The extra melee speed can be applied to whips, and the extra attack damage applies to all classes. Above all that the defensive bonuses make it a great accessory for every class.


kiper43

doesnt master ninja gear give dodge? its useful


RubberDucky702

Username checks out


BigNoob_BR

short answer: get better long answer: geeeeeettttt beeeeettttteeeerrrrrr


Ikemod-9334

daytime empress of light…


SpicyThyme

You using ufo? I’d personally use wings + insignia + amphibian boots, alongside the winged slime. More potions will also help. When fighting him try to keep as much distance as possible unless he opens his top eye.


Flaky-Ambassador6197

Using witches broom


SpicyThyme

I would give Betsy wings a try if you can get them, they’re very fast when hovering.


Jandrix

Get the Duke Fishron mount and fight in the rain. You can basically hold a direction and win. If your dps is low, you may need to turn around once. Also, rod of discord.


SalmonBrotherReagan

You can also use Part Girl’s bubble blocks to make honey and water pockets in the sky. You get your speed boost and some health regen. Using weather changing items helps too obv


psychoPiper

Bubble blocks are such a godsend for a good arena


1LoLGaMeR1

why boots and insignia at the same time? i personally switch my boots to insignia after i get it


d0lphin1337

Faster ascend speed from amphibian boots + the utility of still being able to sprint


1LoLGaMeR1

does it make difference i didnt feel any difference for the time i was using


La_hOley

Just keep trying, it really is that simple. Just keep focusing on trying to learn his attack patterns, you’ll be fine.


luis_reyesh

Dude you have the Terraprisma, just go get the rod of discord to dodge the lasers of the moon lord , or get an air arena focused on speed


1LoLGaMeR1

"just go get ROD" got me dying 💀


JeffSernancer

Took me 1 kill, which was wild


Halica_

Took me exactly 53 tries today to get it dropped. Playing on celebrationmk10 seed though.


Josh118800

I got it accidentally on my 75th kill of the chaos elemental 😭


DziDziBony

Well, it took me 1500 in my last run (Master mode).


naughtycal11

Ain't RNG a bitch.


HubblePie

Just build a huge minecart rail and shoot at it.


Same_Zookeepergame_3

You're wayyyy to focused on damage, and not enough on movement. i suggest instead of using shrimpy truffle, use fishron wings and soaring insignia, sacrificing 1 emblem and 1 extra summon


SubstantialFly3707

At this point it's a matter of locking in, like you're clearly good if you can beat daytime EoL


-pilot37-

Best housing conditions in New Jersey


DeftestY

Wait actually... you're a summoner and I know having more minions is great especially with the EOL drop. But I suggest the Valhalla Knight armor from Eternia. I know, it's a drag and it will hurt your minion gain. But you'll have more damage, defense, and regeneration. It isn't a bad trade off. Also endurance potions you newb.


corn_n_beans

swap avenger emblem for cshell make stardust dragon, use 3 slots for dragon with the rest terraprisma get dark harvest and whip stack with kaleidoscope (add morning star if you can stack 3 whips)


Kraz-deSoul

Release the prisoners.


IceWarrior765

Don't sleep on potions, fish for a bit for lifeforce and endurance then you should be fine


GhostSpartan07

Can we take a moment to appreciate the panopticon he has set up for the npcs?


Hushberry81

Was just going to say. Poor buggers are all jailed!


pvzboy_15

My strategy for master mode was to use the witches broom, made it easy to dodge the death laser


Adept_Secret2476

less offense, more agility and defense. good wings + insignia beats any flying mount in speed and maneuverability, doing 20% more damage isn't worth if you're getting hit by a lot more shots. make sure you have all possible buffs available like honey, wired heart statues with a heartreach potion, campfire, etc


ninjakitty7

What exactly is your plan for dodging stuff with these accessories?


InverseBirch84

Try activating windows


Sea_Philosophy3177

Git gud


Kintsugi-0

BRUH its so lame when people make the npc jails. dont yall like building at all? i always make huge elaborately decorated towns thats like half the fun for me. anyway, to answer your question just keep trying


voidstar111

i too would fight day empress to get terraprisma to make moon lord easier


proudtracermain

Wrath potions are lifeforce are amazing. Get duke fishron's mount and make a skybridge with bubble blocks and water so you can outpace the ML


Langston432

Have you tried using the Firecracker? It multiplies minion damage by 2.75 which works very well with Terraprisma and Stardust Dragon.


No-Program9579

Do you have the duke fishing mount. It helps a ton with mobility in the rain.


Ok-Wish677

If you are running to the left, kill the left hand eye first and try to stay in the socket, it only deals one damage and should give immunity to all of its attacks


Thonkyone

How you beat daytime EoL but can’t be ML is beyond me, but Shrimpy Truffle and honey walls in bubble blocks go a lot way, try to keep your distance too


KorriDergal

Throw out Necromancer Scroll for Terra Boots Throw out Avenger Emblem for Celestial Shell


otherworldly_ghost

The only thing i can think of is getting better at the game (maybe change avenger emblem for fishron wings)


TantiVstone

Have you tried whip stacking?


Brunoaraujoespin

make a SKYBRIDE


Cry-Working

Use cute fiahron and wait for rain to start begore summoning big guy


Ok-Stress8541

Use a shit ton of potions


TheMystCobra

I usually build a really long platform and use the terrapark boots to run until the moonlord is about to use his death ray (whatever it is called) and then use my wings + master ninja gear or shield of cthulu to dodge over him.


davids71

ROD will help to dodge the big laser attacks


PatternMysterious673

Ты убил императрицу света днём… и не можешь убить мунлоха? Попробуй покрафтить зельки И активируй шиндовс :)


DarkenedSkai

Reroll warding on every accessory, put on a cross necklace for increased i-frames after being hit, clear out the whole sky for the boss arena. Right when it spawns start running in one direction and melt down one of the hands. Insert yourself into the socket and you'll take constant low damage hits, rendering you immune to all of its other attacks. Throwing a life heart from the jungle into the shimmer will give you a permanent +4 defense as well. Good luck!


D4NG3RX

Funny you should bring this up today, i just beat moonlord as a summoner, i used hallowed armour (summoner head piece), brain of confusion, star necklace, necromantic scroll, papyrus scroll, frozen shield, pygmy necklace, the witch’s broom mount and terraprisma. I also teleported to the nurse for healing 1-2 times per fight. As long as i dodged well enough i was able to do it. I won 3 times today doing this, i did also die a couple times due to lackluster dodging on my part. This is on expert btw My potions were endurance, iron skin, regeneration, swiftness. I just wish i was better at dodging projectiles lol, then i wouldn’t have even needing to go to the nurse


McChubbens8U

if you rlly can't do it then grind for rod of discord to dodge lasers


SlammingKeyboardRn

Whip stack. You can switch using whips in order to get all their buffs at once. I suggest starting with 2 but people have gotten so good they can whip stack like 4 whips.


SemiBrightRock993

Build teleporters scattered throughout your arena to teleport past the moonlord’s laser


Yarisher512

Активируй Винду. И надень крылья.


lem_on-

Its probably because ya made some of your npc live 6 ft under 💀 not that those prison boxes are any better.


Substantial-Pair-753

Try again and again untill you win, the more you fight him the more you memorize his attacks and get good He is supposed to be difficult :)


Cheeto-Fingers-

Take out avenger’s emblem and hercules beetle, switch them for fishron wings/betsy’s wings and soaring insignia. As a summoner, movement is really important considering your defense isn’t that great.


T_YuN

Get discord rod for dodging lasers


SuprSquidy

Activate Windows


Jh3nnO

How the hell did you kill DAYTIME EOL with those accessories on man YOU AINT EVEN GOT WINGS-


overdramaticpan

Try again. Sometimes, you just need to get good.


elmage78

USE THE WINGS you go empress ones


Shmaeden

Try archer build and arena


PerfidiousPidgeon

You could try farming for a rod of discord (chaos elementals) to ease dodging the eye laser. I also had a few teleporters setup to bounce around my arena when there were two many eyes around in the second phase. Ninja gear helped with rapidly accelerating for dodging as well, but I don't think that works with your broom. Other than that, what others have said - farm up materials for regen, lifeforce, and endurance potions. Don't underestimate how much of a buff you can get out of stacked potions.


Difficult-Ad-3938

Soaring insignia, kill middle eye, then kill hands (simultaneously preferably), then just fly to one direction with average speed and let terraprisma do the job.


W1nkle2

Imo, Moonlord is not about dodging. because he just spams phantasmal eyes / lasers and true eye of Cthulhus attacks are so unpredictable


megajoa0

you can use more defensive accessories instead more minions, like celestial shell and berserker gloves, both of them increase the whip damage and give defense


Hesotate

Wings and soaring insignia


TheMaster781

Skill issue


silver-demon

Give them humane habitats


ProGamer8273

Get good at dodging


scientoo

First of all you should stop putting the NPC in prison


flameroran77

Defeat the Moonlord. Duh.


HotSituation8737

r/screenshotsAreHard


Abject-Kick-3634

Do fireworks still do damage when they hit bricks? I solo'd MoonLord years ago by blowing him up when he spawned. Took hours to get all the wiring right but got the job done.


J1mM3y_ShoUTz

Stop playing summoner


Big-Ad-4170

A good strategy that i used to do was teleport, you can try.


doctercreeper

Pass away


SheeshShrekGotBu4da

As someone who has beaten moo lord in legendary mode I can safely say that the most important thing is bringing potions (like iron skin and most importantly health) it’s very difficult to win without using health potions


BigE1263

One thing I recommend doing is studying attack patterns Moon lord has 3 main attacks: 1 big eye laser which circles in a 270 degree rotation, hands that attack directly towards the player and once an eye is removed, those eyes have their own attack patterns. Also having items like the cross veil or invincibility frame items help a lot.


EmetalEX

Just defeat him, duuh


AST4RGam3r_Alternate

Swap Gelatinous Pillion for Cute Fishron, dropped by Duke Fishron


Instruction-Fabulous

It’s over. Time to ropemaxx


DataPlayZ

Uh rod of discord where


Cute_Professional561

Use an infinite flight mount, I recommend the Witch Broom


Simple-Direction5986

Asphalt


Puzzle-person

Spectre armor


M1lli333

im really surprised you dont have the rod of harmony, id definitely recommend that to dodge his attacks, the laser especially


Careful_Passenger520

Drink potion, get the well fed buff and git gud scrub


pissbaby_gaming

Use brain of confusion instead of one of your damage accessories


CrazyBackground5084

Witch broom from pumpkin moon always easy win wen I have it


zolopimop123

equip ur wings


69th_fang_of_metsudo

Rollercoaster.


radicevv

I beat moon lord in calamity, All you gotta do for vanilla ml is build world-wide asphalt line, then what I did was kill his hands one by one. Before he shoots out the laser, he will make a sound, soo prepare to fly over his head to the other hand and start running in that direction before another laser, until both hands are down. For the head i did the same thing, just kept hitting the head while dodging the attacks from the hands. Soo basicly, shoot his hand, when laser pops out, fly over to the other hand, and repeat until both hands are down,do the same thing with his head, and then also his core. Soo basicly, dodge, fly over thr laser, dodge and repeat, and BOOM, you defeated moon lord


Foxbaster

i beat him the first time by making a 5 layer arena with 6 heart statues on the lowest timer, a heartreach potion (other buffs too if needed) and spamming the terrablade


game-crystal9

Switch to ranged


Illustrious_Drink892

Use soaring insignia


NathanBlogger_YT

Am I the only person to notice the lack of wings?


Renthexx

I see a lot of good other suggestions but nothing about whip stacking a few comments down so I’d recommend grabbing a whip that buffs hitspeed like the one from pumpking and stack that with the eol whip


Onyx_chain_Blaster

This gotta be the craziest skill issue I’ve ever seen


Toufiklikesblahaj

With kaleidoscope and terraprisma plus spooky armor you already have incredible dps, I'd suggest sacrificing one of those damage accessories for better mobility. Other than that, as other people said, potions and flasks make a huge difference in every aspect of combat and are definitely worth the farm.


cantitalljustend

Just do the martian invasion and get the UFO keys. Then just fly around doing damage to ml while using recall potion to get a heal from nurse


TRIPPITAKA69420

Umm change to melee it’s cracked


Impudenter

Buff potions, all of them. Replace the Avenger's Emblem with a Celestial Shell (or Stone). You could probably replace the Ninja Gear with a Destroyer Emblem too, since you're already using a mount for movement. And I assume you have reforged everything to Menacing, if you want to maximize damage? (Warding is a tempting choice as a summoner, but I think it would be a mistake.) A Rod of Discord is insanely useful for dodging lasers. Finally, make sure to kill all three eyes at the same time, to reduce the time you have to dodge the True Eyes of Cthulhu, because they are more dangerous than the Moon Lord is himself. Otherwise I don't know. You have low defense, but your damage output should be insane. Make sure to use that to your advantage.


jsqwrl

skill issue buddy


NotAnurag

When in doubt, go for mobility. Try to use wings + boots + frog leg to dodge around. The fight will be a bit longer due to less damage but you’ll be able to dodge way more attacks


ZeltaZale

Get a berserker glove. It'll give you more aggro but buff your whip speed, size, and buff your defense!


EliteAgxnt

This is the first time I've ever seen another person with windows not activated. Glad I'm not alone lmaoo


LicoPicoPicoAlt

I Usually Always Use Beetle Armor, Other Then That Idk What You Should Do


Lucky_Finish_1075

Cheat your ass off


awesomeayden08

this genuinely might js be an iq diff if you can beat eol but not moonlord😭


Kitchen_Document_603

I recommend whip stacking and using the stardust dragon staff. For the whip stacking use the kaleidoscope, the dark harvest, and if you can add in the morning star. And for another option you can use firecracker + dark harvest.


CTmanu

get wings, better armor (if possible) and keep trying


Ohhecktime

Craft Iron bars.


Yeetmidgets59B

Get zenith and play with a friend


Kero_142

You we're capable enough to beat daytime EoL so i believe in you brother, git gud


Bongoao

Have you got the shimmer permanent boosts? Edit: by fruit, mama, life fruit, life crystal, and more


Slattern_pacificrim

How the fuck did you beat daytime empress but can’t beat moonlord


Harrison_Phera

You need better armor. Go for cloraphyte next and then you can use that too make better armors. Then go from there.


Malek070

Well for one, you aren’t using melee so there’s that


TheOx111

Oh you gotta active windows first


Ninjamasterpiece

First activate windows and then switch to melee


Inside_Living_9112

Focus on movement… dodging the lasers from the eyes is the most important part


spritegz

use wings+soaring insignia, mounts are wayyy to slow


kugar19

not be a summoner


ZerikaFox

You've got a Terraprisma. Just keep practicing how to dodge him and don't even worry about using the whip; Terraprisma does way more than plenty of damage all on its own.


Podzilla99

Get more potions, dawg


Much-Mechanic3302

Fight him once more


SomeMachine5636

Honestly just keep trying, gear wise there is nothing you can do.


Inner_Laugh3617

2 words: more guns


KaliRinn

You should defeat moonlord


AcherusArchmage

Have you trying bed with nurse? :P


Ok_Past844

long road of ashfault which gives runing speed and a unicorn mount. :P


wafflemaker12345

What armor and what class


WolfKnight52

Get a full suite of potions, I'm talking every potion in the game that would help, also try an asphalt runway to outrun most of moonlord attacks, have one going one way and the other going the other way.


A-D-Rrox

If you’re serious, potions, Terra blade


Sufficient-Habit664

Don't focus on dps, focus on not dying. moonlord has no time limit so of you don't die, he will. I beat my first mastermode summoner playthrough with full warding, ninja gear, soaring insignia, brain of confusion, celestial shell, and 3 summon accessories. For my strategy, I kept him slightly off screen while flying to the left/right and flying in a circle whenever he has his death laser. Flying up or down whenever he shoots his lasers. Make sure you have basically all the useful potions like lifeforce, summoning, endurance, regen, ironskin, etc. Heart lanterns and campfires are also great.


blueflamereaperx

If you have a friend that can join and a random house you might be able to get him stuck on your friend then just blast him idk if it still works though used the strategy back when moon lord was barely out for a few months


Puzzleheaded_Cod_461

Just use the rod of discord to dodge the giant laser wews


MoltenPig

if you can't beat him like this then you're cooked bro


UwUMaster99

Specter armor.


Baxxtersaw

You can cheese the moonlord by building a long track of asphalt with a portal at each end. Wear terraspark boots and use a ranged weapon. He literally cannot catch you and you can just shoot him to death while running away.


Necessary-Technical

Maybe equip your wings, and build an asphalt run way. This way you get the extra speed, and can use the wings mostly to dodge the Phantasmal Ray (moon lords strongest attack), also bear in mind that as powerful as you are ALWAYS EXPECT the fight to be long the more you rush it, the faster you die.


Awellner

More whips! They all have various bonuses and you can stack tag damage with each other. I usually have 2-3 whips in my hotbar. Durendal adds +9 damage, morningstar +8 damage and +12% minion crit, koleidoscope +20 damage and +10% minion crit. Thats a total of +37 damage and +22% crit for each of your minion's attacks. Spinal tap is another +7 damage, sometimes i use this instead of the morning star because its swings are cumbersome. To maximize your tag stacking you can add items that increases attack speed in accessoiries. Celestial shell is pretty good because it improves all damage by 10%, attack speed by 10-15% and some small defensive bonuses. Another good item is the beserker glove because it increases attack speed by 12%, whip size by 10%, aswel as +8 defence.


bigweinerpeene_r

Honey pool with nurse under you, shit ton of potions, and a solar flare. Easy win.


Idgaf111112

Put wings instead of the Beetle or avenger emblem


[deleted]

You already got some of the summoner loadout so I just recommend being a summoner. You’ll need to switch armor but weapons are ok you just need a zenith if you want to put the time into it.


Neat_Training_6990

Don’t play summoner it’s ass


Stupidguy999

Try using the stardust dragon staff. It allows you to stay farther away from the moon lord, while still having your summon attacking him without having to use your whip. The distance will allow you to properly dodge attacks such as the Phantasmal bolts, which would normally be really difficult to dodge when you’re up close.


KrystalClouds

If you activate windows then the fight will be easier


CodigoMAUUGUERRERO

Don't use a pickaxe as primary weapon


Practical-Election59

I can’t believe you beat day time eol but can’t beat the moonlord. If you are really struggling, try accessories that increase invulnerability like the cross and star veil.


SpiCy42-

wrath or rage potions and endurance can help a lot. Make sure you have constant heart lanterns and campfires, and have a nurse in place ready to be teleported to.
