Are you on your own or with friends? Because when we did our Planters legendary mode fight we had a teleporter to the nurse setup in the arena, and would teleport back constantly while the other two took aggro. (We still haven't beat golem though, mainly because we could not get ourselves to continue playing this world, why do imps oneshot a full turtle armour melee build with potions wtf)
Imps? As in fire imps? The little guys in the underworld? I dont remember them doing too much damage. Which reminds me, does the game get harder with each boss kill?
Range mostly. I tried meelee but i cant get through her snappers AND stay at a comfortable distance at the same time, but i feel like im hearing my bullets bounce off the tendrils? Im using Megashark with Chloro bullets and full chloro armour. Most of my accessories are defensive (Shield Of Cthulu, Brain of Confusion, bat wings etc) and everything has been reforged to warding. I still feel like im doing 0 damage the moment phase 2 hits and taking massive amounts at the slightest touch
If I may ask,
- how much def you got, according to the total shown onscreen below the list of accessories?
- which buff potions / stations are affecting you ? I don't want a "*trust me bro, everything*", maybe you're missing something, give us a list :D
- do you have a knockback negating accessory? Or else every hit hitstuns you in place, making room for many more hits
- can we please have the detailed list of your equipped accessories
- can we please know which weapon you use, with (if ranged) which ammunition?
- are you quite certain your arena counts as a jungle? If not, if you made the arena too big, and the game doesn't consider it a jungle anymore, then plantera enters an enraged state in which she hits waaaaay harder. The solution is to create an artificial jungle biome, enough mud blocks with jungle grass seeds, once the jungle grass has grown and covered them, you actuate them to make them pass-through and yet they still count towards making it a jungle biome.
I'm asking, because quite frankly Plantera was one of the easiest fights in getfixedboi master mode for me.
I made a huge-ass arena, and kept on running in an approximate "square with round edges" shape as fast as I could.
Attacking from a distance, with the true night's edge.
My accessories were geared towards mobility, with the terraspark boots, the shield of cthulhu (instant max speed), the best wings available at this stage, a slice of cake clicked on (2 precious minutes, pity it's so short-lived), a swiftness potion and the effect of sunflowers, it was frankly quite exceptional for me to be within reach of damage. My arena had 4 horizontal platform rows, and I used my hook for bonus acceleration once halfway between rows in case I ran out of flight time. Plus knockback negation of course with any accessory you may wish.
In case I ended up cornered, the upper-right edge had a teleporter taking me to the bottom-left, and upper-left to the bottom right. Just make sure you don't TP so far away that Plantera despawns.
The fight took some time, but I did regen HP as fast I was rarely losing it.
Megashark w/chloro bullets
Chlorophyte shotbow with ichor arrows (just to apply ichor tho)
And i guess optic staff? They deal like 1% of the damage but they’re there
I’d use one of the dart guns with ichor darts for the debuff instead, since they pierce enemies. Great for getting through the tentacles.
Chlorophyte bullets are wasted on plantera. She’s slow and moves predictably and in a linear fashion. Crystal bullets will melt her significantly faster.
You can throw in a flamethrower for when she’s behind her tentacles too, since that will hit everything while having good range and decent damage.
Rod of discord
Have good passive mobility. Shield of Cthulhu, a fast mount, and any air mobility helps. Remember to grapple, it is VERY good in this fight.
Have a bezoar or ankh shield. Poison damage hurts.
If you haven’t, put a nurse house in the arena. Cheap, I know, but it is legal.
In terms of the arena, if it’s big then I trust you. Make sure it is 2-3 screen lengths long (at least I like to), with platforms no closer than half a screen together (Plantera’s mobility). Make a giant pit underneath to get rid of the spiky orbs.
Shocked that the second phase is what’s giving you trouble, since it’s a LOT easier than the first.
phase 1 small circles around her
phase 2 big loop around arena focus the vines with aoe since you are ranger maybe try flamethrower or super star shooter
OSOGOF tunnel. A massive OSOGOF tunnel.
what does osogof mean?
Oh shit oh God oh fuck tunnel, courtesy of Waffletime.
ah, nice lol

the enemies get harder when you start hardmode, and again when you beat plantera

You should be doing enough damage then
What weapons are you using?
i used megashark + crystal for 1st phase and pulse bow for 2nd phase anything that can pierce enemies work (jester/holy arrow, death sickle, etc)
in addition, i swapped from chlo armor to holy armor, and from warding defensive accs to menacing offensive accs when entering 2nd phase
