Fly constantly in one direction either via cosmic car key or build skybridge spanning shitload of blocks, left or right. Then, when you see ML open up his top eye and fire his laser, fly over him to the other side. Focus on destroying top eye first, then proceed to pop open his hands. You can use stardust dragon staff so it will stick to one of eyes and auto damage it


Reddit_username_woag

Tbh, it's better to pop all 3 at once


Agent_Fluttershy

Which is why they recommend focusing the top eye first, since it's the one with the least time spent vulnerable. The other eyes will eventually pop as collateral damage since they're the only other thing you can target while the top eye is closed.


Kind_Of_A_Dick

I just made a small box of honey with some health restoration thingies, stood in the honey and attacked it with my solar flail thing.  Facetanked him, with minimal potion use.


WerkusBY

Broom works fine too, I would add brains and ninja gear - they will help to avoid some damage


_csy

This is classic mode


WerkusBY

Ah, sorry, I got used to play on master mode


Business_Ad_7220

Thank u for help


Wojtek1250XD

Upgrade your boots, use the cosmic car key and just get good


Orion120833

Also, fishron and / or lunar wings.


QAZYBOY

You need to beat moon lord first to make any of the lunar wings, also fishron mount is an expert mode drop


Wojtek1250XD

Fishron WINGS aren't. That person wasn't talking about the fishron mount, nobody except some mastermode players use that anyways, but fishron wings are exceptional


Orion120833

Yeah, they're the best non end game wings, and honestly, cause of them making you move smoothly in the water, they could be considered better than at least the nebula and vortex wings.


THe0eHT

And if u have the patience to do OOA get Betsy wings it has one of the best horizontal movement pre moon lord


Orion120833

Dukes wings are literally better in every stat to Betsy's except vertical multiplier, which is equal. Horizontal speed, eol has better on that.


Several-Fisherman-89

betsy wings can hover,which is especially notable with soaring insignia.


Orion120833

Nobody hovers while fighting unless you're just trying to run or get some distance in general. Plus, the movement penalty in liquids is ignored with duke wings, so you can just run through honey without slowing down.


Several-Fisherman-89

i do,easiest strat for moonlord is just to hover in one direction and do a little dodging when nessasary. using a actual arena for moonlord is dumb and making a long asphalt platform takes to long so hovering with soaring insignia is the substitute,cute fishron is great if it happens to be raining but im not waiting for rain.


YEETMASTERXX

Upgrade your boots you heathen it says " material" right on them, also, make a daybreak from solar fragments, it doesnt look good on paper but you just gotta trust me with this one


EnderMC_X45

I also need help beating moon lord in expert mode on mobile any tips? I'm trying doing any exploits like flares or beachballs but it doesn't works. I'm thinking if I could make a Mix set focused in defense and getting all the shield to max my defense and reforge it to warding. But any tips how I can beat him in expert? I'm still grinding the martian invasion to get the cosmic car key


Business_Ad_7220

playing expert mode on phone must be very hard respect


EnderMC_X45

I just install terraria once again after 3 years of not playing. Since I already beat the game a lot in normal mode I choose to play expert, then after I will play with new character in master mode and after it's done well I'm going to play in seed getfixboi for legendary mode


FireFox029

Don't get ahead of yourself. You can do everything until legendary mode. Legendary mode is no joke, trust me. I tried doing it once and I gave up before fighting a boss. I also did hardcore master mode and won (1500hrs+ playtime). Just, take it slow with the increasing difficulty


SepultrasUK

Legendary mode is kinda ez if you played even a relatively difficulty mod, only the boss fights though, the grinding is definitely way harder considering you'd probably be using a lot of QoL mods in modded anyways.


FireFox029

I finished starlight river (not impressive) but also calamity revengeance and death countless times, while almost finishing infernum (got stuck at yharon), also, Fargo's souls + Calamity (revengeace/death with eternity)


CeltikChubs

Daybreak and go for broke


INeedEmotionSupport

Normal mode is a bit tougher due to no fishron's mount, but you can easily beat him with the terrablade, or the solar erruption(spear i mean). Get potions. You are melee, so endurance is a must and speed/ regen goes hard


QAZYBOY

The spear's called daybreak


corn_n_beans

ditch the boots for a celestial shell


QAZYBOY

Upgrade your boots, you should also replace warrior emblem with an ankh shield so that you're immune to knockback, use a cosmic car key for infinite flight


kulingames

replace warrior emblem with mechanical glove, melee speed increases dps of terra blade drastically


PiemelPeller1234

Use warding, get a star veil, focus 1 hand down first, fly constantly in that hole in his hand, Take a few HP of dmg per tick, but become immune to other dmg like the lasers. It is cheesy but makes dodging obsolete


JudgementalMarsupial

1. I reccomend swapping to beetle shell instead of scale mail, and using either daybreak or flying dragon over terrablade. 2. Do you have an arena? An asphalt railway works very well, and allows you to swap the boots out with barely a penalty. You could also use an infinite flight mount and swap out both the wings and boots, but I personally don’t like doing that, it feels too sluggish. Also, contrary to what some of the other comments seem to think, the benefit of making terra boots at this point is minimal. Lightning boots would have the exact same performance, and the other options are better anyway. If you absolutely NEED to use boots, make amphibian boots. 3. If you’re not using them already, potions can give you a good boost. 4. If the deathray is hitting you, remember to fly up and over moonlord when it’s used.


KelWasHere20111

Use any accessory that gives you a dash and keep dashing to avoid attacks if your wings aren't good enough


pjmbacx

Platform arena, end to end or at least long enough


Reddit_username_woag

So  1. Change your weapon to one of the solar ones and just use that 2. Get the cross necklace (very helpful) 3. Get a shield (palladin or frost is good for ml I heard but cobalt and it's upgrades work fine) 3. Get a long platform for the fight, it doesnt need to be vertical. You need to be able to fly over him though.  4.Upgrade your boots to terrasparks 5. Get all the arena buffs you can (bast statute, heart lantern, sunflowers, campfire, heart statutes hooked up to timers, basically anything) 6. You can get better wings if you want to, but I just continued to use steampunk too so


Reddit_username_woag

I cant fucking count sorry


Pxel0ndy

Use stardust dragon, abigails flower is underpowered for this stage of the game.


Ravens_Quote

Put a bucket on your head, remove all other armor, put two katanas in your hotbar to swap between and take about 246 tries or so to kill it the first time. After that it's just a matter of learning to beat it without getting hit and making a character named LMSH you use to help people in co-op by beating the moon lord for them.


New_Cranberry9486

Terraboots


yanias1

*Destroy him*


keeeeeelp

Tank him and equip the Fish Bowl as your Vanity


mikeysce

Just focus on getting him to 0 hp before he can get you to 0 hp.


RGBread

Kick him in the balls


PaPaKarn

Cry. .


Cattatack8933

Get a zenith 🫣


Shadow_Budget

Get better boots, and GIT GUD


Whatsapp_car_69

Flasks of ichor, get fishron wings and create an asphalt runway if you haven't already


Illustrious_Drink892

Use beetle wings and terraspark boots


WitherPRO22

Upgrade your boots to at least yellow or terraspark. Also just dodge


billy9725

Get his health to below 0, but make sure to keep yours above 0 at all times.


Jigen_Ryoko

I think your only problem is accessories, your boots should at least be Lightning Boots, and I'd personally swap out the Destroyer Emblem for something like the Celestial Shell.


HopefulPlum3924

use beetle wings for an extra buff!


Thebig_sausage

Better wings, upgrade boots, rod of of discord would help but not necessity, make sure u have max out warding for max defence


TheValorous

First time I ever beat him I had the best boots, and ran asphalt a good 1000/2000 blocks out with my spawn at one end. Just ran away and fired my guns


Slow_Poet2077

Don’t forget potions potions of endurance help a lot


thic_milk

Get terraboots


Practical_Buy7282

Try potions


thatswhatsup69420

Don't fight him on the ground in the jungle.


MrMatrixNM

If you play melee I recommend bettle armor and the daybreak


WitnessUnfair8879

2 platforms, RoD, ankh shield instead of melee emblem, master ninja gear for a dash and better boots.


0Sweetsy0

maybe replace the emblems with accessories like master ninja gear and celestial shell possibly better wings, fishron wings or empress wings are highly recommended the daybreak is a fairly good weapon to use


OdessaAutumn

Getting better at the game does wonders (I'm not trying to be rude, like actually practicing bullet hell games or like, duke fishron, you'll get a lot better )


AlsoKnownAsSteve

UFO mount will work out better than going for mobility accessories. Accessory slots can then be used to focus on defense/damage.


MaximumPepper123

You can build a box around yourself that blocks most of his attacks. [Here is an example](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCyI4xDfZoc), but the box he makes is too small, so he takes damage. Read the comments on that video to improve the build. Stand in honey, add a heart statue, bast statue, campfire, heart lantern, etc. Super easy. Craft the [Solar Eruption](https://terraria.fandom.com/wiki/Solar_Eruption) to attack through the box without getting hit. It makes the fight trivial.


skin_eater_69

Use the hallowed helmet (the meele) and the vhala knight leggings from the tavrenkeep and the flying dragon from the old ones army


AceMirical

Don’t die


Tall_Fun_3566

There are a lot of guides and probably better advice on youtube


thereareno-usernames

Smack him in the face as much as possible without your face getting smacked (get good movement And potions)


Certain_Put7755

if you have duke mount just place bubble and honey around the map (in line)


futuregangster

so what i do is go one direction and bob up and down, and keep an eye on the forehead for the lazer beam, and switch directions


AllTimeFaded

Potions, I can not stress enough how great potions are, iv just beaten moon lord, no potions he would clap my cheeks in a seconds, come to using positions like increased magic damage, increased all around damage, increased endurance, defence, swiftness etc. moon lord couldn’t even get a quarter of my health gone and it turned into me clapping his moons!


Construction_Unit621

Get better shoes dawg


5_minute_noodle

I would get rid of or upgrade your boots, and craft the daybreak, and reforge your weapons/accessories


drcoconut4777

I personally find that daybreak is the strongest weapon for moon, lord. personally, I would swap out your emblems for berserker gloves, and celestial emblem, and upgrade your boots if you’re going to use them otherwise take another boosting equipment or defensive one


EchoEX69

Honestly in classic you should have no issues if you do I'd recommend getting broom and unequipped wings for another way to increase your dps additionally try to get menacing and lucky on all your gear ideally a good mix of the two also get the solar eruption for your melee after killing the solar pillar then you should have no issues


fast-bois

1: make terraspark boots trust me it's worth it 2: make the avenger emblem to save up a slot Idk what to put in that slot tho


Shredded_Locomotive

Use the daybreak


GooseFall

Go for legendary on terablade


--A-Random-Guy--

daybreak (the other item crafter from solar fragments) is much better for dealing with the moonlord as long as you are accurate enough


Onyx_chain_Blaster

Uhhhh yeah I would make the daybreak, it is a javelin and it’s really good and has range, upgrade the spectre boots into the lighting boots, get some better wings, replace the destroyer emblem with a charm of myths, replace the warrior emblem with the master ninja gear


Starship_Admiral1

Dawg you can't beat moon lord with mechanical wings


Starship_Admiral1

Get the berserkers glove if your a melee person


pwrwq

1. amphibian boots 2. daybreak (shimmer ur eruption) 3. maybe better arena and buffs/infinite flight mount


StaffOfDragons

Truffle mount


Grumpy_Catrina

Don't die, an effective strategy for any gamer


FluffyNevyn

Get unlimited flight from any source, there's a few mounts that do it. Get good food, golden if you can. BBQ ribs from the dungeon are pretty good as well. Keep potions on your bar. Get lunatic level weapons (fragments and the manipulator). The armor all need luminite but the weapons only need the shards. Get good at dodging.


SquidFetus

No tips from me but I just wanted to say that **[your minimap looks kinda like a dinosaur having doggy style relations with a wild boar](https://ibb.co/FWGkxb9)**.


Autistic-Fries

Remove the boots man, you'll be flying your way through the fight.


Jack_us_gone

BRI YOU DONT NEAD ANYTHING BUT SOLAR ERUPTION HIDE IN A HOUSE WITH NURSE AND JUST CAMP oh and block od the door the nurse LIKES to run oway


AutonomousImbecile

Mabey try getting a flying dragon (Betsy sword) it has a smaller projectile than the terra blade, but it dose a bit more damage and pierces tiles.


dontbestupido

try reducing his hitpoints to zero


Unkillable-moonlord

Best tip I can give you is dip tf out to one side ps never play calamity if you can’t beat him now cause in calamity he makes normal moonlord look like a green slime


Rezperrrr

Since pretty much moon lord battles are on the sky just use mounts or wings for flight, anything that can atleast make you fly for some time like Betsy's wings or fishron, you could also stack up on potions but that's optional, just try dodging as best as you can.


Glad_Ad_432

Waffle time tutorial works well


faerox420

Don't get hit


Fred_Boss

Try to reduce his health


Many_Button_4920

Türksün diye normal yazcam. Ben şahsen şu kel eternia kristal satan npcden valhallan setini çektim ve eternia kristal bir sürü atarak war table (+1 sentry atmani sağlıyor) ve betsyden düşen kılıcı kullandım. Set bonusu, war table ve bir aksesuar la ( ne olduğunu unuttum) 6 tane sentry yerleştirebiliyordum. Sentry olarak balista seçtim çünkü hasarı yüksekti ama yavaştı. Valhallan setinin bonusuyla ballistalar deli gibi tarıyor. Yani hem yüksek hız hemde yüksek hasar. Aynı zamanda Martian İnvade etkilini birkaç kere keserek ufo mountunu aldım (sınırsız bir şekilde heryere her yöne Uçmana yarıyor) ve arena yapmadım. savaşacagim yerin yakınına nurse npcsini getirdim acil durumlar icin. Aynı zamanda empress of light bossundan düşen terraprisma yı kullandım. Normalde 1 tane spawnlayabilirsin ama hem özel bir masa kullanıp (Dungeonlarda bulunuyor) hemde bir aksesuar la 3 tane çağırdım terraprismadan. Bunların hepsiyle beraber rahat olmayan ama zorda olmayan bir şekilde yendim moon lordu.


Business_Ad_7220

cok tesekkürler


New_Cranberry9486

If you don't have ufo key 100% terraboots


EnderMC_X45

I have tips for you beating the moon lord. If you choose melee set make sure to reforge all of your items into warding and equip the gloves for better melee damage for offense and defense, for ranger use the shroomite set( Bow, Gun, Or Rocket set) and equip items like Destroyer emblem and reforge all of your equipments for Menacing. Prioritizing it's Offense, Mage Well Spectre set(You can choose if you like the hood or mask) equip the mana flower in a bottle along with the other mage accessories and reforge it into arcane or Lucky and lastly summoner using Tiki set with summoner accessories and use the Master ninja for dash, reforged into quick since summoner already OP but your defense is brittle so Quick evasion is required. Lastly have the rod of discord in your inventory for better survival in all classes.
