Terraria: All bosses for Normal and Hard modes

 Terraria has many challenging bosses to defeat, each with its own characteristics and ways to summon. In this list, we focus only on the mandatory bosses to beat to progress through the game, both on Normal and Hard modes. We include the ones from the PC, Android, and iOS versions, and we inform you about the attributes of each boss, how to summon them, and the drops they leave when they are defeated.


Note: quite a few figures are presented as 2,000/2,800 or 15/30. In these cases, the second number corresponds to the Terraria Expert mode.

Normal mode bosses

The bosses in this section are the first ones you'll encounter in Terraria before you can enter Hard mode. It is necessary to defeat them all and take advantage of their drops to progress in the game and unlock the next difficulty.

From then on, Plantera will be faster, do more damage, and have a higher defense. Your best option is to use long-range weapons to continue doing damage. This way you will have more time to dodge its seeds, flowers, and tentacles.

In the second phase, Golem will start shooting lasers at you faster and faster the less health it has. If you take all of his life, he will reveal his final form. The goal in the last phase is to attack his body. The surprise is that Golem can go through walls and will be a much more ferocious enemy than at the beginning.

After taking an amount of damage, the Lunatic Cultist adds the fourth attack: 2 groups of 5 light projectiles. After using this attack 5 times, he will create two clones of himself. If you damage the clones, the boss will summon a Ghost Dragon or Ancient Vision if there is already a dragon in play. As you can see, it's a rather complex boss!

lord of the moon

Moon Lord Terraria Bosses

  • Hit points : 45,000/67,500 for the head, 25,000/37,500 for the hands and 50,000/75,500 for the core (torso).
  • Damage: 150/300 phantom death ray and 60/120 phantom ray to the head. 100/200 ghost sphere, 60/120 ghost eye, 60/120 ghost ray, and 80 hand contact.
  • Defense: 50 head, 40 hands, and 70 core.
  • Immune to: Confusion.
  • How to Summon: After defeating the Lunatic Cultist, the Lunar Event will start, spawning four columns (Solar Column, Nebula Column, Vortex Column, and Stardust Column). They are spread over different parts of the world. You must defeat 100 enemy guardians (150 in Expert mode) and then destroy the corresponding column. By destroying all four columns, the Moon Lord will appear. If you've already completed the event, you can summon it with a Celestial Seal.

This is the last boss in Terraria and therefore also the most difficult. He is the one with the most hit points in the game and the most damaging attacks. The trick with the Moon Lord is that in order to defeat him, you must first destroy the eyes on his hands and head. It's the only way to hurt him!

The eye on the head fires laser beams, while those on the hands alternate between different types of projectiles. When you defeat one of the eyes, it will detach and become a True Eye of Cthulhu, which deals damage on contact and attacks similar to the eyes of the hands. Instead, the holes left on the hands or head will become thorny. These also do damage on contact!

To top it off, the Moon Lord can also summon a tongue that, when touched, will prevent you from healing. Not only that, but Leeches will be summoned on contact and if you don't kill them before they reach the boss, the Moon Lord will be healed for 1,000 health.

Moon Lord Drops :

  • Moon Lord Mask, Moon Lord Trophy, Major Healing Potions, Luminites, and Portal Gun.
  • Only one between Filomiau, Terrarian, Starwraith, ADEE, Celebration, Last Prism, Moon Flare, Moongate Staff, and Rainbow Crystal Staff.
