The whole cross necklace thing feels so cheap.

The whole cross necklace thing feels so cheap.

Fuck the Twins.

This is the only relevant opinion to have on the matter.

To tank the meteor head more efficiently, i stay in shallow water. It prevents you from catching fire, which is their main source of damage. It may also prevent you from holding a water candle though.

Yes, it does and it doesn't make light, but as long as you have it chosen as your active item, it increases spawn rate.
In other words, it doesn't really matter.

Destroyed The Destroyer twice!
Got enough Souls Of Might to create Excalibur.
And the armor as well, but I would rather wait until I got the whole armor set before upgrading it.
I However have not gotten the light shards, because there are no Hallow deserts in my worlds..

Any way.. what boss is next on the list?

[SirAaronIII]

Destroyer again. Then you can make a Megashark which owns against Prime and the Twins.

Hmm.. what was the.. err.. materials for it again?

Nevermind.. Uhm..
So what are the tactics against the other two?

How? Did you use the meteorite strategy? What weapons and buffs did you use? What accessories? I'm currently gearing up to a fight against it, so any advice is greatly appreciated.

 Some people will say flails do absurd damage, others will say firing shots that pierce along it will do amazing damage. I personally love the majesty of Grenades hitting multiple sections.

 I think the absolute bets arena is some form of horizontal tunnel. Most of the damage you'll get from it are from being in the body or lasers. The roof of the tunnel will hell you avoid the body and the presence of a roof will help reduce lasers. The drones will also be easier to kill for hearts and collect.

Run and shoot, at least for the twins. I've actually done better against them then against the destroyer so far, having nearly killed spaz and gotten retina down to just above half one fight. Need to get the philosophers stone and stacks of greater heals though, and probably cursed bullets.

Also, I highly recommend a large world over a small world for hardmode, or at the very least a LOT of explosives. The destroyer is a pain when its in the ground and can change direction, and to get enough height to avoid that you either need to dig a deep hole or go really high, which in a small world means hitting the skybox.

I had full adamantite armo and that sword of same material.
Band Of Regeneration and Philosophers Stone are highly recommended.
Did the Meteor strategy as suggested, plus I used the following potions, usually more than 1 of each;

Ironskin
Thorns
That Health Regen portion I forgot the name of.
And several Health potions. (Not Lesser Health Potions.)

The second time went much faster, since I had crafted the excalibur.

By the way, I Destroyed it a third time for the sake of getting more souls.


edit:
And so my innards were turned to outards by Spaz's second form..

So.. any.. helpful advice guys?

[MC Dirty]

Well, there's always the Wiki, but since I haven't fought any hardmode bosses yet, I can't exactly help you.
Also, did you actually need the health potions? And why didn't you use Greater ones, those are really easy to get when you're in Hardmode.

[Ultimuh]

And why didn't you use Greater ones, those are really easy to get when you're in Hardmode.

Well I just recently discovered how to make them.
Didn't know before I fought The destroyer.

Drop a flail at your feet. Use the hellstone trick. Stand next to it with a piercing/high DPS weapon. Etc. The Destroyer is honestly really easy, and once you get the flamethrower, it is a complete joke.

He's still a joke even with the excalibur, which deals less dps against him compared to the flame thrower.

Moreso if you're kitted for defense + ironskin, and you have a bunch of potions with you.
