The eyes will look at the player when preparing the attack, so you can predict it as well.Īfter all 3 eyes are defeated, the Moon Lord's core will be revealed, and what is arguably the hardest part of the fight will begin. The Phantasmal Bolts don't do a lot of damage, but they are hard to dodge as the Moon Lord doesn't shoot directly at the player it instead tries to predict their position, and does so very accurately. The directional dodge provided by the Master Ninja Gear can help significantly, as can a mount. It is difficult to escape its range, so mobility is important. The Phantasmal Sphere is the boss’s second strongest attack. Because of this attack it is a bad idea to keep the Moon Lord offscreen, as the player won't be able to see it coming. It can also be dodged with a Rod of Discord by teleporting out of its path. The safest way to dodge it is by flying over him with a mount such as the Witch's Broom or with Wings, preferably Fishron's or the Empress of Light's. It is only fired by the eye on its forehead, so you must be prepared for it when it opens. It can very easily finish off a player at around half health, so it must be dodged at all costs. The Phantasmal Deathray is one of the strongest attacks in the game, and the player must always watch out for it, especially on Expert Mode. It will not heal or replace any eyes in its hands or forehead if these have already been defeated. The Moon Leech Clots spawned from the tongue will heal one of the Moon Lord's unkilled parts for 1000 HP if they reach its mouth. If it connects, it will inflict the Moon Bite debuff, which prevents healing from the Vampire Knives and the Spectre Hood. Occasionally, a tongue will spawn from its mouth and try to lick the player. The empty eye sockets will also reveal fangs which do contact damage if touched, but the Moon Lord won't directly attack with them. When an eye is defeated, it will detach from the main body and spawn a True Eye of Cthulhu, an unkillable enemy that uses weaker versions of the Moon Lord's attacks. The eyes can only be damaged on their "active" state and they will always shoot 2 Phantasmal Bolts before closing. However, they are much faster than Bouncy Boulders.

These boulders share similar behaviors to Bouncy Boulders, which ricochet on solid blocks, and can exist for a relatively long time. In the Get fixed boi seed, the Moon Lord erupts 30 Moon Boulders from its head eye after each Phantasmal Deathray attack. The eye on its forehead will instead charge up the Phantasmal Deathray, and then fire it based on the player's position. When the eyes on the hands are exposed, they will alternate between spawning Phantasmal Eyes and shooting Phantasmal Spheres.

The Moon Lord's main attacks come from the Eyes on its hands and forehead, which are also the only parts that can be damaged.
