Talk:Moon Lord

A word of warning: This boss is in the bloody long haul. 4 post-plantaera characters with max health vs it, and after more than an hour of fighting and a hell of a lot of dying, we all died at once and it despawned. 104.183.76.39 04:20, 1 July 2015 (UTC)

Pedguin got a light pet from him. We need to know it's drop rate.

The Line
Just want to point out that healing effects from Spectre Armor and Vampire Knives are not actually fully disabled during the fight, but rather the mouth tentacle that periodically attaches to the player now inflicts Moon Bite debuff that temporarily renders these effects useless. If you are far enough away from the boss that the tentacle cannot reach you, the debuff will not be applied and you can heal up as normal by attacking the boss from this distance. --Setheral (talk) 09:29, 3 July 2015 (UTC)

Not impossible in singleplayer
Someone said in the tips that this boss should not be fought in singleplayer, or that he'd need an inifinite number of tries. That's stupid. I've fought him seven times and defeaten him four. He is not that hard. I'd remove that "tip" that was probably writen by an unprepared, frustrated player.
 * Thanks. I've removed that comment, and cleaned up the Tips section a little bit as well. Gearzein (talk) 11:41, 3 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Maybe he was just fighting him in expert mode without first killing him in normal, which is, indeed, almost impossible. 178.70.109.52 11:43, 3 July 2015 (UTC)
 * I didn't find him -that- hard on Expert, and I wasn't using post-Moon Lord gear yet. It took me three tries, which was mostly teaching me the tactics I needed to use, for example- Magic Mirror to the nurse to heal before dying, using my Rod of Discord to teleport past his Phantasmal Deathray beam attack, etc. (If you don't have a Rod of Discord, you could Magic Mirror if he's about to kill you with the beam and you can't circle away from it). It's all tactics. Anyone can handle it with practice and planning.--216.84.182.10 20:22, 6 July 2015 (UTC)

Do you guys think it's a possible reference?
Fell appearances aside, like humam body and Cthulhu head... The greenish color, three "main" eyes, the fact it cames from the moon and the ability to prevent healing when he spawns... Reminded me of Crota, son of Oryx from the game Destiny.

Re: reference
I don't know about Destiny, but when i saw him, i was thinking 'Moon Lord... AKA... F*****G CTHULHU!!

Status of the world after winning
As it is not stated in the article, I'd like to know what happens after defeating the Moon Lord. Will the Cultists respawn at the dungeon and you're able to again bring about the Lunar Events, or will you have to begin a brand new world and work through it? I don't want to miss out on the special fragments from the 4 pillars, and it would be a pain to have to keep starting from scratch whenever I need more luminite. 107.77.70.76 07:52, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Speaking from personal experience, the cultists respawn immediately (or at least within a few minutes) after the Moon Lord is defeated, and one can kill them to begin the Lunar Event sequence again. I've heard on the forums that if you fail to kill the Moon Lord, the cultists will only respawn at the beginning of the next day. It would be a bit silly if that weren't so, because the boss doesn't even drop enough Luminite for a single set of armour each time it is killed. 203.94.42.179 09:11, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Speaking from personal experience, the cultists respawn immediately (or at least within a few minutes) if you fail to kill the Moon Lord, however if you fail to kill the Lunatic Cultist you will have to wait till 0430 the next day.
