Guide:Ocram strategies

Ocram spawns Servants of Ocram throughout the whole battle. They can be deadly if not killed right away. It has two stages like Eye of Cthulhu, but shoots lasers in one or the other.
 * Ocram's hit box is very imprecise, so some attacks will fail to hit him. To avoid missing, aim for his eyes, or "Sweet Spot".
 * Ocram's second form is also extremely deadly; He'll fire waves of demon scythe spells. These can be deadly if you are hit by too many, so make sure to avoid them.

Strategies
Fly above him with Chlorophyte Bullets if you are ranged. If you want to use melee, swords that fire projectiles such as the Terra Blade are preferred, so that the Servants of Ocram get hit at the same time from the beam. You could also use frost armor with this so, it inflicts Frostburn. Mages do the same with ranged, except use a magic weapon.

Ranged Weapons

 * The ranged set of Chlorophyte Armor is recommended. If you can't get it, use Hallowed Armor instead.
 * An Unreal Megashark with Crystal Bullets can work well, if you make sure to aim for his eyes.
 * Alternatively, you could use the Flamethrower if you've beaten Skeletron Prime. If you are concerned about your ammo, it would be useful to create a gel farm, with a slime statue.

Melee Weapons

 * Shoot him with a sword with ranged capabilities, such as the Terra Blade, True Night's Edge, True Excalibur, or Beam Sword.
 * If you have not yet acquired any of these swords, an easy sword to obtain is the Chlorophyte Claymore, as it it deals good amounts of damage and also has fires orbs which deal hefty amounts of damage.
 * Boomerangs such as Light Discs or Bananarangs will also work well.
 * If you have managed to get The Horseman's Blade, you can kill the servants with the blade, and let the summoned pumpkins can hit Ocram's "Sweet Spot".
 * If you can get it, use Turtle Armor. Otherwise, use the melee sets of Chlorophyte Armor or Hallowed Armor.
 * You can also use Flasks; the most useful are Flasks of Ichor as they reduce Ocram's defense, Flasks of Cursed Flames for extra damage.
 * If you are looking for a profit, you can also use a Flask of Gold.
 * Use (Godly) Vampire Knives, with any of the above armor. Using these can make the battle almost effortless

Magic Weapons

 * A Mythical Rainbow Rod can work well, Demonic Magical Harp, or a Mythical Heat Ray
 * If you want to kill the servants and hit him. Use Spectre Armor, or the mage sets of Hallowed Armor, or Chlorophyte Armor
 * Using a Shadowbeam Staff in an enclosed area can deal massive amounts of damage, as the projectiles can bounce off walls, which also can take out the Servants.
 * Use Chlorophyte Armor (the mage set) if you want to defeat him. Otherwise, use Hallowed Armor (mage set).
 * Using Spectre armor with the Golden Shower can take him out quickly, and with both sets, because with the Spectre Mask set you can deal damage to him and have it return to him and weaken him as well, and you can get a good deal of hits in with the Spectre Hood, as it can heal you large amounts of HP, getting you in the fight for longer. At times, this is also useful for switching between the Golden Shower and another Magic weapon for even more damage.
 * A (Mythical) Magnet Sphere is especially useful, as the lasers fire fast and auto-target the servants, quickly dealing large amounts of damage to the servants and Ocram himself. This is useful with the Spectre Mask, as that takes it up to even more damage.

Accessories

 * A Star Veil or Cross Necklace will help with the minions and lasers.
 * Wear an Obsidian Shield or Ankh Shield to prevent knockback.
 * Use Wings and lightning Boots or Spectre Boots for increased speed and mobility.
 * If you use magic, a Mana Flower may be helpful. However the minions can often supply you with enough Mana. Additionally Magic Cuffs can be used instead.
 * If you are not using magic weapons an emblem or Charm of Myths is good.

The Fight

 * It is advised to have a long, straight platform, with a small wall to block attacks similar to a platform used to fight the Wall of Flesh or The Twins.


 * Another good strategy, since Ocram is Console-Only/Pocket Edition-Only, and you can respawn as soon as you press A(Or on PS3, press X), you set up a bed near the arena with a cannon on your roof(Make sure you can reach the cannon from your respawn point)and plenty of cannonballs, with the highest defense you can afford, and repeatedly launch cannonballs at Ocram, respawning when needed. This will also protect from projectiles in form 2, which when combined with the time it takes him to transform, gets you a free 50+ hits for 200~ damage each.


 * If you have got full set of Spectre Armor and Golden Shower, you can only stand in one place and shoot up. He will not kill you, because you'll generally heal faster then he can damage you.


 * Another possible way to kill him is to go for full Turtle Armor and a high damage sword, combined with melee damage accessories with defense reforges can rip through him in seconds. You don't even have to set up a large arena, just some platform and you're set. If you take too much damage, have a Nurse nearby and have some potions (i.e. Ironskin, Regeneration).


 * A extremely easy way to defeat him is with full Spectre Armor and a heat ray, Obsidian/Cobalt/Ankh/Paladin's shield and Mana Flower//Magic Cuffs. Just shoot up and enjoy!


 * Also you can use Vampire Knives and Turtle Armor, let yourself get hit so Ocram takes full damage from his own attacks, then run and heal with Vampire Knives.
