here's how you defeat the destroyer:get at least molten armor(if not then you're dead)(do NOT use cobalt set, its worse) and a phasesaber.

then get warding for these things: philisophers stone, cross necklace, spectre boots, shackle and band of regen(or cobalt shield)

get these pots:ironskin,regen,greater HP pots, gravation pot(not needed if you have a grappling hook)

NOW, get a confined area of about 15 blocks long and 10 blocks tall and spawn him, actavate your pots and go melee him(if he takes up all the bottom area of the box, grapple to the top)
