Talk:Bosses

Unfair Regulations
This page has false information, there is no reason it for not to be edit-able.

Pix or it didn't happen?!
This page is central to the game basics, and its way too primitive.

One screenshot per boss couldn't hurt that much can it? We have text fields spanning full width and for no good reason. I don't have time to figure the format syntax, I can provide pix tough if you don't have the attention span to aquire/edit them...

King Slime?
shouldnt we add the kingslime? --Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.178.213.130 (talk • contribs)
 * The King Slime is a Mini Boss, not a boss. --Preceding unsigned comment added by Josiah2536 (talk • contribs)
 * Well... exactly why is the King Slime a "mini boss"? With 1.1 it can be summoned in the same manner as the full-fledged bosses. Also, as Ickepointed out (farther down the page), in the code it is marked as a boss. I can see no real difference - practical or otherwise. I think we should simply regard it as a boss. -- TechpriestMagos 01:26, 17 December 2011 (UTC)

Boss -> Bosses?
Category page, and what new user would type "Boss" in the search? --Null Talk  23:19, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

Wyvern as a Mini-boss
I honestly don't see the problem with keeping it, it has specific summoning conditions like the King Slime and it's not like it's an easy fight. Also, like other bosses, the Wyvern drops Souls, which are game centric at that point. I think it's importance warrants it's own mini-section. I mean, we could be out of our minds and call it a boss, but we aren't, isn't this a modest proposal of compromise? Chaosvii7 07:14, 9 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Unlike King Slime there is no ingame message upon spawn and defeating, therefore game doesn't recognize it as Boss enemy. Why we should then? Because some players admit it like a boss-hard enemy? It's not. --Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.45.43.220 (talk • contribs)
 * Alright, now that's kind of rude to axe the Mini-Boss section when The Wyvern could fit in there all fine and dandy. And besides, mystery person, you seem to be the only person voicing distaste with this idea. Chaosvii7 02:22, 12 December 2011 (UTC)
 * It's not a mini-boss. The defining feature is the text announcement.  It's just the hardmode equivalent of a Bone Serpent.  I was more agreeable to the idea that it was a miniboss until I was running around in full Hallow.  On a side note, I personally disagree with the special category King Slime has.  *edit* Oh hey, that was removed, hadn't noticed that.  Good! --Theothersteve7 15:32, 12 December 2011 (UTC)
 * The source code has a line "boss=true" for bosses and also for King Slime (no idea why it is demoted to mini-boss), but it doesn't have that line for the Wyvern, so it is no (mini-)boss. --Icke 16:12, 12 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Is this also the case for the event bosses such as the pumpking and ice queen, or goblin summoner perhaps? If that is the case, shouldn't he also be added?

Summoning Hardmode Bosses in Pre-Hardmode World
Anyone tried it? Does it work? --Manxome 00:51, 17 December 2011 (UTC)
 * It is possible to summon and fight Hardmode bosses in a Pre-Hardmode world. Doing so nor defeating them will cause any change to the world, in fact I think even the Dryad may not arrive by doing so though I think I only experienced such due to lacking adequate housing; how nice nobody has to worry about that ! Hope this helps. --50.113.4.34 05:29, 20 December 2011 (UTC)

The New Boss
Is there any information about the boss summoned by snow globes yet? --Preceding unsigned comment added by Boilpoil (talk • contribs)


 * It's an event / invasion called the Frost Legion. Check there. -- TechpriestMagos 03:33, 20 December 2011 (UTC)

Chances
Can anybody check the probability of the mechanical boss to spawn at dusk? 109.186.187.76 13:16, 17 November 2013 (UTC)

All I know is that either it isn't a one in two chance every night, as the page says, or I'm ridiculously (un?)lucky. 74.96.95.213 21:20, 18 June 2014 (UTC)

Monster spawnrate while fighting boss?
Are monsters spawn rate reduced while fighting a boss? Some people said no monsters spawn while fighting a boss, while some people said they still see monsters around while fighting boss (most often thing i heard: wyvern while fighting mechanical boss)..

I personally never encounter any normal monster while fighting a boss (except if it spawned before i summoned the boss)
