Guide:Plantera strategies

Plantera is a more or less hard boss, he can spawn after defeating one of the hardmode bosses and destroying a pink flower in the underground jungle.

During fight, Plantera will always chase you, so keep your distance and keep away from small areas. He shoots at you and his ivy whips will damage you. If Plantera has less than 50 % life left, he will enter his second form. He then spawns little Trapper and spiked balls who will damage you too.

For fighting him with magic gear, the spectral armor combind with a magnetic spehere should be the best choice for high damage and life leech.

Loot: Again, for magic gear, the dropped Leaf Blower is a good weapon. It shoots faster than the laser gun, is stronger, and has low mana usage. But its less accurate and has no light effects.

=2t3ve's Circle Platform Strategy= Build a giant arena composed of platforms 4-7 blocks above each other(depends on jump height)with honey at the bottom. Summon Plantera as normal and then go to the arena and do circles so that plantera cant catch up and is chasing you and dip in the honey as required and use weapons that shoot projectiles such True Nights edge/Excalibur, Crystal Storm,Mega shark,piranha gun and any repeater(hallowed is recommended)use the strongest Armour you can get and you MUST have either Obsidian/Cobalt shield(obsidian is better though) Defense Accessories(Warding,Hard,Guarding etc.) are useful unless your good at dodging in which make your accessories for speed(Fleeting,Quick and so on.)

=The Teleportation Trick= Make a long hallway out of any material you desire, and place a teleporter on each end. This will cost 5 gold, so farm a little. Once you have done that, wire them both. Place a lever on each side, and once you have done that, test it out. Summon Plantera. When it's climbing down toward you on one side, flip the lever by the teleporter. You will teleport to the other side, and Plantera will have to climb back at you. Repeat this, while firing a Megashark with Crystal Bullets. He will eventually die, and you will get the satisfaction of killing a giant flower, and loot. Just loot. Have fun killing Plantera!
