Guide:King Slime strategies

The King Slime is usually an easy boss, especially when you have hardcore equipment. However, the boss is a good source of gel and Lesser Healing Potions and is the only source of Ninja clothes which are a rare vanity item. Having a recently made character charge the boss will certainly get him/her killed. So they will need a strategy, and that is what this page is for.

The Pit Strategy
This idea takes advantage of the King Slime's huge size and that he can not drop through platforms


 * The Equipment: You will need 10-30 platforms of some sort, a ranged weapon(preferably a gold/platinum with plenty of arrows), several torches or another light source, and lastly an iron pickaxe or better.

First you will need to make a pit around 10 by 5(10 left to right and 5 up and down). Then cover the top with platforms. You can use extra platforms to try to get a better shot at the King Slime. Lastly summon the boss using the Slime Crown and fire away. Several other strategies can be developed from this one.

Add-Ons
While using the Pit method, there are several modifications you can make to them to make them more efficient. One such thing is to make it slope to the sides from the top at an angle with a thin layer of lava to kill it easily without losing the loot. Or you can have a Super Dart Trap connected to a timer/pressure plate to kill it. The possibilities are endless
