King Slime is no different than a normal Slime: it moves by hopping to the player. Unlike other Slimes, however, it has a large pool of health due to its Boss status, and it's huge. This makes King Slime an easy target, but he jumps far and unpredictably; the height varies depending on the distance between him and the player. Failing to predict its jump destination can result in the player getting damaged.
As King Slime gets damaged, it gets smaller. This makes it more mobile and harder to hit, having less issues to escape small enclosures (should it fail, however, it might teleport instead), and it spawns lesser {{item|Blue Slime|s|scale=0.6}} to harass you. These can make you waste ammo on them instead of the King Slime, so the use of piercing weapons or ammo is important.

King Slime is one of the few bosses in the game that lack the ability to go through blocks. This can be exploited in multiple ways:
* On {{eversions|1.3.0.1|not=1.4.0.1}}, climbing on a {{item|Rope|scale=0.5}} 35 blocks above the ground allows you to attack him at range safely without him teleporting onto you. Add extra rope to give yourself a margin of error, or to retreat and heal if need be. Using this method makes potions, higher damaging weapons, armor, and movement accessories optional, as the player will not need to dodge attacks or mitigate damage
* Make one or two platforms above the ground; King Slime will eventually teleport to ground level and you can easily hit him from the platforms.
* A flat area with small room below it with [[Platform]]s as roof for the player. King Slime can't enter small rooms and thus cannot reach the players in it.

It is also good to place {{item|Campfire|s|scale=0.6}} and {{item|Heart Lantern|s|scale=0.6}}, as they increase the player's health regeneration. A {{item|Star in a Bottle|scale=0.6}} and a {{item|Sunflower|scale=0.6}} can also help increase mana regeneration and movement speed respectively.

Most weapons can be used to fight this boss without difficulties. Piercing weapons may be preferred, to hit both the Blue Slimes and the King Slime himself.
* As a Melee character, [[Sword]]s are a bad idea due to the amount of Slimes the King will spawn, but the {{Item|Enchanted Sword|scale=0.5}}, {{Item|Ice Blade|scale=0.5}}, {{Item|Terragrim|scale=0.5}} (or {{item|Arkhalis|scale=0.5}}

* Magic users should bring at least {{item|Sapphire Staff|Sapphire|scale=0.6}} or {{item|Emerald Staff|Emerald|scale=0.6}} staff. {{Item|Ruby Staff|scale=0.5}} or {{Item|Diamond Staff|scale=0.5}} are the best available.
* Summoners should bring either a {{Item|Vampire Frog Staff|scale=0.4}} or a {{Item|Finch Staff|scale=0.5}}, and a {{Item|Leather Whip|scale=0.5}} if affordable.
** If the player has only acquired the {{Item|Slime Staff|scale=0.6}}, one may use it.
* {{eicons|1.3.0.1|desktop=n}} Throwing users should bring a bunch of {{Item|Throwing Knife|Throwing Knives|scale=0.7}} or {{Item|Javelin|s|scale=0.5}}. {{Item|Grenade|s|scale=0.66}} can deal a lot of damage, although they may damage the player if used recklessly.
** If {{item|Pinky|scale=0.6}} has been defeated, {{Item|Molotov Cocktail|s|scale=0.6}} should be crafted, as they are very powerful throwing weapons.
Like weapons, most accessories can help:
* {{item|Sailfish Boots|scale=0.6}}, {{item|Hermes Boots|scale=0.6}}, {{item|Flurry Boots|scale=0.6}}, {{item|Dunerider Boots|scale=0.6}} or a {{item|Panic Necklace|scale=0.6}} can assist with avoiding damage or running away in bad situations. These should be combined with Rocket Boots at the Tinkerer's Workshop if the Goblin Tinkerer has been rescued.
* {{eicons|1.4.0.1|invert=
* {{item|Cloud in a Bottle|scale=0.6}}, {{item|Blizzard in a Bottle|scale=0.6}}, {{item|Sandstorm in a Bottle|scale=0.6}}, {{item|Fart in a Jar|scale=0.6}}, or {{item|Rocket Boots|scale=0.6}} (if you have defeated the Goblin Army) can also help with any vertical movements. If one has a {{item|Shiny Red Balloon|scale=0.6}}, they should combine it with a bottle accessory, making it even better.
* A {{item|Band of Regeneration|scale=0.6}} can be useful to increase rate of regeneration while avoiding being damaged by King Slime, and a {{item|Mana Regeneration Band|scale=0.6}} can help to refill Mana faster.
* Make sure a {{item|Campfire}} is nearby.
* Use any long-range weapons (Yo-yos, Bows, Gem Staves or Throwing weapons).
=== Lava pit Strategy ===
=== Death Box Strategy ===
* A solid box must be constructed. The box should be large enough to hold the King Slime, yet not so large that he can still wander off-screen.
Since this strategy revolves around the player's death, [[Hardcore mode|hardcore]] players should avoid implementing this strategy.
