'''Geysers''' are [[trap]]s that shoot a wall of fire when triggered with [[wire]]. This trap does not consume any [[ammunition]], its output being limited to only how frequently it can shoot a wall of fire, which is around 3-4 seconds. Geysers have a range of approximately 20 blocks, which is only a fraction lower than that of the [[Flamethrower]]. Geysers are found naturally placed in random areas on the [[Cavern]] layer, presumably deep enough where [[lava]] may spawn. Unlike the [[Flame Trap]], Geysers do not cause the [[On Fire!]] [[debuff]].
:<big>''"Impending doom approaches..."''</big>
 
 
The '''Moon Lord''' is a [[Hardmode]], post-[[Golem]] [[boss]] summoned by defeating all four [[Celestial Tower]]s from the [[Lunar Events]], or by using a [[Celestial Sigil]]. The Moon Lord spawns about one minute after either of the prerequisites are met. It serves as ''Terraria's'' "final boss".
 
 
If all players [[Death|die]] during the Moon Lord's encounter, the Moon Lord will despawn. It can be re-summoned by completing the Lunar Events again (initiated by again defeating the [[Cultist]]s at the [[Dungeon]]'s entrance, then defeating the [[Lunatic Cultist]] boss again), or by using a [[Celestial Sigil]].
 
 
== Behavior ==
 
The Moon Lord has two hands and a head that must be killed before its "core" becomes available for attack. It positions its two hands on either side of the player some distance away.
 
 
Each hand, as well as its head, contain a vulnerable eye-like target that are each periodically closed off and opened via an eyelid. These may only be damaged during their "open" states. Once these parts and then its core are killed, the boss is defeated.
 
 
The Moon Lord can teleport to players if all of them get too far out of range.
 
 
=== Attacks ===
 
* The head target will periodically fire a "Phantasmal Deathray", the Moon Lord's most powerful attack.
 
* All three Eyes fire "Phantasmal Bolt" high-speed laser bullets.
 
* The hands spawn "Phantasmal Spheres", invincible eyes that charge at players.
 
* The hands also fire "Phantasmal Eye" explosive homing projectiles at players.
 
* Once a hand or head target is killed, a [[True Eye of Cthulhu]] spawns, which fires lasers or ice at the player.
 
* Each hand target killed becomes a thorny crevice thereafter that deals damage on contact.
 
* The mouth periodically attempts to attach a tentacle to the player, which spawns multiple [[Moon Leech Clot]]s, essence-like monsters that travel from the player to the Lord's mouth. If not killed by the time they reach the mouth, one of the Moon Lord's parts (one that has not yet been defeated) is healed for 1000 health for each of them.
 
* The Tentacle also inflicts the Moon Bite [[debuff]], preventing any life-steal effects from weapons/armor like [[Vampire Knives]] or [[Spectre Armor]] for 14 seconds (16 seconds in [[Expert mode]]).

== Achievement ==

== Tips ==
 
{{strategies}}
 
* The Moon Bite debuff, which prevents regenerative abilities, is reliant on a tentacle making contact with the player. It is possible to move outside of its maximum range, avoiding the debuff and allowing effects to once again heal the player. One such method is by using [[asphalt]]. Another one, if you have beaten all the [[Mechanical Bosses]] in expert mode, is to make a huge [[Minecart]] track with bumper ends and use the [[Mechanical Cart]]. The bumper ends makes it easier to turn when the track ends, making it even harder to be reached by his tentacle.
 
* It is best to start by damaging the two hands until they are both at very low health. Next, kill the head. As soon as you kill the head, kill the two near-death hands. This will cause the eyes to come out of the hands at the second half of the fight, increasing your survivability during the first half.
 
* Since the hands will begin to start dealing melee damage after they are defeated, running away on an asphalt sky bridge will become an issue if not properly prepared to dodge the hands.
 
* It is possible to avoid the laser beam that the first-stage Moon Lord fires at you using the [[Cosmic Car Key]] mount by staying close to where the laser beam is fired from (as opposed to farther away from where the laser is fired from), and flying over the Moon Lord's head. The [[Rod of Discord]] can alternatively be used to teleport behind the laser as it is firing, freeing up a lot of time while it is firing elsewhere to attack the head.
 
* The [[Cosmic Car Key]], depending on which direction you are traveling at the same time as Moon Lord, may not gain enough velocity to outrun his own when he starts to rise. Rely upon [[Solar Wings]], [[Fishron Wings]], or a Minecart instead. An accessory that allows you to dash, such as the [[Master Ninja Gear]], may also be useful for keeping a safer distance.
 
* A large portion of the Moon Lord's attacks, including the laser he emits from his head, are incapable of passing through walls. Consider seeking cover to avoid these attacks during the fight.
 
* Having the Nurse nearby to constantly restore your health greatly increases your chances of beating the Moon Lord or you could set your spawn to the house where the Nurse lives and teleporting using the Magic Mirror, Recall Potion etc. whenever your health gets low.
 
* It is not wise to use [[Vampire Knives]] or the [[Spectre Hood]] as the Moon Bite debuff occurs very often, which disables life steal from these weapons/items.
 
* Consider using an actuator roof with a lever attached to it, as the Phantasmal Deathray cannot travel through blocks. Turn on the roof whenever the Moon Lord is using his Phantasmal Deathray.
 
*Using automatic spikey ball traps and minions, you can damage Moon Lord from under the trap machine( with a bottom of course ) with both traps and minions. Keep moving under the machine in a mechanical cart to avoid any of the three eyes. [[Spooky armor]] may help in the process but taking damage at all is next to fatal. The traps should block all but the eye melee attack. [[Exno staff]] or [[Star dust dragon]] are good choices in minions. Sentry style minions don't count as a minion and may just help.
 
 
== Trivia ==
 
* Despite a mid-development comment by [[Cenx]] that this would not be the case, the Moon Lord resembles common depictions of [[wikipedia:Cthulhu|Cthulhu]], a creature first imagined by [[wikipedia:H. P. Lovecraft|H. P. Lovecraft]] in his story, ''[[wikipedia:The Call of Cthulhu|The Call of Cthulhu]]''. This is partially a nod to broad fan speculation prior to the release of [[1.3]] that Cthulhu would be the final Terraria boss. This speculation arose in part due to [http://terraria.gamepedia.com/File:Cthulu.png an early concept design] floated by the development team. Cenx later stated that the Moon Lord actually represents Cthulhu's brother.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Terraria/comments/3bekpz/confirmed/cslmwip?context=3</ref>
 
* The Moon Lord's design may have been inspired partially by Chandrashekara ("Moon-Crowned Lord"), one of the names of Shiva, god of Destruction, in Hindu mythology. Chandrashekara is often depicted as having three eyes, with one vertically on the forehead.
 
* Terraria's final boss was originally going to be the Moon itself descending on the world, but Cenx later stated that this idea had been abandoned in favor of a new, unknown concept proposed by [[Crowno]].<ref>http://www.terrariaonline.com/threads/an-update-on-things.154239/</ref> The new concept was presumably the [[Lunar Events]] and the Moon Lord.
 
* With a combined health of 145,000 (217,500 in expert mode), the Moon Lord has the most health of any boss in the game. It is also the largest enemy in Terraria; one of very few that deal no melee damage on contact (aside from the hands during the second phase); the only enemy that goes behind background [[wall]]s; and one of the two enemies with a special animation when they die, the other one being the [[Flying Dutchman]].
 
* When the Moon Lord is present, both the foreground and the background become very dark. Despite this, the Moon Lord is still fully visible.
 
* After destroying the fourth pillar, but before the Moon Lord spawns, whatever music is playing starts to fade out, stopping completely a few seconds before he spawns.

Quick Answers

What is the Moon Lord's role in the game Terraria? toggle section
The Moon Lord plays a significant role in Terraria as the final boss of the game. This formidable adversary is summoned either by using a Celestial Sigil or by defeating the Celestial Pillars. The Moon Lord is known for its challenging combat mechanics, requiring players to defeat its two hands and a head by attacking the eyes that appear on them. Once all three eyes are destroyed, a core opens on its chest that also needs to be defeated. The Moon Lord drops a majority of the endgame items, including the Meowmere, and Luminite, an ore used to craft many endgame armor sets and tools. Therefore, learning how to fight the Moon Lord is crucial for players aiming to reach the endgame content of Terraria.

How can you summon the Moon Lord in Terraria? toggle section
In Terraria, the Moon Lord can be summoned in two ways. The first method is by defeating all four of the Celestial Pillars, which triggers the Moon Lord's arrival after a short delay. The second method is by using a Celestial Sigil, an item that can manually summon the Moon Lord when used. Both methods will lead to an epic showdown with the lord of the moon, so be prepared for a challenging fight!

What happens after the status message 'Impending doom approaches...' appears in Terraria? toggle section
In Terraria, after the status message 'Impending doom approaches...' appears, it signifies that the Moon Lord, the final boss of the game, is about to spawn. This happens one minute after the message appears. The Moon Lord can be spawned by destroying the four Celestial Pillars or by using a Celestial Sigil in any world where Golem has been defeated. If you're using the Celestial Sigil, the Moon Lord will spawn in just 12 seconds after the message. So, get ready for a thrilling fight!

What is the significance of the Golem in relation to the Moon Lord in Terraria? toggle section
In Terraria, the defeat of the Golem is a significant event that sets the stage for the appearance of the Moon Lord. Once the Golem is defeated, Cultists spawn at the Dungeon's entrance. When these Cultists are killed, it summons the Lunatic Cultist and then the Lunar Events, provided certain other conditions are also met. This chain of events eventually leads to the summoning of the Moon Lord, the final boss of Terraria. Alternatively, the Moon Lord can be summoned directly using the Celestial Sigil.
Provided by: Fandom
What is the Celestial Sigil and how is it used in Terraria? toggle section
The Celestial Sigil is a boss-summoning item in Terraria, specifically used to summon the Moon Lord, a post-Hardmode boss. It's crafted from 12 / 20 of each of the Lunar Fragments. Unlike other summoning items, the Moon Lord doesn't appear immediately after the Celestial Sigil is used. Instead, it takes 12 / 60 seconds for the Moon Lord to actually show up. The Celestial Sigil can only be used under certain conditions: the world must be in Hardmode, the Golem must have been defeated, and there should be no ongoing invasions.
