The Meowmere is a Hardmode, post-Moon Lord melee weapon. When swung, it fires a cat-shaped projectile trailed by a rainbow that consumes no mana or ammunition. The projectile is affected by gravity, and will bounce four times, piercing multiple enemies, before disappearing on the fifth hit. The Meowmere has a 11.11% (1/9) chance to be dropped by the Moon Lord. It is capable of autoswing.

Its best Modifier is Legendary.

What is Golem's behavior? toggle section

Golem shoots ricocheting fireballs, attacks with its fists that extend from chains, jumps around, and fires eye lasers in its second form. Its fists and head can pass through blocks.

Provided by: Fandom

What is Golem's health? toggle section

Golem has a total of 60,000 / 90,000 / 114,749 health, with its head having 25,000 / 37,500 / 47,812 health, its body having 15,000 / 22,500 / 28,687 health, and each fist having 10,000 / 15,000 / 19,125 health.

Notes

The explosions produced when the projectile ricochets grow in size with each bounce.
The projectiles also seem to speed up every

time they bounce and/or pierce

This weapon can be very useful in close range situations, even when inside the Hardmode Dungeon for example, because of the tight corridors and small chambers with relatively flat geometry.
Projectile reflecting enemies, such as the Selenian and closed Mimics, will reflect the cat projectile. As the Meowmere has the highest base damage of any weapon in the game, and is often used at close range to strike with the blade, this can prove especially deadly to users.

Tips

Once this weapon is obtained, farming the Moon Lord becomes significantly easier. He can easily be defeated by auto-swinging it backwards while running.

Trivia

The cat-shaped rainbow projectiles that the sword fires are inspired by the Nyan Cat meme.
The Meowmere has the highest base damage of all melee weapons, followed closely by the Terrarian. However, Terrarian has a higher DPS.
When the cat projectile hits a wall, it makes a "meow" sound.
Some weapons like Dynamite, Bunny Cannon and Explosives have more damage than Meowmere even with Legendary Modifier.

+The '''Meowmere''' is a [[Hardmode]], post-[[Moon Lord]] [[melee weapon]]. When swung, it fires a cat-shaped projectile trailed by a rainbow that consumes no [[mana]] or [[ammunition]]. The projectile is affected by gravity, and will bounce four times, piercing multiple [[enemies]], before disappearing on the fifth hit. The Meowmere has a 11.11% (1/9) chance to be dropped by the Moon Lord. It is capable of [[autoswing]].
-'''Golem''' is a [[Hardmode]], post-[[Plantera]] [[boss]] found in the [[Jungle Temple]]. In its first form, Golem has three target areas: its head and its two hands. After its head is defeated, it detaches and Golem enters its second stage. Its target area then becomes its body.
+Its best [[Modifier]] is '''Legendary'''.
-Once Golem is defeated, [[Cultist]]s spawn at the [[Dungeon]]'s entrance, which can be used to summon the [[Lunatic Cultist]] and then the [[Lunar Events]]. [[Martian Probe]]s also begin spawning randomly, which can trigger the [[Martian Madness]] event.
-== Summoning ==
-Golem is summoned by right-clicking the [[Lihzahrd Altar]], located in the final [[Jungle Temple]] chamber, while at least one [[Lihzahrd Power Cell]] is in the player's inventory. Golem will spawn in directly above the Altar. One Lihzahrd Power Cell is contained within each of the Jungle Temple's [[Lihzahrd Chest]]s, and can be dropped rarely by [[Lihzahrd]] enemies.
-== Behavior ==
-Golem's main body cannot move through [[block]]s, but its laser attack can. Its stone head can also travel through blocks once it detaches in the second stage. On console versions, the stone head cannot pass through blocks once detached, allowing players to trap it by placing blocks.
-=== First form ===
-Golem shoots ricocheting fireballs, attacks with its fists that extend from chains, and jumps around. These increase in frequency as each part takes more damage: When the fists are damaged, they will attack more often; when the head is damaged, Golem jumps and shoots more often. Golem's fists can travel through blocks, but have limited range, and will also retract immediately upon being hit with any weapon.
-When the head falls below half health (8000), all previous attacks continue, but the head will begin to fire lasers that can travel through blocks. It fires more rapidly as it takes more damage and the fists will not retract upon being damaged with a weapon.
-=== Second form ===
-When Golem's stone head has taken full damage, it detaches to reveal its "robotic" head. Its body (9000 health) then becomes the target. If the arms have not been destroyed, they will continue to attack the player more rapidly while the body continues to jump around.
-The stone head is invulnerable to attacks and flies around, and can move through blocks. It fires lasers that also travel through blocks, and shoot ricocheting fireballs. Both the fireballs and lasers are fired more frequently as the body takes more damage. Once the body drops to 0 health, the stone head and any surviving arms will also die. The Golem will always drop one of the first 8 items (not counting [[Stynger Bolt]]s).

 == Notes ==
+* The explosions produced when the projectile ricochets grow in size with each bounce.
-* Golem can only be summoned in a world where [[Plantera]] has been defeated. Attempting to summon it in a world where Plantera has not yet been defeated will fail, and a [[Lihzahrd Power Cell]] will not be consumed from the player's inventory.
+* The projectiles also seem to speed up every

+ time they bounce and/or pierce
-* {{pc icon}} In order to use a Lihzahrd Power Cell, you must right-click the altar. Holding a Power Cell and left-clicking will do nothing.
+* This weapon can be very useful in close range situations, even when inside the Hardmode [[Dungeon]] for example, because of the tight corridors and small chambers with relatively flat geometry.
-* Like most bosses, Golem will despawn if the player travels too far away, including traveling back through the Lihzahrd Temple.
+* Projectile reflecting enemies, such as the [[Selenian]] and [[Mimic#Special_variants|closed Mimics]], will reflect the cat projectile. As the Meowmere has the highest base damage of any weapon in the game, and is often used at close range to strike with the blade, this can prove especially deadly to users.
-* Like [[Plantera]], Golem will not despawn if you set your spawn point close to him.
 == Tips ==
+* Once this weapon is obtained, farming the Moon Lord becomes significantly easier. He can easily be defeated by auto-swinging it backwards while running.
-{{strategies|Guide:Golem strategies}}
-* When summoned, Golem will spawn above the Lihzahrd Altar and fall.
-* If you have already beaten the Golem, you can use the [[Picksaw]] to pick up the [[Lihzahrd Altar]] and move it to a more suitable arena.
-* Golem's fist attack will only fire at you when you are in the middle or to the same side as the fist. A fist will not cross the Golem to strike a player, even if the other fist has been destroyed.
-* The Golem cannot move through solid blocks, so you can create a cage of blocks to encase the altar (make sure it is big enough for the Golem to fit inside). You can then use weapons that can attack through blocks, mine gaps in the cage walls to fire through, or place [[trap]] mechanisms with it. His eye-lasers and fist attacks will travel through solid blocks, but the cage will nullify his jumping mechanic (not only removing a large portion of the fights movement, but also making him easier to hit which speeds the fight up considerably).
 == Trivia ==
+* The cat-shaped rainbow projectiles that the sword fires are inspired by the [[wikipedia:Nyan Cat|Nyan Cat]] meme.
-* A [[wikipedia:golem|golem]] was originally a being from Jewish folklore, created from mud or clay and brought to life through rituals in order to defend townspeople from attacks. The theme persists in stories and video games today.
+* The Meowmere has the highest base damage of all melee weapons, followed closely by the [[Terrarian]]. However, Terrarian has a higher DPS.
+* When the cat projectile hits a wall, it makes a "meow" sound.
+* Some weapons like [[Dynamite]], [[Bunny Cannon]] and [[Explosives]] have more damage than Meowmere even with Legendary Modifier.
