== Bug Fixes ==
−
'''Plantera''' is a [[Hardmode]] [[Boss]] that can be fought after all three [[Mechanical Bosses]] ([[The Destroyer]], [[Skeletron Prime]], and [[The Twins]]) have been defeated. In the {{Console version|Console}} and {{Mobile version}}, only one Mechanical Boss must be defeated.
  
   
  +
* [[Pumpkin Dresser]]s now properly take [[Pumpkin]]s to craft.
−
== Summoning ==
  
  +

−
<div style="float:right">[[File:PlanterasBulb.jpg|thumb|[[Plantera's Bulb]] in dark and light]]</div>
  
  +
* Fixed a bug where [[Ebonwood Clock]] would require wood rather than [[Ebonwood]].
−
After all three [[Mechanical Bosses]] have been defeated (only one required in the [[Console version]] and [[Mobile version]]), one or more [[Plantera's Bulb]]s will appear somewhere in the [[Underground Jungle]]. Destroying one of these bulbs requires a [[Pickaxe]] or a [[Drill]], and upon doing so, Plantera will spawn immediately with the message, "Plantera has awoken!" Plantera spawns off-screen and is quite easy to outrun, which means if you intend for it to chase you, you will need to stop periodically or move much more slowly than normal.
  
  +

  +
* All summoning weapons now cost 10 [[Mana]] to use. This will allow them to get the Mythical [[prefix]].

== Attacks ==
 +
== References ==
  +
{{reflist}}
−
Plantera moves through blocks. It uses long vines to grapple foreground blocks, which cause 60 damage on contact.
  
   
  +
{{Versions}}
−
=== First stage ===
  
−
<div style="float:right">[[File:Plantera screenshot.png|thumbnail|right|Plantera awoken]]</div>
  
−
Plantera creeps after the player, firing pink Seeds and eventually green Poison Seeds. These fire more rapidly as Plantera takes more damage. Plantera also begins to spit large, bouncing thorn balls after taking a certain amount of damage. <!-- how much damage? -->
  
−  
−
=== Second stage ===
  
−
Once Plantera is brought down to half of its original health, it changes to its second form, with its pink bud falling away to reveal a thorn-filled mouth. In this form, Plantera moves quicker, and primarily attempts to make physical contact rather than fire ranged attacks.
 
−  
−
Additionally:
  
−
* It sprouts mouths that are attached via additional vines (called "Plantera's Tentacles").
  
−
* It begins releasing floating pink spore projectiles that drift toward the player, similar to the spores released by the [[Giant Fungi Bulb]].
  
−  
−
=== Enraged behavior ===
  
−
Plantera only becomes "enraged" if it follows the player out of the [[Underground Jungle]], to the surface, for instance. This causes it to gain significantly more damage and movement speed, and will attempt to remain directly on top of the player, causing constant damage.
  
−  
−
== Attack types ==
  
−
*[[File:Plantera Seed.png]] [[File:Poison Seed.png]] '''Seeds (first stage):''' Similar to the stingers of the [[Hornet]]s. They do not travel through blocks. The green Poison Seeds are more deadly than the more frequently fired pink Seeds. Plantera will not begin shooting the green seeds until she drops below around 24000 life.
  
−
*[[File:Thorn Ball.png|30px]] '''Thorn Balls (first stage):''' Thorn balls are similar to the [[Spiky Ball]] weapon. These bounce around erratically through the Jungle and can overwhelm the player if they stay in the same area for too long, as well as deal large amounts of damage on contact. Plantera will not begin releasing thorn balls until she drops below around 24000 life. She will stop releasing the thorn balls once she enters the second stage although the thorn balls previously released may linger for a bit. Also they appear to be the new saving icon for the Console version replacing the Thorn Chakram.
  
−
*[[File:Plantera's Hook.png|30px]] '''Plantera's Hooks:''' The ends of Plantera's tentacles, which cling to surfaces and deal 60 damage on contact.
 
−
*[[File:Plantera's Tentacle.png|30px]] '''Plantera's Tentacles (second stage):''' Gnawing minions on "leashes", akin to smaller versions of [[The Hungry]]. They deal 60 damage and get in the way of the player's attacks, making piercing weapons more valuable. Relatively weak and easily killed with proper equipment.
  
−
*[[File:Spore.png]] '''Spores (second stage):''' Similar to the [[Fungi Spore]]s fired by the [[Giant Fungi Bulb]]. Travels through blocks. Easily destroyed, but deal 70 damage if touched.
  
−  
−
== Aftermath ==
  
−
When Plantera is defeated for the first time, it will always drop a [[Grenade Launcher]] with [[Rocket I]]'s for ammo, as well as the [[Temple Key]]. A Temple Key drops each time Plantera is defeated thereafter. The Temple Key allows access to the [[Lihzahrd Temple]] and [[Golem]]. The Temple Key can also be combined with [[Biome Key Mold]]s to craft [[Biome Key]]s for access to [[Biome Chest]]s.
  
−  
−
A [[status message]] saying ''"Screams are echoing from the dungeon''" will appear, signaling that new, more difficult [[enemy]] types will begin spawning in the [[Dungeon]] ''([[Dungeon#Hardmode post-Plantera Dungeon|see details]])''. These drop new weapons, accessories, and other useful items. [[Dungeon Spirit]]s will begin to appear when enemies with more than 100 health are slain in the dungeon, which drop [[Ectoplasm]], a new [[crafting material]] that offers access to the [[Pumpkin Moon]] and [[Frost Moon]] events, as well as the [[Spectre armor]] and [[Spectre tools|tool]] sets.
  
−  
−
Additionally:
  
−
* Hardmode [[Crimson]], [[Corruption]], and [[Hallow]] spread will be slowed down to 1/3 (33%) of their previous speed.
  
−
* The [[Cyborg]] [[NPC]] becomes available.
  
−
* The [[Truffle]] begins selling the [[Autohammer]], used to craft [[Shroomite Bar]]s for [[Shroomite armor]] and other endgame items.
 
⚫
* The [[Traveling Merchant]] will begin selling the [[Pulse Bow]].
  
−  
−
== Notes ==
  
−
* If Plantera is currently summoned and you break another bulb, a second Plantera will not be summoned, though the bulb will be destroyed.
  
−
* If Plantera has no surfaces to latch onto, the body of Plantera will slowly float off, going up into the space portion of the map, or until it hits a space where it can latch onto again. This can cause the loot from the boss to be unreachable in some cases.
  
−
* If the player strays too far away from Plantera, it will despawn.
  
−
* If the player stands inside Plantera during its second form, Plantera's Tentacles will not target them.
  
−
* If you use the Magic Mirror while Plantera is summoned, Plantera has a chance of following you to your spawn point.
  
−
*The Plantera mask is no longer available on console and mobile.
  
−
*Plantera's Hooks are very similar to man eaters.
  
−
*In the {{mobile version}}, sometimes the [[Plantera's Bulb]] will not appear no matter how many [[Mechanical Bosses]] you have fought.
  
−  
−
== Tips ==
 
−
{{strategies|Guide:Plantera strategies}}
  
−
* Excavate a sizable area to allow easier dodging before summoning Plantera.
  
−
* Using a [[Gravitation Potion]] can help you avoid any further damage from spiky balls laying on the ground, as the spiky balls obey gravity and fall to the floor.
  
−
* Plantera's Bulb can spawn in player-made [[Jungle]] [[Biome]]s, which can provide a slightly easier way to fight Plantera.
  
−
* Narrow Passages slow Plantera as it takes more time for it to grip the surrounding terrain.
  
−  
−
== Trivia ==
  
−
* The name "Plantera" is a play on the title of American metal band [[wikipedia:Pantera|Pantera]], which is [[Cenx]]'s favorite band. Plantera drops "[[The Axe]]", which looks similar to the Washburn and Dean electric guitars often used by late Pantera guitarist Dimebag Darrell. Plantera's music also features electric guitars.
  
−
* As of the console [[1.2]] update, the saving icon is one of the spiked balls that Plantera fires. Prior to that, the [[Thorn Chakram]] was used as icon to save.
  
−
* Plantera is currently the only boss with unique music for the battle on the console and mobile editions. (Queen Bee's battle music is unique on the PC)
