How to summon all bosses in Terraria (2023)

There are several bosses to fight in Terraria. Each of these bosses has a unique summoning requirement that you must meet if you plan on taking on them and if you plan on working your way through the entire game. You can choose to face them alone or with a group of friends. In this guide we will tell you how to summon all bosses in Terraria.

Summon all bosses in Terraria

There are three types of bosses that you can find in Terraria. Pre-Hardmode, Hardmode, and Event bosses.

All bosses in pre-hard mode

Cthulhu's brain

You have to use worm food or break three shadow orbs. You can craft Worm Food by finding 30 Vile Powder and 15 Rotten Chunk and taking them to a Demon or Crimson Altar. After creating it, you must proceed to the corruption part of the game and consume it. Otherwise it has no effect and does not summon the boss. Alternatively, you can find the three shadow orbs by visiting the levels of Corruption's Chasm.

Eye of Cthulhu

The only way to summon the Eye of Cthulhu is to use the suspicious looking eye. You need six lenses to craft the item, and you need to craft it at a Demon or Crismon age. Alternatively, you can loot the item by looking in gold and frozen chests in the cave and dungeon, or in ivy chests in the jungle. Once you have the Eye, you must use it at night to summon the Eye of Cthulhu.

slime king

You can only summon the Slime King with the Slime Crown. The only way to craft it is to use 20 Gel with a Gold Crown or a Platinum Crown and then do it on a Demon or Crimson Altar. Once you have the item, you can use it at any time to summon the monster.

queen bee

There are two methods to summon Queen Bee. The first is to craft the Abbemination and use it in the jungle biome. To craft the item, you must have with you a jar of bottled honey, five beehives, five blocks of honey, and a stinger. After that, you can prepare item by item. Alternatively, you can crack the queen bee larva found in a beehive in the jungle biome.

skeleton

The Skeletron gives you access to every dungeon in the game, so it's essential. You can summon it by talking to the Old Man NPC at night. Talking to him at this point will activate a curse and summon the boss to your location. After defeating Skeletron once, you can summon him again by killing the Clothier, an NPC who sells vanity items for you, with the Clothier Voodoo Doll, and it's night.

wall of flesh

You can only summon the Wall of Flesh by throwing a voodoo doll of the Fuhrer, the first NPC near you at the start of the game, into lava. The leader must be alive at the moment you throw him into the flaming pit. To find the guide voodoo doll, you can eliminate the voodoo demons in the underworld.

Alles Hardcore-Bosse

Duque Fishron

To summon Duke Fishron you need to find a truffle worm in the glowing mushroom biome. So you should only catch it with a bug net. Once you catch it and catch it with this special net, use it as bait on your fishing rod in the ocean biome.

Empress of Light

You must find a Prismatic Lacewing to summon the Empress of Light. Before this creature appears, you must defeat Plantera. After that, you can find a Prismatic Lacewing in Surface Hallow from dusk to midnight, which you need to capture with a bug net. You can then release and kill the creature at any time in any biome to summon the Empress.

Golem

The giant golem is only summoned with a Lihzahrd power cell at the Lihzahrd altar, which you can find in the jungle biome. Energy Cells can be dropped by Lihzahrd and flying creatures found in temples, or you can find one in the Lihzahrd's chest. You must first defeat Plantera before you can summon the golem.

In order for the mad cultist to leave, you must first defeat the golem and then find the four cultists standing at the entrance to the Dungeon Mysterious Tablet. The crazy cultist will arrive after you kill these four cultists.

There are two ways to invoke the Lord of the Moon. The first method is to destroy all four Celestial Pillars that appear in the Lunar Event, which begins after you defeat the Lunatic Cultist. They appear in four different locations on the map. The second method is to create a Celestial Sigil, which you can craft when you have 20 Sun Fragments, 20 Vortex Fragments, 20 Nebula Fragments, and 20 Stardust Fragments. Once you have all the ingredients, you can find an Ancient Manipulator Crafting Station to craft it. If you want to use Celestial Sigil, Lunar Events must not be active at the same time.

The destroyer

As with Skeletron Prime, the only way to summon the Destroyer is to consume a Clockwork Worm at night. You must craft this item on a mithril or orichalcum anvil using six rotted chunks, any iron ingot, and six night souls, or six vortexes, five iron ingots, and six night souls.
