The EASIEST way to defeat the Empress of Light
While moonlord might be terraria’s final boss It Is by no means the hardest as that title goes to the Empress of light this fairy themed boss has two different forms with super strong attacks with it even having the chance to instant kill a fully maxed out player but if you do
Manage to defeat it the loot more than makes up for the difficulty of this battle that’s why in today’s video I’ll be going over the easiest way to defeat the Empress of life before we jump in I want to clarify a few things to start I
Will be assuming you have access to End Game Gear like the Zenith and Rod of Harmony and have your player fully upgraded next this guide is more made for the daylight form but because the daylight form is just a stronger version of the regular form this guide will work
For both easily with that out of the way let’s begin the first thing you need to know is how to summon the Empress of light while the Empress of light can spawn at any time the game will only count it as its daytime form if it
Happens between the times of 4 30 am and 7 30 PM so keep that in mind moving forward to actually get it to spawn you will need to kill a prismatic Lance Wing which will spawn in Halo at night and while it only spawns at night you can
Always capture it and release it at any time you want to summon the boss now we will take a look at the gear I recommend using first off I will be assuming your player is fully upgraded including the player upgrades that you get from Shimmer and the extra accessory slot you
Get from the demon heart with that out of the way let’s move on to the Gear starting with the armor I usually use the hallowed set with the hallowed hood for the headpiece to give your minions more damage but the hallowed mask will also work instead since it increases
Melee damage moving on to the weapons I had the best luck using the Zenith along with the Xeno staff the Zenith works well here with you have having to move around a lot during this fight and while other guides might recommend other summoning weapons in my attempts I
Always seem to do better with the Xeno staff for wings I’d recommend the fishron mount due to its speed and for the mount I’d recommend the winged slime mount for when you need to drop fast and finally for the accessories I recommend using the master Ninja for its Dodge
Ability the necromantic scroll and Papyrus Scarab for the extra minion slot and damage the brain of confusion for its Dodge effect and the final two slots will depend on which form you’re going up against if you’re going up against the Knight form then I recommend using
The moon and Celestial stone for all of their stat Buffs bullet if you are going up against the daytime form I recommend the soaring insignia for its Infinite Flight ability which will drop from the Empress of light in expert mode and the Sunstone for its stat Buffs and lastly
The rod of Harmony can help save you when you’re in tight situations so I can’t recommend having it enough next let’s look at what you will get for defeating it since that makes this difficult battle worth it to get this section short as I’m sure you already
Know the drops I’ll only go over the two that make this fight notable the first is the rainbow cursor which just like its name implies turns your cursor rainbow next the daytime Empress of light will always drop the Terra Prisma which is a summoned weapon that will
Summon swords that follow you and auto attack nearby enemies this weapon will deal 90 base damage and is currently listed as the weapon with the highest damage per second although this weapon is amazing getting it isn’t too easy since this boss has some of the strongest attacks in the game which is
What we’ll be taking a look at next the daytime Empress of light is similar to the regular form but the big difference is it will be enraged which will turn all of the moves color into yellow and cause them to instantly kill your player even if it’s fully upgraded there are
Seven different attacks that the Empress of light can use against you which I’ll be going over now the first two moves are Prismatic bolt and Prismatic bolt 2 which will summon a cloud that shoots out lightning at your player her next attack is called Dash attack where she
Will Zoom towards you in a horizontal Direction after that her next move is the Sundance in which she will hover near the player with eight rays that spin clockwise the next move is the Everlasting rainbow which makes Stars spinning clockwise shoot through you and finally the last two moves are ethereal
Lance 1 and 2 which will have Flying Swords summoned at the player’s position to Target and attack the player the Empress of light will use those moves in a specific order which I have on screen now and once she reaches her second phase the moves she uses and the order
They are used changes which I have on the screen right now now that we know all of the attacks possible and how they will be used let’s get into what you will need to do in this fight before we start in this section it’s important to note that the strategy will essentially
Be the same for both forms since the attacks really don’t change between the two while you will definitely need to go through it a few times before you get the hang of it each of the moves can easily be cheesed in one way or another the first move can easily be dodged by
Falling when you see the stars coming at you the second move will be the Sunbeam move which is easily avoidable and the perfect time to deal lots of damage the next attack will be her Dash which is avoidable by constantly staying away from her which you should be doing
Anyway her third attack will be the clockwise spinning Stars which can be avoided by flying in one direction for a good bit and the final attack before the loop starts over again is the laser swords which can be avoided by always moving out of the lines they spawn at
This point you will most likely be on her second phase which is a lot harder to explain since A lot’s happening but it’s mostly the same strategies I just went over just with the attacks being stronger and faster the second phase is definitely what you will spend the most
Time on learning since it’s very easy to get caught in her attacks as so many happen so fast but you will quickly realize it’s almost the same each time giving you the chance to easily memorize the movement patterns that wraps up my guide on the easiest way to defeat both
Forms of the Empress of light while this is what ended up working for me sure to let me know in the comments the setups which work for you thanks for sticking to the end and as always make sure to have a wonderful day
Out of all of the bosses in Terraria, the Empress of light stands out due to its difficulty and incredible loot
like the Terraprisma. This boss has two different forms, one which can even instant kill a fully maxed out player giving you an extremely tough fight which is why in this video I go over the EASIEST way to defeat the empress of light

me and my friend beat emppress of light in 10 second cos we have zenith and sdmg Xd
guide like "EASIEST way to kill empress – just git gud"
thx for the input jeff
Spawn her at night then kill her at 4:30
Bruhhh
with adamantite armor, terra blade, no buff and potion, during martian madness event and solar eclipse i accidentally spawned this boss.
i got him to 30k health, then i died.
idk how ive done it
Thank you❤
"Ok. Here's how to kill empress of light. So first you need an accessory that you get from killing empress of light"
I had the best luck using the zenith-
well no duh
ah yes prismatic lancewing
oh I forgot the easiest way to kill the empress of light daytime is by using terraprisma and soaring insignia and eventide and empress wings and…
What accessories i should use in classic mode since i have only 5 slots instead of 6
The other option is to make a long railway that will go all across the map. (Preferably it should be in the sky)
– Mechanical Cart will grant the speed needed to outrun the projectiles the EoL fires off with periodically having to jump to dodge the horizontal shot she fires off with her lances
– Xenopopper or Chain Gun (Rapid/Frenzying) w/ Chlorophyte bullets or anything that will deal high amount of DPS (Keep a few extra stacks in your inventory to top off your stores of Chlorophyte if you burn through it, you may need a lot) to whittle down EoL's health, if you already beat the Moon Lord, the Vortex Beater would be your go to as it has more power.
– Anything to reduce defense, Ichor Bullets, Golden Shower, or Betsy's Curse works.
– Items/buffs that will reduce chances to consume ammo
1) Prep your buffs and set up your track so it bumpers at the end
2) Kill the Lacewing and then immediately rush to the minecart track and get on
3) Head in one direction and when she catches up, and she will follow you relentlessly, fire off your debuffing method first before switching out your damage methods, repeat if the Ichor debuff wears off.
4) If you reach the end, let go of your movement button and then immediately press in the other direction after hitting the bumper to maintain momentum
5) Repeat
i would just skip the empress rather than watching a guy explaining how to beat her with post moonlord gears;-;
Here is my tip: (for expert mode players)
Kill her in the night first to acces the soaring insignia, and then it is easy
“Prismatic Lancwing”
Lmao use and item you get from beating the boss 😂
would the starboard be good for this fight?
Step 1: first beat the entire game
Step 2: craft zenith
I didnt use the Rod of Harmony and as Minion is used the Stardust Dragon. I love this little Dragon
Goodluck for the players trying to fight EoL on mobile…
He really just suggested you use a empress of light drop to kill empress of light.
Man sounds like nardwuar
Me using doors to fling myself thru little gaps 🍷🗿
It’s really easy if you get the zenith tho
No it's dungeon gard
No offense but to me you sound like goh for pokemon journeys
The most useless guide on YouTube
Incredibly aggravating voice
Easier ending: use zenith to get the empire of light to 500 or below the instantly kill her was it is day time
Bro I’m just trying to fight her for the first time before cultist man 😭
I was almost halfway through the EOL health but I was on a big disadvantage, I'm playing in mobile and her attack pattern is hard to read for me because of how colorful her attacks are.
(I accidentally killed a prismatic lacewingwhile testing the DPS on the fluxwave)
I used pre-golem ranger accessories, sniper rifle with chlorophyte bullets, farmed for Rod of Discord and built a 2 layer mine cart track across the world and it worked for daytime EoL.
Edit: it did took me 4 tries.
Sadly this guide doesnt work anymore. She ignores any "dodge" ability.
damn i didn’t know nardwaur played terraria
Bros voice💀
Bro i dont wanna cheese it
Guys, I fricked up. I accidentally summoned her. I just defeated Plantera and got whooped by golem right after. I’m gonna cry now
This video is almost entirely useless😂
So you recommend the zenith and an accessory dropped from the EoL to defeat EoL? :/
cheeky, "the easiest way to defeat the empress of light is to use the empress of light trinket you get from killing her on expert mode"
I was going to follow the tutorial until I saw 50/50 dislike ratio
i was hoping this is a tutorial for pre-moonlord characters T-T
I've accidentally summoned her in my hardcore World pre lunatic cultist, HELP
How are you assuming people having end game weapons when they are here to literally see a video to defeat the empress easily.
Well… I guess this would be the easiest way.. assuming you already beat her in expert mode before, beat moonlord already as well, and basically have your hands on the top gear the game has to offer?
I just killed her with no strategy at all, I just hit and run
The item I use is obviously zenith and the item is Fire gauntlet, celestial thing, mechanical glove,destroyer emblem and warrior emblem. In classic mode…… with this you can kill her after she does the first attack
Will work for both easily (use zenith for moon the easier version)
