Why is this Terraria boss so forgotten? Terraria’s pre-hardmode progression has many bosses for you to fight, starting with the Eye of Cthulhu all the way to the Wall of Flesh. Along this way, you’ll also encounter many side bosses that some players may or may not slain in there playthrough. Today, we look at possible the most forgotten boss out of the bunch Deerclops, the question is, what can be done to make this boss more relevant in Terraria 1.4.4?

the only time I fought deerclops was in hardmode grinding for an ice key and killed it instantly
I fight him more than duke and empress
don't say that…….
@sockreteez , to clear things up, what is Deerclop's pronouns?
I have heard one of the developers use 'she' pronouns, and a lot of people just say 'it' or 'they'.
I am just a little confuzzled.
You can actually fight deerclops before any of the other bosses, as you can use bombs to acquire the evil ores from naturally spawning veins.
usually, even if i have flinx fur, i will be missing the evil ore of the world. As a long time terraria player, i see no point in keeping just enough ore not to craft all the bars i have.
1:08 they don't have a low spawn rate it's that they can't spawn on snow or ice
I would say she's like a pre-hardmode Duke Fishron: Early power boost but is entirely optional and very avoidable
He is my favorite boss, the chest pet is just the best in the game
I almost never seek to fight this boss. Loot is situational at best, boss is hard to summon and kind of annoying to fight
It gets worse in modded because for whatever ungodly reason AI overhauls like Infernum make this boss just stupidly hard but dont upgrade loot pool; and Deerclopse's loot in modded turns into outright garbage tier because you can find or craft something better anyway. So now you fighting stupid hard boss for no reason whatsoever.
Deerclopse can be deleted from Terraria altogether and grand total of like 10 people would notice. Easily the worst boss all around.
i can understand if your like a content person and you do all these videos about the same game why you would wanna skip bosses but, for me just a random person, when i play terraria i always fight every boss why wouldnt i?
I always fight Deerclops in my playthroughs, like, literally every time, I don’t even know why I do because I never use any of his items except sometimes the bone helm (if anybody is wondering I fight him either in between EOW/BOC and Skeletron or Skeletron and WOF)
I honestly wish the bone helm could get a hardmode or atleast some form of an upgrade. I can't count the times I ACTUALLY fought deerclops and wanted to keep using the bone helm
I will say, I get the money through almost always very early on, when blood moons happens, mostly pre eye and sometimes as late as pre eater of worlds/ brain of cthulu
Deerclops is a really interesting boss since it's the only boss that doesn't despawn if you die (I think his timer is 24 minutes). Also the Bone Helm is really good for Wall of Flesh, combines with the Bone Glove it helps a lot to keep the hungry tentacles out of the way to deal damage to the main eyes and mouth.
with the new update of dont starve (host of horros) maybe deerclops will have some changes to look like crystal deerclops
The funny thing is the "optional" bosses are basically requiredfor summoner. Most Mounts count as summons for damage then queen bee is the only summoner set prehard besides flinx stuff and of course deerclops I believe the accessory with the hands count as a summon damage and of course the sentry summon
I always fight every boss besides betsy
Y'know Don't Starve Together is adding a harder version of Deerclops called Crystal Deerclops and while I kinda doubt it'll happen it would be really cool if Crystal Deerclops got added as a hardmode boss
You can use its drops to take on Master Mode Destroyer, haha.
literally just got destroyed by deerclops as i was hiding from a blood moon in the blizzard
I would say Deerclops has 2 very good features
1: amazing pet, chester is a must have for exploring
2: a banger of a boss soundtrack, it's just amazing
Deerclops is a really easy boss to fight due to it's very predictable attacks, all you really need is some kind of double jump or the like and it's go down easy. If you are close to it, it will use the ice spike attack, which can easily be dodged by jumping over her, the only exception is every 3 ice spikes instead of going on one side it will hit both sides, so just jump backwards instead on those. Can easily be beated around the world evil boss in terms of progression.
People who seem to have a lot of effort to find Flinx' do not seem aware of their spawn requirements. They basically do not spawn on regular snow-biome blocks like snow and ice, and you can only find them in the cavern layer.
The absolute best way to consistently and quickly find Flinx' is to drop down to the cavern layer, have the ice biome still be in the background, but near where the regular caverns cross the ice biome caverns. Since Flinx' can spawn on stone, dirt etc, they will start spawning there, and you will have no issue collecting the Flinx Fur.
It's worth noting that while deerclop does have the most HP of any boss in pre-hardmode, he doesn't despawn upon the player dying and as daunting as his attacks can be; most of his harder to dodge attacks he only use when you aren't in close proximity to him. You can effectively keep fighting him indefinitely even if you are dying to whittle down his health, and if you learn to dodge his attack close range attacks then he can go from post-skeletron to just post-evil boss or even post-EOC if you are good enough. Having his drops that much earlier on make them that much better to go for, and aside from Lucy which is better as a tool than a melee he offers great weapons for each class. Deerskull is a decent filler accessory at that point too if you prefer something more offensive, otherwise it's good in a fishing or building loadout.
He gives the best pre-hardmode and one of the best hardmode axes imo
Because it has shit drops
Lucy was great until it was replaced by Axe of Regrowth
Chester is still neat, but also just a glorified Money Trough
Who fights deer clops after skeletron?
Forgotten??
Eye bone is already good reason to farm Deerclops
I remember walking through a blizzard at midnight with more than 9 defence while having 400hp and taking a hike away from NPCs.
"What the fu–, he can do that on his own!?"
I hate all the crossover content so far. Hoping the dead cells content is good
Nah man I fight this thing every playthrough. I dunno what you're talking about. I can't live without my chester friend.
This is my favorite pre hardmode boss D:
As someone who struggles with money through drop, chester is really nice option. He may be slightly annoying from time to time but the most useful pet.
Lets just appreciate my old team in a server who built their base in the snow
I rarely fight deerclops since in early prehardmode his slow effect and high damage are annoying to deal with (alongside trying to stay in his “bubble” to prevent invulnerability). When I finally do get enough defence / warmth potions to tank them, all their drops minus the eye bone are irrelevant (even so, I like having different pets per character).
I think the main difference between deerclops and other optional bosses is that the other boss drops have long lasting effects on your run (king slime give you a great mount for dodging and an entire tileset, queen bee gives access to witch doctor, good summon gear, and flasks, and queen slime gives the most consistent summon weapon, a unique hook, a town slime, and another great dodging mount) while deerclops’ drops are almost instantly obsolete (Lucy is worse than axe of regrowth, houndius is worse than OOA sentries, and the other weapons and accessories are just flat-out bad).
Deerclops fails the most important test for a boss. If their loot is weaker than what it takes to kill them, it’s not worth fighting
For me, when I came back to my ice biome base after defeating the Wall of Flesh, it automatically spawned in for me. Pretty forgettable fight with lackluster drops
Aham, optional is a word that is liberally used by terrarians. Outside skeletron and wall of flesh, all other pre-HM bosses are optional. Than again, GL to anyone who will do skeletron first (without cheese mechanics).
wdym "obtained much later"? Money through is pre-boss item.
as a summoner i always fight him, i always have the materials on hand and i have good reasons to fight him
