Why Deerclops is Terraria’s Worst Boss. #terraria
deerclops is the worst boss fight in Terraria by far or at least that’s what people say but what makes this boss fight so unlikable let’s talk about it it comes down to one thing Shadow Hand you see the way you’re meant to fight Deerclops isn’t like any other boss in Terraria you’re meant to dodge his attacks by going under his feet twice and then on his third attack you jump above him it’s not a great attack cycle but it’s not bad either the issue is that he’ll often summon the shadow hand projectile which punishes you for staying close and hiding under his legs every now and then this attack will literally be impossible to avoid and that’s the big problem
Why is Deerclops so bad in Terraria? Let’s talk about it.

Fought him once, it was boring to me and i dislike his vibe. It works kinda in don't starve but i still think he is kinda lame, so i don't like him compared to the cooler terraria creatures
Is Deerclops really the worst boss fight in Terraria? 🤔
Its a she
Jump over his head on his first 2 attacks and step away or move up on his last one(if you have platforms) while dodging the hands
or you could just not sit under her feet. If it's not working, try something else. I'm not saying the shadow hands aren't bad, but you're gonna get hit 10x more to them if you're sitting under her feet.
Just jump. Double jump, double jump, dash.
For me, the main thing is the attacks-theyre just rlly boring.
but also, the way you can just fight her after dying makes her a very monotonous boss of dodging, attacking, dying and going back to the tundra if the shadow hands mess up uour rhythm
golem is significantly worse. i hate him beyond human comprehension
I don’t think deerclopes is that bad and the shadow hand aren’t near I enough for an issue unless your going for a no hit but that not how 99.9% of people are going to fight him. In master mode shadow hand deal 60 base damage you probably have some armour most likely around 20 defence plus another 8 from iron skin which means that the amount of damage you are taking is 32 which isn’t a lot and considering the rest of his attacks are not hard to dodge your in no damage for dying considering that you will have 400 heath it would take 13 hits to kill without healing you would have to have some major skill issue to die to it.
Also if where taking about predicting attack the moon lord as has one which is much worse which deals 180 base damage and with armour and buffs it’s around 80 more or less depending on the class but the problem with the moon lord is it a lot less forgiving if you have 600 health you can get hit max of 8 times before dying but unlike deerclopes you also have other attacks to worry about and alway when the true eyes come the damage is increased.
I personally hate him because he doesn’t drop anything good
I kinda hate moon lord tbh. But EoW is my least favourite
I usually just skip him lol he doesn't drop anything useful
I fought him fargos and infernum enabled. It was cool but very difficult.
It's not that hard to beat, it's just hella boring fight
Shadow hands should skate along the ground so they instead make cheesing by sitting under him harder
So he’s the worst boss cause of Skill Issue? The real worst boss is Turkor the Ungrateful.
Nah, I like Deerclops!
Also slightly out of sight
"Oh aight let me turn god mode real quick"
Like bro your entire body is still on screen and I moved slightly too high into the sky
For me, it's that this movement-intensive boss opens the fight by inflicting a 30 second slow on players.
I voted golem simply because you just run in a line while spamming projectiles to win
I don’t think it’s bad it just feels anticlimactic, maybe bcs you can just respawn and he won’t leave but then again it’s good to have 1 boss like this lol
Fun fact: Deerclop is a girl, not a guy
I also hate when people use " oh well you can't have a boss fight be perfect" as an excuse for blatantly s*** design, or blatantly unfair mechanics
Deerclops sucks because he has attacks that cannot be avoided, becomes invincible when you’re like two feet away from him, ISNT FROM TERRARIA, and DOESNT DESPAWN WHEN YOU DIE?! Why make a challenging boss fight if you can beat him with a copper shortsword? Relogic is amazing, but they dropped the ball with this one.
Why does deerclops have so much health for such a boring fight
Skill issue, for me its quit easy.
