How To Beat Daytime EoL EVERY TIME
If you fight the Empress of Light during the day, she’s arguably the hardest boss in the Terraria. However, if you know EXACTLY how to perform the fight, beating Daytime EoL can actually be quite simple. I wanted to see if I could create a precise step-by-step process that can beat this boss every time, and this is what I came up with!

Could you get similar results by not specifically hovering or does that not generate enough speed. I have both jump and up bound to w and it makes it a lot harder for me to use the hover.
looking in the comments im very surprised people even bother with daytime empress right before moonlord, especially since terraprisma's worse than stardust dragon anyway. i thought people did it post-plantera
Thank you
Another strategy is utilizing dodges from hallowed armor, brain of confusion, and master ninja gear.
i killed daytime empress with a fucking eye of ctuhulhu in my yoyo only run i dont think i need this
nice guide tho
Thou must get good
Thanks for sharing! Was attempting on broom but I’m not skilled enough yet
Just dodge 🙄
This is easy for touhou players
as a defense main, I think am going to pass on empress of light until there is an afk farm that can be made and that works
Use witches broom and no platforms needed, and also more accessory slots for more damage. Kaleidoscope whip, UFO summon, no need for pillar weapons. Broom gives enough speed mobility and you don't need much acceleration. Basically the idea is always dodging perpendicular to her attacks, no panic random movement. For most time just keep flying one direction, when any attack homes on you – go up, when it's a series of attacks – the perpendicular rule. But better watch a tutorial, it's hard to explain in words. This one works too, but honestly the platform stuff with changing direction sounds a bit complicated
For pre-golem gear here are my recommendations.
Weapons: Desert Tiger Staff (or Sanguine if you don't have key) + Morning Star or Kaleidoscope
Armor: Spooky Armor (+4 minions)
Accessories: Necromantic Scroll, Papyrus Scarab, Pygmy Necklace, Hercules Beetle, Avenger Emblem, Summoner Emblem, Fire Gauntlet. (+3 more minions)
Buffs: Bewitching Table and Summoning Potion (+2 minions)
Mount (MUST HAVE): Witch Broomstick + knowledge of how to dodge her attacks. Arena is not necessary.
If you're reading this though, I guess you probably know how to beat her with this set-up. I will say though for those who don't, you'll get Terraprisma for much longer than just killing Moon Lord by doing this.
Her last attack is some sans shit
It's so sad melee players will never be able to complete this boss 😔
i dont wanna ruin anyones fun, but lowk roller blades should prolly get nerfed
Or.. use 500 flares?
since i play a LOT of mmo's and raid bosses in games like lost ark i never understood why people struggled so much with the empress, but i get its a rather nieche skill to have.
Just use entity limit and use minions the steal the Moon's!
Nice guide, but I prefer trial and error for 100 attempts
the best advice for this boss is always don't get hit lol
the best advice for this boss is always don't get hit lol
I'll stick beating her pre plantera cuz I like the challenge (master mode of course)
I waited to do daytime EOL until I beat moonlord & farmed for the rod of discord, changed it to the rod of harmony & set up a platform essentially halfway across the map, summoned my stardust dragon & 5 cells from the cell staff, shot 1000 flares after summoning my dudes & when I summoned her, I made sure my screen was zoomed out essentially as far as it would go, and then as soon as she spawned in, I started TP-ing around to dodge her attacks but let my summons stay around her long enough to damage her. Did it in classic, did it in expert & then master one after another bc of how well it worked lol. Ofc I buffed up hella too but that’s what I did, I don’t recommend for people to wait that long but if you want too it’s worth it
Flare Gun: “Tehe. I can just delete her ranged attacks”
practically endgame gear man, boring af
"And im running on summoner for maximum damage" bro… whos gonna tell him 😭
Why even do EoL at towers? Wow you enjoy soaring/summon for like 1 more hour😭
Finally an actual guide and not a cheese setup! This is what terraria community needs
However, I prefer and recommend to use the souring insignia and master ninja gear for movements and not rely on arena it will make the fight way more fun and reactive and you have no limit of mobility
well it's not really a challenge at all if you just wait for when you have post-cultist gear to fight her. the fun in daytime empress comes from overcoming a challenge at the point of the game you're meant to fight her
i literally just use the hexed branch and run away from it. works everytime.
Would terraprisma be better than stardust cell staff or nah. I want a second one for display
What if I wanted to kill her in pre cultist
The flare gun is looking at you from the corner chest rn
I always use duke fishron mount, rain, and rod of discord. Rod of discord works like the rod of harmony when you die in one hit anyways lol.
I usually just.. idk.. use a basic summoner set up (post plantera stuff)… Hollowed armor (even though the passive doesn't work), and keep trying untill i win… I MIGHT be dumb, but it's rather fun.
You can do it with New Chloro set + Sharknado if you're skilled enough.
Sharknado has a great dps against her because she most of the times stays still for a couple seconds.
Are you willing to do a pre mech guide to this fight with the blade staff
There are easier ways with less variables but yeah, practice and persistence makes it easier.
Man,where were you when I was struggling with her,I had to try 300 times to do it🤧
i would definitely recommend the brain of confusion and/or master ninja gear. The dodges give you a bit more leeway for mistakes. Not sure if this is still how it owrks, but iirc summons will get your damage buffs at the time of summoning, so if you summon them and then switch out the celestial shell and hercules beetle you shouldnt lose much damage.
Do it in early hardmode
Unrelated, did you know 1000 beach balls is like 1 or 2 gold, and prevents all of her bolts and stuff
