Mostly a skill issue, but this is just wild to me that this is the usual. I did try grappling away but I couldn’t and the fact that I’m slowed to a crawl right to to the guy doesn’t help.
Generally walking into the enemy when you have no knockback resist is a poor idea. If you want to avoid situations like that in the future you should build a proper arena because as it stands you have nowhere to escape if you get caught like you did

Deer doesn’t do collision damage, you can walk right through her. She’s the only boss like that, though.

The legs don’t do collision damage, and it has a pattern of attacking on the sides. The only issue is the shadow hands, they’ll just kill you for fun. One of the only two attacks to have predictive ai (I think) and the other one belongs to MrMoon himself. Weird boss imo

Open the arena at the top, make a platform just above his head, that gives you more room to evade his attacks. If you make walls on two sides you can bounce your waterbolts off them.
Don’t forget campfire and heart lantern buffs.

Use shield of cthulhu and also open up your arena. Run to one end of your arena and then either dash in between deerclops’ legs or jump over its head to go the other way.

I got it thanks guys, I didn’t want to open up the arena because I wanted to keep the ice thing there for a town build and didn’t feel like rebuilding it, but I didn’t know there was no collision.

Just kite, also I recommend spear and football helemts. Sorry wrong deerclops
Really, legs deals no contact damage, you can walk beneath Deerclops

You can build a platform and jump over him, makes it pretty easy, at least that’s what I do
