(IDEA) Beat terraria in 4 bosses?! (Actually 5) [Open to FRIENDLY discussion]

[Blackbird]

I just randomly had a thought, what's the LEAST amount of bosses you need to beat in order to beat the Moon Lord? Here's what I got:

King Slime - definitely not necessary.
Eye of Cthulu - Also not necessary.
Eater of Worlds - Not completely necessary. As there is the reaver shark alternative (which you don't really need anyway), plus the tavernkeep is not necessary.
Queen Bee - probably the most unnecessary boss ever. Witch doctor doesn't matter.
Skeletron - Necessary, else the cultists won't spawn (Thanks captain narwhal!)

Wall of Flesh - The only pre-Hmode boss that is necessary! Of course you need this to progress, like honestly.

All 3 of the Mechs - Not necessary. You might be thinking "but plantera!" Well, read on...
Plantera - Not necessary! Yep, you heard that right. As far as I know, there's a few glitches for getting into the temple early.
Golem - Sadly necessary. You need it to spawn lunatic cultists. And you might ask "why can't you beat golem pre-Hmode to beat lunatics without beating WOF?" Well, I don't think the lunatics spawn if the world is pre-Hmode. R.I.P!
Duke Fishron - Unnecessary.
Lunatic Cultist - Yep, this is necessary. You need it to spawn the pillars to spawn the moon lord.

Moon lord - .... What do you think? of course you need to beat the moon lord to beat the moon lord!


Conclusion: You can beat terraria with only 4 boss kills! Wall of Flesh, Golem, Cultist, And Moon lord! Also, don't ask about "what about good gear" because some players are good enough to even beat golem with pre-hardmode gear..



Please correct me if I'm wrong on anything. Please don't start a flame war.

I don't think you can summon Golem without beating Plantera first, even if you glitch your way in.

Could be wrong tho. Might've just been a glitch in my game or something.

Also, you have to kill Skeletron or the Cultists won't spawn, that I can guarantee.

They fixed not requiring plantera to fighr golem as golem is disabled to dight until you fight plantera

What? He's just trying to figure out the minimum bosses you need to beat to win the game.

What does Sash's little self-challenge have to do with this?

little self-challenge? sorry but its way harder than this "4 boss challenge".

It's not a challenge, he's literally just trying to figure out the least bosses needed to win. There's no challenge to it.

Also, yes, it's a "little self-challenge" because it's a rather small challenge that Sash invented for himself that others have picked up on, though very few.

I'm not here to argue difficulty, just wondering why you even brought that up?

Actually, it's a perfectly valid judgement unless you can prove otherwise.

Wow, it's turning into politics, where who you are matters more than what you say.

youre just a typical softcore forum dweller. you wont even fight us. thats how pathetic you all are.
and yes. it does matter what core you play. because it defines how good you really are.

So basically you can't refute my claim with logic, so you're playing the Ad-Hominem game.

Tell me when you're ready to actually debate instead of just shouting "softcore is bad".

Was it after moon lord was added? If so, I'm still going to keep this here, because I never said what version it needed to be in.

@ OP.eX:

Captain Narwhal has WAYYYY more valid arguments than you. Sash's challenges are just fun single challenges, and in no way am I calling them easy. Don't think I'm saying that. And who cares if they play softcore? Everybody has their own way of enjoying things, whether it be challenging themselves as much as possible, being a completionist or simply doing what they want to. You shouldn't judge anyone simply for being worse at a game, maybe they don't even want to be good. Maybe they want to stay bad so it doesn't take too much to challenge them and the game can always be enjoyed. You two should just stop arguing and don't let your differences get to you. I simply wanted some debate on different things about this topic and how you need more/less bosses to beat the game, but no. All you know how to do (talking to op, not narwhal) is cause arguments over sash being better at the game than everybody.

doesnt really matter what you say. youre still a typical softcore at the end of the day. none of you will fight me. thats how bad you are. nothing to lose, but still wont verse us? sad, really. you'd expect to see quite a lot of good players when there are 20 million copies sold. but instead you get narwhals that only talk and do absolutely nothing in-game.

And again with "hurr durr softcore bad". I have never said once that I'm as good as you in this game, nor will I ever make this claim.

On the other hand, you've managed to mistranslate my question of "what does sashcore have to do with figuring out the minimum bosses needed to win the game" to "lol sash bad im good" somehow. Not really sure how or why, but you somehow managed it.

In that case, it doesn't matter what you say either. Being good at a game does not elevate you to a higher position than the world around you. Who cares about him being softcore? Like I said, everybody has their different ways of enjoying things and we choose to just have fun playing the game on an easier mode than you enjoy. So what? That's no reason to start silly arguments.

And, so what if we versus you or not? There's no point, as we know we are going to lose, even if there's nothing to lose. When it's not a somewhat even skill match, it's not really fun. And there are plenty of great players I'm sure, after all only like 15 people are active on this forum. Meet all 20 million of those players and I'm sure atleast 1000 will challenge you. And you can't just assume he does nothing in game. This is actually so silly, why can't people just get along? before I started posting on this forum I thought the terraria community was one of the best...

Here comes OP with saying "who care's you're still bad on softcore and cant 1v1 us because scared for no reason and sash is best player ever you're all sad and completely useless dont even play terraria"

Don't do this. Don't post stuff like this, we don't need more ad hominems and personal attacks. As much as logical reasoning and civil debate is trampled on, I'd at least like to have somebody other than me prefer to talk like civilized adults rather than just attack the person talking.

The only thing I ever say is that someone is using ad-hominems and attacking personally, I try not to sit there and berate/antagonize someone like this.

i think it does. we are talking about a game. you have very little game knowledge / skill.

AND there is a point for you to verse me. you'll learn something. and you will progress.
even if you lose. you will still learn something. its useful for you. trust me.
