A good strategy for King Slime?

[Helispark]

Well, what should I do? I have the right equipment (gold armor, ironskin/swiftness/regeneration potions) but I don't know what weapon I should use. Should I shoot the flaming arrows at the king with a gold bow? Or would jester's arrows do better? Maybe stay a safe distance and spam my starfury at the king?

Jester's arrows would do a better job clearing out all the slimes he spawns thanks to their piercing ability. Really King Slime isn't hard at all, you should be more than prepared with that equipment.

Just keep in mind that the King Slime can teleport to players if you're in a server with a group, not sure about singleplayer on the other side though.

Just like Over said, use jester arrows, but it shouldn't effect a lot by a longshot if you use flaming arrows, nothing to worry about. Goodluck!

He will teleport to a player at random if he's unable to reach any, this includes on singleplayer.

theres also frost burn arrows which are upgraded versions of flaming arrows crafting from wooden arrows and ice torches

The Vilethrorn staff also works too, if you were lucky enough to find it.

That's true, a well-aimed jester arrow (or two, since they don't do too much damage) can be used kill off an entire horde of blue slimes. But if you shoot King Slime with the flaming arrows, does the king start to spawn slimes automatically due to the constant damage from the On Fire debuff? Hopefully not, because I have a ton of flaming arrows left over from my fight with EOC.

Set up a house 5 wide by 10 high (pretty much just a box with one door) stand on one side of the door attacking the kind slime until he teleports then run to the other side of the door. switch every time he teleports.

keeps him from hurting you and you should be killing the blue slimes relatively quickly

Don't die.

I was on a rope that lead to space and got a reasonable distance away from him and shot my mythical demon scythe at him, it killed him in almost five minutes

Necro. How did you find the damned thread?

How i do it:


Make a high platform yet able to see the surface and fire a bow or gun, grenades also work.
Hes unable to reach you when he teleports, yet if he does, fall down and grapple up while he teleports

Way past King Slime now. I'm well into Hardmode, having just defeated the Martians. I did use your strategy against Expert King Slime, though, so thanks for the tips.
