How do you beat the mechanical bosses?

[Mister Staby]

They have absurd amounts of health and do insane damage, how are you suposed to beat them?

[Zero_Gravitas]

I generally use any weapon/ ammo that has piercing ability and the highest level armor I can get my hands on early hardmode. I also always have an arena with lots of platforms set up so I can move around really easily. You basically just need to practice moving around a lot and put campfires and heart lanterns around the arena. Buff potions are also really useful for hardmode boss fights.

look, i killed the destroyer using this strategy, i made a block tower until one certain altitude that he can't get to me, then, i stopped on the top, made a 3 block to the right and left with 2 blocks of distance of the tower, summoned the destroyer right after the night came, shoot him down using the minishark or whatever the name of that gun is, using a lot of bullets of course, hope you understand what i wrote, use my and all the others hints the people said to you and beat him yourself =D , my first linguage isn't english, and often i forget words and how to wrote then, sorry :(.

I suggest starting off on twins, focus on the green one first. I used ranged gear for it (adamant/titatium ranged set with clockwork assault rifle and accessories like ranger's emblem, avenger emblem, wings, boots and a philopsopher's stone). It's really not that hard, just don't panic and keep on dodging the green one as much as possible until he dies. The red eye (retinazer or whatever it's called) is even easier, you can even use gravitation potions to dodge the barrage of lasers after he turns to the second form. As for bullets I used crystal ones at the time. And no, it wasn't that long ago.

Okay as no one seems to have offered a super amount of helpful information to directly help you, allow me. (okay well maybe people have but maybe this is easier to read/understand)

The Destroyer and the Twins I would put on roughly the same level IF you control how you fight them. Saying that even Skeletron Prime isn't all that if you do the same thing.

---Twins---

The easiest way to fight the twins is to grab yourself a ranged weapon and create a very long pathway up in the air.

Wooden pannels would probably be best because they wont stop your arrows/bullets but I did it with dirt as I just had loads spare (farming that much wood for the pannels would take ages as well). Equip some boots that make you run faster and get yourself some harpy wings (which you can make pre-mechanical boss).

Just run along your pathway trying to dodge their shots. Focus first on the green eye (the melee one) as the red eye is easier to dodge even during it's enrage at low health.

Take pots and plenty of ammo and you should do alright. If you're really having problems you could put camp fires along your route and even heart lanterns but you would require a silly amount of them so it's probably not worth it.

---Destroyer---

They key to the destroyer is the minions he spawns. If you focus purely on him you're gonna have a bad time. Build yourself a large platform arena with camp fires and heart lanterns (and if you're lucky to have found any, wire up some heart or star statues to a timer). During the fight just move in a big circle in your arena and you should be able to avoid a lot of the attacks.

You'll want to use weapons that penetrate through monsters (rather than things like the fire flower where it's projectile vanishes after one hit) because, as you know, you can score multiple hits on the destroyer. It's also worth taking something heavy hitting but accurate as the main tactic here is to focus on the adds he spawns as they have a 1/3 chance to drop a heart. So if you're really in trouble you'll need something that can score you an add kill for a heart if you really need it.

Keep killing them and get damage on the boss between adds. You can obviously attack the boss when there are adds up (as they will be up basically all the time) but try not to let them build up. Those hearts they drop will let you last the fight.

---Skeletron Prime---

I found that the bridge built for the twins also doubles as a good place to fight SP. So the tactics are basically the same as the twins in this case really.

Just run along and keep shooting back at him. He doesn't have a super ton of health so you could focus his head but I wouldn't worry about any damage going to his arms instead as killing those just makes it even easier.

---

Just make sure you make some buff potions to help out on your first kills of these bosses as they're easy to make and you need all the help you can get really.

Bonus tip - If you make your bridge long enough you can use it as a faster way to get to the sea in your world for sea related activities. You can also make holes in it over certain locations (such as the jungle or dungeon) to allow quicker/easier access to those too.

Hope this helps.

I have it on speed search, I pretty much use it for everything.

I have beaten the twins just running up my floating island bridge, shootin at them, killed them, with 1 mechanical boss down truffle sold me the mushroom spear, now the destroyer is a joke for me, Mushroom spear OP

my advice is build a rather large arena for manuverability and fight skeletron prime first. The golden shower works well on him and you can use it to keep his def down the entire battle. Then just kite around so he cant hit you, while shooting him with your weapon of choice. Grind him a few times to get souls and hallowed bars in order to make new armor and weapons. Ive done it this way every time. works well. Hope this helps!

also use the golden shower it lowers the defence of what is shot.

this really helps to take down tough bosses, especially if you have a rapid fire weapon as every shot is increased.

it requires ichor though so you need to have a crimson world, or make an alternate world that is crimson.

I just made this trade, 1 cursed flame = 1 ichor
