    There are three things that keep me attached to this boss:

    - The battle theme
    - The fact that Deerclops himself has no contact damage hitbox.
    Last part really changed my thinking around the boss, and made me love the Magiluminescence, actually preferring it instead of Shield of C'thulhu, since it serves the same purpose, but in a more controllable way.

    Houndius Shootius is enormously underrated, IMHO. As the earliest sentry weapon you can get without doing OOA, it makes Goblin Invasions and Blood Moons a fair bit easier to deal with. And it's a free extra sentry in OOA, which makes a difference in the first tier.

      Edit: I's wrong as I forgot about the change that made OOA required to freely Tavern Keeper sentries.
      If you find the Tavern Keeper pre hardmode then you can get a free sentry from him with the 5 starting medals he gives you from clicking on the Eternia Crystal dialog option.
      This makes OOA not required for beginner sentry weapon.
      So no the earliest sentry weapon you get is tied with the Tavern Keeper(Both require 1 boss to be defeated to be obtained).

    Deerclops is a vibe check; one that catches you off guard. But I'll say this that the Weather Pain is an underrated magic weapon. It's worth cheesing Deerclops for, especially since he doesn't despawn if he spawned naturally. If you're on expert too, the Bone Helm is extremely worth for early farming too.
    Kind of hoping the next collabe boss we get is a hardmode boss.

    Deerclops is a really interesting boss since it's the only boss that doesn't despawn if you die (I think his timer is 24 minutes). Also the Bone Helm is really good for Wall of Flesh, combines with the Bone Glove it helps a lot to keep the hungry tentacles out of the way to deal damage to the main eyes and mouth.

    I feel like his drops are being undersold slightly.
    ~ The bone helm is great for farming setups or for while you're building since it fills the role of an extra summon in taking things out automatically, and even in general encounters out in the wild, while it may not be ideal for bosses unless they've got lots of low health adds, it's great for knocking back enemies or reducing pressure by killing things you're not focussing on. Seriously it's 10/10 in zenith seed if you can somehow manage to get your hands on it.
    ~ Houndius Shootius has the best damage to fire rate ratio of the prehardmode sentries, and its projectile is fast to boot. As a summoner doing prehardmode content it's THE best sentry to use unless you've got a mob trap/farm going, in which case the explosive trap is probably the most reliable competitor, but any prehardmode summoner using the early game +1 sentry accessory should be going for this sentry.
    ~ The Weather Pain is one of very few homing perhardmode magic spells and furthermore is capable of hitting multiple times, making it great for more mobile engagements. With its fast movement and ability to hit enemies like 14 times, It's easiest to think of it as a prehadmode variant of the razorblade typhoon, and its armour penetration certainly doesn't hurt.

    I rarely fight deerclops since in early prehardmode his slow effect and high damage are annoying to deal with (alongside trying to stay in his “bubble” to prevent invulnerability). When I finally do get enough defence / warmth potions to tank them, all their drops minus the eye bone are irrelevant (even so, I like having different pets per character).
    I think the main difference between deerclops and other optional bosses is that the other boss drops have long lasting effects on your run (king slime give you a great mount for dodging and an entire tileset, queen bee gives access to witch doctor, good summon gear, and flasks, and queen slime gives the most consistent summon weapon, a unique hook, a town slime, and another great dodging mount) while deerclops’ drops are almost instantly obsolete (Lucy is worse than axe of regrowth, houndius is worse than OOA sentries, and the other weapons and accessories are just flat-out bad).

  • @Decayed.Jester

    A recommendation to an arena for Deerclops. Don't put platforms AT ALL. Being on a platform above him causes the ice chunk attack which is much harder to dodge than his normal swipes. Stick close to him, using a double jump and/or spectre boots to keep above his swipes and you can no-hit him pretty easily. Chester is worth it, and the bone helm is actually pretty nice in a fishing loadout to keep the smaller baddies at bay.

    You can try to fight him as soon as you start a new playthrough because of his unique despawn mechanic. Instead of disappearing when every player is killed, he despawns once a full in-game day has passed since his spawning. I was playing with a friend when we got surprised by Deerclops, and we kept fighting and dying, but we managed to kill him, making him the first boss we defeated on that playthrough. Also I was a summoner in that playthrough, both the sentry and the skull accessory carried me until skeletron.

    honestly knowing his attack pattern (2 ice attacks away from itself, 1 ice attack towards itself) you can easily stay within range of it while also dodge its attacks and not get into ranges where it does its other attacks (hands spawn and rubble attack)
    just gotta run under it through its legs (they have no hitbox so you don't take damage when running through it) to bait the attack to where you were, repeat running under him and on 3rd run under him run further away and from this point

    @TheTretex Před 9 měsíci

    It's worth noting that while deerclop does have the most HP of any boss in pre-hardmode, he doesn't despawn upon the player dying and as daunting as his attacks can be; most of his harder to dodge attacks he only use when you aren't in close proximity to him. You can effectively keep fighting him indefinitely even if you are dying to whittle down his health, and if you learn to dodge his attack close range attacks then he can go from post-skeletron to just post-evil boss or even post-EOC if you are good enough. Having his drops that much earlier on make them that much better to go for, and aside from Lucy which is better as a tool than a melee he offers great weapons for each class. Deerskull is a decent filler accessory at that point too if you prefer something more offensive, otherwise it's good in a fishing or building loadout.

    I just don’t spend enough time in the snow biome for it to spawn normally, and flinxes are a pain to hunt for

    You can actually fight deerclops before any of the other bosses, as you can use bombs to acquire the evil ores from naturally spawning veins.

    I tried beating deerclops as my first boss in a mage playthrough, and it was very easy, but the weapons are just terrible, they NEED a buff

  • @Caleb-kf9wp
    @Caleb-kf9wp Před 9 měsíci +1

    Deerclops will always do the Icicle attack if you stay close to him. That attack is really easy to dodge because all you have to do is jump. It also means that you don't have to worry about being too far away and him going invincible.

  • @draw2death421
    @draw2death421 Před 7 měsíci

    Few corrections!
    Technicly the only required pre hardmode boss is wall of flesh. You could beat the while game without ever fighting the eye, the slime, skeletron, Brain or worm.
    Also Sphinxs arent that rare to spawn acxually. The thing is they can only spawn on slush blocks (mayby Ore too? Could be a rumor).
    So just by making a line of lets say 300 Slush you should see sphinxes.

  • @ShareraTheShork
    @ShareraTheShork Před 9 měsíci

    What i would do as a rework for the bonehelm is simple : Make it so that on hit (on any class) it would summon a shadow hand that would attack for 5 seconds, dealing 50% of the weapons damage (aka, if a weapon dealt 6 damage, the shadow hands would do 3)

  • @matthiasbarish1296
    @matthiasbarish1296 Před 9 měsíci

    Some changes to Deerclop’s drops to make them functional at the time you get them:
    Lucy the Axe: Give it some goofy Axe of Regrowth-level axe power and faster swing speed. Useful tool, decent weapon.
    Pew-matic Horn: give it a damage buff, firing speed buff, Crit buff, all the buffs. Good lord, the damage variance on it is so atrocious that it feels unusable even with a full pre-hardmode ranger loadout. If you want to keep the random damage, then at least make most of the damage numbers decent.
    Weather Pain: This one is actually pretty good, not gonna lie. If I HAD to suggest something, I’d say maybe make the projectile larger, but it really doesn’t need it.
    Houndius Shootius: You would think, that as the only Pre-Hardmode sentry that’s not directly tied to the Old One’s Army, the Houndius Shootius would be a good middle-of-the-road sentry: capable of reasonable single-target and multi-target damage. Unfortunately, it’s not that good at either. The low fire rate and lack of piercing hurts it, so give it some extra fire rate (25% extra should do the job) and have the projectile pierce through three enemies and it’s great.
    Bone Helm: Make it scale with damage buffs. That’s it. That’s all it needs. There’s only three accessories that passively attack, and the other two are far and away better, even relative to their level. The Volatile Gelatin is incredibly useful in the Hardmode Dungeon to deal with surprises like Bone Lee, and the Spore Sac hits for 400 damage and poisons. They both are reasonable picks at their level, and the Bone Helm isn’t, because it doesn’t deal enough damage or give enough utility to be worth an accessory slot

  • @DONNY_G1028

    I was once in the snow biome during a blizzard for whatever reason, and then Deerclops spawned, I had no means to kill it as I was on a multiplayer world, mastermode, I was inevitably killed, then I wanted to go back and find my gold, but it kept killing me and my friends over and over again, we hadn't even defeated eater of worlds yet.

  • @Perfection-given-form
    @Perfection-given-form Před 9 měsíci +1

    I always fight Deerclops in my playthroughs, like, literally every time, I don’t even know why I do because I never use any of his items except sometimes the bone helm (if anybody is wondering I fight him either in between EOW/BOC and Skeletron or Skeletron and WOF)

    I think that the bone helm (and other accessories that auto-attack) should benefit from damage buffs, since at least from my testing, the bone helm has a flat damage that can't be increased with armor. I think it should count as either magic or summon damage, and benefit from buffs to those damage types, as well as general damage buffs.

    • @VeryRGOTI

    The funny thing is the "optional" bosses are basically requiredfor summoner. Most Mounts count as summons for damage then queen bee is the only summoner set prehard besides flinx stuff and of course deerclops I believe the accessory with the hands count as a summon damage and of course the sentry summon

    Deerclops is forgotten because:
    1: He’s pretty easy. Unless you’re really bad, you can beat him as soon as you’ve got a Minishark.
    2: His drops are not that good.
    3: His summon is hard to craft.
    4: He isn’t fun to fight.
    That being said, I have little experience fighting him. Maybe he’s better if you grind him.

  • @ammonbergevin5302
    @ammonbergevin5302 Před 9 měsíci +1

    I think that probably the single biggest thing holding deerclops back is how accurate it is to it's home game. It is the only boss in the game that won't despawn unless you leave it alone for SEVEN MINUTES, allowing for you to potentially kill it as early as pre-world evil, so all of its drops have been scaled back, and it's HP is quite large for the rewards you get. If you did something as simple as just, remove the 7 minute despawn time, then you could easily buff all of the weapons he drops, or drop his health and damage down a few pegs. While you could kill him as your first boss with many deaths but overall little difficulty, the fight takes forever, becomes annoying, and leaves a bad taste in your mouth that you'll never want to replicate in any other playthrough. Make him despawn and nerf his health so he's like on tier with, idk queen bee or smth. Pre-skeletron, but gives a good weapon to power you up.
    Also yeah the drops also suck too maybe give them a little love now that you can't cheese him by using a bed?

    Deerclops is fairly easy if you have a balloon and some rocket boots. You can easily jump over the ice smash attack. He will repeat that twice then an ice smash but on both sides and doesnt reach as far. He will repeat that over and over until you go above him or get too far.

    People who seem to have a lot of effort to find Flinx' do not seem aware of their spawn requirements. They basically do not spawn on regular snow-biome blocks like snow and ice, and you can only find them in the cavern layer.
    The absolute best way to consistently and quickly find Flinx' is to drop down to the cavern layer, have the ice biome still be in the background, but near where the regular caverns cross the ice biome caverns. Since Flinx' can spawn on stone, dirt etc, they will start spawning there, and you will have no issue collecting the Flinx Fur.
