Nah duke is piss easy, when one got used to dodge pattern then even legendary difficulty duke poses no serious threat. Player just have to get used to it. That being said, I am so guilty cause I always go for duke first in hard mode making the rest of the game like a walk in the park

[@outspade]

Here’s a funky tip for Fishron Phase 3 (Expert+ exclusive) In this phase, Fishron will dash and then teleport. The pattern goes as follows: Dash once, teleport, Dash twice, teleport, Dash three times, teleport, repeat. It’s an easy pattern to follow in the fight, and alone this will help you dodge it. But let’s pair this with the Shield of Cthulhu - an accessory obtained as early as the first or second boss which has utility up until Plantera’s defeat… Or perhaps further. You see, if you dash into Fishron at the right time, you can bonk him. When you bonk, you get a few s, and if you time it right you can let Fishron consistently pass right through you without dealing any damage (while dealing slightly extra of your own.) You can easily take out Phase 3 this way while barely needing to move at all! You’ll just need to get the timing down. As for Phases 1 and 2, run. And good luck! ^^

[@glassofwater281]

Parrying with the shield is how I finally beat him pre mech mm ftw

[@SkillfulCurve]

omg thank you!!!! phase 1 and 2 are very easy for me so this tip is very helpful!!

[@immunecell5943]

oh and i know this it late, but he will always teleport to the opposite side of where he began the teleport from you, for example, if he teleports from your left he teleports to the right and vice versa, with this is mind and knowing the pattern you can at all times predict exactly where he is going to be

[@seroclas]

i used the shield to do this too, thats why the eye of Cthulhu shield is my favorite accessory in the game and i carried it till moon lord

For the longest time, I didn't even know you could fight Fishron that early! That's honestly pretty cool. I think it's fine to have items like the Tsunami that break progression a bit because of the work you have to put into it. Greater challenge for a greater reward.

[@carterbergen2715]

The tsunami is one of my favourite bows, but not my number one. My top choice of bow in all of terraria is the aerial bane, which is the bow that drops from Betsy. It is pretty much the only reason I do Old one’s army in any playthroughs. The damage output of the aerial bane is really impressive. You shoot 5 arrows, and upon hitting an enemy each arrow splits into another five, dealing an insane amount of damage even to single targets. Plus, the aerial bane converts other arrows into these special arrows, so you can use it at full effectiveness with just an endless quiver, which is obviously very convenient

[@ImreallyKyle]

Same

[@skyral4137]

Also if you use a arrow with higher base damage like cursed arrows, the special arrows will actually increase its damage.

[@beez1717]

Looks like I'm off to defeat Duke Fisheron now that I've just made it to hard mode in my Thorium mod playthrough and I have the champion wings. I also have the Eye of the Storm meaning I can deal extra damage while in battle with bouncing energy that homes in on enemies. The best part is it's an accessory. Using the bloody wand would make the fight far easier because it gives the bloody debuff which increases the damage further blood bolts deal by 15% per bolt, up to a maximum of 75%, and it fires 5 in each volley. It's an OP weapon that shreds enemies like a mid-late hard mode weapon but can be obtained in pre-hard mode.

[@ImmortalLemon]

A few times what I’ll do is when I’m bored during the early hardmode, I will fight the Duke until I win and whatever weapon he drops will be the class I choose for the rest of the game, regardless of if I decide to use a different weapon later. That’s the class I will use

HUGE DPS TIP, all dps matters for this unfair fight.

If you know what you're doing and make sure to consistently destroy ground mushrooms, Truffle worms are REALLY easy to get, especially with the new large biomes. That's probably why you got so many honestly, the biomes are really big and the worms didn't really have their spawnrates reduced when the biomes got bigger. They were honestly really easy for me to get them when I played on 1.3 on console a while ago, since I enlarged a mush biome.

I defeated duke pre-planterra in my mastermode world because I wanted to prove to myself that I could, and also I wanted that juicy typhoon. Yeah that was after its nerf, but I liked the idea of having a more powerful homing weapon than the united shield, and since I wanted to have the most fun and have a mixed build (it was my first time playing past WoF, wanted to have fun with the stormbow, the piss book, chlorophite bullets which helped for EoL daytime and moonlord, and of course always holding a summon), it made sense to grab one for extra dps on planterra.

[@gassug2]

for anyone who wants to attempt to get tsunami premech as ranger, here's the loadout i used: armor: crystal assassin armor. no contest. the dash is far better than SoC and doesn't have the knockback. it also provides a relatively decent 36 defense in total. it's also not locked behind expert mode to boot. weapon: daedalus stormbow. i'm surprised he didn't mention this weapon when going over weapons to use for premech duke. combined with ichor arrows, it deals roughly 1000 dps and can kill duke in 2-3 minutes. reforge to unreal for best results, but deadly, demonic, godly, etc are all good as well. cursed arrows are also a good substitute. holy arrows don't perform too well since a majority of the stars will miss duke because of his fast movement accessories: decent pair of wings (i usually go for fairy wings), amphibian boots, magic quiver, ranger emblem, cross necklace, and brain of confusion. if you're on normal mode, you can sub the brain for another quiver. if you play corruption, worm scarf is fine. if you're on master, you can also throw in a summoner emblem or pygmy necklace and use sanguine staff for passive damage. reforge all accessories to menacing. if you feel really uncomfortable, you can go all warding as well, just know that your weapons will perform worse. buffs: at the very least you want archery and wrath/rage (preferably both if you're willing to world hop/make an artificial corruption/crimson), as well as tier 3 well fed (seafood dinner, burger, apple pie, etc). ironskin, regen, endurance, lifeforce, etc, are all good too. extras: a decent hook (mimic hook), and the queen slime mount like he said. it's possible without the queen slime mount but phase 3 might be harder if you're on expert or master. armor-weapon combos for other classes would be: titanium and ice sickle for melee, adamantite and spirit flame for mage (crystal serpent works too, but is worse), obsidian and firecracker+snapthorn with sanguine staff for summoner. adjust accessories accordingly a basic arena with 3 or 4 platforms covering all or most of the ocean is good enough. you can add heart lanterns, campfires, and honey puddles as well if you'd like, just keep in mind that honey may slow your movement a bit, which is a big deal given how fast fishron is.

[@yehwat527]

Fishron being one of the hardest to beat, and the loot being random at times, and the bait being a pain in my f*****g ass.

don't use the queen slime mount or any other weird items.

I usually fight duke pre-plantera because its very useful to have stuff like the tempest staff, razorblade typhoon, tsunami, or fishron wings Pre-Plantera

Honestly, I preferred when I did him fairly early in the progression, I don’t think I would have been able to get my hands on the terragrim if not for the razor blade typhoon allowing me to focus on dodging the instant kill attacks while I aim in the general direction of the boss.

great video, I'd just say that the shadowflame nife isnt great for this as I just fought duke fishron with it. It'll get the job done but it takes a LONG time. If you're in master mode I suggest grinding for an uzi or just progressing normally
