EMPRESS OF LIGHT DAY GUIDE FOR SUMMONERS! Terraria Expert Empress of Light Boss guide! Terraprisma!

Note: as of december 2022, Empress of Light will bypass any dodge abilities during the day, making the Hallow set, Master Ninja Gear's dodge, etc. useless.

Step on to beat eol daytime 1. dont play summoner or dont go true summoner

Hey Zuzu, what accessories can you recommend for summoner late game?

I spent 55 attempts with the Sanguine Staff while the literal next boss on my list was lunatic cultists, after 55 attempts I just destroyed the cultists beat up the stardust pillar and beat day time empress second try with the Stardust Dragon, I was playing on hard mode with the Sanguine Staff for literally zero reason :(

why are you using regin and def potians

Does the desert tiger work Zuzucorn??

Terrasteels guide is better

what wihp do you use

I'd use my Terra blade instead of a whip cuz yeah

Just use the broom mount for mobile players

Zuzu can you make a Calamity or Latest vanilla ver progression guide please?

A good setup is also: Remove soaring insignia and wings, replace with witch's broom mount. Remove MNG and Brain of Confusion (dodging doesn't work anymore). In lieu of these accessories, your accessories should be pygmy necklace, papyrus scarab, necromantic scroll, sorcerer emblem, and hercules beetle. Wear Tiki armor, use kaleidoscope, and sanguine staff as weapons.

for anyone still trying this today as a summoner post plantera, i recommend tiki armour, for the extra whip range, instead of the hallow set as it doesnt work anymore in recent updates, also you dont have to do this but i found more succeful runs by building a 1400 block long asphalt road for better speed, note that you want this road to be relatively low too the ground so you have space for flying, also when you spawn the empress, its best to spawn her in the center of the 1400 blocks, and moving towards the right, this makes it so you will be generally on the left of the empress when she does here dodge ability which i realised makes the sun dance alot easier to dodge and even take advantage of, and even for the ethereal lances

edit: i recommend changing the brain of cthulu with lightning boots

You used an iron skin and a regen potion for this fight.

I used my brother as bait 😂😂

But I already defeated her and she wouldn't give me the sword Why?

I did it in like 10 attempts on mobile expert mode with journey and since you cant use dodges i used all damage buff such as spooky armour with zeno staff and many other summoner damaging accessories and a witchs broom

I recommend that whip empress gives when u beat her normally

any invincibility glitch already works?

ty zuzu I finally did it..

For people who are watching this now keep in mind that dodge related things no longer work on the empress. So no ninja gear/hallowed armor

Can i do this on journey mode? i just started playing terraria

But what if I want to play ranger?

how to kill the empress of light:

Step 1: learn the attack pattern
Step 2: kill the empress of light

Legit empress of light somehow stronger than moonlord bruh, battled moonlord in beetle gear and potions and just a terrablade with daybreak he barely damaged me BUT THEN WHEN I TRIED EMPRESS OF LIGHT I GOT 2 SHOT DAYUM!!! solar armor looks like a joke to empress of light even though its an endgame armor

bro how

If the hollowed armour lets u dodge a hit after being hit but every hit one shots you then how is it useful? Because the first shot would kill you then you wouldn’t get a chance to dodge the second bc the first one would’ve killed you

I forgot that buff about the holy armor. I prefer the stardust as it gives me the sentry and a boost in minion summons but as this battle is about not taking hits, I'll need to build a new arena for her and get the endless flight from her before this.
Using a game file from 2018 so yeah not in journey mode

Since she one shots during the day anyway I’m assuming defense isn’t worth crap so I have my stardust cells and legendary morning star with my spooky armor and ufo mount and all menacing summoner accessories. Just gotta master the patterns. As for now, it feels I’m never gonna beat it.

Edit: Got me my terraprisma now :). Just wish it co dropped the kaleidoscope.

Edit: Next terraria day only had one lacewing from the night and got my kaleidoscope. Unfortunately bad prefix but luckily my golbin spawned back in.

Took about 100 practice runs before I developed a consistent strafe strat.

Well i think i know why people may say you have god mode on, can not see you hearts or anything, dont know if you cheated or not but it does look odd. I had not trouble with this boss fight, but i did not do it till after moon lord.

Can I use the celestial starboard? I've already beaten moon lord but really want the terraprisma

I would recommend betsy wings more as its almost just as hard to get but much better with the abilities including hover,fly faster and better acceleration

Im loving terraria and have over 600h playtime but this boss just sucks balls. The hustle of farming the butterflies paired with the timed window and the insane and unforgiveable bossfight ist just pure frustration. They did such a good job on the entire game but this is just bullshit.

The hardest boss for the hardest class, yes.

you have the most uncanny luck with your protection buffs

I recommend having necromantic scroll instead of summoner emblem(better in every way when you think about it)

him: explaining what my gear should be
me who is on my way to just get best gear for every class: zenith

I farmed empress of light day time with zenith its too easy with zenith

I got terraprisma first try because I fought her in night and it turned to day

So... I have to do that on mobile ey?

can i use the zenith

Is this even possible after December 2022? I tried it and the best I can do is get her to 30k hp but then it gets really overwhelming

I got the empress (day) down to 1/3 health on my first try now after 80 tries I can barely scratch half way 😭 also I didn't even realize she dropped something different

After almost 10 tries I feel like I havent been saved by the dodges even once. Also most of the deaths were unfair, like her teleporting literally onto me or the attacks not visually matching the game on the big circular one, but I’ll get the hang of it

What do you think this is dark souls😂

POV you have the zenith already:😌

You could also use high dodge rate

I killed empress just using starlight stuff and setting down asphalt roads. Just used Zenith and rainbow crystals as well. Took a couple of tries but my sentries killed it while I was dead!
