Terraria has 33 bosses in total: 8 pre-Hardmode, 10 Hardmode, 14 event bosses, and 1 secret seed boss. The general progression leads you from early fights (Eye of Cthulhu, King Slime, Eater/Brain, Skeletron, Queen Bee) to the Wall of Flesh (which starts Hardmode) and then to the Mechanical bosses, Plantera, Golem, Lunatic Cultist, the Lunar Pillars and finally the Moon Lord. Optional late bosses include Duke Fishron and Empress of Light. For the complete list, see the official boss list. (terraria.wiki.gg)
Successful boss fights combine preparation, counters, and adaptation — build an arena, bring mobility, healing, and buffs, and target weak points. Practical tips: - Build long platforms and campfires/healing heart statues for extended fights. - Use mobility accessories (Wings, Hook, Hermes) and terrain to dodge. - Tailor weapons: piercing/rapid-fire for worms (Eater/Destroyer), high single-target DPS for bosses with parts (Moon Lord: destroy hands/eyes first). - Bring potions (Ironskin, Regeneration, Swiftness, Endurance) and food buffs. - For Wall of Flesh, make a long bridge and attack while moving; for Mechanical bosses, fight them separately or use multi-target setups. See detailed boss strategies and per-boss guides for loadout and arena examples. (terraria.fandom.com)
