What is the number of bosses in Terraria?

There are ten hardmode monsters and seven ordinary bosses in Terraria to summon and defeat. You can defeat them all by following the guidelines below to find the bouts, some of which are optional.

What is the Terraria boss order?If you know how to summon them, you can theoretically battle the majority of Terraria's bosses in whichever order you want. Naturally, if you want to fight the mode's unique bosses, you must first enter hardmode. You may see the list below to see our suggested order.

Which Terrarian boss is the strongest?

The formidable Moon Lord and Duke Fishron are without a doubt Terraria's most formidable bosses. Even with his relatively limited health pool, the latter puts up just as difficult a battle as the former, who is officially Terraria's penultimate hardmode monster.

Every regular Terraria boss, ranked from easy to toughest, along with the boss drops

King Slime

Using a Slime Crown or beating 150 micro slimes during a slime storm—a sporadic in-game occurrence when slimes drop from the sky—you may call forth this big ol' slime. King Slime is an easy initial boss since he is kind of a pushover.

Another hideous Terraria boss, huh? This one has a gaping, toothy mouth and a vicious brain. Simply put, no.

The DestroyerThe Destroyer is a bit of a pushover in spite of its ominous moniker. Despite its fearsome appearance, this mechanical giant is really rather easy to knock down.

Empress of LightWe're glad Empress of Light is fully optional since she's one of the hardest bosses in hardmode, particularly during daytime battles.
