Visual charm can easily be a coined term of choice to describe Terraria. Terraria is the 2D sandbox game everyone simply loves to play. This beloved game combines Minecraft-esque crafting with action battling, making it a gaܫme that gamers come back to year after year, since its release in 2011.
Within this game are rich, expansive biomes, plentiful mechanics and iteꦉms, 🦩as well as challenging and difficult bosses that can put up quite a fight. Below, you can find every boss in Terraria ranked in terms of difficulty.
Updated January 24, 2023 by Jacqueline Zalace: We've added every boss in Terraria to this list, so you can see a complete ranking of everyone that you can face.
17 Slime Kiꦏng
Appearance Conditions:
- Use the Slime Crown
- Defeat 150 Slimes in Slime Rain Event
First up, we have th🅺e Slime King. As the name implies, this is a giant slime that has a huge round on top. As a Pre-Hardmode boss, the Slime King is the easiest boss to face.
So easy, in fact, that fighting him is completely🐈 optional. The Slim🌠e King has a base HP of just 2000, which is considerably smaller than other bosses on our list.
The Slime King has a Hard🌳mode counterpart, called the Queen Slime. Like thℱe King, fighting her is completely optional. She is also quite easy to defeat, especially with a ranged weapon.
16 🎃 Eye of Cthulhu
Appearance Conditions:
- Summoned with Suspicious Looking Eye
- 33 percent chance to spawn if you have at least four NPCs and at least 200 HP
The Eye of Cthulhu is one of the first bosses that many players encounter, due to how easily it ca🌠n spawn. The eyeball will float around yo💫ur location, dashing through buildings and firing smaller eyeballs toward you.
Fortunately, the Eye of Cthulhu is slow, allowing you to outrun most of its attacks. Additionally, it's easy to kite this boss around and shoot it with a few arrows every once in a while.
15 Eater of Worlds ☂
Appearance Conditions:
- Destroy 3 Shadow Orbs in the Corruption
- Use Worm Food within the Corruption
Next up, we have the Eater of Worlds. Although this name sounds frightening, the Eater of Worlds is really just a giant worm that you ca🗹n easily attack.
The Eater of Worlds is made up of segments that you need to attack as it zooms by. With a melee weapon that has a slower swing, you can damage multiple sections of this boss at a time. As the worm is moving past your swingiജng sword, each segment will takꦬe damage as it passes the blade.
14 🌳 Brain of Cthulhu

Appearance Conditions:
- Destroy 3 Crimson Hearts in the Crimson
- Use a Bloody Spine within the Crimson
The Brain of Cthulhu is the Crimson counterpart to the Eater of Worlds, butꦗ it can be a bit more difficult to defeat. This holds true especially if you are playing in Expert mode, as the Brain can infꦚlict random debuffs on you.
These debuffs range from Slow to Bleeding, which can easily kill you if you aren't careful. Overall, both bosses put up a good fight and are around the same, but the Brain of Cthulhu barely takes the cake.
13 Queen Bee
Appearance Conditions:
- Break Larva inside a Bee Hive
- Use Abeemination in the Jungle
While this pre-Hardmode boss is certainly one of the easier bosses, this large insect can bring the sting if you're not prepared. Not only can her bee swarm be a nuisance, but she's also immune to knockback and will inflict poison. These traits can make for a deceptively overwhelming battle if you are underpowered or lack long-range attacks.
On top of this, you may need to navigate sticky honey and𝔍 avoid other bees that spawn. Thankfully, the honey in the hive will naturally provide regeneration.
12 Golem
Appearance Conditions:
- Using the key on the Lihzahrd Altar (Jungle Temple)
- Plantera must already be defeated once
The first Hardmode boss mentioned on this list is Golem. Out ♓of all the Hardmode bosses, he comes in last due to the fact that he doesn’t have a lot goi🍸ng for him in terms of difficulty.
At the time the Golem comes in at the game, he offers no challenge compared to the other bosses. The good thing about 𓂃him, though, is that he is super easy to spawn. Overall, the Golem is weak to bouncing projectiles, has low mobility, and has mediocre damage.
11 💯 Wall of Flesh
Appearance Conditions:
- Drop a Guide Voodoo Doll into Lava within the Underworld
The Wa🀅ll of Flesh is the final and strongest pre-Haꦕrdmode boss. Once it is defeated, the world will then convert to Hardmode. In order to defeat this boss, you will need to attack the eyes or mouth.
Though scary, the Wall of Flesh is not as bad as it seems. For this boss, either you build a bridge and it's not even worthy of a fight, or you don't build a bridge and it's a chaotic nightmare. The bridge will help you move across the Underworld without falling into Lava. While on the bridge, you can turn and shoot the Wall of Flesh, chipping away at its health.
10 Skeletron
Appearance Conditions:
- Speak to the Old Man outside the Dungeon during the Night
Coming in at five is Skeletron, a pre-Hardmode boss. In short, one mistake, and it's all over. Even though he’s not particularly a difficult boss, he is a hard one, and he can end you in seconds if you get stuck in his spin.
To defeat him, it's best to build a big area with multiple platforms. The key to defeating this difficult boss? Off with his head! First, you have to destroy the hands. The platforms come in handy here because the hands require a lot of jumping techniques. But once you do destroy the hands, the head can come off next.
9 🍌 The Destroyer 🤡
Appearance Conditions:
- Use a Mechanical Worm at Night
- 10 percent chance to spawn at Night once a Demon/Crimson Altar has been destroyed
The Destroyer, a Hardmode mechanical boss, is a giant worm. It’s made up of individꦉual segments that al﷽l share a single health pool. It can take increased damage from attacks from multiple individual segments all at once. This is similar to the Eater of Worlds, but more difficult.
Each of The Destroyer's segments contains a red-lit Probe, an independent flying mini-boss that is launched as the boss takes damage. Probes can be killed individually once they are detached, and fortunately, they won’t return to The Destroyer. They fire lasers both attached and detached.
All in all, its probes are endless. Not only that, but The Destroyer can output massive damage if you make a mistake while fighting it. As long as you use the storm boy and holy arrows, they can be defeated✤ without a sweat.
8 Skeletron Pri✱me
Appearance Conditions:
- Use a Mechanical Skull at Night
- 10 percent chance to spawn at Night once a Demon/Crimson Altar has been destroyed
This boss is a more difficult version of Skeletron. In general, he's not easy and he's not hard; he is mostly just there. Skeletron Prime consists of a head and four attached limbs, and like Skeletron, only the head needs to be defeated in order to conquer Skeletron Prime.
If he is not defeated by dawn, he will cease to use his limbs at all, and charge at the player at almost unbearably high sp🐼eeds. All you can do is hit Skeletron Prime very hard until he 🌱dies, and then you’re good to go.
