One of the more interesting alternatives at hand on Blood Moon nights is the possibility of catching foes instead of aquatic treasures while fishing in Terraria. Leading to one of the best enemies you can catch: the Wandering Eye Fish. Pretty powerful enemy if you're not ready. But don't you worry, fellow Terrarians! This guide equips you with the knowledge and strategies to overcome this bloodthirsty fish.
Unveiling the Wandering Eye Fish
Wandering Eye Fish: True to its name, it looks like a giant bloodshot eyeball with an evil smile. This enemy spawns only on Blood Moon nights in Hardmode, where the only possible depth they could reside in would be reachable by your fishing rod. So, don't go by its comical look; the Wandering Eye Fish has a mean bite and will get the best of players when they least expect it.

Gearing Up for the Hunt
Before casting your line for the Wandering Eye Fish, some crucial preparations are necessary:
- Fishing Power: Maximize your fishing power with a powerful Fishing Rod, such as its Hardmode variants: Reaver Shark or the Blood Moon Fishing Rod, and high-power bait, such as Bloodworms or Master Bait. Higher fishing power hooks the Wandering Eye Fish.
- Armor and Accessories: Look for high-defense armor, especially from piercing damage. A pair of warding accessories will be of great value and will help you increase your defense. You could even throw an Obsidian Shield in there for some extra power while blocking.
- Weapons: Bows like the Daedalus Stormbow with Holy Arrows, or a potent multi-projectile weapon, such as the Sharknado Staff.
- Healing and Potcions: Buy plenty of Healing Potions. Try to use buffs and Regen Potions to increase your survivability.
Hook, Line, and Sinker: Strategies for Battling the Wandering Eye Fish
Once you have that ready, on a night with a blood moon, use the line and cast it down into the depths. Here's how to defeat the Wandering Eye Fish.
- Platform: Form an area of the platform above the water level, such that the player is mobile in dodging the attacks of the Wandering Eye Fish more easily.
- Stay away: Wandering Eye Fish tends to use the charging attack mostly. Stay away from it and preferably try to range-damage the Wandering Eye Fish from a distance for the kill.
- Be on the lookout for Lass. The Wandering Eye Fish shoots lasers out of its eye. Stay mobile and utilize your platform arena to jump and dodge the attack.
- Minions First: The Wandering Eye Fish will occasionally spawn smaller Eye Minions. Make clearing these your priority, as they can do quite a bit of damage if left unchecked.
- Use Potions: Don't be shy to use your Healing Potions in conjunction with Buff potions as the fight goes on. Incur the damage and inconvenience of not dealing with damage all the time but rather concentrating on staying alive most.
By following these strategies and maintaining focus, you'll reel in victory against the Wandering Eye Fish.
While technically possible, it's much harder. A strong Fishing Rod with good bait significantly increases your chances of hooking the Wandering Eye Fish.
Melee weapons can work, but staying close to the Wandering Eye Fish increases your risk of taking damage. If melee is your only option, prioritize dodging and use high-damage weapons like the Vampire Knives.
There are a few platforming exploits that can "trap" the Wandering Eye Fish, but these might take away from the satisfaction of a proper fight. Master those core strategies.
Always try to focus on the minions first, and take them down before the hero. Area-of-effect weapons, such as a Sharknado Staff or Flamethrower, are great at taking care of a bunch of these pesky critters. Be mindful of these enemies with good movement and evade their attacks.
Conclusion
A very satisfying victory in Terraria, defeating the Wandering Eye Fish comes where you put to test both your fighting capabilities and resourcefulness. Get ready, as you make a bloody fight with your cunning tactics and a splash of courage, hook this opponent to emerge a triumph.
