Bathing in Prismatic Fury

The Empress of Light is a brilliant opponent and acts as a great representation of the luminosity of the Hallow biome. Here's how to get ready for her arrival.

• Prerequisites:
• Defeat the Plantera, the Hardmode boss residing within the Underground Jungle. Able to defeat Plantera; it's a significant part, as beating Plantera will allow the players to craft the key for summoning the Empress.
• Gear Up: As always, with any endgame boss, make sure to be well equipped from the most powerful Hardmode armor down to the armaments and accessories. Most importantly, defense and mobility should be emphasized in facing the relentless Empress onslaught.

• Summoning the Empress:
• You may try to find some Prismatic Lacewing Butterflies. It flits through Hallow biomes at night, and the Prismatic Lacewing Butterfly can prove to be quite elusive to a player.
• Kill a Prismatic Lacewing. This activity incites the Empress of Light to come, so get ready for a bright fight!

• Combat Tips:
• Prepare for aerial warfare. The Empress will be fighting from the sky, raining attacks at you, and teleporting very often. Try and be mobile, and you can use the platforms at the edge of your wings.
• Excel with ranged weapons. With the Empress, however, most of the time airborne, prime with ranged weapons should be those that have good precision and piercing abilities.
• Welcome light, welcome darkness, welcome both. During the battle, the Empress will take on her Light Form and then transition over to her Dark Form. Make sure you adjust your strategy; certain types of hits could be effective against some of her attacks.

Queen Slime: Gelatinous Grandeur

The Queen Slime offers a gelatinous twist on the classic King Slime encounter. Here's how to face this bouncier boss:

• Prerequisites:
• World Requirements: Your world needs to be in Hardmode for the Queen Slime to have a chance of spawning.

• Summoning the Queen Slime:
• Gelatinous Projectiles: If the Empress has an extraordinary method to summon, the Queen Slime does not. Instead, it has a chance to spawn in place of a regular Slime when any are killed on a Crimson or Corruption world while in Hardmode. The chance increases slightly during a Slime Rain.

• Combat Tips:
• Don't let the name fool you; while the Queen Slime might sound more like a mischief-maker than anything else, defeating this boss can easily overpower an unprepared group.
• This is where AoE (Area of Effect) weapons shine. That's what the Queen Slime keeps doing: summoning a bunch of smaller slimes during the entire fight. This is where the AoE weapon makes its entry: these ads can be easily and effectively cut down, and your focus should remain constant on the queen herself.
• Prioritize mobility; use bouncing attack patterns. The Queen is a bouncing enemy, and her attacks can be simply dodged by jumping over them. Use platforms, grappling hooks, or dash mechanics to get some room.
