Moon Lord Cannot Be Captured

Moon Lord

The Moon Lord is a Special Raid Boss that cannot be captured and is only meant to be defeated.

As the final boss of Terraria, Moon Lord lives up to its name and can only be damaged in a unique way compared to previous Raid Bosses.

All Post Game Raid Bosses

Moon Lord Has No Elemental Type

The Moon Lord has no elemental type, so the Raid Boss has no specific type advantages or weaknesses. Players can use any of their strongest Pals to beat it effectively.

Note that the Summoning Altar can only be used once, so have the materials ready in a chest nearby.

Xenolord is the best Pal to ride as it has skills that can target its eyes and heart, and you can use your weapons while riding it. Alternatively, you can ride any good Flying Pal that can tank and deal damage with you.

However, we do not recommend using Jetragon, as its skills cannot target its eyes on the hands.

Best Pals to Have in Your Base

Palworld - Orserk Orserk Palworld - Bastigor Bastigor Palworld - Azurmane Azurmane
Palworld - Suzaku Suzaku Palworld - Suzaku Aqua Suzaku Aqua Palworld - Jetragon Jetragon

As the Moon Lord does not have an Elemental Type, any Pal works well against the Raid Boss as long as they have good tankiness and damage.

However, we recommend taking Pals that have Ranged Skills as the only way to damage Moon Lord is through its eyes and heart.

The Hexolite Helmet and Lightweight Hexolite Armor are some of the best equipment items to use when fighting against the Moon Lord. They provide excellent tankiness that works well with the Ultra Shield.

The Triple Jump Boots can also be quite helpful as an accessory in the fight to avoid damage against Moon Lord's AoE attacks.

Palworld - Plasma Cartridge Weapon Plasma Cartridge Palworld - Laser Gatling Cartridge Weapon Laser Gatling Cartridge Palworld - Energy Shotgun Ammo Weapon Energy Shotgun Ammo Palworld - Advanced Arrow Weapon Advanced Arrow

The best weapon to equip against the Moon Lord is the Plasma Cannon, as it can consistently deal significant damage against the eyes and its heart. Ensure to attack the eyes when open and aim for them directly.

Alternatively, we recommend using ranged weapons to deal with its unique eye mechanic. The Laser Gatling Gun and Advanced Bow can be consistent with their damage, whereas the Energy Shotgun can be used while mounted on a Flying Pal.

General Raid Tips

Attack the Three Eyes

Attack the Eye

To damage the Moon Lord, players must attack the eyes in its head and hands. These eyes will have separate health bars and can only be brought to 1 HP. Once all three are defeated, its heart will open, and you can damage it.

Three True Eyes of Cthulhu Will Attack You

True Eye

Once defeated, an eye will spawn as a True Eye of Cthulhu and attack you and your Pals. It cannot be damaged, so avoid its attacks while continuing to do damage against the Moon Lord.

Defeat It Through the Heart

Attack the Heart

You must attack the Moon Lord's Heart upon finishing all three eyes. You can fully deplete its HP through the heart, so defeat the Moon Lord by attacking this continuously.

You Cannot Catch the Raid Boss

The Moon Lord is exclusively a Terraria Crossover Raid Boss and cannot be captured as a Pal. You may only defeat it to drop rewards, like the Moon Lord Mask and Legendary Meowmere.

Fight Moon Lord in an Empty Base

We recommend engaging with the Moon Lord in an empty base. The Moon Lord will have multiple AoE attacks, so all your built structures will take damage. Build the Summoning Altar in a base that doesn't have numerous structures.

Build a Base Dedicated to Raids

Palworld - Raid Base
Alternatively, building a Base specifically for Raids will be very useful so you don't destroy your or other people's Bases that took an investment in the building.

Find an area with structures you can hide behind to heal or reload your weapons, like the Desolate Churches.

Palworld Interactive Map

Summoning Altars Can Only be Used Once

Summoning Altars can only be used once, which makes it a chore, especially if you have a base dedicated to it. A trick you can do is build storage as close as possible to the Pal Box so you don't have to lug around so many materials!

Use Technology Built for Combat

Palworld - Base Build

After deciding where to put your base, you can then place structures like the Mounted Machine Guns and Missile Launchers so your weaker Pals can contribute without immediately succumbing to the Raid Boss' onslaught.

Play With Friends

Another way to make the Raid easier is to join in on other people within your server. This raid is no easy feat, and having friends will make it easier.
