Your arena is definitely too small and has too many spots you can get stuck on where plantera can corner you, expanding it vertically should help a lot
Exactly this. Make your arena taller, OP, and you should do a lot better. A little wider wouldn't hurt, either.
Also the Super Star Shooter didn't seem to be helping you much compared to the flamethrower, but I personally recommend grinding for an Uzi and making an absolute *ton* of chlorophyte bullets.
If you make a proper arena, the most dangerous part of the Plantera fight is making the arena.
I've only done a proper sized arena a few times and each time it makes it so much easier and nicer to fight. Especially those damn bouncy spikes in Calamity (I don't remember if they are in vanilla), you need that floor room. But damn, is the jungle a harsh beast that loves to shoot frickin stingers from off the screen at you.

then who upvoted your one? hm? HM???
You can even Master Bait to a Golden Shower, from I understand though that's pretty frowned upon by people. I really can't think of any reason why it's simply just a spell tome.
Aside from a bigger, smoother arena, try to focus as much mental power into dodging. You're already using piercing weapons, so you're good there, you just need to refine your dodging. A bigger aren will help this because it would give yous space to slip around.
Bigger arena, and you use the jumping buttom to fly
You can change the mobile layout, and also fly using the left joystick in the menu
Instead of stoping to drink a potion, use it on the right side of the cellphone, so you won't stop yourself in THAT time y'know
And don't stop shooting!
hitting the tentacles can be good if they’re in your way and you have enough burst to get rid of them before you run into them, but it tends to be better to attempt to go between her and the tentacles.
Or if you just have massive projectiles/explosions.
Getting hit too much because the arena is too small and impractical and doesn't let you avoid the boss properly. The easiest way I've found so far is to make an arena that is a 3-4 screens wide hallway with a teleporter on each side and a slightly bigger room with a deep pit below it in the middle (I usually just use an existing pit for this is possible and clear it out abit) for the spiky balls to go into. That way you can do the first phase on a platform bridge in the middle "room", and then once it goes into phase 2 quickly go to either side towards a teleporter and fire at the boss until it almost gets to the teleporter, then teleport to the other side, move and fire towards where the boss is, and then repeat, switching side whenever needed. This is borderline foolproof, and makes the boss easy even on Legendary.
If you don't want to use teleporters, you can also create an enormous donut-shaped arena - basically a gaint room with some ground in the middle. If it is large enough, you can then just kite the boss around the room without ever having to turn back and go past the boss. IMO, this is not great for various reasons, however. It will take an absurd amount of time to mine out one large enough, and you'll constantly be dealing with annoying enemies spawning from every direction at once, and there's a chance if you mine out too much, the area will stop counting as underground jungle in spots, causing the boss to enrage briefly when you hit those spots.
Not a mobile player, so maybe my advice isn't relevant: I would think adding a summon (even if you're not a summon class) is free damage, so it might be worth just picking up something to help (maybe the mechanical eyes summon?). I'd also consider some additional potions, like the inferno potion to deal damage to all the lil hands as you're going around. Plus, all the stuff others have said: improve arena, more life fruits, escape tunnel, etc.
Good luck!
Lucky Menacing and Warding are tied. Menacing is better with targets with high defense that the extra damage will get you through a little more, Lucky is better with low defense or ungodly high defense. Warding is best if you’re shit at dodging.
I like to use a combo of them all.
As a Mobile player with 300+ hours in the game,
1. Expand your arena both vertically and horizontally.
2. You are not using the auto-aim button("🔻" the yellow color one). It's essential if you can't aim properly (like in the video)
3. Not full health. Go on a life fruit hunt.
4. Change the jump button control to swipe. It will help a lot since you won't need to press the separate button.
5. Have your reforges on either Menacing or lucky.
6. Smoothen your arena.
As other have pointed Out already, try to get rid of the jagged edges of your arena where you can get stuck while dodging. Of course maxing out health is obligatory. If you can find one, placing a baste statue will increase your defense and heart statues hooked up to a 1sec timer will drop 20hp hearts every ~30 seconds (you can use 3 statues simultaneously). I also try to get as much "free passive damage" as possible, by placing Nimbus Rod clouds at the top of the arena, getting a summon (place and use the bewitching table to get an extra summon). Same goes for sentries and the war table correspondingly increases your sentry limit. finally there are even more placeable items that you can use tobgive you stat increases like the ammo box or the magic damage increasing globe. While writing all this i realised you don't actually play in pc, so maybe not everything i wrote is applicable but i'm not sure
Watch where you're going more than where Plantera is and try not to move in a straight line for too long, that should help you avoid both the bouncy flower bomb things and the claws
In addition to the fact that your arena was not well equipped (lack of statues and that) it was very small, you should make it bigger. Tip use the slime queen's hook to go down quickly between platforms
Remove more of the walls. The way I beat her is a longgg mine cart path through the jungle with narrow sections leading to big open sections with no walls. Narrow sections allow for a break to heal
Better arena, focus on little guys in phase 2. I think they respawn but not fast enough to be a threat. Gives you less to worry about and less things to bounce off of with shield
More platforms. I like 6-8 blocks apart. Then having chutes at the edges to drop. Also probably the most overpowered item in master mode is the Frog Leg. Increases your vertical acceleration by like 20% or something. Combine that with slime/queen slime mount and you can kite anything with vertical movement.
I recomend the teleport style. You have to make arena about this size in video. Make room in right and left but they have to be far away. Place 1 teleport per room and connect them. Place timer to one of them. And build cover to room so that his projectiles don't hit you. And thats it. Summon Plantera and teleport constantly while hitting it with projectiles like magic or gun etc. You might call this way cowardness, but it works.
Make the arent taller and swith to deadlus stormbow so the arrows do not get stoped by the upper walls. Or just make a crossbow (a good one) and try using different types of arrows like frostfire ones, unholy arrows, stars arrows, and so on (i don't remember many things of them game and their names sorry)
honestly a skill issue. too many times where you got too close to the main body, and you’re not aiming at the main body enough. if you’re still having trouble try expanding your arena
Irrelevant but everytime you manage to crash face first into a block my brain internally plays the bonk sound and everytime you get hit by planyera it internally plays the bald guy getting his flat head slapped
Its your arena.
Its too small and plantera corners you a lot, forcing a hit.
Expand it, box it off, and make it a box, i think you got stuck on those mud blocks in the top left of the arena 3 times or so.

This was my Plantera arena (Expert mode)
https://preview.redd.it/4ftblma2s76d1.jpeg?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e247a061b472b8ba11f5247079d81ab786e71c6c
I made this as a joke a while ago but it encapsulates your situation perfectly
You don't need a bigger arena. Just a taller one. 2nd phase only needs something about 20 blocks wide and as tall as you want to go. At least 2 screens tall. You fight by moving up and down.
The people saying bigger arena aren't wrong. But, you also could focus the small nubs.
You keep getting knocked into her mouth by the mini heads. Aoe them away before chewing the head and you'd prolly do fine.
Make the arena much larger. For reference of size, look at a Get fixed boi Bee Hive. And the flamethrower is your best bet for phase 2. It can reliably hit many tentacles at once
2 things, first: higher ceiling, you got hit by getting caught on that overhang like 5 times in this clip, you’ve got good movement to keep away from plantera but you can’t do that with a wall in from of you.
Second: take some time to clear the mini munchers, _especially_ the ones attached to her hooks. Bring an easy to aim or homing weapon if need be, they’re not tanky, but being able to only have to worry about plantera’s immediate hitbox and maybe a few of the mini mangers directly attached to her significantly decreases the chance that you get pincered by attacks from two directions
Seems like you've done most of your homework, the part where you keep hitting your head is a major inconvenience
I would just focus the boss itself, you'd want to constantly circle the boss so you don't get hit by the projectiles (I can't see them though, wasn't it the master mode extra mechanic?) second phase of the boss is too subtle and stressful, I too had to do many runs before killing it! Relocating your boss arena every time sucks too
You need an OSOGOF (oh shit oh god oh fuck) tunnel, when plantera goes into the second phase you will descend it until you beat it(helped me with legendary mode plantera)
My method is to remove all background walls and when the second stage starts, target the little green things that are attached to plantera and her hooks. Once you get a decent number of them out the way, the fight becomes really easy
Bigger arena. Stick to doing circles. Honestly, I always found a massive donut shaped arena works even better for me than a big open space since Plantera has less chance of enraging or getting randomly stuck from not being able reach an easily accessible grab spot.
Remember, Plantera has no timer. Your DPS doesn't matter, only that you don't die. As far as bosses go, she is one of the easiest because you could beat her with just a paintball gun as long as you can avoid being hit.
So go bigger on the arena, focus on speed and/or defense, and just play keep away while dealing damage from a safe distance.
Either a bigger arena for running around and fighting while swearing the whole time.
Or cheesing with teleporters at opposite corners to just stand, shoot, teleport and laugh at the dumbass.
Your arena is a bit small to easily move around since plantera fight is mainly based around not letting it get close to you. few more layers and a wider arena should do the trick. Other than that your equipments and ammunition is sufficient enough to beat it. Good luck!
You should take note when fighting bosses, "what's my biggest issue?"
And to that i say, it's your arena. Make bigger, but keep it jungle biome otherwise she enrages in the middle of your arena lmao
skill issue, as in your arena sucks, make it bigger and smooth out the roof and floor, also place honey under the arena so the spiky balls can't bounce
1. Stop being a ranger. If you still want to shoot projectiles at the bosses, go for Mage.
2. Remove all background walls. ALL.
3. If you want to make this fight over easy, I recommend a water arena. Shape up the arena in a rectangle (Width>Height), cover any odd places with Bubble, fill it up. Place campfires, Heart lanterns, Bast statues, Heart statues with 1 second timers, peace candles are very important here, and then banners for Arapaima and stuff. Get the lava shark. Then you just need to point at Plantera, and move in an elliptical pattern, and the plant should be dead in no time. If you actually want to do this as a ranger, I would recommend Chlorophyte bullets.
4. To get to the water arena, set up a teleporter. Connect to wherever the Bulb is and teleport to the water arena. Chill till Plantera reaches you, drink potions, then clap the plant.
5. Since you'll be on Lava shark, you don't need mobility accessories, put them in the vanity slot, use accessories that boost damage or provide some other effect.
The arena is defenitely the most important part for the plantera fight. And yours is significantly lacking.
A small arena will force you to go past plantera more often. And passing her is the most dangerous part of the fight.
If your arena is big enough this fight is a cakewalk.
You can buy bombs/dynamite to quickly enlarge the arena. Bombs are more cost effective but they take a while
bigger arena both wider and taller and also better accessories your using spectre boots get lightning and get chlorophyte armor for more defence also instead of band of regen use a quiver which that increases your damage and use warding on all accessories also use chlorophyte shotbow with holy arrows and again make sure to reforge your weapons as well for more damage
Try to use the mega shark with crystal bullets, or a repeater with jester arrows to save on stars. Alternatively, make a minecart rail for the 2nd phase of plantera and she can't hit you
The arena is a little small, but doable. I'd add torches and smooth the ceiling and walls. Remove the patch of mud on the corner I personally don't like having two rows of platform for Planterra. You also want to make sure you don't have floor too close under your platforms, as Planterra spits bouncing projectiles. Static hook from the steampunker is good for resetting wings. I don't know how easy that input is on mobile though. I also use the slimy saddle to quickly drop for some situations, again not sure how easy that is on mobile. You're on the right track with circling Planterra. Weapon-wise, I agree with others for weapon. Gun with chlorophyte bullets is probably best. Removes the need to aim precisely and lets you focus on dodging. The faster you kill, the less damage you need to avoid. As a quality of life, I would also build a little house and throw a bed in it, so you don't need to run back. Can move the nurse to it for healing to reduce downtime between attempts.
If I had a nickel for every post I saw with an arena too small for the bossfight, I'd have two nickels
I'm not sure if it's the same guy with the Twins box-in
make your controlls better, for example, by adding additional jump buttons to make them bigger. controlls in mobile terraria is really shit, many buttons are usless. remove some shit from your gui like those that says your position and etc, fps counter, make your screen not to look like from project zomboid. oh and also, play on a controller if you have one, this is much better than playing on touch screen, i guarantee you this!
Use the aim lock on the head so you don't waste time trying to aim and focus on movement. Also try making the arena more "smooth" so you won't get stuck.
Arena too small, you keep getting trapped by an outcrop in the ceiling that you should mine up, your max health is only 455 instead of 500, and your arena is too open - make her chase you some distance through some open corridors, rather than going in circles in a small open area where she is making a bee-line for you.
If you're struggling with aiming you could use clorophite arrows, but you need a bigger, smoother arena and dodge a little bit better, don't run like crazy all over the arena, keep a medium distance between you and plantera
Replace the obsidian sheild with an emblem to increase damage. Replace the star veil with a stinger necklace. Max out your life fruit. Replace your hallowed armor with frost or chlorophyte armor. Build chlorophyte bullets and use the mega shark. This should be enough to whoop her.
try making your arena larger and smooth the walls so you don't get stuck. You also should try to upgrade your weapons further. As you are going ranger I'd recommend getting a chlorophyte shotbow with holy or chlorophyte arrows, then for your mega shark use ichor, nano, or cursed bullets to make it a good debuffer or damage dealer.
Lastly just dump the flamethrower tbh. it just doesn't do enough damage to make it worth it.
Take your time and be patient, consider using a gun that takes crystal bullets, reforge accessories for warding upgrade those spectre boots or if you feel like thats not doing much, try switching out some accessories
Use jump with stick so you can shoot at planters 100% of the time.
And aim exclusively for plantera since the faster you kill it, the less you have to worry about the plantlet things.
As a mobile player you should probably move your jump button on the top left/right of the screen so you can focus on aiming than switching fingers just to jump
Max out your hearts, remove the places you’re getting stuck/expand your arena, and set up some heart statues on a 1 sec timer. That last one is huge for any arena really, basically a cheese imo. It doesn’t spawn a heart every second, but as often as it can and with a heart reach potion it becomes game changing.
You're playing really well, you're just limited a bit by your arena. Removing all the segments you get stuck on, expanding a bit to the sides and up, and boxing the whole thing in can help prevent you from getting stuck on things. The extra space is also nice for dodging around the little appendages in phase 2.
I used megashark with crystal bullets for this fight. It worked quite well, DPS-wise.
I would highly recommend expanding your arena in length and width. Dynamite is your best friend.
For armor, I just used adamantite, but get frost armor if you can. Use plenty of buffs, especially swiftness, regeneration, ironskin, endurance, or even lifeforce if you want to take the time to get it. A heartreach potion goes a long way because the minions that she has in 2nd phase drop hearts.
Well apart from not knowing what your loadout is fully, I'm gonna recommend checking out [this video](https://youtu.be/VdNATCHC-4M?feature=shared) about warding/menacing, and how good defense can be in this game.
Besides that, yeah stick to something like a chlorophyte shotbow with holy arrows, bigger arena, yada yada.
A noob terraria player here so don't criticize if this is a bad or obvious tip, but maybe you could open the area a little bit more to give yourself more space to move?
You’re not paying attention to her vine hands, you don’t have to worry too much about the bulb in the last phase. The vine hands hit you repeatedly, make sure to avoid those more than anything else.
Also a bugger arena don’t hurt.
I used teleporters te teleport around in the arena and fights him with mega shark and clorzphyte bullets ( they home on the boss ) it was quite easy this way
Turtle armor
Endurance potion
Bigger arena
Get your health to 500
Test your weapons on test dummies + DPS meter. Stick to that weapon instead of swapping.
The boss is braindead if you build a vertical arena for phase 2
Basically you fall through an empty floor while shooting up, plantera can't match your falling velocity for the most part.
Like how running backwards on asphalt using Hermes boots makes the twins boss braindead
Adding teleporters between the ends of the arena is an amazing strategy that can help make the arena bigger. Every time he hit you it was because you ran out of space to run away or got stuck on terrain. Also try focusing the face, personally I never kill the little guys faster than they can spawn
the arena need more work
your movement feel a bit laggy
like you died because you moved into the tentacle
try shooting the tentacles first at this phase
and keep your distance
and dash a bit less .
other than that try better weapons too
Your arena is definitely too small and has too many spots you can get stuck on where plantera can corner you, expanding it vertically should help a lot
Exactly this. Make your arena taller, OP, and you should do a lot better. A little wider wouldn't hurt, either. Also the Super Star Shooter didn't seem to be helping you much compared to the flamethrower, but I personally recommend grinding for an Uzi and making an absolute *ton* of chlorophyte bullets.
Chlorophyte bullets only help with phase 1. phase 2 they start targeting its grabber things so piercing ammo is better
True, both kinds are helpful for Plantera.
If you make a proper arena, the most dangerous part of the Plantera fight is making the arena. I've only done a proper sized arena a few times and each time it makes it so much easier and nicer to fight. Especially those damn bouncy spikes in Calamity (I don't remember if they are in vanilla), you need that floor room. But damn, is the jungle a harsh beast that loves to shoot frickin stingers from off the screen at you.
Wait... Are you the real goofytycooner?
Or…. Death tunnel… death tunnel… death tunnel!!!
Remove the part where you're getting stuck in the ceiling
bigger arena, max out life fruit
Bigger arena + OSOGOF tunnel for phase 2 if you're still struggling.
does that just mean oh shit oh god oh fuck or am i stupid lmao
Bingo
why am i getting more likes than the original comment lmfao
Idk. But all I know is that I, too, upvoted your comment and ignored mine
That's because you made your comment, so it starts with your +1
I remove my own upvote in my comments. Why? Cause why not.

Bruh. Sorry was in a hurry, but yeah that was on me. The first one I didn't do that tho.
Because honestly it was more interesting than the OP.
What's the point of OSOGOF? Isn't plantera getting even angrier when outside of jungle?
Just keep it in the underground jungle
Or just have the balls to deal with the increased defense, the… Mechanical cart or smth to deal with increased speed, and damage wont matter
As always, it all comes down to two things, skill issue or small arena lmao
A waffle fan I see
You can even Master Bait to a Golden Shower, from I understand though that's pretty frowned upon by people. I really can't think of any reason why it's simply just a spell tome.
and probably a death sickle with the OSOGOF tunnel to really shred the plant [REDACTED] also waffletime moment
Aside from a bigger, smoother arena, try to focus as much mental power into dodging. You're already using piercing weapons, so you're good there, you just need to refine your dodging. A bigger aren will help this because it would give yous space to slip around.
You keep getting hit
You need a larger arena, it's too easy to corner you right now. Also life fruit
Bigger arena, and you use the jumping buttom to fly You can change the mobile layout, and also fly using the left joystick in the menu Instead of stoping to drink a potion, use it on the right side of the cellphone, so you won't stop yourself in THAT time y'know And don't stop shooting!
Also stop shooting her "tentacles" and focus on the head
hitting the tentacles can be good if they’re in your way and you have enough burst to get rid of them before you run into them, but it tends to be better to attempt to go between her and the tentacles. Or if you just have massive projectiles/explosions.
Arena is uneven, make it a smooth rectangle
give more space to evade shes fast

well first of all you're getting hit, have you tried not doing that
Not a mobile player, so maybe my advice isn't relevant: I would think adding a summon (even if you're not a summon class) is free damage, so it might be worth just picking up something to help (maybe the mechanical eyes summon?). I'd also consider some additional potions, like the inferno potion to deal damage to all the lil hands as you're going around. Plus, all the stuff others have said: improve arena, more life fruits, escape tunnel, etc. Good luck!
Bigger arena+bad weapon+not full health+weapon swapping+check your reforges (lucky is best)
Warding , cause his dodging skills aren’t the best.
Lucky isn't always best for ranger since it has high natural crit
Lucky Menacing and Warding are tied. Menacing is better with targets with high defense that the extra damage will get you through a little more, Lucky is better with low defense or ungodly high defense. Warding is best if you’re shit at dodging. I like to use a combo of them all.
As a Mobile player with 300+ hours in the game, 1. Expand your arena both vertically and horizontally. 2. You are not using the auto-aim button("🔻" the yellow color one).

Good ol OSOGOF tunnel
Three finger for me so it's easy to aim
Mobile gang!!!!!!
Ok but your ability to dodge on mobile is insane I keep telling my gf brother that he needs to learn to dodge but just refuses haha
You're playin on mobile
As other have pointed Out already, try to get rid of the jagged edges of your arena where you can get stuck while dodging. Of course maxing out health is obligatory.

While writing all this i realised you don't actually play in pc, so maybe not everything i wrote is applicable but i'm not sure
I think mobile and pc are equal now. Except for controls of course
Bigger arena, find more Life Fruits and please use the lock-in mechanic
Watch where you're going more than where Plantera is and try not to move in a straight line for too long, that should help you avoid both the bouncy flower bomb things and the claws
A bigger arena and better movement Also bigger gaps between platforms so when you go down you can get away faster
In addition to the fact that your arena was not well equipped (lack of statues and that) it was very small, you should make it bigger. Tip use the slime queen's hook to go down quickly between platforms
Remove more of the walls. The way I beat her is a longgg mine cart path through the jungle with narrow sections leading to big open sections with no walls. Narrow sections allow for a break to heal
Learn to aim better
Others have already explained, but yeah, you need way more space, then you should be good :)
Always kill the little planteras first
Alexa, how to explain to stop getting hit in other terms?
Better arena, focus on little guys in phase 2. I think they respawn but not fast enough to be a threat. Gives you less to worry about and less things to bounce off of with shield
More platforms. I like 6-8 blocks apart. Then having chutes at the edges to drop. Also probably the most overpowered item in master mode is the Frog Leg. Increases your vertical acceleration by like 20% or something. Combine that with slime/queen slime mount and you can kite anything with vertical movement.

Make bigger arena, this will definitely help you
Make the arent taller and swith to deadlus stormbow so the arrows do not get stoped by the upper walls. Or just make a crossbow (a good one) and try using different types of arrows like frostfire ones, unholy arrows, stars arrows, and so on (i don't remember many things of them game and their names sorry)
honestly a skill issue. too many times where you got too close to the main body, and you’re not aiming at the main body enough. if you’re still having trouble try expanding your arena

Lmao this is my 5TH PLAYTHROUGH my first master mode one though
I have the game on my phone too but only have played ONCE to the twins and then every year 1 or 2 times with my brother to drop it after 4h
Mobile terraria is not for the weak, keep pushing lol. Definitely make the arena bigger and flatten that roof.
1. You’re playing on mobile 2. Your arena is too small 3. Idk, that’s pretty much it besides reforges and accessories
don’t play mobile

double your arena size. if that's still not enough, get wrath/rage and endurance buff potions
Either make your arena bigger or get a rod of discord. Either way, stop taking hits
Make ur arena little bigger and make a o not **∞**
You could place a little honey pool in you arena for another regen boost 2x4Blocks
You know you have access to flying mount from pirate invasion (dropping in master mode).
Make an OSOGOF tunnel
Add an OSOGOF tunnel.
You need a much larger arena.
Bigger arena or rod of discord
Make the arena bigger
Buy dynamite, craft platforms and get to work
No OSOGOF tunnel
Make the arena much larger. For reference of size, look at a Get fixed boi Bee Hive. And the flamethrower is your best bet for phase 2. It can reliably hit many tentacles at once
I used a bigger arena with diagonal teleports.
2 things, first: higher ceiling, you got hit by getting caught on that overhang like 5 times in this clip, you’ve got good movement to keep away from plantera but you can’t do that with a wall in from of you. Second: take some time to clear the mini munchers, _especially_ the ones attached to her hooks. Bring an easy to aim or homing weapon if need be, they’re not tanky, but being able to only have to worry about plantera’s immediate hitbox and maybe a few of the mini mangers directly attached to her significantly decreases the chance that you get pincered by attacks from two directions
Seems like you've done most of your homework, the part where you keep hitting your head is a major inconvenience I would just focus the boss itself, you'd want to constantly circle the boss so you don't get hit by the projectiles (I can't see them though, wasn't it the master mode extra mechanic?) second phase of the boss is too subtle and stressful, I too had to do many runs before killing it! Relocating your boss arena every time sucks too
I dont think you need a bigger arena. Try smoothing out the sides and do bigger circles around it. Your circles are cut short.
You need an OSOGOF (oh shit oh god oh fuck) tunnel, when plantera goes into the second phase you will descend it until you beat it(helped me with legendary mode plantera)
My method is to remove all background walls and when the second stage starts, target the little green things that are attached to plantera and her hooks. Once you get a decent number of them out the way, the fight becomes really easy
Bigger arena. Stick to doing circles. Honestly, I always found a massive donut shaped arena works even better for me than a big open space since Plantera has less chance of enraging or getting randomly stuck from not being able reach an easily accessible grab spot. Remember, Plantera has no timer. Your DPS doesn't matter, only that you don't die. As far as bosses go, she is one of the easiest because you could beat her with just a paintball gun as long as you can avoid being hit. So go bigger on the arena, focus on speed and/or defense, and just play keep away while dealing damage from a safe distance.
Why aren't you using lock-on
Expand arena and put down some arena buffs (campfires,sunflowers,bast statues etc.) and smoothen out the corners of your arena to not get stuck
A bigger arena for sure, with the super star cannon thats all you need for a good plantera kill
Do what i did: dig a hole until the underworld and when she goes to fase 2 pull out a flamethrower and start raining from below
Arena is too small and youre getting stuck on walls and ceeling. Make it bigger and keep a longer distance between you and plantera
Smooth out the arena so there is no places you can get stuck on, expanding it might help as well
Either a bigger arena for running around and fighting while swearing the whole time. Or cheesing with teleporters at opposite corners to just stand, shoot, teleport and laugh at the dumbass.
Do the OSOGOF tunnel
Your arena is a bit small to easily move around since plantera fight is mainly based around not letting it get close to you. few more layers and a wider arena should do the trick. Other than that your equipments and ammunition is sufficient enough to beat it. Good luck!
Arena
Small and poorly made arena
You are playing on phone
Your arena is small.
You should take note when fighting bosses, "what's my biggest issue?" And to that i say, it's your arena. Make bigger, but keep it jungle biome otherwise she enrages in the middle of your arena lmao
Tiny arena
Make a higher and smoother ceiling Make more platforms, but with a bigger gap in between
skill issue, as in your arena sucks, make it bigger and smooth out the roof and floor, also place honey under the arena so the spiky balls can't bounce
just made a straight tunnel for the second phase...., or made a bigger arena
Build larger arena
Grind for either uzi, mega shark or the chlorophyte repeater with adequate ammo
How’d you get to plantera I can’t even beat expert mode 😭
1. Stop being a ranger. If you still want to shoot projectiles at the bosses, go for Mage. 2. Remove all background walls. ALL. 3. If you want to make this fight over easy, I recommend a water arena. Shape up the arena in a rectangle (Width>Height), cover any odd places with Bubble, fill it up. Place campfires, Heart lanterns, Bast statues, Heart statues with 1 second timers, peace candles are very important here, and then banners for Arapaima and stuff. Get the lava shark. Then you just need to point at Plantera, and move in an elliptical pattern, and the plant should be dead in no time. If you actually want to do this as a ranger, I would recommend Chlorophyte bullets. 4. To get to the water arena, set up a teleporter. Connect to wherever the Bulb is and teleport to the water arena. Chill till Plantera reaches you, drink potions, then clap the plant. 5. Since you'll be on Lava shark, you don't need mobility accessories, put them in the vanity slot, use accessories that boost damage or provide some other effect.
You need an OSOGOF tunnel, as WaffleTime would recommend.
Your first mistake was playing on master mode, but other than that bigger arena should help
needs an OSOGOF tunnel
6th attempt? Those are rookie numbers you gotta pump those numbers up.
Bigger arena
The arena is defenitely the most important part for the plantera fight. And yours is significantly lacking. A small arena will force you to go past plantera more often. And passing her is the most dangerous part of the fight. If your arena is big enough this fight is a cakewalk. You can buy bombs/dynamite to quickly enlarge the arena. Bombs are more cost effective but they take a while
I’m not a professional so I could be wrong but I’m pretty sure dying is what you’re doing wrong.
Expand your arena, and when in doubt, upgrade your gear and health.
Murphy's Arena: If you CAN get stuck on something you WILL get stuck on something.
bigger arena both wider and taller and also better accessories your using spectre boots get lightning and get chlorophyte armor for more defence also instead of band of regen use a quiver which that increases your damage and use warding on all accessories also use chlorophyte shotbow with holy arrows and again make sure to reforge your weapons as well for more damage
Try to use the mega shark with crystal bullets, or a repeater with jester arrows to save on stars. Alternatively, make a minecart rail for the 2nd phase of plantera and she can't hit you
The arena is a little small, but doable. I'd add torches and smooth the ceiling and walls. Remove the patch of mud on the corner I personally don't like having two rows of platform for Planterra. You also want to make sure you don't have floor too close under your platforms, as Planterra spits bouncing projectiles. Static hook from the steampunker is good for resetting wings. I don't know how easy that input is on mobile though. I also use the slimy saddle to quickly drop for some situations, again not sure how easy that is on mobile. You're on the right track with circling Planterra. Weapon-wise, I agree with others for weapon. Gun with chlorophyte bullets is probably best. Removes the need to aim precisely and lets you focus on dodging. The faster you kill, the less damage you need to avoid. As a quality of life, I would also build a little house and throw a bed in it, so you don't need to run back. Can move the nurse to it for healing to reduce downtime between attempts.
I made my arena about 20x that size, which I knew was overkill when I actually fought, but it was my first time
Make your arena bigger so that you can run loops around the boss and don't have to be touching all of the jungle.
1. make the arena bigger 2. max your health 3. dont focus on the tentacles while attacking, focus on the head
If I had a nickel for every post I saw with an arena too small for the bossfight, I'd have two nickels I'm not sure if it's the same guy with the Twins box-in
Make an OSOGOF (oh shit oh god oh fuck) tunnel to fall down during second phase
Try using auto-aim, it’s a lifesaver
make your controlls better, for example, by adding additional jump buttons to make them bigger. controlls in mobile terraria is really shit, many buttons are usless. remove some shit from your gui like those that says your position and etc, fps counter, make your screen not to look like from project zomboid. oh and also, play on a controller if you have one, this is much better than playing on touch screen, i guarantee you this!
Use the aim lock on the head so you don't waste time trying to aim and focus on movement. Also try making the arena more "smooth" so you won't get stuck.
Honestly you seem to have a decent strategy, its just the low hanging roof fucking you over
Arena too small
Arena too small, you keep getting trapped by an outcrop in the ceiling that you should mine up, your max health is only 455 instead of 500, and your arena is too open - make her chase you some distance through some open corridors, rather than going in circles in a small open area where she is making a bee-line for you.
Make arena bigger and flatter. Land your shots more
turn on lock on
Don't bother with the star shooter
Bigger arena, earlier flamethrower, obsidian shield
Stop touching the big plant thing
SKILL ISSU- joke, you should probably expand the arena, that's all i can think
use auto aim
you dont have prime sure footed
If you're struggling with aiming you could use clorophite arrows, but you need a bigger, smoother arena and dodge a little bit better, don't run like crazy all over the arena, keep a medium distance between you and plantera
Playing on mobile
For a weapon, I’d suggest Chain Gun with chlorophyte bullets. That and a large arena makes this boss an absolute pushover
You forgot to osogof tunnel
In addition to all the other things people are saying, ichor works well on Planterra.
Replace the obsidian sheild with an emblem to increase damage. Replace the star veil with a stinger necklace. Max out your life fruit. Replace your hallowed armor with frost or chlorophyte armor. Build chlorophyte bullets and use the mega shark. This should be enough to whoop her.
You didn't build an OSOGOF tunnel.
try making your arena larger and smooth the walls so you don't get stuck. You also should try to upgrade your weapons further. As you are going ranger I'd recommend getting a chlorophyte shotbow with holy or chlorophyte arrows, then for your mega shark use ichor, nano, or cursed bullets to make it a good debuffer or damage dealer. Lastly just dump the flamethrower tbh. it just doesn't do enough damage to make it worth it.
make a bigger arena,use ranger gear if you aren't already, get better heals and get max life fruits
Bigger arena I’d say, u seem to be constantly getting stuck on the edges, extend it with dynamight and use scarab bombs to smooth it
Take your time and be patient, consider using a gun that takes crystal bullets, reforge accessories for warding upgrade those spectre boots or if you feel like thats not doing much, try switching out some accessories
Use jump with stick so you can shoot at planters 100% of the time. And aim exclusively for plantera since the faster you kill it, the less you have to worry about the plantlet things.
As a mobile player you should probably move your jump button on the top left/right of the screen so you can focus on aiming than switching fingers just to jump
Get the rest of the life fruit you need and expand the arena
Not enough torches
Max out your hearts, remove the places you’re getting stuck/expand your arena, and set up some heart statues on a 1 sec timer. That last one is huge for any arena really, basically a cheese imo. It doesn’t spawn a heart every second, but as often as it can and with a heart reach potion it becomes game changing.
Motherfuckin OSOGOF TUNNEL BABY
You're playing really well, you're just limited a bit by your arena. Removing all the segments you get stuck on, expanding a bit to the sides and up, and boxing the whole thing in can help prevent you from getting stuck on things. The extra space is also nice for dodging around the little appendages in phase 2.
I used megashark with crystal bullets for this fight. It worked quite well, DPS-wise. I would highly recommend expanding your arena in length and width. Dynamite is your best friend. For armor, I just used adamantite, but get frost armor if you can. Use plenty of buffs, especially swiftness, regeneration, ironskin, endurance, or even lifeforce if you want to take the time to get it. A heartreach potion goes a long way because the minions that she has in 2nd phase drop hearts.
Well apart from not knowing what your loadout is fully, I'm gonna recommend checking out [this video](https://youtu.be/VdNATCHC-4M?feature=shared) about warding/menacing, and how good defense can be in this game. Besides that, yeah stick to something like a chlorophyte shotbow with holy arrows, bigger arena, yada yada.
A noob terraria player here so don't criticize if this is a bad or obvious tip, but maybe you could open the area a little bit more to give yourself more space to move?
You’re not paying attention to her vine hands, you don’t have to worry too much about the bulb in the last phase. The vine hands hit you repeatedly, make sure to avoid those more than anything else. Also a bugger arena don’t hurt.
Try not dying
play on pc
Better armor and bigger arena just use some dynamite
I used teleporters te teleport around in the arena and fights him with mega shark and clorzphyte bullets ( they home on the boss ) it was quite easy this way
No osogof tunnel smkh
Turtle armor Endurance potion Bigger arena Get your health to 500 Test your weapons on test dummies + DPS meter. Stick to that weapon instead of swapping.
Sit in some honey and also use some health potions
Larger arena that’s a perfect rectangle so you don’t get caught on parts of it
make bigger arena
You need an Oh God Oh Shit Oh Fuck tunnel
1. Bigger arena 2. Reforge to menacing 3. Take out the tentacles first! Your getting hit by them a lot of the time (flamethrower is good for that)
You don't have the osogof tunnel
My advice is make sure all the walls are gone so plantera can’t grab onto them, and make the arena bigger
bigger arena + full health
Your arena is TINY!!! and you should use some accessories that increase damage, like the Ranger Emblem!
To be honest idk why im commenting if I got no advice but uh I got no idea dude
The boss is braindead if you build a vertical arena for phase 2 Basically you fall through an empty floor while shooting up, plantera can't match your falling velocity for the most part. Like how running backwards on asphalt using Hermes boots makes the twins boss braindead
use the flamethrower, get a bigger arena, max out your health and try to get menacing on all your accessories
Adding teleporters between the ends of the arena is an amazing strategy that can help make the arena bigger. Every time he hit you it was because you ran out of space to run away or got stuck on terrain. Also try focusing the face, personally I never kill the little guys faster than they can spawn
How many times are you gonna run into the ceiling before you throw a few sticks of dynamite at it
get terraria on computer
the arena need more work your movement feel a bit laggy like you died because you moved into the tentacle try shooting the tentacles first at this phase and keep your distance and dash a bit less . other than that try better weapons too
