Holy moly, when the Tides of Terraria update dropped in Palworld this year, I was totally stoked to dive in! But then I saw the Moon Lord – this behemoth is no joke, folks. It’s like a cosmic horror straight out of a fever dream, and as a long-time Terraria fan, seeing it rendered in all its 3D glory gave me chills. I mean, it’s way more intimidating than the pixel version, with those glowing eyes and massive form. From the get-go, I knew this boss fight was gonna be a real grind, but man, the thrill of taking down such an iconic enemy? That’s what gaming’s all about, am I right? Buckle up, 'cause I’m gonna walk you through my entire journey – the struggles, the epic fails, and the sweet, sweet victory.

How To Craft Celestial Sigils

Alright, first things first: you gotta summon this bad boy. To do that, you need a Celestial Sigil. Crafting it was a pain in the butt, I won’t lie. You need to head to a Primitive Workbench and whip it up with 100 Hallowed Bars. Now, collecting those bars? That was a total slog – I spent hours farming enemies and mining resources. But hey, no pain, no gain, as they say. Once you’ve got the sigil, you use it at a Summoning Altar to bring the Moon Lord into your world. When I did this for the first time, I was like, "Here we go!" and the raid kicked off instantly. It felt so rewarding to finally hold that sigil in my hands after all that effort. Pro tip: stock up on materials beforehand 'cause this ain't no walk in the park.

Preparation For The Moon Lord Raid Boss Battle

Now, before you even think about fighting this monster, you need to gear up properly. The Moon Lord is hands-down one of the toughest bosses in Palworld right now. I learned the hard way that close-range weapons are useless – like, totally worthless. You absolutely need long-range firepower to hit specific body parts. What’s crazy is that the Moon Lord doesn’t have a type, so you can’t exploit elemental weaknesses with your Pals. That means you gotta bring your A-game: strongest Pals and top-tier weapons. For my setup, I crafted the Charge Rifle, Plasma Cannon, and Rocket Launcher – these bad boys dish out massive damage in fewer hits, which saved my bacon multiple times. I also taught my Jetdragon Beam Comet and my Selyne Nightmare Ball for some long-range support. When I first tried without proper prep, I got wiped out in seconds – talk about an epic fail! But after a few retries, I was ready to rumble. My advice? Don’t skimp on this part; it’s make-or-break.

How To Beat The Moon Lord

Okay, let’s talk about the actual fight. The Moon Lord is level 50 with a whopping 422,500 health – yeah, you heard that right. Attacking its body does zilch, so you need to aim for the eyes when they open up on its head and hands. This is where things get intense: those eyes shoot projectiles and lasers, so you’re constantly dodging like mad while trying to land hits. It’s like a bullet-hell frenzy! Plus, the boss summons extra eyes that hover around and zap you with beams. My first attempt? Total disaster – I kept getting hit and panicked. But here’s the kicker: your Pals are lifesavers. They automatically target the weak spots, so I just followed their lead. After depleting the eye health, I saw my pals attacking the neck area in the middle of the body. That’s your cue to unload everything there for a quick finish. When I finally nailed it, I was like, "Yes! Nailed it!" It was such a rush.

Rewards and Final Thoughts

After defeating the Moon Lord, the rewards are totally worth it. You get:

  • Training Crystal

  • Ruby x6

  • Ancient Civilization Parts x10

  • Carrying Lotus (S)

  • Power Lotus (S)

  • Ancient Civilization Core x2

I used these to upgrade my gear and pals, making future battles a breeze. Reflecting on this whole adventure, it’s been a wild ride – from that initial shock of seeing the Moon Lord to the euphoria of victory. This boss fight is seriously challenging, but it’s oh-so-satisfying. So, if you’re up for a test of skill, git gud and take it on. Trust me, it’s an epic experience you won’t forget!
