The Acid Gun is capable of making quick work of the Hive Mind and its summons. The Hellwing Staff and Flare Bolt can deal great damage to the Hive Mind. The Hyphae Rod can decimate the Hive Mind's first phase.

The Sand Dollar is an extremely powerful rogue weapon that will quickly handle the Hive Mind. The Mycoroot is a very good option for close ranged damage. The Ashen Stalactite's stealth strike is also a good alternative. The Meteor Fist's stealth strike is great against the Hive Mind and its minions.

The Hive Mind does not spawn on its own and requires the player to summon it using a Teratoma or by killing a Hive Tumor in The Corruption.

The Hive Mind first appeared right after the defeat of the Eater of Worlds, explaining to its slayers that with it destroyed, they would require a new guardian for the realm, in hopes of recruiting Calamitas for the task, which led to a fight breaking out, ending in the Hive Mind being forced to flee underground.

The Queen Bee is a pre-Hardmode boss. It does not need to be killed to progress the game, but it has some useful drops and the Witch Doctor NPC will spawn when it is killed.

First phase attacks include a tentacle slam, which you can see and hear coming when the Hive Mind rears back. To avoid this simply run to the left or right a few moments before the impact.

The Hive Tumor is a rare Pre-Hardmode stationary enemy that spawns in The Corruption biome. When killed, it will summon The Hive Mind. The Hive Tumor has abnormally high life for Pre-Hardmode, ensuring that early players won't accidentally summon the boss.

Hive Mind will copy any instant or sorcery spell, not just one with targets. If a player casts an instant or sorcery spell, Hive Mind's ability triggers and is put on the stack on top of that spell.

All empire types that can join the galatic community can become the galactic emperor. Hive minds and machine intelligence are no exceptions.

Is Yharim the bad guy? ›

Yharim is the main antagonist of the Terraria Calamity Mod.

A hive mentality isn't always negative. It doesn't necessarily mean you can't think for yourself. Having a hive mentality means that your allegiance to a group or cause will outweigh the repercussions of associating with that group. As in all things, a hive mentality has its pros and cons.

The infected also seem to be all linked together as a hive mind due to the network of Cordyceps mycilium growing underground. Disturbing one patch of the fungus could awaken another one with a horde of infected hosts lying dormant up to one mile away.

The ice spikes deal less damage closer to the deerclops than they do further away. If the player has high enough defense, they can just brute force the deerclops down. A well fed buff and ironskin potion are great for this.

Melee - Large swords or melee weapons that are long ranged are the best options, like Yoyos and Flails, like the Artery yoyo, which is made from Crimtane ore. The Rotted Fork is another good melee option against the Brain, particularly for its second phase.

The debuff can be prevented with the Trifold Map (and by extension, anything crafted from it), which is dropped by most enemies that cause the debuff. About 70% of enemies and the entirety of bosses in Terraria are immune to the Confused debuff. Many of the vulnerable enemies include slimes, bats, and most fighters.

Piercing items like spears and flails can take out several goblins at once. The Spiky Balls dropped during the invasion are effective in fighting off further goblins, as the majority of them follow the basic Fighter AI and will mindlessly walk through them. Goblin Peons cannot break doors that are already open.
