The Spiky Thorn Balls now attempt to home in on the player.Plantera's leaf attacks pass through walls in Expert Mode.Plantera is now faster, more damage resistant, and does more damage.There are significant differences in Plantera between normal and Expert Mode worlds. This is a perfect time to use Ichor based weapons (Which needs the Crimson to be loaded in the player's world or brought from another world with Crimson in it) to decrease its defense even more, in order to kill it faster. It stops shooting projectiles at this stage and increases its speed and decreases in defense. The fire rate of the spiked balls also gets faster as it approaches the second stage.Īfter losing half of its HP, Plantera loses its petals to reveal a carnivorous plant-like body and a multitude of tentacle-like vines (besides the 3 used for movement) which behave similarly to The Hungry. There is also an intermediate stage at around a quarter of its HP lost, where it starts shooting pink spiked balls that bounce off of walls, making it almost suicidal to fight in tight spaces. It shoots sharp leaves that do relatively little damage, which fire faster as its HP drops. If the player were to make it chase them into the daylight, it would move faster than normal in the open daylight than underground. The vines do not inflict damage while the 'claws' on the ends do. It uses 3 vines to grab onto solid terrain to move. Plantera's main body appears to be a massive pink flower bulb, much like the plant that it was summoned from. 3.7 Deathbox Strategy (Mobile/Old-Gen Console only).
