My New Favorite Bonemass Tactic



The first time I fought Bonemass, I built a platform on the summoning skull and unloaded an ungodly amount of arrows on him until he died. Since that time, I've potted up and beat him the more traditional way, with mace and shield and dancing him around the skull while kiting/killing mobs. I had never played with the Iron Sledge before, and read up on it in my down time. I realized the ONLY attack it has it at the ground. I had accidentally fallen on Bonemass once from a platform, so I knew I could stand on his head to avoid a lot of damage. I figured this might be the perfect tool to literally hammer him into the ground while tapdancing across his skull. I did fall off once, and had to run screaming around the skull and quickly rebuilding my ladder to the top, but once I got back on top, Bonemass was doomed. I think I've found my new favorite way to fight Bonemass.
