We don’t need to worry about having 200 thermals for Warbot fight

[Lucas Rego]

I was testing the fight in my live and I used the Snurtle Shell for the fight, and it is way more consistent/faster fight than having to spam thermals and star caller.

As you can see I’m not flawless and it could be improved, and the 3rd phase of the fight is risky, but I wanted to share this with the community cause maybe this way is more consistent.

here is the video:

This is huge knowledge thank you so much for sharing!

Interesting idea, though I think it is more time efficient to utilize thermal stones because rocks are so abundant compared to the Snurtles. Maybe, could be wrong. I rarely see Snurtles but I also don't actively hunt for them.

Yeah we need to check, I just didn’t like the idea of having too many thermals + it not being consistent (even with thermals we are focused sometimes),if you think about it, with a torch and a watering can we can get 4 (or 2 if a somebody better plays) Snurtle shells and it makes the fight more consistent.

But indeed it will be probably a matter of analysing further which one is better

I wanted to share cause having an extra way of dealing with this boss is probably gonna help, I 100% prefer this method, at least for the 2 first missile phases

Yeah, They aren't that abundant if your not actively looking, but there's some easy ways to farm them like using a torch on the house then watering it to get snurtles to spawn then using the tail o 3 cats to easily kill them. There are a few vids about it on YouTube you can check since my explanation isn't that great.

Less than 10 thermals and the boss dies.

Indeee, also we don’t need the Tail o 3 cats, this one is used only for the helm farming, for the Snurtle is only the torch + watering can

Yeah, it’s a matter of taste, since we are already going to go to ruins, just bring torch + watering can and we can easily farm the Shells, however we would have to verify which one is better in a proper rush.

IMO for phase 1 and 2 I would 100% go armor, if you see the battle it’s so easy and you are not dependable on the suffering of: “damn, it aimed me even though the thermal is close, this thing is bugged!”

There is no bug. People who still don't understand the boss's design.

I'll explain: the one who has to be close to the heat sources is the boss (not the player). If the boss is far from the thermal stones (or any heat source), the missiles will hit the player (even if the player is next to a thermal stone).

I can also do the fight without using thermal stones, but I find it more practical ("less tasks during the fight") to use two bone armors.

Yeah I know, my comment is that many people don’t.

I didn’t do with 2 bone helms yet, nice video btw, I thought it was going to be hard to sync the missiles.

but it’s always good to have more ways of doing the fight, thanks for sharing my man

I see all flying drones, I wonder is it the case that after the first fight the restriction on needing both types of drones is removed?

I believe he was removed because I gave him the 6 Warblers in two different worlds, and he was accepted.

Maybe it's because only Terramite is repairable.

There are in fact, some bugs and inconsistencies. See here, or my recent bug report history.

The main reason this can actually happen is that, anything you can use to attempt to attract the missiles needs to emit more heat than the ambient temperature (and be within 4.5 tiles of Warbot), otherwise it'll be ignored (details are in the comment linked above). Only exceptions are Winona's generators and smoldering things that don't otherwise emit heat or cold. These two will use ambient temperature as their base temperature, and add 10 and 5 degrees respectively (so they're good on any season besides winter where temperature drops below 0, and outside of an Ice Crystaleyezer of course).

There's no way to tell with a lot of other things, and usually only structure fires, tree fires, Dwarf Stars are always above ambient temperature regardless of what season it is.
