How do I kill the solar pillar?
I'm a mage character in Terraria and I just beat the lunatic cultist. My base is set up right behind the dungeon and I have to go through the solar pillar to get anywhere else. The second I go there I die.
I have spectre armor with a hood and my weapons are the Laser Machinegun, Golden Shower, Crystal Storm, Magnet Sphere, Staff of Earth, Ice Rod, and the Nimbus Rod.
How can I beat the Solar Pillar?
Best Answer
As you'll be able to tell, I have fought this pillar a lot. Here's what I've found works:
Get full Spectre Armour with the hood for health regeneration. Full Beetle Armour works as well but you might have to retreat a few times during the fight to not die.
Build a platform just above the pillar (prehaps afterwards) and use Vampire Knives (healing) and the Flaron/Vortex Blaster (for homing in) to kill the enemies. This way, you'll be able to tell when the force field is down before running into a hoard.
The Crawlipides won't attack when standing on the platform (if not hammered). Use Greater Healing Potions (and Inchor Flasks if possible). Don't jump, and try to hit the flying/charging enemies rapidly to stop them hitting you. Equip the Cross Necklace to help if you get swarmed.
Good luck and I hope this helps.

Terrarian. My answer is, well, obviously, the Solar Pillar.How do I fight the celestial pillars?
Drops. The Stardust Pillar is one of the four pillars that spawns after defeating the Lunatic Cultist. The shield around the Stardust Pillar will be lowered after 100 (150 in Expert) enemies like Star Cells are killed near the pillar, allowing the player to damage and destroy the pillar.Terraria 1.4 - Solar Pillar Fight Guide (Switch, PS4, XBox, PC)
