Why does poison last long enough to kill you with fully upgraded iron armor, I had eaten sausage, and cooked meat. I had pretty much the best stuff i could have before this point in the game, yet my iron battle axe still only did like 20 damage to him per hit despite how pathetically slow it swings. This fight is just unfun. On top of all of his garbage he just constantly spawns mobs.

Have a look of my yesterday post. i explained how i killed him with only 97 frost arrows without any single damage from him. Zerooooo damage.

ps : I defeated Bonemass very easily some days ago. i've built two treehouses in front of his spawn area. The first one was with teleport and all the stuffs and the second was just higher in the opposit direction. I summoned him and ran to the second treehouse on the highest level. Bonemass was focusing on my first house. He destroyed the first level and kept on attacking the house. It took me 97 frost arrows to kill him from the second house.

Amazed to see to which extent people are willing to go just to avoid a melee fight. Your tactic is borderline cheesing and I bet you it took way longer and it meant way more effort to build your tree houses and to get the materials for the frost arrows then it would have been to just melee him.

All you need is:
5-6 poison resistance meads,
Level 1 Iron Armor
Fully upgraded Iron mace

Then just make sure to avoid his poison cloud when he pukes (watch his animation).

For his normal melee attack watch his movements and parry when the moment comes (you will know because he telegraphs everything he is about to do). Right after one of his melee attacks, go near him and land a few hits, because his animations are quite sluggish and you have a few seconds of respite. As soon as he begins another attack, get ready to parry or dodge. Rinse and repeat until dead.

When he throws blobs around, just kill those first before focusing on him.
