this set up made omoroth pretty easy! im in hard mode + this was my first fight with it. here's what i used if you want some help. btw this is in order of progression so no items past omoroth from morpha, the desert of beginnings or any other future biome\*

&#x200B;

(\*i got an fish in a structure in the sunken sea that i think is from the crystalline area so there's that, but no progression into other areas.)

&#x200B;

&#x200B;

armor, jewlery, and offhand:

&#x200B;

armor 

scholar's hood

scholar's cloak

paladin pants

&#x200B;

all reinforced, the scholar set gives +24% damage against bosses. i used the paladin pants for 32 armor and +7% dodge chance. 

&#x200B;

if you want to do a pure magic build replace the paladin pants with either ivy's pants for +49 max health & +39% critical hit damage or the sorcerer's pants for +45 max health, +40 magic barrier, +49 max mana, & +17.9% magic damage.

&#x200B;

jewlery

coral amulet

spine ring

ancient guardian ring

&#x200B;

the coral amulet is upgraded at max for the biome but not polished, so its boat speed increase is 12%. the spine ring and ancient guardian ring are not upgraded. they give +28% percent famage against bosses and +18 max health & +7% reduced damage taken from bosses respectively.

&#x200B;

offhand

sentry shield

&#x200B;

it is reinforced and gives you +22 max health, +25 armor, and a stat on the offhand item use that isn't relevant since you cant use them in boats. i just really used this for the extra armor.

&#x200B;

&#x200B;

weapons and tactics:

&#x200B;

weapons (in order of usage)

scholar's staff

arcane staff

tome of sprouts 

&#x200B;

all are reinforced, the arcane staff is upgraded at max for the biome.

&#x200B;

tactics

i used a speeder to move around instead of the bridge technique. i used the scholar staff as the main weapon and occasionally used the arcane staff. for some passive damage i used the tome of sprouts while focusing on dodging in the second phase or a trickier situation. 

&#x200B;

if you'd like to do a pure mage build with no summons then use a sun caller for passive fire damage instead.

&#x200B;

&#x200B;

food items and their important stats:

&#x200B;

tender feather fillet (marbled meat + emerald feather fish)

\+13.3% damage for ten min

\+29 max mana for 10 min

\+21.0% magic damage for 10 min

&#x200B;

rare coral red tulip salad (pink coralotl + golden tulip)

\+8 blue glow for 10 min

\+62 max mana for 10 min

\+45 magic barrier for 10 min

\+2.9 mana for every sec for 10 min

&#x200B;

crystalized dart sushi (silver dart + jasper angle fish)

\+96 max health for 10 min

\+45 armor for 10 min

\+31% critical hit damage for 10 min

&#x200B;

i got the jasper angle fish from a structure luckily! but i think its from the crystalline area so i couldnt just fish it up. if you want the armor buff more use a golden or regular carrock, if you prefer the max health increase use a golden or normal heart berry.

&#x200B;

spicy mold cheese (bomb pepper + puffungi)

\+21.0% movement speed

\+6% reduced damage from bosses for 10 min

&#x200B;

this one isn't the most useful for this battle since its better for quick movement buffs on the floor during slime bosses. movement speed doesn't seem to affect boat speed so i just used this for the reduced damage and i have a lot since they are easy to make. 

&#x200B;

it might be more useful to make a combination of puffungi and golden puffungi or two golden ones for 11% reduced damage taken from bosses + 18% damage against bosses for 1 min or 13% reduced damage taken from bosses + 20% damage against bosses for 1 min respectively.

&#x200B;

&#x200B;

potions:

&#x200B;

mana potions

greater mana potions are preferable, but i didn't really feel the cooldown for the small guys so you probably don't need to go out of your way to craft the big ones. the battle would be a little faster with greater potions though.

&#x200B;

greater healing potions

i used them a couple times, most of the work was done through dodging as the patterns are easy to read for me, also i completely mapped out the sea so i got good at dodging shit with the speeder. for my dodging stat i only dodged twice i think? but my health wasn't at a lethal point in either situation so if you don't have anything in dodge stats it should be fine.

&#x200B;

arcane and guardian potions

i was planning to use these but i forgor. i didn't feel like i needed them though!

&#x200B;

&#x200B;

thats all! keep in mind i explored basically the whole sea and when through like 70% of metroplises so thats why i have a couple of rarer rings and the out of biome fish. theres also probably some stats that my character has the would increase certain aspects of my build but i think even of you aren't super leveled it should help :)

omoroth mage build!
