Guide: Possessed Spirit
Possessed Spirit will usually be the third boss you fight. It is required to progress, as you cannot summon Plantera without defeating it. Possessed Spirit is a very hard boss the first time you fight it.
Farming Red Bird or Lightning Lizard can be helpful to obtain many Enchantment Books.
400 Health or more is recommended. It can be very helpful to equip the Ghastly Amulet as the extra 1000 health outweights the -50% damage.
Fire Crystal is very recommended as it provides a constant stream of DPS if you are not a mage.
The Tooth of Lightning provides a massive DPS boost for all classes.
It is recommended to use a Unholy Trident. The Shield of Lightning can replace a Ghastly Amulet. Try to use at least Golden Armor / Lightning Armor.
It is recommended to use a Advanced Golden Bow or above paired with an Ecto Glove. Use Lightning Armor. The Flamethrower can be used if obtained.
It is recommended to use the Book of Spirits. There is no real magic equip now, however the Ghastly Amulet is very helpful.
Possessed Spirit only gets really hard in the second / third phases. For the first phase, simply run around the map, don't get stuck, and dodge the projectiles. You can't tank Possessed Spirit due to the Frostbite debuff, which will quickly kill you. Once Possessed Spirit enters its second phase, it basically becomes a DPS rush. Just run around and don't get stuck. Killing the small Lost Spirits may be helpful.
In Expert Mode, when Possessed Spirit enters its third phase, it becomes a real DPS rush, as you basically want to kill Possessed Spirit before Possessed Spirit's projectiles reach you. It is basically impossible to dodge the projectiles in Possessed Spirit's third phase.
