Uber Mobs
Uber Mobs are a new type of mob added in the 3.1 update. Each planet has its own Uber mob that is summoned by finding and activating their altar. They are double the size of a normal mob and some can call on minions to help them out. When they are destroyed, they drop the altar jewel in addition to their loot. This can be attacked and destroyed.
These mobs are not to be taken lightly and you must have proper armor and weapons needed in order to tackle them.
Tips
Due to the way mobs react to weapons, as well as the fact that weapons can be continually spammed like tools to deal massive damage in a short amount of time, one can find these uber mobs easy to kill and do so very quickly.
Armor
One of the easiest reliable armor to obtain early in the game is the Cured Blue Leather Armor. Each set gives a collective total of 28% defence to all types of damage, 25% bonus attack damage of all types, and a total of 40% movement in any aspect, allowing for decent defence and reliable movement.
Weapon
One of the easiest and most powerful weapons to obtain is the Ivory Sword. Its ingredients are 4 Ivory Bones and a single Gold Ingot. Ivory bones are very abundant in the planet Yuca.
Destroying bones found on the surface will yield one or more ivory bones and very easily craft an Ivory Sword. This sword deals 2.3 slash damage, similar to a Titanium Sword, has 400 durability points and has a range of 3 blocks.
What makes this an excellent weapon to use against uber mobs is the fact that it has .20 life steal, adding the very fast rate of clicking when attacking a mob will deal massive damage and practically no damage to you in return.
Surroundings
Pay absolute attention to your surroundings before fighting. Make sure that caves around you are lit up with torches as Uber Mobs have the ability to destroy blocks around you. If an uber mob destroys a dark cave, you might get swarmed with mobs that will heavilly distract you from the uber mob and potentially kill you. Likewise, an uber mob can burst an acid or lava pocket and start pouring lava. Worst case scenario is that you kill the uber mob above a lava flow and burn its items away. Lastly, an uber mob can destroy blocks below you. Should a cave be beneath it, you might fall to your death.
Battle
Make sure the place is relatively flat with a few elevated blocks. Fight the uber mob a few blocks in an elevated position to reach its minions easier and kill them faster. Also remember to make a wall opposite to where you are in order to corner him and allow yourself to spam click the uber mob until its death.
Simply put, its ideal to fight the uber mob in a closed space, with your side having enough space to retreat when needed.
With these reasons stated, it is imperative that you check your surroundings before you start a fight.

Altars
Uber Mob Altars are found very rarely underground on all planets, either in Adventure Mode or in Stand-Alone Worlds. There are on average 4-5 per normal world and emit a faint white light. Only Mithril Hammers or other hammers of higher quality can destroy altars. When an altar is being broken, the screen will shake. Once altars are broken, the Uber Mob of the respective world you're on will appear and start to attack you. Killing an Uber Mob will drop one of its 5 item sets and a potion, and the altar jewel will appear, which can be killed again. Its significance is still unknown, however, it appears to be the same jewel inside of the corresponding altar.
Terra
Kelsior
Description
Kelsior is a giant golden knight armed with a pink sword found on Terra. It resembles the Gold Skeleton Knight that spawns in underground Libraries. The name Kelsior is most likely made up and shows no connection to knights in general.
Battle Info and Tips
Once the Altar is broken, Kelsior wiill spawn along with pink bats. He will then start to throw projectiles in your direction. These projectiles can destroy blocks and items placed by the player.
The proper way to deal with this Uber Mob is to have the following:
-Weapon with life steal
-Armor with more than 10% defence
-More than 80 Health
-(Optional) Potions
-(Optional) Food
As soon as Kelsior is spawned, quickly kill as many bats as you can. You shouldnt worry about the damage you might receive as your lifesteal will quickly regenerate your lost health. Once all the bats are taken care off, quickly drive Kelsior to a wall and spam your sword until he finally dies. Again, the damage you might receive from his projectiles wont matter because of your lifesteal. If youre still having trouble with this boss, bringing potions to buff your character up and some emergency food may help.
It may be ideal to place a bed a few blocks above the location to quickly retrieve items and/or return to battle in the event that you die.

Horus
Description
Horus resembles the ancient Egyptian god [Horus], associated with mummification. Horus and can be found on Seth. Horus appears to be an Egyptian deity with the head of a Bird and the body of a man.

Battle Info and Tips
Horus spawns with a number of squid-like mobs around him, much like Kelsior. He also shoots projectiles that can damage and destroy blocks, much like Kelsior. As such, a proper prepation is similar.
-Weapon with life steal
-Armor with more than 10% defence
-More than 80 Health
-(Optional) Potions

Like Kelsior, as soon as he spawns, quickly kill off the squid-like mobs that spawn with him. Once this is done, quickly drive him to a corner, make quick work of him by using your weapon with life steal until he dies.

Webclaw
Description
Webclaw is a Giant Blue Spider that can be found on Alba. This seems out of the ordinary however, since Blue Spiders are found on Xeno. It is also inaccurate to call Webclaw a spider since it only has four eyes and five legs. Webclaw cannot climb so building a room with platforms will suffice as an arena. Webclaw does not use his weapon, so it relies on its minions and spitting web-like projectiles.
