How to Summon the Thanksgiving Boss in Terraria

To summon Turkor the Ungrateful, you'll need some Cursed Stuffing. Luckily, it is dropped by every enemy when the event is active. You'll also need to purchase a Turkey Feather from the Merchant for 10 Gold Coins. Then, using the Turkey Feather, summon the Pet Turkey. Next, use the Cursed Stuffing to summon Turkor and despawn the Pet Turkey. Attempting to do this summoning procedure outside of Thanksgiving will consume both items, but the boss won’t appear.

Turkor the Ungrateful Attacks & Strategies

Turkor the Ungrateful will appear on the summoned location. However, this boss is immobile, except for its floating heads. The body has 7,000 maximum life, and each head has 2,500. At first, Turkor appears with only one floating head. Depleting the boss’ health will make more heads appear over time. Thankfully, the heads are attached to the body, leaving them vulnerable to ranged attacks. So, it’s best to use ranged and magic weapons for this fight. Summoned minions also work well for reducing Turkor’s health. Note that defeating the body first will detach the heads and chase the player until killed. On the other hand, defeating the heads will make the body vulnerable for 25 seconds. During this period, Turkor’s body also receives a defense down debuff, making it easier to kill than usual.
