I’ve been exploring on a new planet, so of course meteors like to follow me. I hate meteor combat, so I’ve tried: waiting in the Sanctum, running 2 biomes away, and --most often-- getting killed.
But the meteor never seems to go dormant. I’ve been in several death loops, before I give up and warp home.
Try killing a mob first and then running away.
You have to get the “meteor life” for running out of range of the meteor to work and make it go dormant
Also on a chill world a ruby bow would be the best one to use
