Queen bee glitch

So, I was digging underground when my screen said, "The queen bee has awoken!" I was away from my house, so I teleported back using a magic mirror. Soon the boss music started at my house, And I ran away. (My house is not at an jungle.) But she followed me! I died on purpose to get her to despawn, but she was still there! What Do I do?

Solution 1:

The Queen Bee spawns when one of her Larvae is destroyed. Larvae can be destroyed by anything that would destroy a pot, so that includes underground traps and stray projectiles. Rarely, world generation itself will not spawn the Larvae correctly, which then auto-breaks immediately upon loading into the world or if you get close enough to its location.

Under normal circumstances, the Queen Bee will not despawn on her own, even if you die to her. One way to force her to despawn would be to save+quit out of your world, then go back in. Since enemies are unloaded when you quit, the Queen Bee should be gone.

Solution 2:

This is not a glitch. The Queen Bee was intentionally designed this way, and if you look at the Terraria wiki, you'll see this point in the trivia section:

Unlike other bosses, Queen Bee will not despawn if the player dies.

So the only way to get rid of her is to kill her or wait for her to despawn herself.
