Some powerful enemies like that dungeon guy can create their own arenas. You won't be able to escape, so make full use of the room you do have.

Eternity Mode Lunatic Cultist is a Hardmode boss. He is a more powerful version of Lunatic Cultist with more attacks and new behavior.

Behavior

This topic is a WIP

Phase 1

Lunatic Cultist behaves similar to his original counterpart albeit with some new abilities:

Removed contact damage from Cultist himself

Summoning ritual produces an arena of lasers that prevents player escape

The player is now in the middle of the ritual while the cultists circle and track the player

The arena is respawned as the ritual in the middle whenever a ritual starts and keeps moving with the player until the ritual is over

Both the Phantasm Dragon and Ancient Vision are spawned if the player does not choose the correct cultist

Cultist clones do not disappear even if the correct cultist is chosen

Cultist clones have new supporting attacks based on Lunatic Cultist's attack:

1. Homing fireballs support is Solar Fragments shot by each clone

1. Ice Mist support is Frost Waves shot by each clone

1. Lightning orb support is a bolt of lightning shot by each clone

1. Ancient Light support is a rain of Flow Invader shots

1. Ancient Doom support is nebula spheres shot by each clone

Phantasmal Dragon inflicts Curse of the Moon, Clipped Wings, and Mutant Nibble

Ancient Doom has 2500 life, spins about as it spawns in, and doesn't deal contact damage.

Phase 2

Enters phase 2 at 50% HP.

Cultists spin around the player faster

Shoots a slow-moving ring of fireballs instead of fast homing ones. No Solar Fragments support in phase 2

Lightning orb support is vortex portals that hover above the player and rain down bolts

Ice Mist support is an extremely fast burst of Frost Waves on both sides of the player

Ritual also summons a Celestial Pillar that Lunatic Cultist slam dunks on the player which explodes into 3 rings of celestial fragment projectiles. The pillar is selected based on how much damage he has taken from each class throughout the fight.

Masochist Mode

• It can slam dunk pillars in phase 1
• Clones immediately shoots ice wave when performing ice mist.
• Clones shoots more solar flare when performing fireball attack.
• Clones shoots thick lightning during lightning bolt attack instead of vortex portals.
• Up to 12 clones can be active at the same time.

Tips

The real Lunatic Cultist (left) and the decoy (right) in Eternity Mode.

• The real Lunatic Cultist can be distinguished from its decoys in a number of ways:
  • The real Cultist has a sharper eye, while the decoys have square eyes.
  • The real Cultist emits light.
  • The decoys are slightly transparent.
• During the second phase summoning ritual, using autopause can help you find the correct cultist.
