Auroracle is a Pre-Hardmode Boss fought in the Aurora Temple.

Spawn

Auroracle does not spawn naturally and is summoned by throwing the Suspicious Looking Offering into the water within the Aurora Temple.

Behavior

Auroracle will float around the arena, using its 4 Tentacles and Rainbow Ink to attack the player.

Phase 1

Auroracle will summon 4 Tentacles, 2 of which will need to be killed to damage the boss. When it reaches 2,000/3,000 /4,000 health, the second phase will activate.

Attacks

• Auroracle will fire up one of its four tentacles four times in a row, which can only be damaged when they retreat.
  • Master Mode: It will fire 2 Aurora Shards on each side of the tentacle that deals 30 damage.
• Auroracle will move above the player and fire down Ink Blobs that deal 10 damage.
  • Master Mode: The Ink Blobs will be fired faster.
• Auroracle will move to the center of the arena and fire out 4 Rainbow Ink twice, higher the second time, which does 10 damage and is affected by gravity.
  • Master Mode: It will fire out 2 Aurora Shards on each side upwards on the second blast that deals 30 damage.
• Auroracle will move to the center of the arena and spawn several Auroralings.
• Auroracle will bring two of its tentacles together, one being vulnerable, and then go below the player and start firing Aurora Shards up at the player that deal 20 damage.
  • Master Mode: Auroracle will also fire two Ink Blobs that twist together and deal 20 damage.
• Auroracle will hold 2 of its tentacles out of portals, while the last one swipes across the screen, and then one vulnerable one will come out of the third portal.
  • Master Mode: Each tentacle will fire out 2 Ink Blobs sideways after the tentacle swipes that deal 10 damage and are affected by gravity.

Phase 2

The water will raise to encompass the bottom half of the lower part of the arena. The 2 remaining Tentacles will need to be killed to damage the boss. When it reaches ? health, the third phase will activate.

Attacks

• Auroracle will fire a line of Aurora Shards that deal 10 damage in a line beside itself and fire them up at the player.
  • Master Mode: Auroracle will fire a second line of Aurora Shards.
• Auroracle will move beneath the player and fire 6 Ink Blobs that twist around eachother and deal 10 damage.
  • Master Mode: Auroracle will fire an extra two Ink Blobs first.
• Auroracle will move to one side of the arena beneath the player and fire a Laser that deals 10 damage upwards that the player dodges by placing blocks in the blue squares that appear.
  • Master Mode: Auroracle now moves faster and there are only three small places to place blocks.
• Auroracle will leap out of the water with two of its tentacles to its side and fire out 6 Ink Blobs that deal 10 damage in all directions.
  • Master Mode: Auroracle will fire Ink Blobs twice.

Phase 3

At this point, the water will consume the lower part of the arena, and the water will raise further until Auroracle has been defeated, with it now being able to be damaged directly.

Attacks

• Auroracle will fire out a Tentacle from the sides of the arena, firing four tentacles at the end from both sides.
