Golem
hi
With Master Mode incoming, I propose a list of mechanics/enemy changes that could be added in Master Mode to make
it feel a little bit more difficult (more than just increasing enemy stats obv).
post currently under heavy construction, it's going to be big!

Wandering Eye
Now dashes like Eye of Cthulhu once iris is smacked out.
Werewolf
Inflicts Bleeding 100%.
Clown
Clowns are able to break blocks again with their bombs >: ) classic.
Infected Goldfish
Now walk during the rain and attack the player.
Sandstorm Enemies
Inflict Heat Stroke 10%. (Explained further on)
While iris is still attached, occasionally spins around rapidly shooting out multiple Servants of Cthulhu
.
With the iris detached, Eye of Cthulhu immediately starts doing its enraged charging, occasionally spinning around releasing multiple Demon Eyes.
Eater of Worlds is now spawned as two full sized Eater of Worlds. Will no longer get stunned when broken apart and keep the momentum.
Creepers occasionally fire a blood beam at the player dealing minor damage, making the first phase of the BoC fight appropriately harder.
When the heart is exposed, the clones it creates are immediately nearly-indistinguishable but also starts further away before charging from the player to
give the player some more time to react/spot the differences in opacity.
Now has four hands.
Stops mid-air and lets out a roar, making all nearby Hive blocks release 1-3 bees each. If there are no Hive Blocks in range (~50m), Queen Bee
becomes enraged, rapidly dashing from left to right endlessly at a nearly unavoidable rate.
Ninja inside throws shuriken constantly.
Now inflicts Slimed.
The center mouth will be replaced with a larger eye that fires additional lasers
The wall's health is divided into three parts, one third is each eye, the bottom and top most likely being harder
to hit due to the space constraints in the Underworld.
Once a part hits 50% health, it turns into a mouth that will rapidly spew Leeches that move at an increased speed and will not drop hearts.
Once a part is destroyed, a large amount of Hungry spawn at the wound.
When head spin begins, lets loose a slow wave of electricity that causes Electrified 100%.
The player will be forced to move to avoid the massive head spin damage.
Bomb Arm replaced with a Heat-Seeking Missile arm.
Laser shots pass through blocks, has certain sporadic periods of invulnerability where if the Destroyer is hit, the damage will be
reflected back to the attacking player.
(since Daedalus Stormbow with Holy Arrows takes a long period to stop the attack, users of this strategy will take massive damage)
Spazmatism/Retinazer will line and lock itself up with the player at opposite sides and dash at an almost unavoidable speed after a couple seconds, the only
way to avoid being to go parallel to the attack. It continues
lining up with the player in each direction (up down left right)
^^^
Retinazer and Spazmatism will alternate these moves.
Spazmatism (Green one) will now do Eye of Cthulhu dashes once iris is gone
Retinazer will now dash nearly as fast as teleportation to the diagonal corners of the players and shoot lasers all around them in a box formation.
Plantera's "Arms" are now physical objects and now deal damage. When bulb opens up, a large amount of spores
get flung into the air, unable to be
destroyed now from any attacks.
Will now jump through blocks to reach the player anywhere on the map to prevent cheesing, hands will now travel much slower when punching
but will not retract when damaged to disallow stun-locking.
Golem's Lasers will now inflict Electrified 10%
Second Phase Golem will now be comprised of two defeatable parts. The body and the now detached head.
If the head is defeated first, the body will become enraged and begin to rapidly jump up and down with barely any lag in
between jumps.
If the body is defeated first, the head will become enraged and begin to spit fireballs and shoot lasers at an astounding rate.
This will encourage health management for the fight, trying to defeat them simultaneously.
The Body's health will be thrice as great as the Head's.
Duke Fishron will be surrounded with Detonating Bubbles at all points in time, regenerating them every 20 seconds.
When Detonating Bubbles pop, they will now release smaller Detonating Bubbles that will race towards the player, these smaller bubbles
can also be popped with attacks.
For second phase, Fishron will be accompanied by a school of Sharkron
, around eight will cover his body and swim along with him.
Fishron will also be 100% invisible during this phase, the only visible entities being the Sharkron that swim over his body and his glowing eyes.
Once a Sharkron around Duke is killed, it will be promptly fired at the player as an invulnerable missile.
These Sharkron will not respawn once killed.
All attacks inflict Wet.
For Lunar Cultist upgrade, look no further than Derpling Ω 's post:
Lunar Cultist Master Mode Rework
Now inflicts:
With appropriate attacks
For this boss, I feel like it shouldn't be messed with tbh, I have faith in the Dev Team they'll either do Moon Lord good, or have an actual
final boss to wrap things up.
My only suggestion would be for it to be a sort of "Boss Rush" where an enhanced version of Eye of Cthulhu, Brain of Cthulhu, and Eater of Worlds are spawned
to fight a one on one battle with, these enhanced versions would be recolored a nice blue tint to match the Moon Lord and would not drop anything.

to fight a one on one battle with, these enhanced versions would be recolored a nice blue tint to match the Moon Lord and would not drop anything.
Desert Mechanics
First on the list is adding a new block into the game called
Quicksand
(Left= Regular Sand Right= Quicksand)
This block would be naturally spawning only in a Master Mode world, but is still craftable in any other world:
x1 +
or
=
x1
Just the same as making Mud, Sand and a water source gets you a Quicksand block.
This is how the Quicksand block will function, if the player steps into it, then the player will begin to slowly sink unless the [JUMP] key is pressed
fast enough to escape it.
Quicksand is only active if: a water source is 10 blocks away or closer
or if: it is raining
Here is an example of a Quicksand pit, note the slightly darker color in the pit as well as it being sunken-in
rather than on a flat area.
Antlions will only spawn in these Quicksand pits.
Naturally spawned Quicksand can also only be broken with a 65%+ pickaxe (same as a Desert Fossil) and is unable to be effected by Bombs.
Crafted Quicksand can be broken as easily as sand, however.
Heat Stroke
Inflicted by:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Heat Stroke Effect:
Causes screen to do the "Desert Heat Wave Distortion" except slightly more exaggerated no matter the biome.
Reduces speed by the same amount as Chilled
------------------------------------------------------------------
Heat Stroke is a longer debuff that can stay on the player for up to a full minute, a harsh punishment given the Desert is already
a harsh place.
Heat Stroke can be instantly cured by drinking a Water Bottle or entering a Water Source (or of course the Nurse).
Buff/Debuff Mechanics
Bleeding not only stops health regen, but deals 2 dps.
During a Blood Moon the damage dealt per second by Bleeding is doubled.
Now deals double dps to entities with Slimed and will not be expunged by water.
Can now be healed with Wet debuff.
Venom now deals 8 dps instead of 6 dps.
Keeping perfectly still will slow the spread of venom in your body, making it deal only 3 dps.
Now also increases the use time of all items by 5.
Now also increases the use time of all items by 3
Can only be healed by receiving the On Fire! and Cursed Flame debuff or receiving the Cozy Fire buff.
Player now has to rapidly click to break out of the debuff, each keeping their respective elements.
Electrified usually does 4 dps while still and 16 dps while moving.
This dps is doubled while the player also has the "Wet" debuff.
Is now received from a greater slew of sources. (see enemy changes above)
Now can be received from a vast majority of sources including Water Sources. (see enemy changes above)
Rain causes an irremovable Wet Debuff that only goes away once indoors.
Wet grants immunity to On Fire!
Slime Mount stomping now gives this debuff, Slimed has no effect on its own but allows
On Fire and Cursed Flame to deal double dps and to be inextinguishable.
Slimed is now received by a greater variety of sources. (see enemy changes above)
No longer increases player damage.
Cancels ALL healing including from potions, player must actively drink potions at the appropriate time or they will heal 0 health and get
Potion Sickness.
