NPCs & Enemies Mech Brain of Cthulhu

[Andruoff]

The mechanical bosses currently do not have a crimson variant. I think that instead of being able to craft a mechanical worm with vertebrae, you should be able to craft a mechanical spine. This would summon a hardmodified Brain. I recommend keeping with the starting word the and naming the boss, the Mind.

The Mind would have a similar attack pattern to the original brain. A main difference is that the creepers would now be similar to probes. I dub them, Neurons. Instead of firing lasers, they would fire a short ranged but powerful psychic attack. After all of the creepers are defeated, the Mind wold split open, releasing 10-15 Neurons. While the Mind's is being damaged, it will churn out more neurons. The Mind would use some short range psychic attacks after all of the original Neurons are defeated.

The health and defense would also be upped to the standards of a Mechanical boss.

Thanks for reading,
Andruoff

This has been suggested many times before and all those times there has been no support for it.

There's plenty of support for it, Re-Logic just has no interest in implementation.

I thought in Terraria's lore, a Mechanical Brain ISN'T supposed to exist.

The lore is a suggestion, not a commandment

 

[Kassette_Tape]

I think that would be fun and all, but how should it even work?
At least for me, the BoC ends up being a pretty boring fight after a bit.

The lore explains why there isn't a Mechanical Brain.

This is exactly why I was ardently against the commissioning of a lore in the first place. At no point should "lore" ever be used to justify the exclusion of a gameplay element, in anything, ever.

I think it's the other way around, and that line was created as a way of saying "there isn't going to be a Mechanical Brain"

Want mechanical Brain of Cthulhu? Fight Ocram. Yes, he is a mech boss and what other boss in Terraria looks remotely similar to him then BoC.

I dooooon't think you realize how bad of an idea it was to say that.

Ocram no longer exists on every device except old-gen console and 3ds, and they will never update again.

The Destroyer was actually made with both BoC and EoW in mind. The boss itself is based of the EoW and the probes are based on creepers summoned by BoC.

But the Destroyer came before BoC, so it's sort of the other way around. Point standing, no mech brain for now.

Good point
I should have looked into that but that is another reason why there shouldn't be a mech version of the BoC. Adjusting this would be very difficult and cause a lot of bugs.
