MorningSTAR-αΩ
Official Terrarian
this be the 2nd of my TO suggestion crossposts. (Book sprites by it's a me!)
Sidenote. Any sprites for the bosses/NPCs/items would be greatly appreciated
Okay so I will make two separate boss suggestion threads (due to having different themes) This one is based on the constellations of the elliptic (Yes including Ophiuchus as well).
General info:
- These bosses can be fought independently of as part of a new event that I will detail later
- The monsters' summoning items require fallen stars, and shroomite bars to craft. with the sign of the respective constellation
- There are 13 bosses total (one of them has 2 mobs)
- Like the early bosses these guys have a chance of spawning once certain conditions are met and they will drop some items, among them being in hardmode.
- Most of the bosses can pass trough walls as part of their AI. the exceptions are the Golden Ram in it's berserk state, Castor and the Lost Girl.
- All of them have a 50% chance of dropping a magic tome with the sign of the respective constellation. They will either have projectile attacks or buffs. the images are,
