The Occultist is an Pre-Hardmode mini-boss that appears during a Blood Moon. It deals no contact damage, and upon death, 4 Dreamstride Wisps are released, each dropping a single Dreamstride Essence when killed. After the mini-boss has been defeated, Dreamstride Wisps start naturally spawning during Blood Moons.
The quest "Spectral Scourge" requires the player to defeat one Occultist.
Spawning[ | ]
The Occultist spawns naturally during a Blood Moon, and cannot be summoned manually using in-game items.
Behavior[ | ]
The Occultist behaves similarly to Caster enemies, firing one attack, then teleporting to a different spot near the player. Each attack is randomly selected, though the same attack cannot occur twice in a row.
- Spawns 2 Lost Souls behind itself. Starting out by circling slowly, after 2.67 seconds they pick up a lot of speed and head straight towards to player, homing in slightly. In total, they last for 5 seconds, often well into the Occultist's next attack.
- Sends 5 Dark Grasp projectiles flying horizontally towards the player. These projectiles move quite fast, last for 3 seconds, and can travel through blocks for the first second.
- Spawns 6 Sacrificial Daggers above its head in an arc from roughly horizontal to roughly straight downwards, then all of them fly out quickly at the same time.
- Summons a Brute, who slams their hammer into the ground to create a line of 11 Shockwave effects over the space of 63 blocks, each consecutive one appearing farther from the Occultist.
