An empty chance means the game has no random roll for it.

How to fight it

How it appears

  • Summon item: Celestial Sigil. Use it in Hardmode after Golem, with no enemies near. A countdown of 720 ticks follows.
  • Without an item: It comes 3,600 ticks after the last of the four celestial pillars dies.

What beating it changes

  • The Lunar Events end.
  • On the first defeat the credits roll.
  • Pillar shields are half as strong in later Lunar Events.
  • Lantern Nights can start by themselves (1 in 14 nights when off cooldown).
