I Added a Shimmer Boss to Terraria

I Added a Shimmer Boss to Terraria

If you asked me what’s the biggest thing that Rel logic added in the 1.4.4 update my answer would have to be the Shimmer if you didn’t know it’s a liquid that can be found in its own mini bom and has a variety of uses such as uncrafting items transmuting NPCs and

Stof clocking your world apparently interestingly besides adding a few new recipes not a lot is really been going on with the Shimmer in the modding scene which is understandable I guess after all moders have spent years building up content around the other aspects of the game and I can see why they wouldn’t

Want to go out of their way to add new content to this rather complicated feature that just got added however this situation seems to give me a bit of an advantage you see my mod is still very early in development it doesn’t have any huge projects bogging it down that I

Feel obligated to work on right now in fact I’m simply going through the process of adding random bosses to random biomes with that in mind it seems only fitting that I should leave my mark on this new feature by giving it its very own boss and spoiler alert I

Already did the basic idea is for this boss to serve as a sort of Guardian for the shiver every time you enter The Ether biome as it’s called the boss will immediately spawn and start attacking you this will keep happening until you’ve killed it at least once in which

Case it’ll stop spawning in your world Al together this boss is definitely not my best work per se but I can still say with confidence that it’s a very good boss with no major flaws to my knowledge this will also be the mod’s very first worm boss and seeing how many terrible

Worm bosses there are out there I think I did a pretty good job anyway this would normally be the part where I do an indepth lecture about the boss’s behaviors and abilities but to be honest I think this one is pretty self-explanatory so I’m just going to

Show you an unedited video of the fight then maybe I’ll come back and tell you anything that I didn’t think was Obvious Sh here he O Now you’ve seen the fight so here are a few things you might not have guessed if at any point during the fight you leave The Ether Bond the boss will immediately despawn the boss doesn’t deal contact damage when it’s transparent and it does deal contact damage when it isn’t

Transparent and in the attack where it shoot stars at you at random intervals if the stars touch the Shimmer they’ll turn into purple stars and shoot at you a second time before you go there’s one more thing I’d like to show you the ether Dragon of course is going to need

Some unique Loot and although I haven’t made all of it yet I have made its expert mode drop the item is called the endless Shimmer potion as you might have gathered from the name it’s an infinitely reusable potion that gives you the Shimmer buff allowing you to face through blocks on command this

Might break the game and it might be completely useless I don’t know but I do know that it makes for a pretty decent expert mode reward and with that being said this video is over now I know I didn’t give this boss my highest praise

But like all my bosses it took a lot of passion and effort to make so if you could reimburse me by liking and subscribing I would appreciate it oh yeah and go watch my other videos thank you goodbye

There you have it folks. The dream has finally been realized. The Shimmer finally has its own boss. Subscribe.

This boss is part of a large content mod I’m making that won’t become public until I’ve finished all of its Pre-Hardmode content.
