Bosses

Bosses are aggressive, resilient enemies that offer a substantial challenge to players. Defeating a boss is usually instrumental in advancing the game in some way. Each has its own particular way of being summoned. For example, most bosses have associated summoning items that can be used to spawn them manually under certain conditions, while there are others that will appear after the player interacts in a certain way with the environment. Event bosses will only appear during their respective events and leave when the event ends. Mini-bosses also exist and spawn naturally in various biomes under various conditions, which pose a lesser yet still difficult challenge for unsuspecting players.

The Calamity Mod expands on the number of bosses that can be challenged throughout the game, each featuring unique AI and drops. Most require the use of boss summoning items in order to spawn, but others have more unique prerequisites. The initial defeat of bosses (both vanilla and Calamity) typically results in some form of change within the world, be it new enemies appearing or a meteor crash, indicated by status messages to direct players towards the new content. Many also drop lore entries, usually explanations about what they are and why they exist. The mod currently adds twenty-seven new boss encounters.

The Calamity Mod's new difficulty modes, Revengeance Mode and Death Mode, increase the challenge even further, often to levels that require rigorous training and complete knowledge of the boss fights.

Most bosses in Calamity are designed to be more difficult than those of vanilla Terraria, offering a challenge even to seasoned players, but are not required to progress through the vanilla game's content. To make up for this, they often drop more powerful equipment and open up new tiers of progression. During an active boss fight, the Boss Zen debuff will activate, which reduces enemy spawn rates, and the boss health bar will appear on-screen so the player can always keep track of their progress through the fight.

After the player has killed the Moon Lord, a whole new level of progression is unlocked, containing several very powerful bosses that will push the game's mechanics to their limits. These serve to test the player's skill and game knowledge and allow for additional tiers of weapons and items beyond what Terraria's endgame has to offer.

Unprepared players will find these bosses to be spectacularly difficult, but if proper preparations are made, all of them can be defeated at their respective level of progression. Players are advised to make use of arenas, potions and any other kind of aid they can muster before confronting these challenging bosses.

It is summoned with a Desert Medallion in the Desert, and does not spawn naturally. While it is intended to be one of the first bosses fought and has a relatively simple AI, its intimidating size and speed can easily overwhelm an unprepared player. It becomes a greater threat in Revengeance Mode, where two smaller Desert Scourges join it in the fight, and it is able to fire a barrage of sand bolts from its segments.

Boss Summoning Items

The Calamity Mod changes most vanilla boss summoning items to be non-consumable: Slime Crown, Suspicious Looking Eye, Worm Food, Bloody Spine, Abeemination, Mechanical Eye, Mechanical Worm, Mechanical Skull, and Celestial Sigil.

Calamity adds three additional summoning items for vanilla bosses: Portabulb for Plantera, Old Power Cell as a reusable summon for Golem, and Eidolon Tablet for Lunatic Cultist. Recipes for the Guide Voodoo Doll, Lihzahrd Power Cell, and Truffle Worm are also added.

Some boss summoning items are sold by Town NPCs after that boss has been defeated in the world.

NPC	Item		Price
