The Profaned Goddess has recognised your devotion to purity!

The Profaned Soul Crystal is a craftable post-Moon Lord developer accessory that is also dropped by Providence, the Profaned Goddess if the player defeats her in Expert Mode using only the Profaned Soul Artifact and optionally Golden Gun.

Depending on the time of the day and some other factors the player can inflict or get the following buff / debuffs:

With Angelic Alliance

The Profaned Soul Crystal has two distinct states dependent on whether or not the Exo Mechs and Supreme Witch, Calamitas have been defeated in the world. Before defeating them, the accessory is entirely vanity. After defeating them, the accessory gains extensive combat functionality.

Pre-Exo Mechs and Supreme Witch, Calamitas

While equipped before the Exo Mechs and Calamitas have been defeated, the player is granted several purely aesthetic effects with no functional benefits. The miniature Profaned Guardians from the Profaned Soul Artifact will be summoned, but they will not have any combat behavior and essentially serve as pets. Additionally, the accessory transforms the player into an "emissary of the profaned goddess" over 2 seconds by pulling in energy and profaned rocks. While equipped, it visually grants them holy flame wings, converts their legs into holy flames, and turns their head and body into stone.

Post-Exo Mechs and Supreme Witch, Calamitas

When equipped after the Exo Mechs and Calamitas have been defeated, and the player has at least 10 free minion slots, they will be granted extensive new benefits. Using any non-summon weapon with auto-reuse will instead perform a unique attack depending on the weapon's damage type. All of these attacks deal and scale off of Summon damage.

The miniature Profaned Guardians also become functional, behaving similarly to the Profaned Soul Artifact with some differences:

  • The Offense Guardian, Healer Guardian and Profaned Rocks' base damage are increased to 346.
  • The Offense Guardian has a 50% higher hit rate, but no longer summons spears by itself.
  • The Offense Guardian swaps between three phases:
    • Spears - The Offense Guardian predictively fires a stream of non-piercing spears which deal 50% damage, with a shotgun spread of spears every 5 projectiles.
    • Charges - The Offense Guardian predictively dashes towards the nearest target.
    • Fireballs - The Offense Guardian predictively launches a fireball towards the nearest enemy that splits into several homing flames every 1.67 seconds.
  • While empowered, the Healer Guardian gains offensive functionality, launching 3 waves of holy stars every 3 seconds.
  • 10 Profaned Rocks are summoned from the shield instead of 5.
  • Maximum shield durability is increased to 125, and regeneration rate increased to 31.25 durability per second.

Additionally, while the player has the Profaned Crystal Whip Buff, all of the miniature Profaned Guardians receive buffs to their AIs:

  • The Defense Guardian's rock shield uses predictive aiming towards the nearest target when being launched from the player.
  • The Offense Guardian stays in each attacking phase for longer, and they are empowered further.
    • The spears are fired 25% more frequently with a tighter spread for the shotgun, their damage is also increased to 100% of the Guardian's damage.
    • The holy fireballs are fired in a shotgun spread of 3 instead of 1 and every 1.25 seconds.
    • The charging phase occasionally releases homing spear bursts and very rapidly follows a motion similar to an infinity symbol.
  • When empowered, the Healer Guardian gains a pair of devastating sweeping lasers dealing 500% damage which is fired from the player's location directed towards the nearest target.
    • Every 18 seconds the Healer Guardian will try to reach the player, if two seconds pass or the guardian reaches the player, the lasers will be fired.

Attacks have a chance for the Offense Guardian to perform a Spear Burst, where 12 homing spears to appear outwards from the guardian. Each spear deals 50% of the guardian's damage and will not damage nor home into enemies until 0.83 seconds have passed. The chance for a spear burst to occur, along with other stats is listed below:

While at night, the player will become enraged, empowering some of the weapon attacks with increased fire rates and functional buffs. Additionally, the player and all of the Profaned Soul Crystal's projectiles not including the guardians are alternately colored akin to Providence's projectiles at night. The colouring of the shield also smoothly changes color based on the time of day.

While the player has no other minions, the player becomes empowered, and all day/night benefits are granted regardless of the time of day. Additionally, the remaining weapon types are empowered with increased fire rates and functional buffs, the shield also increases in visual size and intensity of color.

Crafting

Recipe

Notes

  • Though the drop method requires the world to be in Expert Mode, the item can still be crafted in Normal Mode.
  • This accessory and the Profaned Soul Artifact cannot be equipped at the same time, due to the inherited function.
  • This accessory emits a large amount of light while equipped with 10 or more minion slots.
  • If the player dies while this accessory is equipped, their death message will read "<PlayerName> was summoned too soon."
  • Gael's Greatsword retains its Rage Meter buildup and unique Rage Mode attack.
  • Unlike all other whips, the Profaned Soul Crystal does not mandate frequent usage for buff or debuff uptime due to the 30 second durations for both.
  • For the Profaned Soul Crystal to drop from Providence, the player is allowed to damage her with other items, as long as the damage dealt is less than 75.
  • The buff's tooltip before the Exo Mechs and Supreme Witch, Calamitas have been defeated reads "The Profaned Soul Guardians will accompany you."
  • The item's tooltip changes if the Exo Mechs and/or Supreme Witch, Calamitas have not been defeated:
    • If Exo Mechs have not been defeated:
      • "Transforms you into an emissary of the profaned goddess
        The soul within this crystal has been defiled by overwhelming energy waves from dangerous mechanations
        Merchants will reject a defiled soul such as this."
    • If Exo Mechs have been defeated, but Supreme Witch, Calamitas has not:
      • "Transforms you into an emissary of the profaned goddess
        The soul within this crystal has been defiled by the powerful magic of a supreme witch
        Merchants will reject a defiled soul such as this."
  • After the Exo Mechs and Supreme Witch, Calamitas have been defeated:
    • While this accessory is equipped, the player will be exempt from Calamity's nerf to minion damage while holding a non-summon weapon.
    • While the Angelic Alliance is equipped, the mini Profaned Guardians inflict Banishing Fire for 5 seconds on hits.
    • The player takes slightly increased damage over time from God Slayer Inferno, -60 health per second instead of -50.
    • If the player's name is "Amber", "Mishiro", "Nincity", "IbanPlay", "Chen", "LordMetarex", or "Memes", the shield color will alternate between the same colors as the item. These are the names of people who helped contribute to the Profaned Soul Crystal's development and subsequent overhaul.
  • The Devotion buff tooltip changes depending on various circumstances. Those higher in the following list take priority.
    • "The soul within this crystal has been defiled by overwhelming energy waves from dangerous mechanations" (If Exo Mechs have not been defeated)
    • "The profaned soul within has been defiled by the powerful magic of a supreme witch" (If Supreme Witch, Calamitas has not been defeated)
    • "Your profaned soul is constrained by your insufficient summoning powers" (If the player has fewer than ten available minion slots)
    • If none of the above apply, the buff takes up several lines always starting with: "You are an emissary of the profaned goddess now!"
      • The second line is any of the following:
        • "The light of the day empowers your offensive capabilities" (During the day if not submerged in water or honey)
        • "The heat of the lava empowers your offensive capabilities" (If submerged in lava)
        • "The darkness of night cools your flames, empowering your defensive capabilities" (During the night if not submerged in lava)
        • "The water douses your flames, empowering your defensive capabilities" (If submerged in water)
        • "The honey cools your flames, empowering your defensive capabilities" (If submerged in honey)
      • The third line appears during nighttime.
        • "In the absence of the day's warmth, your flames burn brighter"
      • Additional lines appear while the player has no other minion active.
        • "By forgoing any additional minion support, your full potential has been unleashed"
        • "You are the last ace, in the lost hand of this campaign."

Trivia

  • The death message and flame leg design are references to Ragnaros from World of Warcraft.
  • The use of the word "defiled" in the Devotion buff's tooltip is a reference to the dedicatee, MishiroUsui (aka Amber), being the first player to no-hit all bosses while the Defiled Rune was active.
  • The tooltip's quote "Thinking back, it was a boring life" is a reference to the main character of the game Blank Dream, who is named "Mishiro Usui," the dedicatee's namesake.
  • The buff tooltip's quote "You are the last ace, in the lost hand of this campaign." is a reference to 'Rivers In The Desert', a boss theme from the video game Persona 5.
  • This accessory actually has a unique rarity but is referred to here as Hot Pink for consistency between accessories.
    • This unique rarity alternates between amber (#FFA600 ●) and emerald (#19FA19 ●) colors.
