Saros Possession is a craftable post-Moon Lord summon weapon that is a direct upgrade to Sirius. It summons a spinning radiant aura around the player that fires two homing flares towards enemies. Homing radiant orbs will occasionally be summoned from a random position near the aura, alongside a wave of three flares. Summoning the Saros Possession will consume 8 minion slots.

Its best modifier is Ruthless. The Mythical modifier provides the widest array of stat bonuses, but these primarily affect the initial summon rather than the resulting minion. Additionally, minions cannot deal critical hits. The only lasting advantage a Mythical Saros Possession has over a Ruthless one is knockback.

Notes

  • The player glows incredibly bright while the radiant aura is summoned.

Trivia

  • The sprites for both the staff itself and the minion it summons are references to The Radiance, a boss in the video game Hollow Knight.
  • A saros is a period of roughly 6,585 days, which can be used to predict eclipses.
