Fast Roar

"Some semblance of a God's mind may survive death, like the twitches of a crushed insect."

The Hive Mind is a Pre-Hardmode boss, intended to be fought after the Eater of Worlds has been defeated.

It is the Corruption counterpart to The Perforators.

Spawn

The Hive Mind is summoned by killing a Hive Tumor in The Corruption.

After its defeat, the player can craft a Teratoma to summon it instantly, at any time.

Behavior

The Hive Mind is stationary in all of Phase 1, summoning Corruption-themed enemies at intervals based on its life. In Phase 2, it starts drifting slowly toward the player while performing various attacks.

The Hive Mind enrages outside The Corruption or on the Surface. Each condition reduces the burrow time by one second in Phase 1. In Phase 2, speed is increased, and attack transition time is decreased.

Attacks

Phase 1

• Remains stationary where it was spawned and immediately summons 5 / 6 / 7 / 15 Hive Blobs by its side.
  • Hive Blobs stick close to The Hive Mind and fire Vile Clots every 6 seconds as long as they are farther than 5 tiles away from the player.
  • Hive Blobs can either have 50 or 75 health.
• Burrows into the ground and reemerges near the player every 9 / 8 / 7 / 5 seconds to prevent them from straying too far away.
  • Hive Blobs will fade in and out with The Hive Mind and they cannot fire projectiles until they are fully visible.
• Has a 1/150 and 1/60 chance to spawn Devourers and Eaters of Souls respectively when it takes damage.
• Summons 2-3 / 3-4 / 4 / 5 Hive Blobs or Dank Creepers at 95%, 90%, and 85% health.
  • Dank Creepers slowly accelerate towards the player.
  • There can only be up to 1 / 1-2 / 2 / 2-3 Dank Creepers summoned at once.

Phase 2

• Transitions to Phase 2 at 80% health and all remaining Hive Blobs that were spawned in Phase 1 will be killed.
• Slowly drifts towards the player for 8-10 / 5-7 / 4.5-6.5 / 4-6 seconds.
• Lets out a higher pitched roar then dashes directly at the player while fading out and spawns a Dank Creeper, Devourer, and Eater of Souls.
  • If the Hive Hind gets hit or the player is too close to it, it will take less time to teleport.
  • These enemies will not be spawned again until they are killed.
• After fully fading out, it teleports away from the player and repeats its attack.

In Expert Mode

• Fires vile spit while teleporting in Phase 1 and during the drift phase in Phase 2.
  • Does not fire vile spit if the player is close to it.
  • Vile Spit fired from The Hive Mind will always inflict the Weak debuff for 1 second, with a 50% chance to inflict it for 2 seconds, a 20% chance to inflict it for 12 seconds, and a 10% chance to inflict it for 1 minute.
• When a Dank Creeper is killed, it spawns a Shade Nimbus, which lasts 6 seconds and rains shade every 0.75 seconds.
• When below 25% health, Dank Creepers will attempt to fly above the player and kill themselves, spawning a shade nimbus while doing so.
• In Phase 2, it drifts for less time and moves faster as its health lowers.
• After every 2 drift-dashes, the next teleport will be closer to the player. It will fully fade in while circling the player, lunge at them when at full opacity, and then slow down and drift towards the player.

In Revengeance Mode

• Fires vile spit more frequently.
• Drift-dashes no longer spawn enemies.
• Spin-lunges occur after every drift-dash.
• Gains a new attack below 53% health. It appears below the player, flies in a semi-circle while spawning a Dank Creeper, Dark Heart, Devourer, and Eater of Souls, then slows down and drifts towards the player.
  • Dark Hearts fly above the player and rain shade as they move, and they will attempt to stay ahead of the player.
  • This attack occurs between each spin-lunge attack.
  • These enemies will not be spawned again until they are killed.
• Gains another new attack below 27% health. It appears above the player, dashes horizontally while spawning 10 Shade Nimbuses, then slows down and drifts towards the player.
  • This attack is randomly arranged with the spin-lunge and semicircle-dash attacks and is never performed twice in a row.

In Death Mode

• Fires vile spit more frequently.
• Moves very quickly and teleports extremely often in Phase 2.
• Has increased base drift speed and receives a speed boost as its health lowers.
• Can use all attacks at 53% health.
• Dark Hearts have a higher velocity and acceleration and rain shade even faster.

In Master Mode

• Fires vile spit more frequently.
• Hive Blobs fire vile clots faster and their projectiles travel faster.
• Drifts towards the player faster and spends less time while drifting.
• Its teleport timer in Phase 2 accelerates even faster when getting hit and teleports faster.
• Fires vile spit while circling the player before charging and charges faster.
• Dank Creepers charge faster.

On the For the worthy seed

• Spin-lunges and Dark Heart shaderains happen twice as fast.
• Dank Creeper health increased to 360 / 720 .
• Dark Heart health increased to 600.
• Hive Blob health increased to 400.
• Hive Blobs hover further from The Hive Mind.
• Hive Blob vile clot projectiles are faster.
• Twice the amount of Hive Blobs can exist at once.
• Shade nimbuses create significantly more rain.

Aftermath

• The status message "The sky is glittering with cyan light" displays, indicating that Disenchanted Aerialite Ore on Floating Islands is converted into Aerialite Ore and can now be mined.
• Aero Slimes begin spawning in the Space layer.
• Sky Crates will contain Aerialite Ores and Aerialite Bars.

Notes

• During phase 1, The Hive Mind won't deal or take any damage while burrowing until it fully emerges.
• During phase 2, The Hive Mind won't deal contact damage while it is teleporting and not fully opaque, but it can still be damaged.

Tips

For elaborate strategies on defeating The Hive Mind, including Weapon and Arena recommendations, see Guide:The Hive Mind strategies.

• Leaving The Corruption will enrage The Hive Mind, making it more deadly.
  • Stay in The Corruption underground, as being on the surface will still enrage the boss, even if the player is in The Corruption.
    • Keep this in mind if building an arena; building too close to the surface may take the player out of the underground.
• Be wary of The Hive Mind's summons, making sure to clear them out every so often, as they can easily overwhelm the player if left unattended.
  • During phase 1, The Hive Mind will summon a swarm of minions at 95%, 90% and 85% health. Keep this in mind while dealing heavy damage, as fighting off more than one swarm at a time can be overwhelming.
  • Phase 2 can be extremely chaotic, so clearing out all minions before starting the phase can be greatly helpful.
    • The Hive Blobs will instantly despawn upon entering phase 2, so it is best to focus on the other remaining minions.
  • The Dark Hearts' projectiles can cause a lot of damage if the player is not concentrated on dodging them.
• The player can fight The Hive Mind at the start of the game, though it is not recommended to fight this boss until the Eater of Worlds is defeated, as its high speed and attack pattern can easily overwhelm an unprepared player.
• During Hardmode, The Hive Mind can be fought to get a large amount of Cursed Flames. This is a highly effective way to get Cursed Flames in a Crimson world, as The Hive Mind can be fought on a Corruption island.

Trivia

• The Hive Mind's theme is The Filthy Mind, which was composed by the artists DM DOKURO and SixteenInMono.
  • The Filthy Mind is the first of three collaborations with DM DOKURO and SixteenInMono, the other two being Blood Coagulant and Return to Slime . These themes are for The Perforators and The Slime God, respectively.
• The Hive Mind's current fight was designed and programmed by former developer Terry N. Muse, making it the only boss in the mod that was designed and programmed by someone else rather than the mod's owner, Fabsol.
• The Hive Mind could be considered the Corruption's version of the Brain of Cthulhu, while The Perforators could be considered the Crimson's version of the Eater of Worlds.
• If the Boss Checklist Mod is installed, its unique despawn message will be "The Hive Mind flits away to brood elsewhere."

• The Bestiary entry for the The Hive Mind: "Although Yharim's campaign would one day span the entire world, it all started in these lands with the massacre of ruthless dictator deities. As soon as their leaders fell at the hands of the Godseeker, their armies toppled like dominos. A hive mind cannot function without its brain, after all."
