The Entropy's Vigil is a Hardmode summon weapon that is dropped by the Calamitas Clone. When used with two or more minion slots, it summons 3 miniature clones of Calamitas Clone and her brothers, Catastrophic Construct and Cataclysmic Construct (named Calamitamini, Catastromini, and Cataclymini respectively). If the player has only one minion slot, then only Calamitamini will be summoned. All minions can move through tiles but cannot attack through them.

Each minion will attack nearby enemies by using their own unique method of attack against them:

• Calamitamini stays at a close distance near the enemy and fires non-piercing brimstone lasers that accelerate as they travel.
• Catastromini repeatedly charges into enemies to deal damage to them.
• Cataclymini stays at a close distance near the enemy and breathes brimstone flames that pierce twice.

Both the lasers and flames inflict the Brimstone Flames debuff.

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 Entropy's Vigil has over a Ruthless one is knockback.

Notes

• Although the weapon summons 3 minions, they only take up 2 minion slots.
• Attempting to summon more minions than the limit will only summon Calamitamini without the brothers.
  • Therefore, the player should be careful when summoning the minions as fewer brothers may be summoned.
• The weapon is very similar to the Optic Staff, that each summoned minion uses similar attacks performed by Calamitas Clone and her brothers; however, Entropy's Vigil does offer certain advantages over the Optic Staff.

Tips

• This weapon can be extremely powerful on stationary and big targets.

Trivia

• This weapon can be considered an indirect upgrade to the Optic Staff.
• Just like the Optic Staff, the eyes retain some of their original name with "-mini" at the end.
