Bloodshot Eye

"You feel an evil presence gaze through your soul..."


 * Not to be confused with the Eye of Cthulhu, The Pre-Hardmode Boss, or True Eye of Cthulhu, a minion of the Moon Lord.

The Bloodshot Eye is a pre-Hardmode Blood Moon boss. This is the first boss that can be encountered in this mod, as it can be spawned when Necro Casters are killed. It can also be summoned manually with the Bloodied Maw.

While the Bloodshot Eye is alive, it's exclusive theme song Boss 1 (Remix) composed by Musicman will play.

Spawn
The Bloodshot Eye can be summoned manually using a Bloodied Maw during night time. Alternatively, it can be spawned by defeating three Necro Casters during a blood moon.

If the Bloodshot Eye is not defeated before the dawn of the next day, or if all players die or run away while fighting it, it despawns.

Behavior
The Bloodshot Eye has two phases, and is able to fly through blocks in both of them. The boss will also become faster the more health is depleted.

Phase 1


 * The Bloodshot Eye will spawn mutliple Mangled Servant s that cause the boss to become invunerable to damage. These have to be killed first before the boss becomes vunerable.
 * During that, the Eye will attempt to float over the player, shooting blood clots and raining blood, similar to the Crimson Rod.
 * The boss will also ocassionally ram the player, becoming faster as health decreases.

Phase 2


 * If the boss falls under 50% (65% in Expert Mode), the boss will enter it's second phase.
 * It will try to vomit an arching spray of blood at the player that can steal health points.
 * It will also continue to occassionally charge, becoming drastically faster once under 25% life.

In Expert Mode, it will spawn more servants and respawn them once it enters it's second phase. The eye's vomit attack will also inflict Slimed!.

If the boss is not killed before the next day starts, it will simply fly away and despawn, similar to the Eye of Cthulhu.

Tips

 * The boss looks at the player it will follow, which can be helpful information in multiplayer.
 * Using Shurikens can be effective, as they pierce through multiple servants at once.
 * When the Bloodshot Eye is spinning, it is most vulnerable because it cannot attack, except for in Expert mode.

Trivia

 * In the mod's lore, the Bloodshot Eye is a reincarnation of the Eye of Cthulhu, formed by Ra.
 * It is not required to defeat Bloodshot Eye as it has no unique drops required for game progression. It is recommended though, especially in Expert mode due to the Necrosis Stone's respawn time function.
 * It is also highly recommended for rangers to fight this boss as the Umbra and armors crafted are very helpful in progression.
