For one player in a world before Hardmode. Expert and Master scale life, attack, knockback and coins by the game's own multipliers.

An empty chance means the game code has no random roll for it.
How to fight it
How it appears
- Summon item:
Celestial Sigil. Use it in Hardmode after Golem, with no enemies near. A countdown of 720 ticks follows. - Without an item: It comes 3,600 ticks after the last of the four celestial pillars dies.
What beating it changes
- The Lunar Events end.
- On the first defeat the credits roll.
- Pillar shields are half as strong in later Lunar Events.
- Lantern Nights can start by themselves (1 in 14 nights when off cooldown).
