If enraged, she will cast a modified version of Ethereal Lance after the dash before resuming her normal pattern (targets where the player is rather than where they will be).When the Empress is below half of her max health, she will disappear for a second then reappear above the next estimated location of the player, adopting a new appearance before executing a new set of attacks, with slightly shorter attack intervals than before: This sequence of attacks repeats indefinitely until the second phase starts. When spawned, the Empress will hover in place for a few seconds before executing the following attacks in order: The Empress has set attack patterns for both of her phases. The first wave travels from the left side of the screen to the right of the player, the second wave from the right side to the left of the player, the third wave from top side to the bottom-right of the player, the fourth wave from top side to bottom-left of the player, the fifth wave from the bottom side to top-right of the player, and the sixth wave from the bottom side to top left of the player. If enraged, there will instead be six waves of swords that target specific points around the player instead of traveling from one side of the screen to the other.The first wave travels from the left side of the screen to the right, the second from right to left, the third wave from top-left to bottom-right, and the fourth wave from top-right to bottom-left. Ethereal Lance 2 - Summons four evenly spaced waves of swords that travel across the screen, telegraphed by colored beams.If enraged, extra swords are summoned, and they will launch faster. These swords are summoned behind where the player was moving, or all around the player if they were stationary. Ethereal Lance - Summons a swarm of swords that launch in the direction the player was headed when they were summoned, telegraphed by colored beams.These stars leave behind a trail of light that will damage the player. Everlasting Rainbow - Releases a ring of 13 stars that slowly spiral out clockwise from her original position, then spiral back inward in the same direction.3 sets of rays are created per sun dance, each positioned slightly further clockwise than the last. Sun Dance - Hovers above and slightly to the left of the player and emits 6 persistent rays of light (8 if enraged) that slowly rotate clockwise around her.She briefly becomes invincible during the attack, removing any Daybreak spears attached to her and marks from whips. This attack is additionally preceded by a sound effect and several images of the Empress spinning around her right before she dashes. Dash Attack - Positions herself to the left or right of the player before charging horizontally in the player’s direction.This version is harder to dodge, and when she is enraged she summons more bolts.

Prismatic Bolts 2 - Fires prismatic bolts in a clockwise spiral, which behave identically to those used in the first variant of the attack.These bolts do not have perfect tracking, and will miss if the player makes a sharp turn as they approach. Prismatic Bolts - Summons a cloud of prismatic bolts that home in on the player after a short delay.If fought in Expert or Master Mode, she will always use her enraged attack pattern, but without the massive damage increase. If night falls (7:30PM) when fought during the day and she is not defeated, she will vanish and drop nothing. While enraged, all of her attacks instantly kill the player regardless of equipment. If fought during the day, the Empress enters an 'enraged' state, indicated by the color of attacks turning a bright yellow.

Like most critters, the Prismatic Lacewing can be caught with any bug net, and can then be released and killed by the player. However, if released outside of the Hallow biome it will despawn near instantly, so it must be placed onto a persisting and damaging projectile or by using a weapon that could attack and kill it before the critter vanishes.Īlthough the Prismatic Lacewing only spawns naturally in worlds where Plantera has been defeated, it is possible to bring one to a Pre-Hardmode world and kill it to summon the boss.

The Prismatic Lacewing can be killed at any time in any biome to summon the boss. The Prismatic Lacewing is one of the few entities that can be detected by the Lifeform Analyzer. The Empress of Light is summoned by killing a Prismatic Lacewing, a rare critter that spawns in the surface Hallow at night between 7:30 PM - 12:00 AM once Plantera has been defeated in the current world.
