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.


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.
