Solar Eclipse

Solar Eclipses

Solar eclipses has been introduced in the 1.2 update. They happen in hardmode, and are announced at the beginning of a day, lasting from sunrise to sunset. During the Solar eclipse the light will be only slightly better than at night, the moon in front of the sun. During this day a great number of exclusive Enemies will spawn like the Reaper, The Thing from the Swamp, Vampires, The Eyezor and possibly others. As all of these have great HP and Hit damage and some of them special features that make fighting them extremely hard. Doing any other task during this is as good as impossible. This event seems to have a "Halloween" atmosphere to it, As Frankenstein and vampires are usually linked to Halloween.
