Weekly Special
The Terraria Fan Ideas wiki presents......... the Midas!

Credit for the sprite goes to and credit for the idea goes to.

Enjoy!

Midas Midas is a miniboss that spawns when a Golden Altar is broken. He is very fast and can jump very high. In addition, when he touches the player, they will be get the 'Goldified' and 'Midas' debuffs for 5 seconds and 2 minutes, respectively. Because of this, Midas is a dangerous foe, as he can immobilize and quickly kill the player.

Stats
 * 1,000
 * 35 Damage
 * 18 Defense

Drops Only one of the following will drop:
 * 5-7 GoldCoin Small (100%)
 * 15-25 Gold Dust (100%)
 * 10-15 Gold Ore (100%)
 * Coin Rain (33.3%)
 * Gold Pickaxe (20%)
 * Gold Hammer (20%)
 * Gold Axe (20%)
 * Gold Broadsword (20%)
 * Gold Shortsword (20%)

Coin Rain The Coin Rain is a spell dropped by Midas. It is a fairly strong spell for its point in the game, but costs a lot of mana to fire. It acts similarly to the Crystal Storm, but the coins shot do not ricochet.

Stats
 * 21 magic damage
 * Very Fast speed
 * Extremely Weak knockback
 * Costs 17 mana
 * Coin Rain inflicts the 'Midas' debuff on anything it hits.

Golden Altar The Golden Altar is a rarely generated altar that can be found in the Stone layer once the player has 40 in their inventory. There are 4 per small world, 6 per medium world, and 8 per large world. They can be broken with a hammer with 55% hammer power or higher. Explosives have no effect on them. When broken, the Midas miniboss will spawn and the altar will drop 10-20 Gold Bars and 30-40 Gold Ore.

Goldified The Goldified debuff is inflicted by Midas. It turns the player into an immobile gold statue for its duration, making them completely useless.

Trivia
 * This is a reference to Nitrome's game, Double Edged.

Story of the Week
This week's story was created by ! Enjoy!

Here is this week's story!

A vast cavern opened up around the adventurer, who hung from the ceiling with his grappling hook. Demons shrieked, their cries bouncing off black walls.

Obsidian towers rose in the distance, silhouetted against the red haze like fingers sticking from the grave. He had reached the Underworld - the end of the world.

Silently, he jumped to the floor, put his hand in his back pocket and pulled it out. Kneeling on the edge of the lava pit, he tossed it in lightly with one hand, unaware of the bat until it struck him hard from behind. His swords tumbled from his hands - the Blade of Grass vanishing into the orange stone, the Muramasa falling and sizzling on the hot ground. And the adventurer flew into a pit of lava.
