Talk:Lantern Night

Enchanted Nightcrawlers
Hello editors, I have seen at least 4 different individuals claim that Enchanted Nightcrawlers spawn during Lantern Nights. I believe this to be false, as the devs specifically stated in section E of the changelog that:. Has anyone actually encountered a Nightcrawler during a Lantern Night? I have not witnessed either event for myself, so if someone has proof I will assume I am mistaken. Please note that a Lantern Night has the floaty orange things, whereas a Meteor Shower is specifically the event with more fallen stars--don't mix 'em up! -- Breathlessblizzard (talk) 02:07, 25 May 2020 (UTC)


 * Response from another editor: I could not find any specific evidence that Enchanted Nightcrawlers spawn during Lantern Nights. However, it appears that during every Lantern Night I have experienced (over 5 of them), there have been Enchanted Nightcrawlers spawning. This could be a coincidence resulting from a meteor shower and lantern night occurring at the same time, but it is unlikely due to the number of times this has happened. I also have seen that others have noticed this due to wiki editing. Again, since I can't verify this completely, I can't officially say whether it is true or false but the evidence points towards it being true. I would suggest that you or anyone else do testing to verify.


 * Thank you for the reply, I will reinstate your edit (with a tag, just in case) because it sounds like I've probably been mistaken. I will do my best to test this, and reply with what I find. (BTW, don't forget to sign your comment with    ) -- Breathlessblizzard (talk) 02:24, 25 May 2020 (UTC)


 * Can't confirm; I have encountered numerous Lantern Nights, but only in the last one did Enchanted Nightcrawlers spawn, most potentially due to it coinciding with a Meteor Shower. Will update on further evidence. Uebere (talk) 06:13, 25 May 2020 (UTC)


 * I believe that you are both correct. Perhaps the lantern night event has a high chance of spawning a meteor shower.  Or killing specific bosses trigger meteor showers, similar to how the Corruption/Crimson boss needs to be killed to spawn a meteor in your world.  In my play through I have noticed a meteor shower and enchanted nightcrawlers on every lantern night  71.48.208.53 16:18, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
