The Twins

The Twins are a new boss added into the 1.1 patch update. The Twins are the upgraded version of the Eye of Cthulu, and are summoned with the Mechanical eye. It is recommended to summon at the beginning of nightfall, because it will leave at dawn.

The boss consists of two eyes connected together, one named Spazmatism and the other Retinanzer. Spazmatism attacks by quickly moving towards the player while Retinanzer attacks by shooting Cursed Flames at the players. Once one of the eyes go into their second form, they shoot out cursed flames at a much higher rate, but they are shot like the Aqua Scepter (a short range spray). Another half-health form is the laser cannon (it shoots red lasers from very long ranges).

The Twins do NOT share the same health, meaning damage one, the other remains the same. Their health is at 24000 EACH, with a grand total of 48000. Just like Eye of Cthulhu, when half their HP is depleted, their second form comes into play, making the fight much more difficult. Their rush attacks are faster as well, with much less delay. As a decent strategy, start by eliminating 'Spazmatism' first thing. His speed gets in the way, and deals decent damage. Remember, you need to keep your distance when fighting the Twins!

The highest recommended weaponry are as follows with 5 *'s being the best recommended:

-Flamarang**

-Laser Rifle*****

-Megashark(best used with Crystal Bullets) ****

-Space Gun(Best used with Meteor Armor )***

-Starfury****

-Star Cannon*****

-Sunfury****

The best armor to use would be Cobalt, Mithril, Adamantite, and Hallowed Armor, unless of course your using the Space Gun, but even then, it's not the best weapon of use for this battle, as the fire rate isn't all the best. Armor sets for increased magic strength, reduced mana usage, max mana increase, are all good for the Space Gun, Starfury and Laser Rifle. I mentioned the Star Cannon, and most Terraria players know why. Strong damage, and excellent range. It doesn't require mana, but it DOES require fallen stars for ammo. Continually running from the Twins and attacking as they persue the player (best done with a Gravitation Potion) is a good strategy.
