The Twins

.

"This is going to be a terrible night..."

The Twins are one of the three Mechanical Bosses, and the Hardmode version(s) of the Eye of Cthulhu. They are summoned at night with the Mechanical Eye and must be defeated before sunrise, otherwise they disappear. Similar to the Eye of Cthulhu, they have a chance of spawning when night falls once Hardmode is enabled, displaying the message "This is going to be a terrible night..." at dusk.

Both eyes have their own individual life meter and both must be killed in order for the Twins to be defeated. The eye with the red iris, Retinazer, fires purple eye lasers while hovering above and to one side of the player. The one with the green iris, Spazmatism, shoots balls made of Cursed Flames, while hovering parallel to the player. Both alternate between their signature attacks and a charging attack, much like Eye of Cthulhu. Note that Retinazer's charge dash is faster and covers a bit more distance than Spazmatism's charge dash.

Just like the Eye of Cthulhu, they both have a second phase, but as of 1.2.3 they no longer transform to their 2nd phase immediately at half health, rather Retinazer transforms at 8000HP and Spazmatism transforms at 9000HP. Retinazer becomes a mechanical eye with a laser turret in its pupil, while Spazmatism becomes a mechanical mouth. Notice that Spazmatism's second form looks like the Eye of Cthulhu in his second form. Retinazer will start firing lasers more quickly and for more damage, and gains the ability to shoot a quick barrage of lasers. It alternates between harrassing the player with periodic fire and slowing down for rapid-fire. The more damaged Retinazer is, the faster it will shoot lasers during its rapid-fire stage. Spazmatism will begin actively chasing the players and constantly spewing Cursed Flames from its mouth, in a manner similar to the Flamethrower; the flames can inflict the Cursed Inferno debuff upon players and deal high damage. It alternates its flamethrower attack with a much more aggressive charge/dash that has more speed and range.

Tips

 * Concentrate on one boss at a time.
 * Making them both into mechanical form at once will make it impossible to mid-endgame players unless built an arena.
 * Its recommended that you first beat Retinazer because of its ranged attack and when killed, it makes the fight easier than killing the Spazmatism will do nothing much with the fight.

Trivia

 * Retinazer's name is a portmanteau of retina, a part of the eye, and laser. Spazmatism's name is a portmanteau of astigmatism, an eye disorder, and spasm, meaning to twitch uncontrollably.
 * The rope connecting the twins is similar to the rope connecting The Hungry to the Wall of Flesh.
 * Spazmatism's second form is much similar to the Eye Of Cthulhu's except when it is hit by a weapon it makes a metal 'clanging' sound much like anything made of metal.
 * The Optic Staff will summon a mini version of the Twins and be used as a minion
