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)


 * I have proof that Enchanted Nightcrawlers spawn during Lantern Night without meteor shower. This is after the night after killing King Slime for the first time, before breaking any Demon Altars. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vsoPXIoH8g
