Talk:Brain of Cthulhu

Ocram
Could Ocram be a Hardmode Brain of Cthulhu?
 * Officially there's no connection between the two. Any that the player draws is personal inference. Gearzein (talk) 22:36, 19 February 2015 (UTC)

Phantoon
Look at this and tell me Brain of Cthulhu doesn't draw inspiration from Phantoon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_t7nF9Ao95Y 24.14.214.236
 * Sure thing. One of them is a space pirate ghost and the other is a huge meaty brain already tied explicitly to another mythos. They don't look alike, they aren't fought in the same way, and there's not even a subtle hint in the information surrounding the Brain that they're in any way related. Even if you want to contend that Phantoon's design is meant to specifically be a brain (which it's not quite pulling off), "disembodied brain" is a common enough trope to say that BoC isn't built around this specific one.
 * More importantly, "resembling" and "drawing inspiration" are two radically different things. Resemblance isn't even notable. A claim that something is drawing inspiration is, but without word from the developers it's just speculation- usually based on resemblance. As it is, there is no indication that the Brain of Cthulhu draws inspiration from Phantoon. Gearzein (talk) 20:27, 7 May 2015 (UTC)

''As I was farming the brain of cthulu I got the mask for it on console, if someone could update the page that would be appreciated because I have no idea how to do it. Also I will probably not return to this discussion.- Flaming peach78 (Xbox console gamer)

I can't find anything online confirm this or to exactly explain what happens but after I defeated the brain i noticed new icicle like spikes in crimson as well as platinum and other lower ores in places I had already cleared. Not sure if this is new or not and either way wondering if anything else is effected.
