Sandstorm



A Sandstorm is an event which occurs randomly in the Desert. During this event, a few enemies often found in the Underground Desert appear on the surface, as well as Angry Tumblers and, in Hardmode, Sand Elementals and Sand Sharks. If the player is standing in the Desert while this event is active, the Mighty Wind debuff will be inflicted on the player if they are not in front of a.



During a Sandstorm, the background will turn a dusty yellow and a vignette will be applied to the player's screen. Particles of sand can also be seen flying across the screen. While the effects are amplified with Color and White lighting, which may be resource-intensive on some computers, using Retro or Trippy will remove much of the background dust.

Tips

 * Since the Sandstorm only occurs in the surface layer of the desert, the player can fly over it.

Trivia

 * The Sandstorm is similar to the Blizzard event in that it reduces visibility and spawns new enemies.
