The Depth Meter is an informational accessory that displays the player's depth. It is required to craft the GPS, which can then be used to craft PDA and the Cell Phone. On the Desktop version of the game, depth is measured in feet, with one tile equaling two feet. On the Console version, depth is measured in meters, with two tiles equaling one meter. This depth is measured relative to the boundary between the Surface and Underground layers, which has a depth of 0 and is displayed as "level"; the grassy surface of the Forest is generally about 64 blocks upward from this line.

The Depth Meter is dropped by Cave Bats. It has a 1% chance to drop on the Desktop version; on the Mobile and Console Versions it only has a .5% chance to drop, but can also be crafted by the playerConsole version.

+The '''Depth Meter''' is an [[Informational items|informational]] [[accessory]] that displays the player's depth. It is required to craft the [[GPS]], which can then be used to craft [[PDA]] and the [[Cell Phone]]. On the [[Desktop version]] of the game, depth is measured in feet, with one tile equaling two feet. On the [[Console version]], depth is measured in meters, with two tiles equaling one meter. This depth is measured relative to the boundary between the [[Surface]] and [[Underground]] layers, which has a depth of 0 and is displayed as "level"; the grassy surface of the [[Forest]] is generally about 64 blocks upward from this line.
-The '''Brain of Cthulhu''' is a [[Crimson]] [[Boss]] that resembles a large flying brain. It spawns when players destroy 3 [[Crimson Heart]]s, or when a player uses a [[Bloody Spine]].
+The Depth Meter is dropped by [[Cave Bat]]s. It has a 1% chance to drop on the [[Desktop version]]; on the [[Mobile version|Mobile]] and [[Console Version]]s it only has a .5% chance to drop, but can also be crafted by the player[[Console version]].
-to 30 [[Creeper]]s spawn along with the Brain and orbit at high speed. All Creepers must be destroyed first: As long as even one survives, the Brain cannot be damaged. Once the Creepers are destroyed, the Brain itself becomes vulnerable to attacks. The Brain cannot spawn new Creepers.

+=== Used in ===
-The Brain of Cthulhu is the Crimson counterpart to the [[Corruption]]'s [[Eater of Worlds]]. Much like its cousin, fighting it is essential for progression, as the Brain and its attendant Creepers are the only source of [[Tissue Sample]]s and usable quantities of [[Crimtane Ore]], which are required to craft advanced [[tool]]s and [[armor]].

-=== First phase ===
+| result = GPS |
-The Brain itself is initially invincible. It teleports around the player, drawing nearer before teleporting away again in a random direction while its [[Creeper]] [[minions]] attack. The [[Creeper]]s do not teleport along with the Brain, but are instead pulled between the player and the Brain in large, sweeping orbits. Once all [[Creeper]]s are defeated, the Brain enters its second phase.

-In the second phase, the Brain becomes vulnerable to attacks, and aggressively attempts to ram the player before teleporting away.

 == Notes ==
+* Depth is measured at the level of the player's feet.
-* [[Creeper]]s drop [[Heart]]s at a higher rate than most [[enemies]].
+* The Depth Meter doesn't need to be equipped to function, it simply needs to sit in the player's inventory.
+* The Depth Meter will not work if equipped in a vanity slot.
+* {{mobile icon}} The Depth Meter is obtainable and equippable but does not actually do anything.

+* The Depth Meter is useful for finding [[biome]]s that are generated at specific elevation ranges, such as [[Floating Islands]], the [[Underground Jungle]], and the [[Underworld]].
-{{strategies|Guide:Brain of Cthulhu strategies}}
+* The Depth Meter can be used to avoid spawning [[Dungeon Guardian]]s by staying above 0 depth.
-* As [[Creepers]] drop Tissue Samples and [[Crimtane Ore]] fairly frequently, it's technically not necessary to defeat the [[Brain of Cthulhu]] to gain access to Crimson-tier equipment, only to kill a couple of Creepers and secure their drops.
-* Creepers have low individual health and are especially susceptible to the [[On Fire!]] and [[Frostburn]] [[debuff]]s, so weapons that inflict those can make quick work of them.
-* The Brain of Cthulhu is the only boss susceptible to [[knockback]]. Weapons with high knockback can keep both Creepers and the Brain from closing distance between teleports.
-* Unlike the [[Eater of Worlds]], the Brain of Cthulhu doesn't run away and despawn if you leave the Crimson, therefore you are able to summon it and lead it to a nearby arena in a less hilly biome.
-* best weapon is the minishark beacose it has small knockback so the Brain of Cthulhu doesn't get neer you
-== Trivia ==
-* The Brain of Cthulhu, along with the [[Eye of Cthulhu]], is based on the character Cthulhu from the works of the author H.P. Lovecraft.
-* Unlike the correlation between the [[Eater of Worlds]] and [[The Destroyer]], the Brain of Cthulhu does not have a [[Hardmode]] counterpart.
-* The Brain of Cthulhu has the least HP out of all the bosses, with even less than the [[Eye of Cthulhu]] in its second form. However, if counting the health of its [[creeper]]s, it has more health than [[King Slime]].
