The Brain of Cthulhu is the Crimson counterpart to the [[Corruption]]'s [[Eater of Worlds]]. In a world containing Crimson, only the Brain of Cthulhu, and not the Eater of Worlds, will be summonable.
−
<noinclude>[[Category:Navigational Templates]]
 
   
−
== Usage ==
+
== Attacks ==
  +
=== First phase ===
−
Place the following at the end of a page:
 
  +
The Brain is invincible and teleports around the area. It is surrounded by eyes called [[Creeper]]s that attempt to deal damage by flying into the player. Each Creeper has its own health bar, and will drop [[Tissue Sample]]s, [[Crimtane Ore]], and [[heart]]s. When all the Creepers are destroyed, the Brain itself becomes vulnerable and can take damage normally.
−
*<code><nowiki>{{Master Template Characters}}</nowiki></code>
 
   
  +
=== Second phase ===
−
The default behavior is for the entire template to remain collapsed.
 
  +
The Brain will now teleport more frantically with no Creeper eyes to defend it. It concentrates more on ramming the player, and moves faster.
   
  +
== Tips ==
−
'''To show all sub-sections in collapsed form,''' use this:
 
  +
* Similar to the [[Eye of Cthulhu]] and [[Eater of Worlds]], building an [[arena]] consisting of long stretches of [[Wood Platforms]] allows the player to maneuver around the Brain and its [[Creeper]]s.
  +
* The Creepers are especially susceptible to the [[On Fire!]] and [[Frostburn]] [[debuff]]s, so weapons that inflict those can make quick work of Creepers: [[Molotov Cocktail]], [[Flaming Arrow]]s, and [[Frostburn Arrow]]s. Even the [[Flare Gun]] is useful.
  +
* Creepers can also be dispatched quickly via [[Jester Arrows]], [[Shuriken]], [[Grenade]]s, and the [[Space Gun]]. [[Gem staff|Gem staves]] and [[The Rotted Fork]] also work well, and remain useful in the Brain's second phase.
  +
* During the second phase, use a weapon with high [[knockback]] (or multi-hit/rapid weapons with average knockback). This will allow you to keep the Brain at bay as it attempts to charge. The [[Harpoon]] or [[Chain Knife]] work well.
  +
* The [[Crimson Rod]] can provide extra sustained damage, especially against the Creepers.
  +
* A [[Vilethorn]] is extremely useful against the Creepers, as its tendency to stun-lock enemies prevents the eyes from retreating when the brain teleports away. However, the Vilethorn is only available from [[Shadow Orb]]s in the [[Corruption]], and therefore will need to be brought over from another world.
   
  +
== Trivia ==
−
<nowiki>{{Master Template Characters</nowiki>
 
  +
* 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.
−
| show-main = yes
 
  +
* The Brain of Cthulhu strongly resembles the boss Phantoon from the game Super Metroid, both in appearance and behavior.
−
}}
 
  +
* The Brain of Cthulhu's second form appears to have a heart inside of it, as well as an eye in the heart.
  +
* The Brain of Cthulhu is the only boss susceptible to [[knockback]].
  +
* Unlike the [[Eater of Worlds]], the Brain of Cthulhu doesn't run away if you leave the Crimson.
  +
* Unlike the Eater of Worlds, the Eye of Cthulhu, and [[Skeletron]], the Brain of Cthulhu does not have a [[Hardmode]] counterpart. (The others having [[The Destroyer]], [[The Twins]] and [[Skeletron Prime]] respectively.)
  +
* 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 it's [[creeper]]s, it has more health than [[King Slime]].
   
  +
== Bugs ==
−
'''To cause one or more sub-sections to appear expanded by default,''' add one of the following ("show-main = yes" must also be set) :
 
  +
{{anomaly| The Brain can not only follow you if you leave crimson, but can also be spawned in any biome by destroying 3 [[Crimson Hearts]], not only in crimson| [[1.2.2]] }}
−
* <code> | show-common = yes </code>
 
  +

−
* <code> | show-hardmode = yes </code>
 
  +
{{bug|If you die fairly close to your spawn the Brain of Cthulhu can follow you to your spawn due to the lack of distance between your spawn and the Brain of Cthulhu, preventing it from despawning.| [[1.2.0.3.1]]}}
−
* <code> | show-event = yes </code>
 
  +
{{bug|Killing the Creepers as the brain is taking damage will cause the brain to disappear, The Crimson Rod was seen to not do this but will need further testing.| [[1.2.3]]}}

"A horrible chill goes down your spine..." "Screams echo around you..."

The Brain of Cthulhu is a Boss that spawns in the Crimson biome. It appears every time a player shatters three Crimson Hearts. It can also be summoned using a Bloody Spine.

The Brain of Cthulhu is the Crimson counterpart to the Corruption's Eater of Worlds. In a world containing Crimson, only the Brain of Cthulhu, and not the Eater of Worlds, will be summonable.

Attacks

First phase

The Brain is invincible and teleports around the area. It is surrounded by eyes called Creepers that attempt to deal damage by flying into the player. Each Creeper has its own health bar, and will drop Tissue Samples, Crimtane Ore, and hearts. When all the Creepers are destroyed, the Brain itself becomes vulnerable and can take damage normally.

Second phase

The Brain will now teleport more frantically with no Creeper eyes to defend it. It concentrates more on ramming the player, and moves faster.

Tips

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.
  • The Brain of Cthulhu strongly resembles the boss Phantoon from the game Super Metroid, both in appearance and behavior.
  • The Brain of Cthulhu's second form appears to have a heart inside of it, as well as an eye in the heart.
  • The Brain of Cthulhu is the only boss susceptible to knockback.
  • Unlike the Eater of Worlds, the Brain of Cthulhu doesn't run away if you leave the Crimson.
  • Unlike the Eater of Worlds, the Eye of Cthulhu, and Skeletron, the Brain of Cthulhu does not have a Hardmode counterpart. (The others having The Destroyer, The Twins and Skeletron Prime respectively.)
  • 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 it's creepers, it has more health than King Slime.
