The Martian Costume Mask is a vanity headpiece dropped during the Martian Madness Event. It is part of the Martian Costume set.

The '''Solar Pillar''' is one of the four [[Celestial Tower]]s that appear during the [[Lunar Events]] when the [[Lunatic Cultist]] is defeated. It is found in the orange/red moon area. Many of the enemies that spawn near it are melee-themed. After defeating the pillar, it drops around 30-49 [[Solar Fragment]]s on average. As it has melee-themed enemies it drops fragments used to create the endgame melee armor and weapons.
  +
  +
During the battle the pillar will start with a large force field around it, which can be taken down by slaying 100 minions (150 in [[Expert Mode]]). Once the field is down, the pillar will become vulnerable, but minions will continue to spawn. The boss itself is fairly easy, having only 20000 HP and you take no damage when touching the pillar melee. However it will occassionally shoot out meteorites that deal around 90 damage per hit. While the boss may not be a threat, the minions it spawns deal high amounts of damage and can easily swarm the player if not taken care of.

The Solar Pillar is one of the four Celestial Towers that appear during the Lunar Events when the Lunatic Cultist is defeated. It is found in the orange/red moon area. Many of the enemies that spawn near it are melee-themed. After defeating the pillar, it drops around 30-49 Solar Fragments on average. As it has melee-themed enemies it drops fragments used to create the endgame melee armor and weapons.

During the battle the pillar will start with a large force field around it, which can be taken down by slaying 100 minions (150 in Expert Mode). Once the field is down, the pillar will become vulnerable, but minions will continue to spawn. The boss itself is fairly easy, having only 20000 HP and you take no damage when touching the pillar melee. However it will occassionally shoot out meteorites that deal around 90 damage per hit. While the boss may not be a threat, the minions it spawns deal high amounts of damage and can easily swarm the player if not taken care of.
