Bestiary entry

"Precise units from an ancient civilization, they use powerful bronze bows to pick off opposition from a distance."

The Ancient Archer is an enemy that spawns in Marble Caves, along with Ancient Phalanxes and Ancient Chargers, after Skeletron has been defeated. When its target is in its line of sight, it shoots arrows at the player while standing still, posing a threat from a distance. The Ancient Archer cannot shoot when it is knocked back.

Notes

• Its high damage and ability to shoot from a distance makes this a dangerous enemy, especially in Expert Mode.

Trivia

• Like the other Marble Cave enemies, the Ancient Archer wears similar bronze armor.
• When it was originally added, it was instead a goblin.
