Queen Jellyfish after defeating it once
"Once a normal jellyfish, something within the darkest depths caused it to bloat in size, power, and aggression."

Visiting that sea rift again wasn't my best idea... that mutant jellyfish almost ate me whole!

The Diverman

Queen Jellyfish is a Pre-Hardmode boss that must be fought above the ocean waters. She is considered a biome-specific boss for the Ocean biome.

While Queen Jellyfish is alive, her exclusive music In Over Your Head will play.

Spawn

Queen Jellyfish does not spawn on her own, and requires the player to summon her with a Jellyfish Resonator. She can only be summoned while the player is near the Ocean during the day.

Behavior

Queen Jellyfish hovers slightly above the player, launching bubbles to attack the player. She summons Royal Jellies to attack the player and uses her tentacles to attack in Expert Mode.

Attacks

  • Queen Jellyfish will shoot a large slow moving bubble that deals moderate damage and inflicts the Bubbled debuff; flinging the player high into the air.
  • Queen Jellyfish stops and creates a stationary cyclone that sucks the player in; contact with the cyclone can kill the player in a few seconds.

In Expert Mode

  • Upon reaching 40% health, Queen Jellyfish will begin extending tentacles that deal high contact damage.

Aftermath

  • The Diverman will spawn immediately from Queen Jellyfish upon defeating it for the first time. He can then move in if provided suitable housing.
  • Once defeated, the Cobbler will start selling Water Walking Boots.
  • Once defeated, the Dye Trader will start selling Ripple Dye.

Notes

  • Sword strikes will deal 200% damage against Queen Jellyfish while in the cyclone stage.
  • After defeating Queen Jellyfish once, subsequent appearances of the boss do not have the Diverman NPC inside her head, and subsequent defeats of the boss will not spawn additional Divermen.
