Bestiary entry

"An overgrown crystal shard-turned-sentry tasked with dispatching meddlesome Terrarians entering the Hallow."

The Spectrumite is a Hardmode enemy that can be found in the Underground Hallow biome. It attacks by firing slow-moving Spectrum Balls that home in on the player and have a chance to briefly inflict the Confused debuff. Right after attacking, it will teleport to a random location near the player as long as it is within the Hallow biome, otherwise it will remain stationary.

Notes

• Their constant teleporting, combined with their homing projectiles, can make Spectrumites a rather difficult enemy to deal with, especially in early Hardmode.

Tips

• As Spectrumites will completely stop teleporting if the player leaves The Hallow, this can help to easily dispatch them.
• Spectrumites will not spawn in open spaces. Therefore, it is recommended to stay in tight and enclosed areas within the Underground Hallow in order to encounter them.

Trivia

• The visuals of the Spectrumites are identical to the sentry created by the Rainbow Crystal Staff.
