The Ancient Doom is a projectile NPC summoned by one of the Lunatic Cultist's attacks in Expert Mode and Master Mode. The attack will only be used when the boss is lower than 50% of its maximum health.

The Ancient Doom remains stationary and only deals damage upon contact at first. However, if it is not destroyed, after 7 seconds, it will burst into four "Prophecy's End" projectiles in the cardinal directions.[1] These projectiles cannot be destroyed by weapons, and they deal a very significant amount of damage, especially in Master Mode.

Trivia

  • Despite having the hurt sound of a Zombie or any type of Slime, it has the kill sound of a Ghost or Wraith.
    • Another two enemies that follow this pattern, with a different hurt sound to the kill sound, are the Possessed Armor and Mimics.
