Betsy is a Hardmode, post-Golem mini-boss that spawns once during the seventh and final wave of Tier 3 of the Old One's Army event. Like all enemies in the Old One's Army, she will despawn upon completion or failure of the event. Defeating Betsy is the only way of successfully completing the final wave of the event.

Behavior

Upon being summoned, Betsy performs the following attacks in a randomized order. If within close enough proximity to the player, she will target them instead of the Eternia Crystal.

  • Betsy flies around in a large loop.
  • Betsy lunges at the player or the Eternia Crystal once or twice consecutively.
  • Betsy hovers in place and roars, spawning two T3 Etherian Wyverns that appear around her while spawning an additional three that appear from Mysterious Portals.
    • This attack will not summon Etherian Wyverns if there are already at least 5 Etherian Wyverns existing in the world.[1]
  • Betsy charges forward a short distance while launching six small Betsy's FireballBetsy's Fireballs that are affected by gravity, exploding upon contact with the player, the Eternia Crystal, or solid blocks.
  • Betsy travels to the edge of the screen before flying horizontally in a straight line. During this time, she spews a fiery stream of Betsy's BreathBetsy's Breath from her mouth downward, damaging the player and inflicting the On Fire! debuff for 7–10 / 14–20 / 17.5–25 seconds.

Tips

For more elaborate strategies on defeating Betsy, including weapon and arena recommendations, see Guide:Old One's Army strategies.
  • The On Fire! debuff is a major source of damage. Note that it negates life regen from Nebula armor's set bonus – hence, if the player is unable to avoid Betsy's flame breath attack, it might make the armor ineffective.
    • The Obsidian Skin Potion can prevent the debuff.
    • A floating pool of water (utilizing Bubbles) can be used to cancel the On Fire! debuff. Honey will also cancel the debuff and also give extra life regeneration, but slows down movement while submerged in it.
    • This does not apply to life-stealing effects such as the Spectre armor Hood set bonus or the Vampire Knives. It does not affect the Life Drain's health regen boost either.

History

  • Desktop 1.4.0.3:
    • Fixed a bug where Betsy's loot had half the correct drop chance.
    • Now correctly fills out its Bestiary entry completely upon its first defeat, like other main bosses. This fix was not done on the Dark Mage and Ogre.
