Ocram is one of the final Hardmode bosses of Terraria in the Old-gen console version Old-gen console version and Nintendo 3DSNintendo 3DS version version. It is summoned with the Suspicious Looking Skull at night. Ocram is the only source of Souls of Blight, and the only enemy/boss that drops Adamantite Ore (Old-gen console version though the Shadow Hammer drops Adamantite Bars).

While Ocram is alive, the music Boss 5 will play.

Behavior

Ocram has two stages, and summons Servant of OcramServants of Ocram (boss minions similar to Servants of Cthulhu, but stronger) in both of them. During its first stage, it hovers above the player while summoning Servants of Ocram and shooting Death Lasers that travel in Ocram's moving direction. Afterward, Ocram charges at the player three times in succession, before repeating the cycle.

When Ocram's health falls below 50% (17,500), it switches to its second stage, during which its contact damage doubles. It hovers at a closer distance while firing Eye Lasers in a larger spread, similar to the Death Lasers in its first stage. Ocram's dashes are longer and are now accompanied by volleys of Demon Sickle projectiles and more Servants of Ocram.

Notes

  • Attempting to use the Suspicious Looking Skull during the day will do nothing, and the item will not be consumed from the player's inventory.
  • Ocram's hitbox is strange in that it is vertically offset above its actual position, which causes irregular rotation when turning and entering into its second stage.
  • Ocram tends to get closer to the player than most bosses. This can sometimes prove helpful to players using melee or short ranged weapons.
  • Due to the high velocity of Ocram's Demon Sickles, they can go through thin walls of blocks.

Tips

For more elaborate strategies on defeating Ocram, including weapon and arena recommendations, see Guide:Ocram strategies.
  • Using the Paladin's Hammer is a very good choice as it does high damage to the Servants of Ocram and Ocram itself.
  • Crystal Bullets or Chlorophyte Bullets with a strong gun such as the Megashark or Clockwork Assault Rifle can do high damage against Ocram.
  • The Flairon is very effective as the homing bubbles group together and home in towards Ocram and its Servants, dealing high damage.
  • Placing clouds from the Nimbus Rod helps to do damage while the player is busy avoiding attacks.
  • If the Piranha Gun is obtained, the player can focus on dodging the boss since the Mechanical Piranha will automatically lock onto it.
  • The Nettle Burst can be useful as Ocram tends to float in one area.
  • The Bubble Gun is very effective for its rapid damage.
  • Minions such as the Optic Staff or Raven Staff are effective against Ocram. Sentries such as the Queen Spider Staff or Staff of the Frost Hydra are good additional minions.
  • Making an area underground 3 blocks high and about 7–10 blocks long will render most of Ocram's Demon Sickles and Laser attacks useless. The only problem with this is that the player will need to acquire a weapon that can pierce through walls.
  • While the Servants are weak on their own, they spawn in large numbers.
  • Spectre armor (with the Hood) with Razorpine combined with the effects of the Mana Flower (as long as the player have enough mana potions) can make the fight with Ocram ridiculously easy.
  • (3DS version) Use a Bow like the Tsunami with Heart Arrows to completely stun Ocram.
  • Firing up with the North Pole is very useful against Ocram for he stays in the same area for most of the battle.

Trivia

  • As of the 1.2 update for the Console version, Ocram and its Servants are the only Console-only enemies to not have their sprites updated, possibly because their sprites were not recolors of anything prior to the 1.2 update.
  • Queen Bee shares its boss theme with Ocram.
  • Ocram drops Adamantite Ore, making it possible to get it naturally in a world that generated Titanium Ore from smashing Altars.
  • Despite Ocram being a Hardmode boss in 1.2, it only drops Lesser Healing Potions.Verify
  • Ocram also appears to borrow elements from other enemies and bosses in battle:
  • Ocram, along with several other console-exclusives, was removed from most platforms in an effort to bring more uniformity across the various platform versions of Terraria.[1]
    • Every Soul of Blight were turned into 5 GC each after the 1.3 update.
    • Console version The Ocram Trophy and Ocram Mask remained as unobtainable "legacy items" on the Console version after the 1.3 update.
      • Console version These items in inventory were replaced with 10 GC each after the 1.4 update.
      • Console version All placed Ocram Trophies were replaced by Lunatic Cultist Trophies after the 1.4 update.
    • Mobile version All Ocram Trophies were turned into Lunatic Cultist Trophies after the 1.3 update.
    • Mobile version Although it was announced that all Ocram Masks would be turned into 10 GC each, it was already impossible to obtain as it was never added in the game in the first place, even with the use of inventory editors.
    • Mobile version Pieces of Dragon armor, Titan armor, and Spectral armor were turned into respective pieces of the Chlorophyte armor after the 1.3 update.
    • Console version Dragon armor, Titan armor, and Spectral armor remained as vanity items from the Traveling Merchant after the 1.3 update.
      • Console version Helmet, shirt, and pants pieces of Dragon armor, Titan armor, and Spectral armor were turned into 50 GC, 1 PC, and 75 GC respectively after the 1.4 update.
  • Several references to Ocram were later added to the Desktop version Desktop version, Console version Console version, and Mobile version Mobile version of Terraria:
    • The item Ocram's Razor.
    • The death message "<Player name> was sent to Ocram's House".
    • The title messages "Terraria: Now with even less Ocram!" and "Terraria: Now with even more Ocram!".
    • "Nocram" as a possible noun for the randomized world name in the world creation menu.
  • Unlike the Old-gen console version Old-gen console version, the Ocram Mask is completely unobtainable on the Nintendo 3DSNintendo 3DS version version, even with the usage of inventory editors.
