How to Spawn a Lunar Cultist in Terraria
To spawn a Lunatic Cultist, you can use an Eidolon Tablet at any point in Hardmode, or by killing the Cultists at the Dungeon after Golem is defeated. The Lunatic Cultist will not spawn if there are walls in the Dungeon’s entrance or if there’s a Meteorite nearby, so you’ll need to destroy the walls using a hammer and mine the Meteorite away to allow the Cultists to spawn.
Understanding the Lunatic Cultist
The Lunatic Cultist is a significant entity in the Terraria universe, serving as a precursor to the Moon Lord, the final boss of the game. Understanding how to summon and defeat the Lunatic Cultist is crucial for progression in Hardmode.
