The Ascended Astral Slime is a rare Hardmode enemy that spawns in the Astral Infection. It attacks by hopping towards the player, while leaving behind laser mines that detonate into an X shaped pattern of small laser projectiles after a short delay. In Death Mode, the laser projectiles are replaced with skinny deathray lasers. Their purpose is to drop the Astral Communicator used to summon the Astrageldon superboss.

Notes

• Ascended Astral Slimes will continue to spawn and drop the Astral Communicator after the Moon Lord has been defeated.
• With the Calamity's Vanities mod enabled, they will also spawn in the mod's artificial Astral Blight biome.

Trivia

• The Bestiary entry for Ascended Astral Slime: A gelatinous star-spawn formed from pure energy, released from a universe destroyed by a slime with god-like power. At their core is a chunk of alien stone bearing an resonant orb.
• The enemy can also drop the Abandoned Slime Staff, which was implemented to make crafting the Astralpod Staff easier.
