“

This immense magma-dweller can tolerate the extreme temperatures of the Earth's core, using its tentacle-like gills both to drill through solid metal and to protect its more vulnerable head. Highly protective of its much smaller offspring.

— Bestiary (Convective Wanderer)

The Convective Wanderer is a Hardmode boss found in the Lava Ocean. It is intended to be fought at about the same time as Golem, but can be encountered at any time in Hardmode.

While it is alive, the vanilla music Boss 1 will play.

Spawning

The Convective Wanderer does not spawn on its own, and requires the player to summon it by killing a Baby Wanderer or using a Seismophone. It can only be summoned in the Lava Ocean; while it will not despawn unless the player leaves the Underworld entirely, attempting to summon it outside the Lava Ocean has no effect.

Trivia

• The Convective Wanderer used to be a normal enemy that spawned in the Underworld alongside Mantellar Ore after Golem was defeated. It was promoted to a boss and redesigned to provide a more sensible progression gate to access the ore, as Golem does not have a thematic connection to the Earth's core.
