The Pharaoh's Curse is a Pre-Hardmode boss encountered in the Cursed Pyramid.
Spawn
Pharaoh's Curse does not spawn on its own and is summoned by right-clicking a Sarcophagus in the Cursed Pyramid.
Behaviour
Phase 1
Phase 1 lasts until Pharaoh's Curse health has gone to 0.
Attacks:
- Dash Attack - Pharaoh's Curse goes either to the right or left of the player and makes a horizontal dash, leaving a ball which launches increasing number of projectiles that go from the center until they hit something.
- 4 Hand Attack - Pharaoh's Curse goes to the center of the boss room and launches 4 "hands" in a plus-like shape which launch spikes in an alternating pattern from center to edge.
- Telegraph Projectiles Attack - Pharaoh's Curse launches projectiles with their trajectories shown with a semi-transparent purple line.
Phase 2
Phase 2 starts about 5 seconds after Pharaoh's Curse has lost all of its health in Phase 1. Attacks:
- 2 Hand Attack - Pharaoh's Curse launches 2 vertical "hands" which then proceed to spin. About every 1/4 of full spin of "hands" it launches 3 knifes at the player. About once a revolution it launches a barrage of knifes in a semi-circle shape.
- Dash Attack - Pharaoh's Curse goes invisible and dashes at the player from different directions and then goes invisible again. Once every other dash it launches a barrage of knifes in a semi-circle shape.
- Telegraph Projectiles Attack - Pharaoh's Curse spawns 3 copies of itself which then circle around and smash into the floor one by one and create telegraphed projectiles from Phase 1 after which they disappear. The real Pharaoh's Curse does the same smash attack, but it doesn't disappear.
Aftermath
Ghast, Maligmor and Teratoma will start to drop Cursed Matter.
Trivia
- This is Vortex' the least favorite boss (development wise).
- Some of Pharoah's Curse's attacks are inspired by The Binding of Isaac, more specifically one of the game's bosses, The Scourge.
