Etheria is a Hardmode post-Golem boss fought in anywhere at nighttime.
Spawn[ | ]
Etheria, like most other bosses, does not spawn on her own and requires the player to summon her with the Emblem of Etheria during nighttime, or any time in the Etherial dimension.
Behavior[ | ]
Etheria will float mid-air rapidly, dealing high-contact damage. As Etheria does this, it will barrage the player with a variety of attacks.
Attacks[ | ]
- Chases the player in an attempt to deal contact damage.
- Summons a spinning Etherial Tear.
- Teleports often randomly, creating Etherial Pulses in a circular form.
- Shoots an Etherial Waves that goes on a spiral direction.
- Shoots homing projectiles that inflict frostbite
- Etheria's mouth will open wider and her pupils dilate as 25% of her maximum health is depleted, giving her a more menacing look.
In Expert Mode[ | ]
- Her health and damage are increased.
In Etherial Dimension[ | ]
After summoning her in the dimension, she retains her magical abilities but has new moves and her true form.
Behavior[ | ]
- Summons a shadow version of herself.
- At 40% of her life, Etheria and the shadow version will turn into red and their mouth is wider.
- 3 mirror images of the Etheria slowly appear based on the low life.

Tips[ | ]
- Avoid getting hit at all costs, as the attacks can nearly one-shot the player.
Aftermath[ | ]

- Once defeated for the first time, the status message "Bysmal Venins burst through the world" displays, indicating that the Bysmal generated in the Etheria Dimension.
- Once defeated for the second time will result in leaving the dimension.
Trivia[ | ]
- Despite Etheria's name sounding fully identical to Etheria, the original dimension for the Old One's Army, Etheria does not relate to the Old One's Army in any way.
- Etheria was most likely resprited due to the old sprite looking more nightmarish and creepy.
