Mystic Moon

“

I wonder what enchantments have been placed on the moon- It's all blue!

— The Enchanter

"The Mystic Moon is rising..."

The Mystic Moon is a randomly occurring Hardmode event that takes place over the course of an entire night (7:30 p.m-4:30 a.m.) It causes several hazards for its duration such as multiple new dangerous enemies. Mystic Moons are signaled by the message "The Mystic Moon is rising..." in the lower left corner of the screen, and the moon, sky, water, and rain will appear blue for the duration of the event. A blue filter will also be present in all above-ground areas.

A Mystic Moon will only occur if the world is in Hardmode. It can happen any night with a 3 in 40 (7.5%) chance, as long as a Blood Moon is not happening, nor if a Mechanical boss is naturally spawning. It can also be summoned manually by using a Turquoise Lens at night.

During the event, its own music track Nighttime Groove will play, a remix of the second Blue Moon track.
