The Tide is a Pre-Hardmode wave-based invasion event that takes place in the Ocean. The Tide event is started by using a Seabreak Pearl but only if the following criteria stated below are met. This event introduces numerous coconut-themed enemies and other different kinds of enemies along with various new drops. The event consists of 5 waves with each wave getting significantly more difficult and featuring new stronger foes. Upon reaching to the final wave, a new miniboss known as R'lyehian must be defeated in order to end the event.

Criteria

The criteria required to begin The Tide event are as follows:

• The player must be in the Ocean.
• There must be no Tide event already in progress.

Not fulfilling these requirements will notify the player with the following status message in the chat: "The Tide only ebbs by the calm of the sea.".

Completion

• The event is completed after R'lyehian has been defeated in the final wave, in which the status message, "The Tide has waned!" will appear in the chat and the event will end.

Notes

• The Tide enemies override the current biome's enemies in the same way as Meteor Heads.
• The Tide does not prevent most other events from occurring, so it is possible to fight The Tide and a boss at the same time. A Blood Moon or a Solar Eclipse may begin during The Tide, but their related enemies only spawn after The Tide has been defeated.

Trivia

• The Tide's theme is Drowning Tides, which was composed by Salvati.
• The Kakamora enemies heavily featured in the event are likely a reference to the characters of the same name in the 2016 Disney film Moana.
