Drops
Cultist Archer drops nothing in the game's drop rules.
Fanatical bowmen guarding the dungeon threshold
Stationed at the entrance of the Dungeon alongside kneeling devotees, the Cultist Archer protects the ritual of the lunatic faith. Equipped with 210 health and 14 defense, this robed archer draws his bow when intruders arrive, dealing 45 contact damage in Classic, 90 in Expert, and 135 in Master mode while loosing flaming arrows.
Suppressing perimeter archers before awakening the lunatic cultist
When entering the dungeon threshold to challenge the Lunatic Cultist, eliminating Cultist Archers first from long range is sound tactics. Their flaming arrows can disrupt player mobility and apply burning damage while dealing with ground devotees. Once all four ritualists at the entrance fall, the Lunatic Cultist immediately spawns, initiating the lunar endgame sequence.
Trivia
- Cultist Archers spawn naturally at the Dungeon entrance once Golem has been defeated.
- Defeating all four entrance cultists triggers the immediate summoning of the Lunatic Cultist boss.
