Drops
Phantasm Dragon drops nothing in the game's drop rules.
Ghostly wyverns summoned by failed cultist rituals
The Phantasm Dragon is an ethereal wyvern summoned during the Lunatic Cultist boss encounter. If the player attacks a false illusion during the ritual phase or fails to disrupt the ritual in time, the cultist conjures this spectral dragon into the arena. Boasting 10,000 life and 15 defense, its lengthy serpentine body glides through solid blocks, pursuing the player across the sky.
Managing dual threats when ritual duplicates fail
Contact with the Phantasm Dragon’s head deals 100 base damage, while its segmented tail wraps around the arena to restrict dodging maneuvers. Because the Lunatic Cultist continues attacking while the dragon is active, players must use piercing or homing weapons like the Solar Eruption or Razorblade Typhoon to dismantle the serpent quickly. Challenging the cultist in Master mode yields a wyvern with 19,125 life whose flying coils strike for 225 damage.
Trivia
- The Phantasm Dragon is summoned exclusively when a player hits the wrong duplicate during the Lunatic Cultist ritual.
- It behaves similarly to a Wyvern, coiling through the air and ignoring solid blocks.
