Drops
Poltergeist drops nothing in the game's drop rules.
Spiteful specters drifting through the pumpkin moon
Poltergeists are vengeful spirits that manifest during the later stages of the Pumpkin Moon event. Floating through the nocturnal atmosphere with 1,250 life and 44 defense, these wraiths pass freely through solid blocks and player platforms. Drifting silently toward the target from beneath the arena floor, their spectral grasp inflicts 90 base contact damage.
Repelling subterranean ghostly surges with radiant magic
Because Poltergeists approach through solid flooring, standard ground barricades and spike traps cannot deter them. Players must maintain active flight and deploy weapons with wide coverage or radiant homing magic to intercept them before they close range. In Master mode, their health expands to 2,250 life while their contact attacks deal 202 damage, turning clustered platform arenas into dangerous haunts.
Trivia
- Poltergeists can pass through all solid tiles without experiencing any movement slowdown.
- They appear in later waves of the Pumpkin Moon alongside Mourning Wood and Pumpking.
