Lihzahrd solar relic and daytime combat radiance
Dropped by Golem in the Jungle Temple with a 14.29% drop chance (1 in 7). During daytime hours between 4:30 AM and 7:30 PM, this solar talisman grants wide-ranging stat boosts: 10% increased damage, 10% melee speed, 2% critical strike chance, 1 HP per second health regeneration, 4 defense, 15% mining speed, and 0.5 minion knockback. These improvements activate automatically at dawn and remain functional until dusk arrives. At nighttime, its stat enhancements become inactive.
Daytime boss skirmishing and celestial stone assembly
The Sun Stone excels during daytime boss encounters, including surface battles against the Empress of Light. Combining it with a Moon Stone at a Tinkerer's Workshop produces the Celestial Stone, which removes the daylight restriction so bonuses apply 24 hours a day. While waiting to craft the hybrid stone, players can reforge the Sun Stone with Menacing or Warding to maximize its daylight potency.
Trivia
- The stone becomes inactive at 7:30 PM and reactivates promptly at 4:30 AM in-game time.
- Golem drops the Sun Stone alongside several other temple accessories with equal probability.
