Void Wizard

The Void Wizard is the third boss the Elder wants you to fight. He is found on the bottom floor of the Dungeon Entrance, and the fight begins as soon as you attack him. To reach the entrance, craft a Dungeon Map at your Workstation, consume it, and then check the World Map to locate the entrance. After defeating him once, you can summon him again with a Void Caller.

The battle takes place in an arena where furniture cannot be destroyed. Candlebras can block your projectiles, but they do not stop the Void Wizard’s attacks. Banner Stands can still be placed there once you have access to them later in the game. The reward from the Elder for defeating him is the Void Pouch.

During his first phase, the Void Wizard uses several ranged attacks:

• A sniper-style volley, where he stands still and launches many missiles after they appear around him. The missiles fire in the direction they are facing when they first appear.
• A fan attack that releases a spread of homing bolts at the target.
• A clone attack, which is his most dangerous move. Do not destroy the clones, as doing so creates a bouncing projectile that remains in the arena for the rest of the fight. The clones disappear on their own after a few seconds.

As the fight goes on, he sends out more bouncing projectiles. At 50% health, he transforms and gains a new wave attack. In this second phase, he can move while using his other attacks and no longer summons clones. His transformation lasts for quite a while, giving a good opening to burst him down.

His attack damage was reduced in later updates: the bouncing bolt, missile, wave, and homing bolt attacks were all nerfed across versions 0.21.12 and 0.21.18.
