Santa-NK1 is a Hardmode, mini-boss that spawns during the Frost Moon event. When below half health, the face and beard of the Santa mask will be torn apart to reveal a rather morbid skull underneath.

Attack Phases

Santa-NK1 repeatedly cycles through three attack phases:

  • First phase: Chain gun fires bullets at the player.
  • Second phase: Presents launch high, then rain down via parachute from above, causing damage on contact with players. These travel through blocks.
  • Third phase: Rocket barrage. These also travel through blocks.

While moving, it also drops large spiked balls on the ground that deal high damage (120-150+ with Chlorophyte armor). These increase in frequency as Santa-NK1 takes damage.

Notes

  • The drop rate linearly increases from Wave 13 (or 15) to 20.
  • Santa-NK1 currently has one of the highest damage rates in the game.
  • He also has one of the highest defenses in Terraria, at 56.

Tips

  • Note that his Present launch and rocket barrage attacks are highly inaccurate.
  • If you use wings you can fly over him back and forth and make it harder for him to hit you with the chain gun and the rocket barrage

Trivia

  • "Santa-NK1" is a play on the phrase "Santank" (ie. Santa Tank), the name used when the enemy was announced.
  • Its arm appears to be the Chain Gun, which it sometimes drops.
  • Template:Mobile icon In the Mobile version, Santa-NK1's face does not get torn off when its health is depleted, instead will tear off upon death.

History

  • 1.2.3.1: Its Projectiles are fired slower and do less damage.
