Spawn[ | ]

The Ancient Dragon will not spawn on its own. After the Tiki Totem has been defeated, Ruin Ghosts will spawn in the underground Ruins mini-biome and also spawn if there is a substantial amount of Clay Bricks in an area. Ruin Ghosts holding a lantern have a chance of dropping a Rusty Lantern, which can be used at a Ruin Altar to summon the Ancient Dragon.

Behavior[ | ]

The Ancient Dragon burrows through blocks while trying to reach the player. When it reaches 50% of its' health, each body segment can shear off when hit, turning into a Baby Dragon.

Attacks[ | ]

The Ancient Dragon charges towards the player.

Expert Mode[ | ]

The Ancient Dragon can inflict the Stoned debuff for 4 seconds when damages the player.

Notes[ | ]

The Ancient Dragon can be summoned at any time of day.
It will burrow down offscreen and despawn when outside the Ruins.

Tips[ | ]

For strategies on how to defeat the Ancient Dragon see Guide:Ancient Dragon Strategies.

Piercing weapons are highly effective, as damage on each body segment will be dealt to the Ancient Dragon's total HP.
Consider a Summon damage build, as your minions will still be active while you're petrified.
Unlike other worm-type enemies, the Ancient Dragon is knocked back when struck by player attacks, making the fight extremely simple if the player has any minions or weapons that attack quickly
