Pre-Lunar Events[ | ]
No major upgrades happen between Golem and the Lunatic Cultist, however by now you should have fought Duke Fishron for Duke Flasks, a very powerful flask weapon. The Martian Saucer drops the Martian Sprayer, an incredibly powerful sprayer and the best until the start of Tremode.

Pre-Tremode[ | ]
After defeating the Nova Pillar, you now have access to the Nova Flask and Nova Sprayer. Many of your previously effective flasks will become obsolete in the Moon Lord fight, and the Long Fuse is neccessary to be able to reach the eyes of the Moon Lord. The Nova Sprayer doesn't use Flasks as ammo, so the Martian Sprayer is still an extremely effective weapon when paired with Phantom Flasks.

Pre-Dark Emperor[ | ]
Tremode brings many new weapons and your old weapons start to become useless against new enemies and bosses. Most of your items here come from the Lunar Events, Luminite and crafting with Tremode materials. You also should have Nova armor from the Moon Lord by now.

Pre-Space Whale and Trinity[ | ]
The Brutallisk also unlocks a new alchemist set, the White Master armor, a set based around life regen and even more defense but slightly less damage output than Shadowmaster.
The Space Whale doesn't unlock anything for Alchemists so players will likely have to keep the same setup for Trinity and maybe even Andas.
