Like the Phantasmal Spheres, they cannot travel at an upward angle, so they can be evaded by swerving upwards.
The hand eyes also spawn multiple Phantasmal Eyes, which move in all directions for a short while before homing in on the player. If the player is far enough away, they simultaneously charge at the player before exploding, though they cannot travel at an angle higher than approximately 30 degrees in any direction.
After a couple of seconds, the hand eye shuts as the Phantasmal Spheres explode, dealing heavy damage.
One of Moon Lord's hands moves away from the core while its eye gradually spawns six Phantasmal Spheres. The Moon Lord in battle firing his Phantasmal Deathray. When Otherworldly music (Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) is enabled, the track Lunar Boss (Otherworldly) (Otherworldly).mp3 will play instead. While Moon Lord is alive, his exclusive music Moon Lord will play. If using a Celestial Sigil to summon the Moon Lord, it takes 12 seconds for the Moon Lord to spawn, and the screen effect will only appear once. If Moon Lord is spawned by destroying the Celestial Pillars, it takes 60 seconds for the Moon Lord to spawn, and the screen effect will appear 5 times each time the screen will go darker and all objects and walls will oscillate more violently.
During the countdown, the screen will go dim and all objects and walls will oscillate back and forth, and then go back to normal, and the sound volume will gradually decrease, eventually becoming completely silent. The status message " Impending doom approaches." indicates the Moon Lord's spawning countdown. The Moon Lord can be spawned by destroying the four Celestial Pillars or by using a Celestial Sigil in any world where Golem has been defeated. He is the final boss of the Desktop, Console, and Mobile versions of Terraria. Moon Lord is a Hardmode, post- Lunatic Cultist boss.
