New page

New Ranch adds 13 bosses and 7 minibosses, from the barn in the first days to the end of the game. With the Boss Checklist mod installed they appear in its list in the order below. Life, damage and defense are Normal mode values; several hardmode bosses scale their life in Expert and Master mode with their own factor.

Every boss with a treasure bag also drops a trophy (1 in 10), a mask (1 in 7) and a Master Mode relic, plus [[NewRanch:Field Notes|Field Notes]].

== Pre-Hardmode bosses ==
; [[NewRanch:The Rat King|The Rat King]]
: Summoned with a [[NewRanch:Moldy Loaf|Moldy Loaf]] (Grain Loaf, 6 Acorns, 5 Leaves at a Work Bench); no time or place required. A ground fighter that scurries, crouches and leaps. The leap is telegraphed and does not steer. He calls up to 5 rats and gets faster below half life. Drops the [[NewRanch:Scavenger's Pouch|Scavenger's Pouch]] and acorns.
; [[NewRanch:The Old Crow|The Old Crow]]
: Summoned with a [[NewRanch:Bait Sack|Bait Sack]] (20 Seeds, 15 Leaves, 3 Barn Bar), or wakes when you stand in the hall of the Crow Nest in the sky while he is undefeated. He hovers, swoops with a three-quill burst, drops quills and calls Field Crows every third swoop. Drops [[NewRanch:Old Crow's Feather|Old Crow's Feathers]]; the [[NewRanch:Crow's Eye|Crow's Eye]] comes from the bag. Defeating him unlocks the Eye of Cthulhu (by default), Blight Night, Murder in the Sky, the Roost Crow and the [[NewRanch:Living Scarecrow|Living Scarecrow]].
; [[NewRanch:The Cursed Tractor|The Cursed Tractor]]
: Summoned with a [[NewRanch:Rusted Key|Rusted Key]] (6 Deeproot Bar, 10 Leaves at an Anvil). It revs and charges, throwing dirt clods behind it. After every third charge the engine stalls for 2 seconds with 0 defense: that is the damage window. Drops the [[NewRanch:Plowshare|Plowshare]] and Iron Bars. Unlocks the Forgotten Ranch.
; [[NewRanch:Sand Pharaoh|Sand Pharaoh]]
: Summoned with [[NewRanch:Pharaoh's Call|Pharaoh's Call]] (Scarab Idol, Pharaoh's Seal, 20 Ancient Sandstone at an Anvil) in the underground desert after Skeletron.

; [[NewRanch:The Storm Herald|The Storm Herald]]
: Summoned with a [[NewRanch:Storm Call|Storm Call]] (3 Storm Shard, 10 Sunplate at the Skyforge) at sky height above a storm island, or appears by himself during sky storms. Blinks and fires bolts, then pushes you with wind, then turns into a dark cloud with lightning. Drops the [[NewRanch:Windward Charm|Windward Charm]], sometimes the [[NewRanch:Stormcaller|Stormcaller]], and Storm Shards.
; [[NewRanch:The Strawman|The Strawman]]
: Summoned at night with a [[NewRanch:Blight Effigy|Blight Effigy]] (12 Hay, 5 Wild Grain, 1 Old Crow's Feather at a Work Bench). He stays rooted, throws straw sickles and reappears nearby; below half life he calls crows. Drops the [[NewRanch:Strawman's Charm|Strawman's Charm]] and Hay.

: Summoned in Hardmode with a [[NewRanch:Harvest Sheaf|Harvest Sheaf]] (20 Wild Grain, 15 Turnip, 15 Flax, 3 Harrow Bar at a Mythril Anvil). She lunges horizontally (dodge upwards), fires shards, calls adds and eats crops within 18 tiles during the fight. Drops [[NewRanch:Chitin Plate|Chitin Plates]]; [[NewRanch:Swarmward|Swarmward]] from the bag. By default the mechanical bosses wait for her.
; [[NewRanch:Frost Giant|Frost Giant]]

; [[NewRanch:Glacial Worm|Glacial Worm]]
: Lives at the bottom of a glacier and finds you there. It tunnels only through ice; a stone platform is safe.
; [[NewRanch:The Alpha Wolf|The Alpha Wolf]]
: Summoned at night with a [[NewRanch:Bloody Haunch|Bloody Haunch]] (Boar Haunch, 3 Bone). He has 52 defense while more than two pack wolves live, 22 otherwise, howls for wolves and heals while his wolves surround livestock.

Drops Prismatic Cores, Lumenite Bars and one Prism weapon. Afterwards Prism Rain comes twice as often.
; [[NewRanch:Borer Queen|Borer Queen]]
: Summoned with a [[NewRanch:Resin Lure|Resin Lure]] after a mechanical boss. At 75%, 50% and 25% she hides in a nearby tree; hit the tree three times or use another lure to drive her out.

; [[NewRanch:The Infernal Warden|The Infernal Warden]]

; [[NewRanch:The Raven King|The Raven King]]

; [[NewRanch:The Combine|The Combine]]

; [[NewRanch:The Gleaner|The Gleaner]]
: Summoned at dusk with a [[NewRanch:Last Sheaf|Last Sheaf]] after the Lunatic Cultist. Four stances (scythe, flail, pitchfork, sling). He picks up items lying near him and heals 150 life for each. Drops [[NewRanch:Gleaner's Scythe|Gleaner's Scythe]]; [[NewRanch:Wreath of Ears|Wreath of Ears]] from the bag.

== Changed vanilla progression ==
With the world setting ''Vanilla bosses wait for the farm'' on (default), three vanilla steps are locked:
* '''Eye of Cthulhu''' waits for [[NewRanch:The Old Crow|The Old Crow]]. The Suspicious Looking Eye cannot be used and the Eye does not come on its own. Its new recipe is 6 Lens and 6 Old Crow's Feather at a Demon Altar.
* '''The mechanical bosses''' wait for [[NewRanch:The Swarm Mother|The Swarm Mother]]. Their summons cannot be used before, and their new recipes each need 3 Chitin Plate.
* '''Wall of Flesh''' waits for the [[NewRanch:Vermin Board|Vermin Board]]. Ten bosses each drop one [[NewRanch:Trophy Nail|Trophy Nail]]: King Slime, Eye of Cthulhu, the Rat King, Eater of Worlds or Brain of Cthulhu, the Old Crow, Queen Bee, the Cursed Tractor, Skeletron, Deerclops and the Strawman. Once all ten are defeated, craft the Vermin Board (10 Trophy Nails, 8 planks, Work Bench) and place it. Until then Voodoo Demons do not spawn and the Wall cannot be summoned. The Sand Pharaoh and the Storm Herald are not needed.

Other requirements are always active: Pharaoh's Call needs Skeletron, the Harvest Sheaf needs Hardmode, the Resin Lure needs a mechanical boss, the Ignition Key needs Plantera and the Last Sheaf needs the Lunatic Cultist.
