What Are The Twins?

The Twins are a Hardmode mechanical boss in Terraria, serving as an upgraded counterpart to the Eye of Cthulhu. They consist of two distinct entities: Retinazer, which uses laser-based attacks, and Spazmatism, which employs a flamethrower. Together, they offer one of the most challenging fights in Terraria's early Hardmode stage, testing both mobility and combat skills.

Notable Drops:

  • Souls of Sight (used in crafting powerful Hardmode items)
  • Hallowed Bars (material for advanced armor and weapons)
  • Twin Mask and Trophy
  • Coins and other miscellaneous loot

How To Summon The Twins

Mechanical Eye Method

This is the primary method to summon The Twins. The Mechanical Eye is a Hardmode summoning item crafted using materials found after defeating the Wall of Flesh.

Required Materials:
  • 6 Lenses: Dropped by Demon or Wandering Eyes.
  • 5 Iron/Lead Bars: Crafted from Iron or Lead Ore at a Furnace.
  • 3 Souls of Light: Collected in the Underground Hallow biome by defeating enemies.

Craft the Mechanical Eye at a Mythril or Orichalcum Anvil and use it at night. Note, that the item cannot be used during the day, and summoning will fail if attempted outside nighttime.

Natural Spawn Method

The Twins may also spawn naturally with a 1/10 (10%) chance at dusk after a Demon or Crimson Altar has been destroyed, provided they have not yet been defeated at least once in the current world.
