Duke Fishron

Bio
Duke Fishron is a Hardmode boss. While he can be summoned as soon as Hardmode is initiated, he can pose a serious threat to new or underprepared players and should be fought later on in the game. Some players may challenge him with post-mechanical bosses gear, but most players may want to wait until post-Golem to battle him. Fighting Duke Fishron is completely optional and not required for game progression, but his defeat will reward the player with powerful weapons.

Spawn Conditions
Duke Fishron will attack in three different ways during the first phase. The first thing Fishron will do is begin his charging flurry. He will charge towards the player exactly five times, with a short pause between each charge.
After each charge, he will execute one of the two Projectile attacks:
• The first attack fires around 20 Detonating Bubbles;
• The second attack will create two small Bubbles on either side of where he is located that will each generate a Sharknado. The Sharknadoes are not only tall and do damage, but they also fire Sharkrons towards the player.
- Duke Fishron is summoned by fishing in the Ocean using a Truffle Worm as bait. The Truffle Worm is a rare critter that must be caught with the Bug Net, Golden Bug Net, or Lavaproof Bug Net in an underground Glowing Mushroom biome. Once the bobber bobs, reeling in the line spawns Duke Fishron, who emerges from the water, pauses for a moment, and then begins attacking the player.
- Summoning Duke Fishron does not require that any other bosses have been defeated beforehand, so on a technical level, he is only restricted by the Hardmode exclusive Truffle Worm, which can be used to spawn him in any world. If within the Ocean biome, he can also be summoned by fishing in lava or honey. The player's Fishing Power is irrelevant to the summoning, and Crate or Sonar potions will be wasted.
