"The chatter ends here. Prove to me your resolve, and I will show my own."

Nebuleus, Angel of the Cosmos is a post-Moon Lord boss that can be fought after Patient Zero.

While Nebuleus, Angel of the Cosmos is alive, the music Interstellar Isolation will play. While Nebuleus, Angel of the Cosmos' second phase is alive, the music Hypernova will play instead.


Spawn

Nebuleus is summoned using a Galaxy Stone at night. If Nebuleus' Ultimate Form has been encountered at least once, right clicking the Galaxy Stone will instantly summon her second form.

Behavior

Nebuleus is a stationary boss that floats in place, teleporting between attacks or if the player is too far away. She does not deal contact damage if she is not performing a physical attack. Every time she loses 25% of her HP, she will briefly pause and drop two heart pickups.

Nebuleus starts with five attacks but gains more as she enters each new subphase, while also enhancing some of her older ones. Most attacks introduced in a phase will be called out by text appearing above Nebuleus' head.

Attacks

  • At all times:
    • Star Blast - Shoots 3 bursts of 8 telegraphed stars from herself that arc outwards, alternating between moving right and left.
    • Starfall - Rains a mass of stars angled towards the players position.
    • Piercing Nebula - Quickly throws 3 piercing nebulas at the player.
    • Star Dash - Performs 4 consecutive predictive dashes towards the player, with each ending in her emitting a giant star from herself. The speed of the dash increases the further the player is from Nebuleus.
    • Nebula Dash - Vanishes, before teleporting above/below the player and dashing vertically 4 times.
  • Below 75% life:
    • Piercing Nebula Burst - Teleports around multiple times, firing a nebula burst with each teleport.
    • Erratic Star Blast - Fires curving stars all around her with random velocities.
    • Super Starfall - Rains down stars from the sky in a wider area, but more spaced out.
  • Below 50% life:
    • Chain of the Cosmos - Creates an inescapable aura around her, and throws 4 chains outwards. If the player is caught in one, Nebuleus will create a star and slam the player into them, dealing heavy damage.
    • Eyes of the Cosmos - Creates an inescapable aura around her, and telegraphs 8 laser beams that fire in a ring around herself.
    • Super Piercing Nebula - Replaces Piercing Nebula. Fires multiple nebula bursts in increasingly wide spreads.
    • Super Star Blast - Replaces Star Blast. Fires two rings of faster and larger star blasts, followed by a large ring of rotating stars.
  • Below 25% life:
    • Super Star Blast fires larger stars.
    • Super Piercing Nebula fires more shots.
    • Eyes of the Cosmos fires three additional Star Blasts immediately after the lasers fade.
    • Star Dash and Nebula Dash are much faster.
    • Crystal Stars - Rains down stars from the sky in a wider area that break into multiple shards.
  • When Nebuleus reaches 1% health, she will give some dialogue, and if the player has negative Alignment, she gives the option to initiate her final form by attacking her after she offers to end the fight.

Quotes

Most of the quotes that appear from her are displayed on the center of the screen in a color changing indigo and pink.
  • At the start of the battle:
    Nebuleus says the following in sequence:
    • "Ah, you have brought me here yourself."
    • "Forgive my prying eyes, for I have been observing thee from afar." ​If the player has positive alignment
    • "My eyes have loomed upon thee long enough, it is time to take action." ​If the player has negative alignment
    • "The daring hunt of all that threaten you brings a chill through my body."
    • "Thy presence is all-consuming within my thoughts, but I shan't run from this opportunity gifted to me."
    • "The chatter ends here. Prove to me your resolve, and I will show my own."
    • "If you lose to me, you may be spared from watchers far greater than I."
    If the player has died once to Nebuleus before and hasn't defeated her yet:
    • "You... are still alive?"
    • "You still want to fight?"
    If the player has defeated Nebuleus's Final Form
    • "Nebuleus is nowhere to be found..."
    At 75% HP
    • "Why do you blindly fight? What is your goal?"
    At 50% HP
    • "Do you even have a motive for your actions?"
    At 25% HP
    • "Still fighting? Well I'm not done yet!"
    Upon defeat:
    Nebuleus says the following in sequence:
    • "I would appear to be fighting a hopeless battle..."
    • "Ever since this island suddenly appeared, I have been watching."
    • "I've seen you be slain countless times, however you never truly die."
    • "It would seen most who've fought you never realize this."
    • "But I do."
    • "Whether it be intelligence, power, or something else, I still remember... "
    • "Time in the confines of this island seems to be dictated by powers unknown."
    • "..."
    • "... Say, if you killed someone unaffected by such powers..."
    • "... Would they die for good?"
    • "Whatever the case may be, I no longer wish to fight you..."
    • "You hath proven thy resolve." If the player has positive alignment
    • "Not like I could do anything to stop you." If the player has negative alignment
    • "And I... hath failed once more." If the player has positive alignment
    • "I hope you find it in thine heart to stop thy rampage." If the player has negative alignment
    • "I will be leaving forthwith, but we can always spar again. Farewell." If the player has positive alignment
    • "If you don't attack me now, I'll leave you be." If the player has negative alignment
    If the player is negative alignment, and spares her.
    • "Thank you..."
    • "At first I thought the concept of mercy was foreign to you."
    If the player is negative alignment, and they attack Nebuleus before her countdown ends.
    • "You still want to fight?"
    • "Of course it wouldn't be that easy..."
    • "You've had thy chance at redemption, so don't blame me..."
    • "... When you die a thousand times!"
    Upon transforming to her final form:
    • "I still have this hope in my mind that you're mortal, so even if I can't figure out how to be rid of you..."
    • "... There are still many foes greater than I!"
    • "... Epidotra's Protector..."
    • "... The Royal Knight..."
    • "... And the Demigod of Light..."
    • "But enough talk, I'm your opponent!"
    Upon defeat in her final form form:
    Nebuleus says the following in sequence the first time she is defeated:
    • "... That was all I had."
    • "And yet I still lost..."
    • "Fighting you and that traitor have confirmed my suspicions."
    • "I'm weak."
    • "I don't deserve being part of their group. I was only a burden."
    • "If the Demigod ever comes for you, don't let him know I'm still alive."
    • "I fear what he might think of me, and I don't want to face him."
    • "I don't expect sympathy from you, but I'll be gone for good now. Goodbye."
  • Aftermath

    • The Fool gains different set of dialogues and a different sprite, no longer has shop and a happiness option and will leave shortly afterward.

    Notes

    • If the player has defeated Nebuleus' Final Form and spawns her again, Nebuleus will be replaced by Nebuleus' Mirage. Albeit being a simple aesthetic change, Nebuleus' Mirage will not give quotes.

    Trivia

    • The idea for this boss was originally thought of by Kirill Greathly in the mod's homepage.
      • Kirill also originally named the boss “Corrupted Star God” until Hallam, the main developer of Mod of Redemption, remade the concept of the boss into what it currently is.
