"Mechanical whirls beneath the ground, be wary of the deadly sound"

The Omega Gigapora is a Hardmode boss fought after Golem and is the second of the 3 fightable Omega Prototypes.

While the Omega Gigapora is alive, the music Armageddon Interface will play.

Spawn

The Omega Gigapora is summoned by using the 2nd option of the Omega Transmitter, after golem has been defeated, at night. Upon being used, the Wielder Bot will appear and show off his drill. Upon use of the drill, the screen will shake until the boss emerges from the ground, which will then kill the Wielder Bot and start the fight.

Behavior

The Omega Gigapora is a worm-type enemy that can both burrow through the ground and fly through the air, attempting to ram the player and occasionally using special attacks. Its body is covered by a barrier that negates all damage taken, but it will periodically dispatch vulnerable Shield Cores to attack the player. Defeating a Shield Core will deal 16% of Gigapora's HP as damage to it and disable one part of the shield on its body, causing the exposed parts to become vulnerable and take 80% increased damage. Gigapora will release the first two Cores one at a time, but will release the last 4 in pairs, only releasing the new Core(s) when the previous one(s) are destroyed. The Shield Cores will also have a visual beam that points towards Gigapora's current position.

Defeating all 6 Shield Cores will cause Gigapora to explode, instantly ending the fight. Gigapora can also be defeated by manually depleting its HP, although this is more difficult due to its shielded segments and massive HP.

Attacks

  • When above ground, periodically fires a barrage of lasers perpendicular to its body segments, indicated by faint warning lines in advance.
  • Flies above the player and starts chasing above them. After a delay, perpendicular flamethrowers will fire from Gigapora's body segments, which spray flaming debris downwards. Its tail segment will also be spraying out a huge shower of debris behind itself to prevent players from hiding behind Gigapora.
  • Dashes towards the player and circles around them, releasing a large number of laser bombs that each explode into a plus pattern of laser bolts.
  • 1 Core destroyed: Drills under the player and lunges straight up at them. At the apex of its lunge, it will release a large spray of debris that rains down from above.
  • 2 Cores destroyed / below 50% HP: Gigapora surfaces and opens its drill, charging up power. After a delay, it will fire a massive sustained laser beam that slowly sweeps the area and tracks the player's position. Note that Gigapora's body segments can still fire lasers during this attack.

Shield Core

  • Every Shield Core beyond the first will gain +10% maximum HP compared to the previous one, up to +50% for the last Shield Core summoned in the fight.
  • Fires accelerating laser bolts at the player.
  • Charges up and shoots two red energy orbs that home in on the player.
  • Flies above the player and unleashes a barrage of electric bolts around them, each one telegraphed by a cloud of red sparks.
  • Will not attack when Gigapora is using its cross bombs, flamethrowers, or head laser.

Aftermath

These quotes appear from Girus in order:

  • "Hah, not bad!"
  • "A little sad how useless Teochrome’s shield technology was,"
  • "can’t completely encompass something as the Shield projector will throw a hissy-fit if it’s inside."
  • "I did get some ideas on how to use this to my advantage, though…"
  • "Anyways! Same as last time, I’ll ready another machine for a test."
  • "Might take a bit longer though, as I’ll try out a design of my own. Until then."

Trivia

  • The name Gigapora comes from the word Giga and Pora, the Finnish for Drill.
    • Additionally, Gigapora's old name was Gigapede, a portmanteau of the words Giga and Centipede.

BestiaryBestiary entries

  • Omega Gigapora: "A modified tunnelling machine, originally of Teochrome design, retrofitted with rocket boosters, various weaponry and very experimental projected shield technology. Gigapora's shield projectors are prone to overheating and melting if they're inside the projected shield, hence why they're outside."
  • Shield Core: "These bulky, lightweight drones hold experimental shield projectors in their lower half. If damaged, the projector may malfunction and violently release its energy right back into the segments it was protecting."
