Why won't Eye of Cthulhu spawn?

Why won't Eye of Cthulhu spawn? - Satisfied woman taking selfie on smartphone in studio

When I used the suspicious eye to summon Eye of Cthulhu at night, he wouldn't spawn. Is it a bug or do I need to do anything else? I have full health in red hearts, 13 defense, and I'm using a tungsten broadsword.



Best Answer

You can spawn Eye of Cthulhu with a Suspicious Looking Eye only if all of the following conditions are met:

  • It's nighttime (you should summon it at nightfall anyway since it will disappear at dawn)
  • It's not raining
  • You are not fighting a summoned Eye

Your item won't be consumed otherwise and nothing in particular will happen.

    The Eye Of Cthulhu is easy to spawn. You just need 6 Lens, which can be farmed from the smaller eyes that spawn during a regular night. Take those Lens to a Demon Altar or Crimson Altar and craft the Suspicious Looking Eye. Make sure to start the fight at around 7:30 PM in-game time.

    Does it have to be night to summon the eye of Cthulhu?

    The Eye of Cthulhu can only be summoned during night-time and will disappear without dropping any loot if the player does not kill it before daytime. Therefore, the best time to summon this monster would be soon after nightfall. That way, you'll have all night to defeat it.
