***Map Icon***

**One-Shot** is a mid Pre-Hardmode boss, intended to be fought after the Eater of Worlds or the Brain of Cthulhu.

While One-Shot is alive, his own theme "**One-Shot**" will play

## Spawn

One-Shot will spawn on his own in the Stranded Ship biome in the form of the Ice Prison anywhere in or near the Stranded Ship. Upon destroying the ice prison, the fight will begin. Alternatively, after he has been defeated, he can be summoned with a Snow Beacon in the Stranded Ship biome. He cannot spawn if he exists in any form in the world, including:

* One-Shot's spawn animation;
* One-Shot's boss form;
* One-Shot's falling form post-defeat;
* Mirage's NPC group that spawns after her defeat.

## Behavior

Upon being summoned, One-Shot looks around, takes off his hat and bows, and then teleports and starts the fight. One-Shot always teleports to a random place after attacking, and executes a new attack.

### Attacks

#### Phase 1

* One-Shot uses his pistol to create 5 target marks, and then shoots towards them;
* He sends a snow cloud that travels horizontally and throws icy shurikens;
* He throws a circular saw 3 times at a fixed angle; the saws either:
	+ travel in a sound wave formation one after another or
	+ travel in a circular motion and then horizontally around One-Shot's standing height;
* He rides on top of a Witness, remaining at a fixed distance above the player, and throws icy bombs that explode upon hitting solid blocks; the explosions also deal damage;
* He shoots towards the player three times, each shot consisting of multiple bullets that move in straight lines, spreading within a fixed angle; the number of bullets increases with each shot, going from 3, to 4 and 5.

#### Phase 2

When One-Shot's health drops below 50%, the second phase of the fight starts. His glasses fall and he is surrounded by a cosmetic effect similar to the light blue flames produced by the Hades Dye. When in this form, One-Shot's attacks become more intense:

* The snow cloud moves much quicker and shoots more icy shurikens;
* He uses his pistol much quicker, and the bullets move much faster;
* He throws two circular saws three times, and they move much faster; the second saw moves below, mirroring the movement of the one above;
* He uses his pistol to create 5 target marks twice in diagonal lines. He then shoots with his pistol quickly towards those marks.

## Aftermath

Upon being defeated, One-Shot drops his loot and is briefly surrounded by sparks of electricity before falling down through blocks and despawning. Defeating One-Shot for the first time will allow the Librarian to spawn.

## Notes

* One-Shot drops 3 Elements Of Ice upon being defeated for the first time, but he will only drop 1 element on any future rematch.

## Lore

Throughout a modded playthrough, the player can collect various bits of information that help piece together One-Shot’s story.

According to Genoshi, Oscar Loneshot used to be a scientist and inventor in the Nexus. At some point, he started stealing resources and experimenting with forbidden technology, which led to him becoming a wanted criminal in the Nexus. Oscar escaped to the player’s dimension with his base, his entourage, all of his possessions and research material. However, he miscalculated the landing coordinates and his sail ship ended up in the Underground Tundra, stuck under tons of ice, which caused the death of most of the crew, save for one.

After the player summons Spirit, she mistakes them for Oscar or one of his crew, calling them a criminal and deciding to attack them. After Spirit is defeated, her boss Genoshi arrives in the player's dimension, both curious about the player and aware that it is the dimension where Oscar has landed. Indeed, Genoshi is the one who instigated the inhabitants of the Nexus to chase Oscar, and personally travels to the player's dimension in pursuit of the fugitive.

In hardmode, the player can challenge Mirage, who is later revealed to be Oscar's secret lover: Mirage came looking for him after he had gone missing. After being defeated, she can occasionally be found in the Underground Tundra, combing One-Shot's hair and lamenting his fate. The Librarian is found alongside the two, and he explains that he remembered being Oscar's agent, and that he decided to stay with his boss and protect him from Genoshi.

## Trivia

* Taking Genoshi the Collector to the Stranded Ship and then summoning One-Shot will cause Genoshi to instantly despawn.
* In an earlier version of the mod, fighting One-Shot while having the Symbolic Gift equipped made him behave as though he were in the Second Phase of the fight.
* When fighting One-Shot and Mirage at the same time, both bosses recover life over time and emit red hearts. The latter is a cosmetic effect similar to the one caused by the vanilla Love Potion.
* According to Agent Blank, Oscar could have made his base sturdier, but his passion for pirate-themed objects made him choose a frail wooden ship instead, which turned out to be far from optimal when it became stranded in ice.
* On his wanted poster, Oscar is described as introverted and unmarried.
* According to Mirage, Oscar had trouble keeping his hair out of his face; the Hairpin he used to drop was likely a reference to his rebellious hair. However, the Hairpin is no longer available in the new versions of the mod.
