The Aurorian

The Aurorian is the first modded dimension in the modpack progression sequence. It is always night in the Aurorian and stands are sealed, preventing their use.

### **Starting off**

To begin progressing in the mod, the player needs to mine for Moon Orbs, craft Aurorian Poral Frames, and arrange and light them as one would a Nether Portal. Moon orbs can be obtained by breaking Mob Spawners (Easiest Method) or by mining a rare ore that spawns underground. Once The Aurorian is reached, it is recommended to craft at least Cerulean armor (if current armor is inferior) and make a Dungeon Locator and Lockpicks to find and enter a Runestone Dungeon. As the only requirement for progression past The Aurorian is the collection of Shards of Oblivion from boss trophies, the dimension does not need to be fully-completed before advancing to the Abyssal Wasteland and beyond.

## Dungeon 1: Runestone Dungeon

Runestone Dungeons are the most common dungeon and take the form of a 5-story tower with a locked door at the bottom which can be unlocked with lockpicks. Each floor of the tower contains multiple mob spawners and at least one loot chest. Loot found in chests becomes progressively better on higher floors. Floors 1, 2, and 4 have the same general layout. Floor 3 is a tall room with many chests. Floor 5 contains the boss room and the loot room along the back wall.

#### **Mobs:**

* Moonbeast Knight
	+ Armored sword-wielding enemy. Very fast-moving, making them moderately dangerous. Inflict hunger on strike.
	+ Drops:
		- Soulless Flesh
* Aurorian Slime
	+ A slime-type enemy the size of the smallest vanilla slime size. Move very quickly and spawn in very high numbers. Potentially the most dangerous non-boss mob in Runestone Dungeons.
	+ Drops:
		- Aurorian Slimeballs
* **Night Terror (Runestone Dungeon Keeper) [Boss]**
	+ Wields a sword and bow, occasionally swapping between the two attack types. As it reaches lower health, its fire rate increases, making a shield essential.
	+ Drops:
		- Runestone Dungeon Keeper Trophy
		- Dungeon Keeper Amulet
		- Runestone Loot Key

## Dungeon 2: Darkstone Dungeon

Darkstone Dungeons are relatively common and take the form of a 2-layer maze of hallways buried underground. Many surfaces are covered in cobwebs, providing both a moderate obstacle and a good source of string. The dead-ends of hallways each contain a room with two chests. Loot found in chests is better on floor B2. The boss room is on floor B2 and traps the player inside once entered and has a loot area along its back wall that is blocked until the boss is cleared.

#### **Mobs:**

* Dream Spiderling
	+ Very small spiders spawned form the many spawners across the dungeon. Numerous, but generally not very threatening.
	+ Drops:
		- Spider Eye
* **Atlach-Nacha (Spider Mother) [Boss]**
	+ Chases the player around the arena and attacks with melee, occasionally climbing to the ceiling to spawn 2 waves of Dream Spiderlings, spawning 3-5 per wave. Sometimes spits a web at the player which deals damage and inflicts Slowness III for 1 second. May become stuck in a corner and climb to the ceiling, passing through the ceiling when attempting to summon Dream Spiderlings and suffocating to death, making the boss drops inaccessible. To avoid this, stay in the central region of the room.
	+ Drops:
		- Spider Mother Trophy
		- Dark Amulet

## Dungeon 3: Moon Temple

The most rarely-spawning and most difficult and rewarding dungeon in The Aurorian. The Moon Temple is intended to be fought in semi-lategame after already having moved to the Abyssalcraft dimensions, but, due to the predicable nature of the boss, can be fought at any progression level with enough skill. Contains a second locked door that must be unlocked by crafting a key from the 2 Moontemple Cell Key Fragments on the two lateral wings of the dungeon and a Moon Gem from one of the floating islands surrounding the dungeon.

#### **Mobs:**

* Crystalline Sprite
	+ Weak hostile mobs found in the Moon Temple and on its surrounding islands.
	+ Drops:
		- Crystal

* Aurorian Slime
	+ A slime-type enemy the size of the smallest vanilla slime size. Move very quickly and spawn in very high numbers. Potentially the most dangerous non-boss mob in Runestone Dungeons.
	+ Drops:
		- Aurorian Slimeballs
* **Lilith the Moon Queen [Boss]**
	+ Holds a sword and shield and takes turns approaching the player to attack and strafing around the player before guarding and performing a shield charge. When Lilith is charging her shield bash, she stands still and emits ominous ゴ particles. Lilith's shield bash does very high damage even to players in heavy armor, but can be easily dodged by sidestepping her straight path. Lilith guards with her shield at the beginning of her strafing movements and when charging her shield bash, making her impervious to attacks. As Lilith wears armor, she takes additional damage from weapons enchanted with Lightning.
	+ Drops:
		- Lilith Trophy
		- Spawns chest containing:
			* Crystal
			* Enchanted Book
			* Moonstone Equipment
			* Moonstone Ingot
			* Umbra Equipment
