**Paraffin** is an early-Hardmode boss intended to be fought after Wall of Flesh.

While Paraffin is alive, her own music, "**Paraffin's Theme**" will play.

## Spawn

Paraffin does not spawn on her own, she can be freed by unlocking the Tectonic Cage with a Tectonic Key. Upon opening will be attached to the player that unlocked the cage, and can be interacted with. She will stay as long as the player is near hell. Upon getting too far from it, she gets dizzy, goes down and despawns. Upon defeating her she will drop the Sinister Candle which can be used to summon her again afterwards.

## Behavior

* When rejected or challenged, she engulfs in rage, pushes the player away to not deal unfair contact damage and begins her battle.

### Attacks

#### Phase 1

* Candle spin - Paraffin goes stationary, Her sprite will become a Tornado, Paraffin will then start shooting fists at the player and circling the player going from slow to fast and then slow again before going dizzy
* Bass solo - Paraffin goes stationary, pulls out her Guitar, Plays a tune then Gold notes appear from the left & right of the Paraffin, This goes in a wave towards her going from down to up
* Flame Cheerios - Paraffin goes stationary, Sticks out her arms then summons 2 Circles at her side that fire more fire rings from Sideways to downwards
* Serpent dash - Paraffin goes stationary then dashes at the player, Once she has travelled far enough, Paraffin appears from the side of the player she originally dashes, Upon each new dash a Bone Serpent is spawned below the player which moves upwards

#### Phase 2

* Phase 2 is Expert Mode Exclusive.
* At 50% health, Paraffin gets more angry, begins hitting her head with a Pwnhammer and have her attacks boosted.
	+ Candle Spin's projectiles and speed are increased.
	+ Bass Solo's projectiles now become purple notes and collapse inwards in a circle formation.
	+ Flame Cheerios adds two more rings that fire upwards.
	+ Serpent Dashes are much faster with the addition of more Serpents spawning.

## Aftermath

Upon defeating her, she will drop her Sinister Candle which can be used to summon her again and will no longer be attached to the player. She will also drop a Troublesome Vessel, which will turn into Pandora's Cup upon favoriting, thus Seth can be fought.

There is a chance to meet Vulcan in the Underworld Domain.

## Quotes

### Before Rejecting

* "Ha ha ha! Ah, free at last! It's been a long two hours in this boring cage. Name's Paraffin, and you just hit the jackpot, because I'm the best friend you can possibly have, whether you like it or not! Together we're gonna rock this world!" (Interacting with her for the first time)
* "Me? Fading away? Ha ha ha, you're so funny! As long as I have some loving dupes around, I'm an eternal flame, baby!"
* "What's your favorite one of my many, many outstanding traits? Mine's my Humility!"
* "Big and loud! Things gonna get big and loud!"
* "Gee, it sure is boring around here! Are you even planning on having fun? I'm starving!"
* "I'm so not a villain, I have zero evil plan, No ulterior motives, Just wanna help where I care!"
* "Oh, I always liked pushing big red buttons! They are always shoved into the most prominent places, and when you push them, something exciting happens!"
* "No, we can't hold hands, we're not that close yet. You can try hugging Breathtaker, if you're that desperate."'
* "Did you know that if you re-join the world with the mod turned off, all the modded chests will be replaced with funny little fumo dolls? Nah, I'm just kidding, don't try it. Unless..?"
* "Based? Based on what?"
* [When the player is named Paraffin or paraffin] "That's not such a clever choice for a nickname, champ, you should try again!

### Rejecting

* "How could it be?... Was I not good enough for you?"
* "No one... No one dares to reject Paraffin!"

### After Rejecting and failing

* "Back for more?"
* "Come on, come on, shoot me!"
* "Don't act like everything is revolving around you. Your independence pisses me off!"
* "I bet in real life you're even uglier."
* "Ugh, why is it so hard to find someone who just likes you and doesn't want anything in return!?"
* "Don't even think i forgot about your rude behavior, you moron."
* "I'm guessing you've got a big, wild social life, don't ya?"

## Notes

* If the player spawns the Wall of Flesh while fighting her, she will instead run away and despawn off-screen.
* If the player dies while Paraffin is bound to them, she will shrug, and a Sit-Com Laugh track will play as she goes to the bottom of the screen.

## Lore

* According to Vulcan, Paraffin is a sculpture made of wax and ashes that was brought to life using the living flame from the cup. One of the reasons to create her was that people from Nexus will likely appreciate his work. She turned out to be too coarse and irritating. As Vulcan couldn't take the life of Paraffin without her will, he made another living sculpture to keep her away; this one was made from bones and stones and named Seth. And, to get her focus on Seth, he made him strong, hot and created the fictional vain story described in 'His Lore'. After thinking he was alone, Seth came to Vulcan exhausted and depressed. Apparently, even with his patience, he couldn't stand her shenanigans. Vulcan was about to make another living statue to cure his depression but realized that he's wasted all his living flames on Seth and Paraffin. Seth ended up ripping the living flame out of his chest and sealed it into the cup, leaving a pile of lifeless stones behind. Enraged after the loss of the beloved one, Paraffin blamed Vulcan for the Seth's imprisonment. She destroyed the ruins, took the cup along with the cage and set of keys and went deep underground with unknown intentions.

## Trivia

* Defeating Paraffin, the first message will say this: "**Paraffin blasting off again!**" Is very likely a reference to the very famous Team Rocket they say when Ash's team defeats them, that is from the very famous Anime series; Pokémon
* Paraffin's quote about fumo dolls is a reference to the FumoFumo series of plush characters, based on *Touhou Project* characters.
* Paraffin is a type of wax, which is most likely where the name comes from.
