***"Another pathetic mortal to get in my way? Fantastic."***

**Artificial Sentience System, AX-P03** (Japanese: 人工感覚システム、AX-P03 *Jinkō kankaku shisutemu, AX - P 03*) is a secret Hardmode boss that is meant to be fought before the Moon Lord is defeated.

## Spawn

In order to summon AX-P03, you must use the Emergency Transfer Machine, which has a recipe that can be obtained by following these steps:

* Equip a Dimensional Communication Transfer Device in your accessories.
* Enter any  Arsenal Lab that isn't a Bio-Center.
	+ A GUI element that looks like a command prompt should appear on your screen that says `data sent to 'drdn@exOS-hell2' from 'AXP03@exOS-xsphr3'`.
		- If you have defeated the Moon Lord, you will not see this.
	+ The next line will contain a short message `success! placed at index:` and then a hexidecimal code (ex. `0x12AB34CD56EF`). Write it down, as it is random for each world.
* Go to the Underworld Bio-Center (quickly, as you only have 6 minutes to do so).
	+ One of the computers should be green instead of its normal blue color. Right click on it.
		- If the computer has been destroyed, placing another one back inside the lab will fix it.
	+ It will display a GUI element that looks like a command line.
		- Typing the 'HELP' command will display a list of commands - 'JUMP', 'EXEC' and 'HELP'.
	+ Type 'JUMP', add a space, then the code unique to your world.
		- If successful, it will display `VALID INDEX`. Otherwise, it will display `INVALID INDEX, RETRY`
	+ Now type 'EXEC'. The computer will now display 'ADDING PERSONAL BLUEPRINTS TO USER... SUCCESS'.
* You can now craft the Emergency Cortex Transfer Machine.

Upon summoning AX-P03 with the Emergency Cortex Transfer Machine, the screen will flash white as AX-P03 appears onscreen.

## Behavior

### Phase 1

In AX-P03's first phase, it will summon 10 Nano Repair Drones in a circular formation around itself. If these drones are not destroyed within 30 seconds, they will heal 5% of AX-P03's health per drone.

AX-P03 will cycle through a multitude of attacks, in order:

* Rapid fire fast-moving Attack Missiles in a circular formation
* Shoot slow-moving Attack Missiles in a radial, alternating formation
* Shoot five Attack Drones that slowly home in on the player

### Phase 2

Upon reaching 50% health, AX-P03 will enter Phase 2 and shoot an unavoidable Hyper Neutralizer Drone that homes toward the player and inflicts them with the 'HyperNeutralized' debuff which will cause the player to die in a single hit. AX-P03 will cycle through upgraded versions of its phase 1 attacks:

* Rapid fire fast-moving Attack Missiles a circular formation, this time moving a sine wave
* Shoot slow-moving Attack Missiles in a much more packed radial, alternating formation
* Shoot ten Attack Drones that slowly home in on the player
