Behaviour

If you hear the eerie droning of a broken record in the distance, don't make the mistake of looking for it unless you're ready to fight.

The paracusia is a relatively strong miniboss for early-game players. She will fire a triple-shot of sound waves in a cone shape. Getting caught in one will tank your sanity and hurt a bit. She can also fire a large soundwave that will break blocks you're standing on if you get caught in it. Additionally, if you get close, she will attack you with spiked legs.

If a player is caught in a soundwave, the paracusia will become hostile, gaining a large speed boost and resorting to melee combat. During this state, floating mouths called "cacklers" will spawn encircling you and fire their own sound waves that will deal damage. Eventually, the paracusia will calm down, though being caught in sound waves increases the aggression timer.

Spawning

Paracusia spawning is not dependent on sanity, and only one will spawn within a large radius in deepslate caves. They will only spawn in low light level.
