The Ancient Herald is a Boss Monster that spawns during the Aporkalypse. If killed, it will respawn indefinitely, until the Aporkalypse ends. When it is killed, it drops five Dark Tatters, two or three Nightmare Fuels, a Blueprint for Vortex Cloak.

Brain Behavior

The Ancient Herald will rise from the ground somewhere on the player's screen a short time after the Aporkalypse begins. It will slowly pursue the player, losing interest if the player gets far enough away and then despawning after a while. If the player returns to the Ancient Herald, it will not be aggressive unless attacked.

It attacks by diving into the ground, emitting a shockwave that destroys structures and damages nearby enemies, setting them on fire similar to the Iron Hulk Head or Leg. In addition, it will periodically cast an incantation, summoning various creatures and attacks to help it. Each new Ancient Herald that spawns seems to 'prefer' certain summons than others, casting them far more often than it does any other.

Spear Hunting

The various monsters it spawns, coupled with the destructive power of its attack, means that this boss is very difficult to fight.
