This is a showcase of the awesome Nihilus rework coming up in the 1.2 True Mode Overhaul! I enjoyed taking part in its development. It took a long while but it’s finally here.

I guess the colbalt shield and it’s upgrades are required in case you got hit by a rock during the extinction ray. This rework has to be one of my favorite boss reworks I have ever seen in modded Terraria.
this is incredible!!! the visuals, the sound design, the camera!!! this is one of the most high effort boss fights i’ve seen in a mod. well done! can’t wait to download and try it for myself
Woah, this fight just…has alot of content lmao. I love how the fight is a multistage process, and you can actually hear the full song. It's a long fight but it has the content, mechanics, and visuals to back up the length which is actually awesome. Can't imagine the insane amount of work out into this.
This has to be one of the best modded fights ever,it looks dificult but fair and visually very beautiful
Really good timing with the music
I love sfx
I can feel 1.2 on the horizon
if this its the main boss of the mod its lame
Y'know, I've been fairly critical of SoA throughtout my experience with it. But watching this gives me a real impression that shit is about to get way better. I'm excited to see what this update brings to the table!
Tf, p u m p k i n

Ok but when does it come to 1.4
Woo! Awsome!
Definitely will have to try this mod out!
After years, we finally get to see nihilus rework, and let me tell you, this is one HELL OF A REWORK everything about it is incredible!! Its definetly a Hugee improvement over the previous one.
Cant wait to fight it:)))
I that a Abaddon rematch I see? I love that fight, the music is great for it too. Also, good remake, the beginning looks a little easy but other than that, a far better version of the fight. It's also entirely possible that it's not and it just looks that way. This mod is great, glad to see it continue further.
A work of art, nothing short of that
Can you show an animation if Nihilus has more than 5 lanterns active, will erazor try to stun him and get knocked out or theres just no animation?
Bosses like these in other mods always makes me wish Fabsol would consider adding cooler attack patterns and mechanics to Calamity's bosses rather than picking patterns, and modifying assets from the base-game.
Storm Weaver, Ceaceless Void and Supreme Calamitas are already step in the right direction, however in my opinion while storm weaver's new attacks use vanilla assets, the patterns are already enough to make that not a problem, but it's a shame the movement AI is a little aids.
I'm Patrick Bateman, I'm Anton Chighur, I'm Trevis Bicikle, I'm The Joker, I'm Ryan Gosling from the Drive, i'm Tyler Dur
Just ended up seeing this, but damn can't wait for 1.4
1.2 will release on 1.4?
Now that's a true boss fight!!
Flaming Pumpkin rework soon I see!
One concern i have is that the boss may be too long, and while it's shown that longer bosses can work (the blushie boss fight, enraged spirit of purity for example), those bosses have checkpoints so you aren't required to do the whole fight over again. Something like having the boss give an item to instantly start phase 2 seems good here.
ive seen a couple vids about this mod but i cant seem to find in in tmod loader , when i search for shadow of abbadon, it doesnt find anything
Wait this mod is available to play? Oh you know I'm trying this out ASAP!
WELL THAT Looks impressive 👍
Damn this is way better than what i experienced, i managed to defeat nihilus in roughly 2 minutes and had to use the nurse only once and that wasn’t probably necessary, now it’s a 10 minute fight giving a tough, but fair challenge, and my favorite part, utilizing the entire song
im still used to the true mode fight from 3 years ago with the old theme, glad to see the change this mod has gotten
Wonder how this would look like with ~8 players, it genuinely feels like a raid boss so yeah XD
Also absolutely phenomenal sound design in this boss fight, love the hurt sounds of the boss and minions.
