Overview #
The Prism Archer is a ranged custom mob found in the Diamond Mine area. It wears leather armor trimmed with diamond and carries a glowing bow, keeping its distance and peppering you from range. Like every foe in Timelords, it is a PvE target only. You never fight other players.
Its 35% 😐 damage reduction makes it noticeably tougher than a Cave Crawler, but it's far squishier than the Gemstone Guardian. It slowly heals back ~17 ❤ (10% of max) every 15 seconds while it isn't taking hits, so commit to the kill rather than trading pokes.
Splitting Arrows #
The archer's signature trick: every arrow it fires travels 10 blocks, then splits into three: the original plus two more that fan out to either side. A single shot can become a wall of arrows if you're standing far enough away, so the danger actually grows with distance.
Stack Defense 😐 from armor and armor relics to shrug off the barrage, and keep your Health ❤ topped up between fights.
Drops #
Only players who deal at least 10% of the archer's total damage receive loot, and each qualifying player rolls the table independently. Chances below are the base odds. Your Loot Luck ⭐ improves the luck-sensitive ones (see Loot & Loot Luck).
| Drop | Rarity | Chance |
|---|---|---|
| Flesh | Common | Always |
| Pure Diamonds (1–3) | Rare | 1 / 12 |
| Gemstone Core component | Epic | 1 / 120 |
| Undead Core component | Epic | 1 / 125 |
| Diamond Chip artifact | Epic | 1 / 250 |
| Prism accessory | Epic | 1 / 450 |
| Tectonic Heart Tectonic only | Legendary | 1 / 1000 |
The standout is Pure Diamonds at a generous 1 in 12, so farming Prism Archers is a solid way to build toward the upgrade tree early. Gemstone and Undead Cores are crafting drill components. The Tectonic Heart is conditional: it only drops for players who currently hold the Tectonic alignment, and it's needed to trade for the Deep Breaker.
Signature Drop: the Prism Accessory #
The archer shares its name with its rarest non-conditional prize, the Prism accessory (Epic, 1 / 450). Worn in your Accessory Bag, it grants bonus Crit Power 💥 and +5–15% Mining Speed ⛏, blending combat and mining boosts in a single slot.
Like all gear in Timelords, the Prism and everything else the archer drops are kept through every reset: Seconds, Chrono Dust, Time Leap, Intelligence, and Era. Items never reset.
Tips & Related #
Close inside 10 blocks so its arrows never split, then finish it in melee.
At 1 / 12 Pure Diamonds, it's an efficient early diamond source.
Higher Loot Luck ⭐ means more chances at Cores and the Prism.
