If the stylist dies in Terraria, there are a few different outcomes depending on the circumstances. Let’s explore each possibility in detail:
1. If the stylist is killed by a player: If a player intentionally kills the stylist, she will drop her items and disappear from the game. Her items can be collected by the player as loot. However, it’s important to note that killing NPCs in Terraria can have negative consequences, such as decreased NPC happiness and potential penalties from the Dryad’s “Purity” mechanic.
2. If the stylist is killed by an enemy: If an enemy kills the stylist, her death will trigger a respawn. When this happens, she will respawn in a random house, just like any other NPC. The location of her new house will depend on the availability of suitable housing in the world. If there are no vacant houses, you may need to build one to accommodate her.
3. If the stylist is killed in a spider biome: If the stylist dies in a spider biome, she will also respawn, but this time she will respawn in a random spider biome. This can be problematic if you haven’t yet freed her from her captivity in the spider biome. In this case, you’ll need to search for her in spider biomes and potentially rescue her again.
It’s worth mentioning that the stylist is a unique NPC in Terraria, as she can only be found and rescued in spider biomes. As such, her death and subsequent respawn can be a bit more complicated compared to other NPCs. It’s always a good idea to ensure her safety and provide suitable housing to prevent any unnecessary deaths.
To summarize, if the stylist dies in Terraria, she will either drop her items and disappear if killed by a player, or she will respawn in a random house if killed by an enemy. If she dies in a spider biome, she will respawn in a random spider biome unless she has already been freed, in which case she will respawn in a house like any other NPC.
