Three questions regarding the Lunar Events (help needed)

[Samu]

Hello, unfortunately I have triggered the Lunar Events before I was prepared.

I'd like to know if:

a) The Lunar Events prevent any other events from occurring simultaneously (for example, the Martian Madness event) or the arrival of the merchant.

b) I have beaten one of the 4 celestial pillars, if I destroy all 4, I'm aware the Moonlord will attack (it's an expert mode World), I do not believe I am ready to beat him yet. If I lose to him, will the cultists return so I can manually re-trigger the event, or will it just restart again automatically?

Overall, I'm wondering whether I can just destroy 3 of the pillars and ignore the final one for some time, and play the game as normal, or whether doing so will prevent me from completing the other things I wanted to do first?

a) Yes, and merchant can spawn if daytime
b) The cultists will respawn again
And you could kill all 4 pillars then just loose against moonlord as you can just re trigger the event

If you lose against moon lor,the cultist will spawn again at the dungeon and you will have to destroy the 4 pillars again. you can continue what you need to do even if you destroy the first pillar.

Just like the OP say, can i just destroy 1 or 2 pillar at a time and come back later? Or the event will just keep running until I defeat Moon Lord?

Right now, I'm in normal world and still preparing for that event. I can't even beat Duke Fishron yet. So yeah, still long way ahead of me.

The event will go on until the Moon Lord has appeared. It doesn't matter if you win or die against him, the event will end. You can always do it again, the cultists will re-appear.

As long as you're out of the Pillar zones, you can pretty much do whatever you want, just like before.

The pillars will also remain even if you relog. So if you take down 2 pillars, log off and go to sleep, wake up and boots up Terraria, the remaining pillars will still be there, and you can continue the event.

I think I heard that the pillars regain life if you log out of the world. So don't half beat a pillar and exit, or you'll be wasting your time.

Leaving one or more pillars intact has very little effect on the rest of the world. Outside of their range you can still farm for items if you need to. One thing it does stop is Martian Prodes from appearing. This can be an issue if you feel you need some of the loot from that event (mainly UFO mount).

If you lose the Moon Lord Batlle, the Cultist will spawn again, and you must beat again the Four Celestial Towers, the important thing is you defeat the 4 towers, defeating three towers, you can do what you want, Moon Lord will not appear.

Solar pillar: Crawltipede will not attack if you don't go in the air. This is a big thing.

Moonlord will attack once you destroy the pillars, and there ain't a thing you can do to stop him. Teleporting home will not de-spawn him. Let him kill you if you can't beat him, and it'll be back to the last save crystal before the boss.

Cultist will respawn eventually on its own after the pillars have been destroyed.

I don't think pillars stop anything, such as blood moon, martians, etc.

Um..I'm just wondering if I died in the four celestial towers, do I need to fight the lunatic cultist again?

[yungbingis]

nope
