The Astral Beacon is a Hardmode furniture item that can be crafted or found naturally on a pillar of Astral Monolith after the Astral Infection has generated. When right-clicked during the night, it is used to summon Astrum Deus while a Titan Heart or Starcore is in the player's inventory. Upon successfully summoning the boss, one Titan Heart is removed from the player's inventory if the player does not have a Starcore, and two stars rise up from the beacon, summoning Astrum Deus shortly after. If used during the day, the player is given a status message "The god of the stars rejects your offering. The ritual can only be performed at night." The beacon can also be right clicked with the Bloody Vein, which will cause the usual spawn animation to play, but with the last collision spawning an Ethereal Core.
