The Exo Mechs are a group of post-Moon Lord bosses that can be fought simultaneously after defeating Yharon, Dragon of Rebirth, and intended to be fought around the same time as Supreme Witch, Calamitas. The battle consists of a passive Draedon along with the four Exo Mechs: XS-01 Artemis, XS-03 Apollo, XM-05 Thanatos, and XF-09 Ares.
Defeating them will provide the player with Exo Prisms, a crafting material for various endgame equipment. Defeating all three possible mech combinations after defeating every other Infernum boss rewards the player with the Hyperplane Matrix.
Spawn
The Exo Mechs do not spawn on their own, and require the player to construct The Codebreaker with a Decryption Computer and an Auric Quantum Cooling Cell. Once constructed, the player can interact (right-click) and press the Contact button. The Exo Mechs can be fought in any biome at any time.
Once summoned, Draedon will allow the player to choose two Exo Mechs that will work together through the fight.
• 
Thanatos, a serpentine terror with impervious armor and innumerable laser turrets.
• 
Ares, a heavyweight, diabolical monstrosity with six Exo superweapons.
• 
Artemis and Apollo, a pair of extremely agile destroyers with unstable energy reserves.
Bosses
Behavior
The Exo Mechs fight consists of 5 phases total. Each mechs have their own respective attacks when fighting alone but also have unique "Combo Attacks" when fighting alongside other mechs.
- Phase 1: The first mech chosen is fought until it reaches 50% health.
- Phase 2: The first mech becomes invincible, and the second mech chosen appears as they fight the player together. This phase continues until the second mech also reaches 50% health.
- Phase 3: The first and second mech disappear, and the third mech enters the battle to fight the player on its own. This phase continues until the third mech is completely defeated.
- Phase 4: The first and second mech return to the battle and fight the player together. This phase continues until one of the mechs is defeated.
- Phase 5: The remaining mech restores its health back to 50% and begins emitting a rainbow glow, entering an "Overdrive" state, becoming invincible and performing its unique final "Overdrive Attack". After a set amount of time, it will self-destruct and end the fight.
- This is not the case with Thanatos's overdrive phase, throughout which it can be damaged and destroyed by the player.
Artemis and Apollo initially spawn above the player and attack by alternating between Basic Attack and Special Attacks. They will not perform the same Special Attacks twice in a row. The two bosses share a health pool, thus damaging Apollo will also damage Artemis and vice versa. Upon reaching 62.5% health, both bosses transition into the second form, ejecting their lenses, revealing their pulse cannons and gaining new Special Attacks.
- When alternating between attacks, all harmful projectiles will be destroyed.
Basic Attack

- Apollo fires 22 consecutive Exo Plasma Bombs instead of 11 in its second form.
- The Exo Plasma Bomb initially does not deal damage, it instead explodes a few seconds after being fired and deals damage within a green telegraph radius.
- Both bosses perform 3 sets of the Basic Attack before alternating to their Special Attacks.
Gatling Plasma Flames

Ares initially spawns with six limbs: the Laser Cannon to the upper far left, Tesla Cannon to lower left, Plasma Cannon to the lower right, Pulse Cannon to the upper far right, and Energy Katana arms between the upper and lower arms on each side. These share the same health pool with Ares, thus damaging any of the weapons will also damage the main mech itself. For most of the battle, Ares and its arms will hover above the player and not deal contact damage.

Aftermath
“But now, I must return to my machinery. You may use the Codebreaker if you wish to face my creations once again. In the meantime, I bid you farewell, and good luck in your future endeavors.
— Draedon
If Supreme Witch, Calamitas has been defeated beforehand, the credits will appear while the soundtrack ฟ้าหลังฝน (Sky After Rain) plays.
Additionally:
- If the Supreme Witch, Calamitas has been defeated prior, the Storm Maiden's Retribution can now be obtained at the player's spawn point while raining.
Notes
- If the Exo Mechs are instantly killed by a butcher function or an incredibly powerful weapon or using the "Atomize" function of the Hyperplane Matrix, the battle instantly ends regardless of the current phase, skipping to the post-battle dialogue.
Tips
- The Purity accessory, obtained from an item from The Tanning Starseed Dev Wish, may help immensely during the fight. However, it may be challenging to get, even with post-Yharon gear.
- The Dragon Rage will deal massive amounts of damage to Thanatos, though you will have to be extremely close to the boss. An accessory with a ram dash is highly recommended.
