How to Get a Sculk Shrieker
Found in Deep Dark Biomes
Sculk Shriekers can be found naturally generating in Deep Dark Biomes and Ancient Cities. They're often located near large patches of Sculk Sensors and Sculk blocks.
Generates When a Mob Dies Near a Sculk Catalyst
If any Mob that drops XP dies within a 7 block radius of a Sculk Catalyst while on a Sculk block, there is a small chance that a Sculk Shrieker will spawn. This occurs rarely however, so it will take some time before it appears.
Sculk Shriekers generated by Sculk Catalysts cannot summon Wardens.
How to Use a Sculk Shrieker
Activate by Stepping on a Sculk Shrieker or Triggering a Sculk Sensor
You can activate a Sculk Shrieker by stepping on it or by making a vibration near a Sculk Sensor. This creates a terrifying shriek that lasts for a few seconds. Once it ends, players will be affected by Darkness, which repeatedly dims your vision.
Summon Wardens
After activating a Sculk Shrieker three times, it will spawn a Warden from the ground, which will promptly attack you if it detects your presence.
