The Mechanical Eye needs three items to be crafted – lens, the soul of light, and any kind of iron bar. To be precise, you need 3 lenses, 6 souls of lights, and 5 iron bars of any kind.

When you have all the needed items, head over to a Mythril Anvil or Orichalcum Anvil to the eye.

When you have the eye in your inventory, wait for nightfall. This is because the Mechanical Eye can summon the boss only at night between 7:30 pm to 4:30 pm. Trying to summon the Twins during the day is impossible.

Looking at the Twins, the Eye of Cthulhu feels like a telephone staring at the latest smartphone. The Twins are basically a more lethal version of the Eye of Cthulhu found in the hardmode.

You will have to destroy the Twins before the daybreak. If left alive, the boss flees and respawns later.
