dexobj Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 (edited) Ewecus still spawn. I've just confirmed it. It just takes a lot of tries now. The way they appear now changed too. Spoiler You will first find a dead Koalefant. Once you get close and examine it will change into an Ewecus. Quite funny and maybe a little dangerous lol. Edit: Now I'm finding Vargs this way too,, Edited September 30, 2023 by dexobj 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: Now I'm finding Vargs this way too,, This seems very weird... Ewecus doesn't look or seem like a predator/carnivore... I think only the Varg should pop out from behind a dead Koalafant and Ewecus could maybe have its own little unique appearance. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meomoicecr Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 Love the idea of phonograph. I'd like to see Maxwell's sanity decrease when ragtime is played on the gramophone around him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It takes about a year to get the new dart too. 80 days of gameplay to get this "meta weapon"... Do pvp servers last that long? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovens Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 Is it intended that hail is damaging friendly/neutral mobs such as grass geckos and Glommer? Or is it an oversight that needs to be fixed? If it's intended, it feels like a very disappointing and unfair mechanic. I know umbrallas can be deployed near them but they would lose durability and in deployed state they have no visual indicator of durability left (unlike ice flingomatic). Not to mention that they look out of place for most builds, have small range and creatures can easily move out of their protection. These creatures also have small health pool so if you caught off-guard by the hail, you will need to rush and activate umbrallas asap and you might not make it in time to protect creatures in different part of your base. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I consider it far less cheesy as you still have to actually perform the fight its just a lot easier but I am a huge advocate for the triple Flingomatic, Ring of Feathers and Dwarf Star approach to Toadstool. You don't burn through anywhere near as many resources (as the normal fight with no cheese that is) and it is far more bearable but still a little challenging and still a fight. The Lureplant cheese just completely incapacitates him and removes the fight altogether. Edited October 3, 2023 by GelatinousCube 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just common sense Imho, it really isn't all that intuitive, unless you already know that planar bosses all seem to have a certain weakness. Even then, you need to attack it with fire during a rather specific time window, after the boss attacked with ice spike twice, but before they grew back in(which happens pretty fast). Couple that with fire being notoriously bad in most situations that involve fighting something, and you have a solid list of reasons of why it wouldn't be so obvious what to do in this fight. So, while it does indeed make sense for fire to be the weakness of the ice boss's, it doesn't immediately make the mechanic intuitive. Then again, guess it is still significantly more intuitive than FW questline, so that's something. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, on the other hand, if you knew freezing and found out that the Crystal Deerclops would freeze you faster, you would think of using a fire to help yourself thaw (just like how people fight normal deerclops), then trying to ignite the Crystal Deerclops, discovering its special burning animation and find its weakness. That's how I found it, no data mining, no wiki, I hadn't even met bearger and varg at the time - didn,t knowing that it might have a weakness.

maxwell_winters Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 2 hours ago, Mysterious box said: there's no indication that these powered up forms gain a new weakness It's very counterintuitive for all new bosses, considering when they show up. It's post-CC content, so you killed Crab King, CC, Bee Queen and/or Klaus for bundling wrap and probably Deerclops and Moose/Goose but then there is suddenly this new boss weakness mechanic after ~12 hours of gameplay.

I tried to set him on fire to remove that ice circle fom his foot, and eventually it fell to his stunned form. The only thing that I learnt later(in the forums), was that I needed to wait for it to throw its ice spikes first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
