caves Cave concept - Midas' cave!

[marshyds]

=- Midas' cave -=

Rarely, you can find the corpses of failed explorers, who have scraps of parchment near them.

You can assemble a map that leads to midas' cave, or just stumble upon it accidentally like a goober.

[Midas' curse]

Midas' cave has a lot of pools of molten gold, which make the place very hot!

If your temperature gets over 70 degrees your health will start turning into gold at a rate of 2.5/second, taking away max health.

To counter loss of max health you should take some booster shots and healing, to prevent overheating i recommend a chilled amulet.

[Midas' hand]

On a pedestal, you can find the mystical Midas' hand, which you can slot a red or blue gem into. 

Little known secret, overheating and freezing in summer is actually controlled by the molten gold pools in midas' cave, fun!

[Red gem]

The midas' hand will suck up all the energy in the gem, firing up the golden pools, causing the global temperature to rise for a while. Can be used to neutralize winter temperatures or make summer and autumn worse.

The gem will slowly turn into a golden gem, but during the process it cannot be removed, so you must be careful with your timing.

The gem lasts for 1 season before converting into Midas' gem (the golden gem).

[Blue gem]

Opposite effect, still gives a golden gem.

[KING MIDAS]

Upon attempting to remove the gem, the hand won't allow it, so you must mine the pillar it is located on and fight king midas!

Upon defeat King Midas drops a golden gem and a hand, which you can put back on the pedestal.

King midas will eventually regrow from the hand like a lizard,

Hear me out.. Marigold - another new plant that acts like a flower but drops a gold when picked.

Sure, but pig king already produces an abundance of gold...

Maybe the hand could trade you a marigold starter, which grows on grapple vines and turns them into literal golden apples?

ATK: Instant death

I got a better idea cause instant death is really tough.

He turns you into a minable golden statue. Either your friends break you out or Midas smashes you out on his next attack like deerclops and being frozen.

I think to make the effect more unique, it would operate on a timer instead of having you burst out of it upon being damaged, making allies mine you out a priority.
