How do you genocide merms for their shadow variants?


Recommended Posts

My requirements:

- merms must be dead

- my shadow merms must not die in the process (or be separated)

- it must be cheap

- it must be fast

What methods do people use?

 

What? I am just embracing the dark side alignment. Do not judge what is canonically appropriate.

An oven? You can control when to turn it off and i dont think shadow merms receive damage from fire, atleast they shouldn't 

And the shadow merms...

Yep they don't recieve fire damage so the oven method would definitely be the best way of going about it.

There's not really a "cheap" consistent way to go about this but fire farms would probably be the way to go it's part of the reason I stick with the lunar path.

Yo, I forgot about shadow and fire damage exclusion.

This might be the method.

Anyone know the best setup? Don't the merms run around if set on fire?

Is this pig setup viable for merms too?

Brightshades will mow merms down :)

I don't like activating rifts, they are incomplete content.

Not sure honestly I haven't experimented too much with shadow merms but when I did I just tried getting them killed on tentacles which admittedly is very inconsistent.

I've been running shadow merms in my solo world for the moment.

In early game you can just start a merm war in the swamp. If some shadow merms start dying just run and then start chopping/mining to change their actions. that has lead me to around 4-5 shadow merms. wich arent enough for massive deforestations but decent enough for regular fights and mining. 

(Yeah I know it breaks all the requirements you asked. but I haven't figured out a way to get massive amounts of shadow merms for late game, perhaps try gunpowder?)
