Nightmare Werepig Respawn?

[keats95]

So I killed the Nightmare Werepig for the first time last night, and then came upstairs and killed the Scrappy Werepig. I was expecting him to respawn as the Nightmare version down in the caves as the Wiki states they each spawn 10 days after the other version is killed, but after spending a few days scouring the mud biome and failing to find him I came back upstairs and found his Scrappy version in the Junk Pile.

So is this a glitch? Or is it working as intended and the wiki has incorrect information? Do I have to kill the Fuelweaver to reset the ruins in order for him to respawn? Playing on PS5 by the way.

wiki has correct info, that's a bug, killing fuelweaver most likely won't help because ruins regen's entirely unrelated to werepig and doesn't affect it normally

Ah that's a bummer, I used some of my dreadstone and now have less than 5, so I can't start the shadow rifts until this is patched now correct?

you still can dupe dreadstone by making a dreadstone armor or helm (more profit from armor iirc) with construction amulet and then deconstructing it with a deconstruction staff

Technically the best approach would be walls, as you only need 2 and just a construction amulet to start the dupe and then hammer/smash the walls using any method, which you’ll profit a flat 10 per green gem.

Is it to do with the seperate server shards of the caves/overworld? I didn't venture down in to the caves at all after killing the Scrappy Werepig, does it maybe only spawn the nightmare version if you load the Cave shard?

Possibly, yes.

No

So I killed the Scrappy Werepig again, and then immediately went down into the caves to load the other server shard. I spent most of the next 10 days down in the caves but did pop back out to grab a few things from time to time. But Nightmare Werepig did indeed respawn!
