I LOVE INMICAL GESTALT

[Edible Coal]

wow such a great mob!  165 + 15  (planar) because u forget to wear the 3 gear in game !

never would i realize having a ticking time bomb always near me is such a fantastic idea !

i hope whoever design this awesome creature when they are waking up in the morning and instead of shutting of the alarm they get to click on the inimical gestalt because they arn't wearing the 3 gear in game and get hug by 165 + 15  (planar) !

say goodbye to AOE dmg because they sometime hits them !

(insert catapults getting destory)

infact, i hope the next update they add a shadow variant of these awesome things to encourage people two wear two type of rift gear to not die !

 

seriously tho, can they just tone down this thing, i dont want to die because im wearing a eyebrella

@V2C, One really negative point I found is being forced to use Brightshade Helm or Enlightened Crown to access the lunar island after defeating the Scion.

Before, I could go there and leave my sanity low (bone helm / The Lazy Deserter / Glommer's Goop), but now it's no longer possible, because the inimical gestalts will appear regardless of using the crown with the 5 jewels.

Another difficulty is being forced to use Brightshade Helm or Enlightened Crown to fight the celestial champion.

Leaving the world with infinite full moons (activating Mysterious Energy) also got pretty bad because of the annoyance of these mobs.

In a way, there was a worsening of the quality of life in a late game mindset.

Oh I didn't know this - Welp, there goes my island base  I kinda like world progression forcing me out though, however I would really like to change how inimical's work. 

I think them spawning on Lunar makes sense at high enlightenment, but yeah I don't think they should spawn when it's low. I also think they should despawn immediately if enlightenment isn't present (so taking off the crown when on the mainland or low enlightenment). I think the reasoning for it currently is that Shadow creatures can still walk around, but I don't think's a balanced view - On the mainland sanity is used, that's why, they shouldn't be able to exist there without a source of enlightenment.

TL;DR - I'm agreeing with you

thats just sad.

my guess is that they will introduce a way to deal w them in the next shadow final update

If the proposal was only to bring a downside to using the 5 jewels, it seems that it went beyond what was planned.

i hate it when i want to click my alarm but instead i touch the inimical gestal in my room

Honestly I feel like inmical gestalts should have been added to the host of existing post-rift content, with the post-endgame content instead providing a solution to them. There needs to be more rift content and inmical gestalts can be part of it

Edit: I have not played with these gestalts so I might be misunderstanding how they work

Klei managing to ruin the 2 type of bases that dare engaged with the ocean in one update is genuinely astounding to me. God forbid someone live anywhere other than oasis or pk.
