Cruel Orb

From Noita Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

The Cruel Orb is a variant of the Shiny Orb item. Instead of regular gold, it drops blood money when kicked, or creates a very large explosion.

It can only be found when you have the Curse of Greed active, in which case it takes the place of any shiny orbs that would otherwise generate in chunks which have not previously been generated.

Behavior

The orb outcome is like casting a 21-sided die, with 1 side yielding an explosion, 1 side yielding 1,000 gold (bloody), 1 side yielding 400 gold, 8 sides yielding 50 gold, and 10 sides yielding 40 gold. The first kick is fixed, and will always yield 40 gold. The second kick has odds as described in the table below. Starting on the third kick[1], each time the orb is kicked, the outcome of the highest number is changed to an explosion (so rolling a 21, 20 or 19 on the 4th kick will yield an explosion).

Number Rolled Effect
1 Large explosion that destroys the Orb and deals nuke damage.
2-9 50 gold gold in a medium bloody nugget
10-14, 16-19, 21 40 gold in four small bloody nuggets
15 400 gold gold in two large bloody nuggets
20 1,000 gold gold in one huge bloody nugget

History

Notes

  1. As with Shiny Orb, this is a slight simplification - the 3rd kick replaces 0 sides and the 4th kick replaces 2 sides.
