Hungry Ghost

From Noita Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Hungry Ghost is a perk that summons a green ghost that follows you around. The ghost will occasionally eat projectiles shot towards it, providing you with a Damage Boost buff. This damage boost is an extra modifier (special type of modifier that gets applied after every Projectile, Static Projectile, or Material type spell) that adds 7.5 projectile damage, then multiplies all added damage by 1.25. This can lead to extremely high damage amounts if you have a large number of spells with valid types or many stacks of the buff, as your damage bonus will end up looking like (((7.5 * 1.25) + 7.5) * 1.25 + 7.5) * 1.25 etc., which is a form of exponential growth. This can be used to obtain infinite damage. Hungry ghost has a delay of 160 frames or 2.67s.

Transformation

Collecting Hungry Ghost, Angry Ghost, and Mournful Spirit will apply the Ghostly Transformation which gives you a ghost companion and increases your levitation time by 15%.

Warning

The Hungry Ghost(s) can be extremely deadly in some circumstances. For example, if you're using a teleport healing wand build, and in the middle of an intense fight the Ghost gets supercharged eating a rich number of projectiles (or if you intentionally use something like the Magic Guard spell to power them up), all the stacked damage boost will be applied to the healing spell as well, which will then instakill you during the next teleport.
