Matosade

From Noita Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Matosade (listen Audio.svg) is a Static Projectile type spell that designates a point in space (melee range, if unmodified) to be the target of a rain of 9 Jättimato (giant worms). Upon casting a circle with a diameter of 512 pixels is cleared of all solids, and worms will begin appearing in the upper third of the circle.

Unlike normal Jättimato, the worms created from casting this spell in the usual way cannot drop extra max health upgrades when killed.

Tips

  • Unless you are immune to Damage Melee dmg-large.png Melee attacks, you should cast this spell at range with a trigger, or be ready to run away.
  • Be aware of nearby dangers as the circle will explode any solid-based explosives.
  • You can cast this spell then spray something with Worm Pheromone to have the worms swarm and attack whatever is stained with the Worm Food Worm Food effect. However it should be noted that most late game enemies are immune to the effect and cannot be stained with Worm Pheromone.
  • Without the Worm Attractor perk or Worm Pheromone it's quite easy to miss a few of the worms that fall.
  • This is a very good source of Worm Blood.
  • As the spell clears a lot of terrain it is essential you pick a good place to cast the spell.
    • Be aware of nearby dangers as the circle will explode any solid-based explosive.
    • The large circle cleared by this is capable of destroying any terrain. 10 casts of the spell is enough to get you from outside of the wall separating Parallel Worlds to past the Cursed Rock; acting as a budget Black Hole, as Black Hole does not become unlimited with the Unlimited Spells perk. The 90 worms this creates is a new problem, however. And you'll need lots of Reduce Recharge Time modifiers in order to make this viable.

Summoning Real Worms

Usually Jättimato have a 50% chance to drop an Extra Max Health upgrade when killed, but the worms summoned by Matosade do not drop them, at least, not if you simply cast the spell. Spells that create projectiles usually have a 'related projectile' as part of their definition, and this is usually the same projectile that the spell creates by default when cast. Matosade is an exception to this - the related projectile is instead the actual worm animal.

The related projectile is used by the Add Trigger spells to create a 'with trigger' spell variant. By using Add Trigger on Matosade, you can spawn actual Jättimato, with the usual 50% chance to drop a max health upgrade. The Plicate Spells also use the related projectile to create their copies, and can be used to create real worms too. This also allows you to bypass the usage limit on Matosade, by careful manipulation of the mana available on the wand such that after the Plicated copies have been made there is insufficient mana left to really cast Matosade, and so no charge is deducted.

Trivia

  • Matosade is Finnish for "Worm Rain".
  • "Ālea iacta est" is Latin for "the die is cast" most famously said by Julius Caesar as he and his army crossed the Rubicon river in 49 BCE.[1]
  • The spell's icon shows small worms (Pikkumato) but the spell actually only creates Jättimato.
  • Prior to the Sauna update this spell was capable of giving you endless max health upgrades.
