Petrify

From Noita Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Petrify is a projectile modifier spell that causes any creature below 40% health to die instantly when hit. Enemies killed in this manner will not bleed or drop gold nuggets, and their corpses convert to gray sand. A stone is also spawned on every hit that meets this condition.

The spell also affects you in the same way as creatures, unless you have the Saving Grace or Extra Life perk. With both perks you take damage normally, Saving Grace does not set the health to 1Icon hp template heart.png, and Extra Life does not restore the health to 100Icon hp template heart.png.

Polymorph-immune enemies are unaffected by the spell.

Tips

  • When you are lacking other methods of damage this spell is useful because it can instantly kill an enemy that is lower than 40% health, at a low mana cost.
  • Due to Saving Grace and Extra Life not setting the health properly, it is possible to keep repeatedly triggering them.
    • Combined with a Piercing Shot modifier it can instantly use up all Extra Life perks.
    • By hitting oneself with a projectile that deals 0 damage, it is possible to trigger Saving Grace's invulnerability on demand without losing any health.
      • Since every hit will spawn a stone it is possible to end up getting stuck or drowning in them.
