Shiny Orb

The Shiny Orb is a rare inventory Item that drops gold nuggets when kicked. It appears as a large, golden orb.

It has a 2.2% chance to appear on Pedestals, and a 0.75% chance to appear in Chests.

Usage

The orb's result when kicked is like a 22-sided die, with 1 side resulting in an explosion, 1 side yielding 200 gold, 1 side yielding 100 gold, 8 sides yielding 20 gold, and 11 sides yielding 30 gold. The first kick is rigged to always give 30 gold, and subsequent kicks have odds as described in the graph below. The second, third, and fourth kicks are guaranteed not to explode, and gives 30 gold instead of an explosion. From the fifth kick onwards, each time the orb is kicked, the chances of rolling an explosion are increased as the highest outcomes decrease. This starts at replacing 3 of the highest rolls with explosions, increasing by 1 every kick (i.e. on the 5th kick, rolls 20, 21, and 22 become explosions and you cannot get the 200 gold prize).

Number Rolled Effect
1 Small explosion that destroys the Orb and deals 24.5HP damage.
2-9 20 gold in two small nugget
10-14, 16-19, 21-22 30 gold gold in three small nuggets
15 100 gold gold in two medium nuggets
20 200 gold gold in one large nugget

Tips

  • As a physics object, the Shiny Orb can be picked up and thrown to deal damage.
  • The expected yield of the next kick drops considerably at 5 kicks, after the 200 gold option is removed. If HP is scarce, it's recommended to not exceed this number.
  • Explosion Immunity blocks the Explosion Damage Explosion damage when the 1 is rolled, making it safe to kick the Orb until depletion. The explosion can still give Effect on fire.png On fire!, however.
  • Kicking the orb under water does NOT reduce damage.
  • Staining yourself with Ambrosia will nullify the damage dealt upon explosion.
  • "Kicking" the orb while using Telekinetic Kick is enough to activate it, while staying safely out of explosion range.
  • It is possible to explode the orb but not take any damage by timing your kick well (this is not recommended as it is inconsistent)

History

  • Apr 8 2024:
    • The two smallest rewards were increased by 10 gold each.
    • Now guaranteed not to explode up to 4 kicks instead of only the first being safe.
    • Reduced the probability of rolling the 30 gold reward (the other outcomes are now more frequent).
