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 
, 1 side yielding 100 , 8 sides yielding 20 , and 11 sides yielding 30 . The first kick is rigged to always give 30 , 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 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 prize).
| Number Rolled | Effect |
|---|---|
| 1 | Small explosion that destroys the Orb and deals 24.5 damage.
|
| 2-9 | 20 in two small nugget
|
| 10-14, 16-19, 21-22 | 30 gold in three small nuggets
|
| 15 | 100 gold in two medium nuggets
|
| 20 | 200 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 option is removed. If HP is scarce, it's recommended to not exceed this number.
- Explosion Immunity blocks the
Explosion damage when the 1 is rolled, making it safe to kick the Orb until depletion. The explosion can still give 
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)
