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 26-sided die, with 1 side resulting in an explosion, 1 side yielding 200 
, 1 side yielding 100 , 8 sides yielding 10 , and 15 sides yielding 20 . The first kick is rigged to always give 20 , and subsequent kicks have odds as described in the graph below. Starting on the third kick[1], each time the orb is kicked, the result of the highest number that doesn't result in explosion is changed to an explosion (so rolling a 24, 25 or 26 on the 4th kick will yield an explosion).
| Number Rolled | Effect |
|---|---|
| 1 | Small explosion that destroys the Orb and deals 24.5 damage.
|
| 2-9 | 10 in one small nugget
|
| 10-14, 16-19, 21-26 | 20 gold in two 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 after 7 kicks, after the 200 option is removed. If HP is scarce, it's recommended to not exceed this number. The cumulative probability of an explosion after 7 kicks is 57%.
- 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.

Notes
- ↑ Technically, the third kick has the same odds as the second kick (kick 3 replaces 0 numbers, and kick 4 replaces 2 numbers, so the effect for kicks 4 and above is as described), but this behavior was omitted for brevity.
