According to Spiral Knights' head developer Nick Popovich, Spiral Knights was once intended to have food items that would lure enemies. Located in rsrc/item/consumable is an almost empty folder named food. Both weapons can function as player weapons with a bit of file replacement. ![]() The only unique boss weapon to share these circumstances since Maulos is Groat's frying pan, in rsrc/item/weapon/sword/saucepan. Interestingly however, this club is stored in rsrc/item/weapon/sword/heartofice, with the Knights' weapons, normally enemy and monster weapons are stored in rsrc/item/weapon/npc. For example, a fortress of keys.Maulos, the boss of the danger mission Heart of Ice, is a slightly modified Trojan boss who carries a large glacial club. Rocket puppies can damage other monsters if the rocket explodes against your shield or a piece of scenery. Use this fact to taunt gun puppies from behind a fortress of shiny keys. ![]() Gun puppy bullets can be blocked by statues or keys. The Polyp fires all at once.įor god’s sake stop killing the pink gun puppies until all other mobs are dead T3 gun puppies and howlitzers fire their shots in a ripple pattern. This is a 3 star piece of gear performing as well as a 5 star UV shield. This is true for all status enemies, which is why a Brute Jelly shield (Normal, piercing, stun) can take a lumber hit (Elemental, Normal, Stun) just as well as a grey owlite with extra Elemental defence. Status turrets do extra damage according to their status: A freezing status gun puppy will do more damage of a gun puppy of no status, but having protection against freeze on your armour or shield will migitate this. Turrets are treasure boxes unless activated. Turrets don’t activate until you walk in front of them, or hit them They can, however, still shoot you if you stand directly in front of them. Even in a party of four, a charge attack and another attack combo will kill a turret.Īside from Polyp turrets, turrets can’t turn when frozen, and so they essentially become treasure boxes full of delicious loot when frozen. Solo, you are always able to one-shot a turret with a charge attack if you have a leviathan. However, as piercing damage is pretty useless against most turrets, this is not recommended.Ĭalibur line swords do three hits on charge attacks against turrets, instantly interrupting them and doing massive damage. As elemental damage is super effective against two turret types and neutral against the third, a pulsar makes a good gun puppy supressing/killing weapon.īombers with good CTR can use the radiant sun shard line of bombs to repeatedly cause turrets to flinch with one of the bullets, even from a surprising distance. Today, the pulsar line of guns is able to interrupt gun puppies on the third, expanded hit. This allows you to get up close to a gun puppy and spam sword attacks without getting hit, or subjecting your shield to the brunt of a close-range blast. This means that the green attack ring will continue warning you of an attack, but the gun puppy will not fire any bullets. This means that the last hit of a sword combo will interrupt an attacking gun puppy. Turrets have the lowest flinch threshold of any enemy Fortunately, these turrets share similar properties, which makes it easier for one to destroy them. Polyps, the slime turrets, and Howlitzers, the undead turrets, are more difficult than Gun Puppy versions. Today, there are Undead, Slime, and Construct versions of turrets, which makes anti-turret measures much more difficult, due to different weaknesses and strengths. Anyway.īeing able to safely kill turret monsters is vital. And back then, elevators were powered by hand, not this namby-pamby energy you have today. ![]() We also had to walk ten miles through snow to get to the elevators after each level, uphill. Turrets are present in almost every single level in the Clockworks, and so this meant that us old-timers usually brought along a weapon for the express purpose of killing Gun puppies. When I first started playing Spiral Knights, the only type of “turret” monsters were the Gun Puppies: mechanical, bullet-spitting enemies similar to Monomi, the stone gun puppy in the Haven garden.
