Spectral Penitentiary Revisions
UGC designer Marshmalla has been reading all the player feedback and has brought another wave of game feel and balance revisions to the Penitentiary.
Item Changes
- Fixed Command Cornea reducing player weapon damage to 0%.
- Reduced MP cost of Overwhelming Axehead from 200 > 150
- Changed Cackling Straitjacket’s Generalized Insanity proc to an On Shoot, proc chance nerfed to 1% (activates much more consistently)
- Sinister Syringes VIT reduction reduced from -100 > -50
- Damnation VIT reduction reduced from -100 > -50
- Ocular Entrapment slow AoE and Eyebawl detection range increased from 1.5 > 3 tiles
- Pandemic Poison MP cost reduced from 100 > 90 to match Plague Poison (this was an oversight, my bad)
- Increased Boundless Vessel’s WIS bonus from 15 > 20
- Completely reworked Jailer’s Scythe, fixed XP bonus, and now counts as a Realm White
Balance Changes
- Changed hardmode HP multiplier from 1.5x > 1.35x
- Slightly increased Administration Branch (North) hardmode timer
- Nerfed some large and medium enemies across all branches to be less mean (Wandering Wailer no longer petrifies, Elite Skeletal Guard is less lethal, etc.)
- Standardized decoy deletion ranges and cooldowns across all bosses and phases to be more reasonable (decoys are easier to use, normal mode only)
- Lobotomik is no longer immune to being slowed
- Reduced sicken duration on Lobotomik’s cauldron phase outer turret projectiles (3s > 1.6s)
- Oculon no longer starts rotating at the same point every time during her clones (red) phase
- Removed unintuitive melee-range sicken AoEs from Oculon’s radar (green) phase
- Oculon can no longer roll into double walls in normal mode during her chomp (brown) phase
- Lowered base HP on Oculon’s green counter eyeball during her absorb (red) phase
- Nerfed damage on Oculon’s green star projectiles (from minions) in her traffic (green) phase
- Doubled lifetime of initial indicator shapes during Oculon’s memory (brown) phase so they are easier to memorize
- Murcian and his keys now move slightly faster depending on their rotation radius
- Murcian now slows down when a player is within 5 tiles of him for more accessible damage uptime (pre-50% only)
- Murcian’s petrify projectiles no longer deal damage
- Murcian’s clones in his Skuld mirror phase are now damageable and explode into their usual AoE when killed
- Murcian no longer shoots during his roulette phase
- Updated Murcian’s movement in some phases where it was difficult to follow him (padlock clock, roulette)
- Murcian now transitions into his final phase immediately upon reaching his 10% threshold
- Murcian no longer forces you to wait another full light cycle after killing all the keys during Afraid of the Dark
- Reduced shot density in HM Afraid of the Dark
- Murcian now has a 50% chance to provide an additional Attack exaltation in hardmode
- Murcian now drops greater potions in both normal and hardmode
- All bosses have received tiered drop rate increases
QoL Fixes
- Spectral Jailer now has a unique minimap icon for easier hunting
- Spectral Penitentiary now drops from Skeletal Centipede (replaces Crawling Depths drop)
- Rations can now be shared and traded between fellow inmates (Spectral Prison Ration is now tradeable)
- Boss teleporters now teleport you 2 tiles below the center of the room to prevent unintended deaths
- Moved cowardice portal a couple tiles north to prevent accidentally entering it when spamming the return teleporter (my bad y’all)
- Torture Branch (West) slimes now have a 5s timer upon leaving their detection radius before disappearing
- Torture Branch (West) slimes now spawn 0.2s faster
- Enemies now enter a new retreat state after entering a switch’s range to prevent enemies from crowding in front of hallways (particularly the first room of a branch)
- Lowered size of Gretch’s shovel phase indicators and increased visibility of AoE
- Lowered opacity of red floor indicators to be easier on the eyes
Bug Fixes
- Added Penitent Frog Pet Skin to Murcian’s drop table (oops, it was on the quest chest at least)
- Fixed an incorrect description on the Vial of Soul Extract
- The Vial of Soul Extract can no longer be stored in pet saddlebags
- Fixed a particular NPC’s room to now be normally accessible
- Hardmode Murcian now grants dust
- Fixed a walkable black tile in a Garden Branch (South) room
- Fixed an Administration Branch (North) room to no longer have chairs spawning on turrets
- Lobotomik and Oculon now properly delete objective minimap icons in their boss room upon activation
- Added a failsafe to Lobotomik to prevent him from dying in the wrong spot in some instances
Known Issues
- Turrets may sometimes not spawn in Administration Branch (North) end rooms. Still investigating this issue.
