Is it possible to kill a Madokajack and collect rewards from its body?

[Mr.I]

So, I've been killing Madokajacks for a few minutes at the great fault. My best bet is having its body landing on a fairly large platform. So I use myself as a bait and fire the last shot when its right above the platform so it can fall down and land on where I am.

But that never happened. It looks like that Madokajack is close enough but it always falls down.

Any special techniques?

From what I could see there's no way. I'm not even sure you're supposed to attack them. I was going to try throwing meat out and see if it might just dive down and despawn.

I'm pretty sure meat has no effect. I even managed to hit a Madokajack with my meat.

Welcome to my thread, Mr/Ms savior.
Your mod works fine with Proton/SteamDeck as well.

It should work on Switch too, UE4 is very standardized in how it loads its contents and I don't believe any of what I posted is PC exclusive code.

There are quests to kill them, so you're definitely supposed to attack them, but I don't think there's any way to kill one such that it lands on the ground. I'm curious if they have a loot table at all.

I do believe that they have a proper collision detection. Because I managed to hit a Madokajack with a piece of meat while it's flying, and the meat bounced off. So it should be able to land on a platform in theory.

And this game's body collision is as simply as you can imagine. Literally everything is a big cube, zero ragdoll physics. A few pixels of the edge of 2 cubes make contact with each other and you get a collision.

The entrance of The Great Fault, there are two variants of Madokajack spawn area location (you can keep going back to Orth and back to refresh the location since it's not a normal enemy type), one of the Madokajack's spawn location is near enough to be aggroed by you going near the first platform. It's also possible to loot at that spot if you go down fast enough.

That's a lot of work for hard meat and a bone but I'm impressed you found a way to do it. No point, but it's cool.

WOW, this is exactly what I tried to do and failed. Thank you!

BTW, Madokajack is really something special, I've never seen (maybe never noticed) any other creatures drop 2 items in a time.

That's a skill that doubles drops from dismantling (there is also a skill for gathering and mining: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1324340/discussions/0/3421068861169932005/). I think some enemies like Splitjaw can actually drop a relic in addition to their normal drops, but I only had that happen once, so I'm not totally sure.

Oh, that's right, the incorrectly described skill. I only picked the herb gathering one.

I've got relics from big creatures too, that's very very rare.

Splitmouth will drop relics. That's where I got my liquid whatever for an item early. But yeah it does kind of stink that combat is mostly worthless outside of cull quests.

Speaking of early items, you can actually delve into the 3rd layer's Hexagon Pillars region as a red whistle, there you can find grade 2 relics including that liquid stuff.

All you need is that mod of salvation to disable the infinite spawning, and some ropes of course.

Madokajacks are definitely killable, but hitting them is incredibly inconsistent due to how guns work in this game. I killed one at the Pirate Ship location, and had its corpse fall on deck... Too bad I don't even remember what I got from it, but pretty sure it was nothing special.
