Blue Reaper in Bone Zone?

[jasonred79]

Didn't happen on Run #1, but on run #2, a blue reaper appeared and started filling the bottom of the stage with water, and bubbles, or something. Couldn't tell for sure, was confused.

i have had the green reaper in there too

Yes, a blue reaper appears and fills the bottom of the screen. Don't know its spawn chance. What was your question?

[HailToTheDuke]

Yes as said there is a blue one and I even ran beneath the line into the blue field underneath him but nothing happened and since he always moved in the direction i was going I do not know what his role is but he is there as well as green one.

Had both reapers in 1 run.

[jasonred79]

the green reaper seems to have 100% chance to spawn around 9:30 or so?

I ran down into the blue field, and after going deeper, lots of bubbles started to form. I might have killed something while I was there, it was a bit hard to tell.

Same. :D

I think you can kill them with Pentagram?

It's supposed to do damage if you enter it. In the tower it prevents you from abusing the crab bosses mechanic by moving downwards constantly, but the mechanic doesn't actually seem to work in the bone zone, and it doesn't seem to have any purpose.

I'd assume it's not actually supposed to spawn there at all.

How is acting strategically and intelligently abusing mechanics? Are we not allowed to use our brains?

Why is running around like a headless chicken considered the only allowable set of actions in most games?

I took damage when i entered the water in bone zone, so assuming its working (maybe intermittently).

The blue reaper only seems to spawn if you head far enough south.

Of course you're allowed to use your brain. There are many ways to use your intelligence to abuse mechanics and kill the crab.

Walking downwards endlessly to completely avoid its mechanic isn't one of the strategies that works, because it seems that the dev has also used their brain, realized that people would do that, and decided to prevent it.

Yeah, I've seen it work in a stream yesterday, not sure why it didn't in my game.

It could also be some sort of fake out hiding an achievement later. Train you to avoid the water in one zone, later on you have to dive to accomplish something.

Or a bug. Who knows.
