crush

[鬼]

so how am i supposed to trigger it? i used stalagmite to kill several units but crush is not triggering

The mob has to be unable to be displaced to trigger crush. If you're doing the warden quest would just go to the starter area and look for a room with 1-2 plants or 1 big slime to make it easy. Build junk around them and then drop something that crushes. You must crush every enemy in a given room, so it's very hard for any room that has somebody that summons adds.

So, in addition to this, can you do ANY other effects on enemies? You can trigger Crush through rooting them as well (which the Warden even suggests!) but despite doing that, I keep not getting completion for this. The only thing I can think of is that, through using, say, Frozen Meteor to apply Root first, I'm somehow invalidating the quest.

I wonder then if it's not respecting the root debuff. Because the plants if you hover over them have permanent root on themselves, yet can be displaced (at least based on my first try).

Hey! Fressato here.

I'm sorry if you had any issues with the quest, we will be testing it ourselves and if any issues related are found they will be fixed asap!

If anyone is still struggling with the quest here’s what worked for me: I used stalagmite to kill the sand worm thingy that jumps in the dune area and then on my next turn I melee’d a chakram hurler to death and that did it for some reason

I found them unable to be displaced, thus Crush kills them instantly. Which is a nice benefit to Crush. Though, I figured they'd be the easiest ones to complete the quest on, and still haven't been able to.

EDIT: Yeah, no, I was wrong. I was using Stalactite on them, which was dealing enough damage to kill them and not giving the displacement animation. I just tried it with Stalagmite and displaced them as normal.

I wonder if part of the issue (and this is so obvious, I'm surprised I didn't think of it sooner) might not just be that the enemies I'm trying to inflict Crush on have too little HP to survive the normal hit and be thrown?

Though I did just cast Stalagmite on a Bomb Beetle and it threw it back a space before it died (and exploded), so.. uncertain?
