'Spookit' (Ghost cat) randomly turning invincible

[ahueonao]

I'm loving the game so far, but my mine-dwelling has been interrupted multiple times because the ghost cats keep randomly turning invincible. I'm not talking about its special ability - around 1 in 5 of these monsters that I find will become un-damageable after the first hit, but they'll still be able to hurt me. Since they can phase through walls, it pretty much means I'll be dead shortly if I don't race to the surface to beam to my ship, which becomes pretty frustrating after a couple of times. Anybody else having the same problem, or know a way to fix it other than ensuring I kill all of these cats with the first hit?

That is actually a mechanic.

Wait till they open their eye and you can strike them down.

English, Sir, do you grok it?
This means that they're STAYING invincible after they open their eyes, and that's what is known as a game-breaking bug. The kind of bug a good dev team will pull a triple-shift to squash.


I'd like to claim that this is a mod issue, but I genuinely don't know of any mods that change that little monster's behavior.

Um. These cats are the least of your troubles. Stand still, hit them once. They get pushed away (at least with a 2h weapon they do). They come back, they reappear. You hit them again. Done.

I've seen some invincible monsters be absolute douchebags (The rock ones) turn invincible whenever I go near them...

Either they are douchebags or its broken :P

The tiny ones? Peblits? Yeah, that "feature" is probably broken then.
