Perk to resist poly would be nice

[dachte]

I get that there may be difficulties to get this exactly right (should cessation still work? drinking poly potions?) but I think it'd be nice if there were a perk to make one immune to poly; some of the last few times I quit Noita were due to a rapid poly'd-and-killed and it'd be nice to give us some ways to avoid what's too often almost an instakill.

There's a mod for that here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2847438550
Among other things, it adds polymorph immunity to the pool of perks that can show up. You can configure it so that only polymorph immunity is added.

I think it would be a good idea if devs added some sort of difficult quest to obtain some form of poly immunity. Something like: If you get hit with any poly (projectile or liquid) stay immune to any poly for 3 seconds, then go on a 3 minute cooldown. I think something like that could keep it ballanced. Not 100% immunity (but occasional) and not easy to obtain.

Real immunity would be in keeping with the other immunities.

How 'bout eating the flesh of certain enemies and gaining roughly 3 mins worth of immunity per corpse?

But to be more serious. Polymorpine is only thing you'll be vulnerable during (most) god runs. Without the immunity you need to pay at least some attention to game after you have visited few PW.

There's really two ways of getting poly immunity.

First is to get the iron stomach perk and drink a bunch of poly/unstable poly/ chaotic poly, which will give you temporary immunity to whichever liquid you drink, but you may already know about this one.

Second, and less known about, is to trap a poly mage close to a necrobot and repeatedly kill the poly mage, eating the corpse with iron stomach between respawns. With this you can give yourself as many seconds of poly immunity buff as long as you could ever need.

But it's pretty difficult to do that, and I'd only ever bother with it if I was doing an extremely long run, like doing the sun quest. My mod is balanced around a normal run where the goal is to kill the main boss and end the game, not so much the side content. You do you though.

I forget the amount but when you eat enough poly flesh eventually the number rolls over and you have infinite poly immunity. This is the best way to do it, not that hard.

524,288 seconds. Not 2.1 million, which is listed in various places incorrectly.

No need for devs, mod the game, done.
People gatekeeping fun in a single player game are cringe af.
Poly is a dumb mechanic, and let's not pretend this game has any real balance, because it doesn't.
Game is go as slowly as possible until you find a lumi drill > mow down everything

There are plenty of counters to being polymorphed. Anti projectile fields/sectors, shields, for the poly shots, and fungal shifts for the liquid forms. Or look up how to make safety eggs that pop when you get transformed and protect you until you transform back.

Just be glad there isn't a farmer standing behind you with wool in his zip when you transform
