✨ Adds a new obelisk building, purchasable in the Wizard's house. ✨
✨ Use it to warp into mortal peril! ✨
The Chaos Obelisk will warp you deep into the Skull Cavern where the best loot is ripe for the picking. But the most dangerous monsters lurk there too.
It will warp to the same level for the duration of a day, and the next day the level will shuffle. So if you are knocked out, heal yourself and recklessly throw yourself back into the fray, you will start at the same level.
The range of levels that can be warped to is between 180 - 74,880. And there is a higher probability that you will warp to a shallower level in the range. So you are more likely to warp to level 500 than level 70,000, both because I think that makes it more interesting and the highest levels are almost entirely iridium, which if you build the obelisk somewhat early in the game, that could be a huge advantage. But don't worry. it is not extremely weighted.
At this time, the upper limit of 74,880 is protective, because a certain index is reserved for the Quarry Mine, and it can cause some bugs if you enter it by using a staircase from the level before it in the Skull Cavern. I also ran into some bugs going to levels higher than the index reserved for the Quarry Mine. If I ever figure out why or if it is avoidable, I'll extend the range.
In game use:
You can purchase the obelisks from the Wizard.
Note, It is cheaper (by quite a bit) than the Desert Obelisk. By default there are some hurdles to unlocking it. It is not available until you have
However, some of those are configurable. You can remove the requirements to complete Qi's Challenge, complete the Cryptic Note Quest and build the Desert Obelisk. You cannot turn off the first two restrictions, because I think it may mess up other quests and progress markers. If I can ever concretely determine that it doesn't I might make them configurable, but probably not. But the two required ones are pretty low bars in terms of the natural flow of the game. And if you don't have a high enough Combat level, high quality boots, rings and a good weapon, you'll probably get demolished by red Iridium Bats before you can even mine anything. 😈
TO RECONFIGURE, you can either:
It has magical construction, so they are built immediately, and work just the same as ordinary obelisks.
Watch out for the bats! 🦇
