Calamari's Lament being used on a Super Dummy. Notice how the baby squid changes behavior based on the player's distance to the Super Dummy.

Calamari's Lament is a post-Moon Lord summon weapon that is dropped by Colossal Squids after Polterghast has been defeated. It summons a baby squid that hovers near the player and fires homing ink projectiles from a large distance at enemies. The ink projectiles do not pierce, but instead will only damage the enemy that is being targeted. If the player gets close to enemies, the baby squid will latch onto them, dealing 150% damage and granting 30 local immunity frames.

Its best modifier is Ruthless. The Mythical modifier provides the widest array of stat bonuses, but these primarily affect the initial summon rather than the resulting minion. Additionally, minions cannot deal critical hits. The only lasting advantage a Mythical Calamari's Lament has over a Ruthless one is knockback.

Trivia

  • The squid's idle noise has a 1/200 chance to be replaced with a bird chirp instead.
  • The weapon's buff tooltip is a reference to a teaser of the weapon's rework in version 2.0.3.005 in the Calamity Patreon server.
  • The weapon's tooltip and idle noises in Get fixed boi are a reference to the Splatoon series of video games.
