The Despair Stone is a Pre-Hardmode enemy that spawns in the Brimstone Crag. It moves by rolling and bouncing towards the player similarly to an Angry Tumbler, and each bounce causes it to emit red particles and make an impact sound.
Every 8 seconds, the Despair Stone will begin making a sound like a buzz saw, and it will accelerate to a high velocity and roll across the ground instead of bouncing, leaving aesthetic sparks behind as it rolls. In this buzz saw state, it is unable to turn around once it has started moving in a direction, however it gains the ability to climb up the sides of tiles to get to the player, its vertical velocity up walls being just as fast as its horizontal velocity along the ground. The buzz saw state lasts for a few seconds before it returns to its default behavior.
Its stats receive a significant boost and starts dropping Bloodstone after Providence, the Profaned Goddess is defeated.
Notes
- Despair Stones float in lava.
- If a Despair Stone is airborne while in its buzz saw state and the player is above it, it will experience reduced gravity so that it remains in the air for longer.
- In the Get fixed boi seed, Despair Stones will lightly shake the screen every time they land from a jump.
Trivia
- The
Bestiary entry for the Despair Stone: "Constructs created from slabs of Brimstone, given life by warlocks that remain in Azafure. Able to accelerate to blistering speeds thanks to their wheel-like design, their sole purpose is to make sure that none dare trespass on their masters' lands."
