Notes

• The amount of contact damage increase or decrease will scale with difficulty.
  • For example, Great Sand Shark has a 60% scaling factor in Expert Mode and 15% scaling factor in Revengeance Mode. Therefore, the amount of damage increase will equal to 10 / 16 / 18 / 19 / 24 / 27 / 29 .

Trivia

• The Nullification Pistol will work on the Guide and the Clothier with their respective voodoo dolls equipped.
• The Nullification Pistol used to use the player's health as ammo.
  • If the player was killed by the damage inflicted upon using the weapon, the death message "<PlayerName> was vaporized by the imbuement of his/her life." would display.
