I am not a lot of a magic consumer in survival RPG Enshrouded. I carry a magic wand so I’ve a ranged assault prepared if I run out of arrows, and I’ve an honest workers I can use to fling fireballs, however my construct is extra of a survivalist tank: plenty of factors in HP, stamina, and melee weapon harm, plus copper armor and a nasty sword. Magic and mana are nearly an afterthought for me.
That makes it particularly bizarre {that a} magic spell I collected throughout my adventures let me one-shot a few boss monsters that will have taken ages to struggle with my standard weapons.
I am unsure when or the place I first discovered the spell, however it’s commonplace to open chests in dungeons or towers that include magical ammunition (referred to as workers fees) like fireballs and ice blasts you may equip with varied magic wands and staves. Sooner or later, although, I began discovering a brand new sort of workers cost referred to as “Acid Chunk.”
Be aware: Spoilers for 2 sorts of Enshrouded bosses beneath.
I did not even attempt Acid Chunk for lengthy whereas as a result of, like I stated, I hardly ever use ranged assaults aside from arrows. It additionally did not appear like something particular: the 84 harm it does is nearly the identical because the Fireball 2 spell I crafted, which does 85. They each require almost the identical quantity of mana, however Acid Chunk takes twice as lengthy to forged, so I simply by no means used it.
However whereas making an attempt to take down a boss referred to as a Vukah Brawler, a creature who seems to be half bull, half gorilla, and half Ford F-450 Tremendous Responsibility, I wasn’t having a lot luck. My arrows have been doing squat, my fireplace spells have been doing even much less, and I did not wish to get in melee vary as a result of the Brawler was extraordinarily indignant and huge. So, I switched from fireballs to Acid Chunk, charged up my workers, and whipped a cone of inexperienced goo into the monster’s face.
I rapidly spun round and ran away, and by the point I turned again round to face the boss once more it was already in its demise animation. I missed it fully, however whereas my again was turned the Acid Chunk was chewing via the boss’ HP like a canine snarfing up a breakfast sausage somebody unintentionally dropped on the kitchen ground. I watched the replay (beneath) and it is ridiculous how rapidly the Brawler’s well being bar within the high proper nook of the display goes from full to empty.
Enshrouded Acid Chunk spell”
It felt like a fluke, however later I discovered one other Brawler boss and tried it once more. Similar deal: one good splash of inexperienced and the boss was kaput, folding up and falling on its face much more rapidly than the primary time I attempted it. This spell is sort of a cheat code for wrecking bosses, particularly for a non-mage or wizard construct.
Enshrouded Acid Chunk spell”
I checked round and different gamers have seen simply how OP the Acid Chunk is, too, and so they’ve used it on different boss varieties together with the Fell Wispwyvern—apparently the hardest boss of the early recreation. Positive sufficient, one dose of Acid Chunk was sufficient to kill it simply as rapidly:
Acid Spit is a bit OP from r/Enshrouded
It is a head-scratcher, and I agree with gamers who suppose there’s a bit of one thing flawed with both the quantity of injury the spell is doing or the utter vulnerability of Enshrouded enemies to acid. If I needed to guess, this spell could be nerfed in an upcoming patch, so if you wish to take down a bunch of boss monsters with no fuss and solely a tiny little bit of muss, higher do it rapidly.
I want I might be extra particular about the place to search out the Acid Chunk spell, however it routinely exhibits up in loot within the northern areas of the map I have been exploring close to Revelwood. It may also be crafted on the alchemist, apparently, in case you have poison sacks, ammonia glands, goo, and filth.
Be aware: you want to be fairly darn near the enemy you wish to apply it to. The acid will lay down a large cone however it does not lengthen too far out of your workers, and if it hits the bottom as a substitute of the enemy they will not take harm from strolling via it (sadly). On the plus facet, getting near a boss is not all that scary while you’ve bought a workers stuffed with acid and solely want one shot.
