The Blood Crystal (in-game name Verikristalli) is an enemy that is normally only encountered in The Work (Hell). It is made of an unique material known as "Purple Crystal", and is able to survive having parts of it destroyed.
Behavior
It hovers passively until it detects the Noita or another enemy nearby. When it does, it will hover near them. If they get too close to the Verikristalli, it will fire eight purple energy spheres that do heavy damage. It should be noted that invisibility does not prevent the Verikristalli from firing if the player draws too close, it only prevents the crystal from detecting the player's presence.
Combat Tips
- Like other rigid body enemies, it will die instantly when its material body is completely destroyed or erased, even if no damage is dealt to it. This means that, in a pinch, a player can one-shot it with the Black Hole spell (best done in close range as to not miss). It does not count as a trick kill but will drop the regular amount of gold, though the gold is often immediately erased by the black hole.
Trivia
- Since its body is made up of rigid body material, the player can actually grab and kick it away with the Telekinetic Kick perk. (Not normally advised since the player will put themselves into its attack range). Kicking it away using the perk will not damage it.
