On Winning
The following message is displayed when you defeat a hound:
The hound collapses into a pile of dust in moments.
If you defeat one (or more) hound(s) with a Myers sampling kit equipped you will collect samples with the following message:
The hound(s) collapse(s) into (a) pile(s) of dust in moments. You're only able to save one large chunk with the sampler.
You've found: crystal slab fragment or crystal spike
Defeating a a hound with a binding tome equipped this message:
The hound collapses into a pile of dust in moments. You call out with ancient words from the tome you carry and gather <the/one> hound's energies.
You trap a spectral echo of the hound within the pages of the tome, feeling exhausted afterward.
You've learned a new technique: Release the Hounds
If you have both Myers sampling kit and a binding tome equipped, the sampling kit takes priority.
If you fight several hounds at once in the same combat, you can only gain one large chunk total.
Notes
 |
You try to eat the hound, but just get a mouthful of crystalline dust. It absorbs before you can cough it out, causing a strange prickling all over your skin. You've gained 5 duration of Bone Spikes. |
