Ethereals getting restored from being a heretic husk by activating their crystal is the kind of tech I never thought possible, goddamn. Great vid as always!
I knew mansus grasp was robust but I didn't know it was "solo a nukie" robust although thats probably because I've never played heretic and managed to actually sacrifice anybody
@@Sanek-gw4cv because the points and time you spend on it are better spent rushing to ascend, and once you ascend you're too busy killing people to bother making traps or potions If you decide to spend time making potions its only a matter of time till an a greyshirt stunbatons you, you shatter a dagger to tele, you end up in security infront of the warden and 2 seccies, shatter another blade, and end up stuck in some random place like emitter room in engi where ai will track you and its GG
when they die they can self res once, its a crystal that forms and revives them after a minute, if the crystal is destroyed before they res, they become perma dead and dnr. if the res completes, they are alive, but have brain damage in return
@@XiaoYueMao Actually it's a bit worse. Brain damage you can bounce back from, but crystal revived ethereals are given a permanent brain trauma. Also, if the crystal they're in is broken, they can still be revived as normal. It's ideal to break the crystal if you're able to get to them since it means they won't end up with a brain trauma.
@@XiaoYueMao aw, did they change it? i used to roll ethereal with a brain tumor so i could die and res over and over just to see how fucked with traumas i could get
@@private-local-enemy im pretty sure the etherals can only crystal revive once, either that or breaking the crystal prevents them using it again, im unsure
