Talk:Royal Serpent

Stats

There was a trivia bullet on this page that the Royal Serpent has the exact same stats as the regular serpent. It's true that in Content\Data\Monsters.xnb, it appears that they have the same base HP, etc. However, when looking at the executable code, there is definitely some distinction with how the Royal Serpent is spawned - I included a section implying increased HP (? I think? I am NOT fluent at this) and there are probably other differences too. I removed that trivia bullet point until someone can look more specifically at how the Royal Serpent is different from the normal one.

There is also adjustment to stats based on "difficulty" level of the mines, which is at least 1 in the dangerous caverns. BlaDe (talk) 08:56, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
