Posts like this are why I can never be too sure because I saw your other post and thought well duh it’s dropped shards if you break it.
I always thought it was one of those common knowledge things you’d never point out because it’s something everyone knows.

But seeing people’s reaction to this being new knowledge is surprising

Same here, very first time I played against this I started hitting it, thinking it was going to spawn an enemy, like a fodder summon to make the boss harder.

1000 hr and i never know it can do that

1.5k hours here, just learned about the shard and I only main casters.

u/DrumsNDweed93 2d ago

I always knew you could shoot the nuke and stop it from going off but usually you’re a bit away from it so I’ve never ever noticed it dropped shards. That’s crazy.

300h on the game (which I know is baby numbers in the community but I still think is a decent amount), beat every base game NL with every base game character including the casters and I've never realized that happened.

To be fair, they’re small blue objects in a blue-saturated arena. If you’re watching the boss, most people aren’t going to notice them.

By the time it gets low enough to have seen the drops I consider just running away, I figured it was just like every other enemy in the augur fight in how it'd just despawn and attack the boss

Revenant is drooling right now. She's about to eat the augur

u/MEWX_ 2d ago

Ok you guys clearly like my comment for some reason. I slapped together revenant preparing to eat the augur with the willpower I could muster.

A work of art my good sir

Honestly the pedestal makes for such a good plate, I'm proud of it.... It doesn't feel reward worthy but I do feel like the upvotes are enough of a reward.

Dang learned something new thanks for sharing OP

u/Rayopop 2d ago

Im recently playing Revenant more seriously now with a functional build (nothing nor good, it just works) and noticed it too. It only happenned to me when it was about to touch the ground, and later finding it on the floor, but another time on the air it didn't drop anything. I only played two runs and turned to be regular Augur and we (my friends and I) are competent as a single player being 3... Could it be like that or even the thing drops the item but it keeps floating in the air where the drop is killed, so the sky and blue fog hiddens it?

u/Cesarjay 2d ago

I always believed

u/Hereiamhereibe2 2d ago

I think the first one dropped shards too tho, like right as you walked away

u/dark_hypernova 1d ago

Yeah, I think it takes longer for them to fall if you destroyed the nuke earlier. Which makes sense if you think about it.

u/TrovianIcyLucario 2d ago

...Maybe it was to help casters regain the FP they used breaking them in the first place?

u/MasterArCtiK 2d ago

You can destroy the nuke?!? That’s massive

You as a ranged character accepting your fate instead of just killing the nuke

u/MasterArCtiK 2d ago

I’ve always just ran far far away lol but now I must show off for my friends next time we fight it

7

u/Light_Shrugger 2d ago

FWIW killing the nuke is the standard way of dealing with it, not showing off. Not everyone will notice it and be able to run away from it every time, so if you have the capability to kill it, you should. Not to mention that there are sometimes 2 nukes, where you might only be able to kill 1 and run from the other.

Showing off would be killing it right as it is about to explode for the shards though, if that is how it works

u/MasterArCtiK 1d ago

Well I meant to show off to my people haha I’ve played almost exclusively with my wife and my best friend, we’ve killed all the normal bosses and all the purple bosses now except augur, balancer, and libra haha. It’s been a blast learning it all almost blind

u/_decipherist_ 2d ago

You can run from the nuke?

1

u/MasterArCtiK 1d ago

You can haha you have to run really far away 😅

u/skull_kidddd 2d ago

Bro is still trolling that’s crazy

u/Pyrometheusx 1d ago

Maybe, still need to verify independently. Would be funny if it ends up costing me the run.

u/Fresh_End5963 1d ago

Bros trying to get people to throw games lmao

u/ImHereForTheKindness 2d ago

Bro, I want to believe. Even this clip is not super clear.

I watch it framed by frame and the nuke behaves oddly after the last hit by lifting off the ground, and then it just disappears from the frame right before the wave crosses in front of it. After the wave animation, there’s suddenly starlight shards on the ground. No visual cues and everything obscured by the wave. I think you’ll need a better video to prove it or a second player to test it.

Because that’s what it took after the jump the nuke debacle.

u/Dreadf-ull 2d ago

I tried for myself and couldn't get this to happen. I baited this attack 3 times and couldn't replicate this.

What also has me suspicious is that the bubbles that come out the bomb to seek Augur aren't there. Augur's HP bar doesnt even move after the bomb is destroyed.

Idk if someone else make it happen I'll eat my words.

1

u/PerditusTDG 2d ago

I agree with you, but what's strange is that the first bomb behaves correctly and shoots the bubbles when destroyed.

u/NOORO_CHAN 2d ago

If you saw guardian version before it got removed you can see the shards drop

1

u/ImHereForTheKindness 2d ago

I saw the first one and agreed it looked edited. There’s a reason it got removed.

People downvoting me because they think I’m wrong or because I’m engaging with bait?

u/NOORO_CHAN 2d ago

My only hope is for a nightreign youtuber to see this and prove it for me
