Finally, after a Stalker has found its target and is preparing to detonate, the bomb turns red.Ī Stalker is immune to being sanded, likely because its blood is already sand. After a few seconds, it will turn yellow, indicating the Stalker is ready to explode. Upon spawning, a Stalker's bomb will glow green, and will not detonate. In addition, all missing health is converted to hard damage, temporarily preventing V1 from healing.Ī Stalker's bomb has a ring of light on its top, middle, and bottom, indicating its status. If V1 themselves is caught in a Stalker's explosion, they will take 10 damage. Swordsmachine (Will actively hunt down and detonate Stalkers)Īny enemies caught in a Stalker's explosion will have their blood permanently turned into sand and will no longer bleed upon taking damage.The priority list for Stalkers is as follows: The Stalker will not intentionally sand Drones, Mindflayers, Virtues, or other Stalkers (although Stalkers are immune to the sand effect due to not bleeding in the first place). Killing a Stalker at any time will cause it to explode with a smaller area of effect. If no enemies are available or if all enemies have been sanded, Stalkers will begin to target V1 and try to detonate on top of them. As the bomb is about to detonate, the lights flash red and the bomb gives off a loud beeping noise.īy default, Stalkers will not attack V1, instead shambling towards the nearest un-sanded enemy before slamming down their bomb and detonating it. As the Stalker is damaged, the lights on its bomb will dim and its humming will begin to distort and falter. The Stalker's bomb will constantly give off a low humming noise. Contained within is a large pile of golden powder, which converts blood to gold sand on contact. When they are about to detonate, they let out a loud, distorted screech before slamming down their bomb and exploding.Ī Stalker's bomb is cylindrical, being mostly glass with rings of colored light and metal. At all times, Stalkers will constantly take in frantic, raspy breaths through their gas mask. When they walk, the rings on their limbs will jingle with every step. While idle, Stalkers will occasionally tremble, as if about to drop the burden they are forced to carry. Thus, the Stalker is always walking backward in relation to its body, shambling along with an awkward gait. Its arms are warped to hold a large glowing bomb on its 'back', which in reality is actually its front. Its head is completely reversed on its body, facing backward. The Stalker's head is covered by a hood and a gas mask with yellow lenses and a long oxygen tube that dangles from the mouth.Ī Stalker's physiology is bizarre. They are clothed in gold-lined black cloth that hangs downward from their side, with golden rings that circle around their wrists and legs. Stalkers are shriveled, dark grey humanoids with spindly legs and a perpetually hunched appearance.
