Early boss mobility from King Slime
The Slimy Saddle drops from King Slime with a 25% chance across all game difficulties. Summoning the Slime Mount places the rider atop a buoyant gelatinous blob that alters vertical physics. The mount jumps up to 12 tiles high and bounces continuously while the jump button is held down. Its rapid falling speed accelerates the rider downward at 102 ft/s, cutting travel time through vertical hellevators and deep mine shafts.
Bouncing attacks and descent acceleration
Falling directly onto enemy heads causes the mount to bounce upward while dealing 40 base summon damage to the target. This bounce resets downward momentum and grants invulnerability frames during the rebound, allowing skilled riders to stomp repeatedly on bosses like the Eater of Worlds. In addition, the mount cuts all fall damage in half, making it a valuable tool for early spelunking, quick descents, and escaping hostile swarms.
Trivia
- Bouncing off hostile monster heads deals base summon damage and cancels downward fall momentum.
- Holding down while falling on the slime mount reaches maximum descent terminal velocity faster than falling freely.
