The item description says “Can cause indigestion.” It leaves out the tactical benefits.
Hag’s Cauldron is a mythical helmet in Slashin’. It looks like a cooking pot because, well, it is a cooking pot. Wearing it can make your hero release a cloud of gas that damages nearby monsters.
In other words, farting is a combat mechanic.
A useful side effect
The clip above takes the cauldron through a rat-filled cave, a forest, and another cave full of oozes. The gas is an effect of the equipment: it can happen while you’re moving around, without pressing a dedicated skill button.
That’s the kind of item I like making. Finding better equipment is a big part of building your hero, and an unusual property gives you something to try out in the next fight. Sometimes it also gives your hero a pot to wear on their head.
There are plenty of numbers to compare when choosing equipment. With this one, it’s worth reading the small print too.
What’s next for Slashin’?
Slashin’ is an action RPG in development for iOS and Android. Release is planned for this autumn, with beta testing before launch. Exact dates are still to be announced.
