Weapons

Weapons are reusable items in The Manse on Soracca. They sit on the top bar of the player's inventory in the second slot. They can be quickly accessed by using the '2' key.

Description
There are three different weapons the player can use: the Revolver, the Shotgun, and the Starcycler. When the player has one equipped, pressing the use key will fire the weapon in whatever direction the player is facing. The player is briefly immobile while firing, so a missed shot could lead to a game over. The weapons follow a hierarchy of acquisition; Revolver, then Shotgun, then Starcycler. If the player finds the Shotgun before the Revolver, the Revolver will not spawn. The same is true for the Starcycler in regards to the two previous weapons.

List of weapons and their locations


 * Revolver: The Revolver is likely the first weapon the player will find. It is located in the Flashy Bedroom on the Second Floor. The player can hold a maximum of 6 bullets for it. The Revolver fires a single, large round in a straight line. The bullet can veer slightly from the firing position, so shots made on far away targets have a chance of missing entirely. Each bullet does 1 damage.
 * Shotgun: The Shotgun is a massive upgrade over the Revolver. Picking it up replaces the Revolver. It is found in the Sideyard on the Ground Floor. The player can hold a maximum of 12 shells for it. The Shotgun fires three pellets in a spread. Each bullet does 1 damage, meaning the Shotgun has a maximum damage output of 3 damage to a single target.
 * Starcycler: The Starcycler is the ultimate weapon of the game. It is located in the northeastern corner of The Catacombs only accessible with the Writhing Key. The player can hold a maximum of 18 charges for it, however, charges are pulled from the player's bullet and shell pool. It can be fed up to 6 bullets and 12 shells. When fired, it produces two energy balls that move in a helical pattern. Each of these balls will deal 2 damage to a target, meaning the Starcycler has a maximum damage output of 4 damage to a single target. Additionally, these projectiles pass through walls, making the Starcycler the most effective and easy-to-use weapon in the game. It is also the only weapon that can deal damage to the final boss. When fired in the presence of it, the energy balls' damage output is reduced to 0.25 damage.
