Talk:Shadow Orb

Originally posted by User:Hellfirejag in the main article. [SW'AG-labs] A few instances have been recorded where a lethal fall can be survived if the player landed within an unknown(a reasonably small) distance above a Shadow Orb, and on top of ebonstone.

[SW'AG-labs]The circumstances of the above comment have been confirmed exactly 4 times. For each test, the Controll was a lethal fall at a static distance, the independent variable being the Lethality, and the dependant variable being the shadow orb. each test occured with the exact same area. The distance of the fall remains constant. The author requests that contributers attempt to perform additional tests needed to discover the exact distance in which the shadow orb projects this anomaly. Vissith 01:29, 25 May 2011 (UTC)


 * That's pretty cool. Is your estimate of the distance such that the bottoms of most chasms containing Shadow Orbs are safe?  I definitely want to confirm this tonight. --Theothersteve7 14:50, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

clarification
The Eye of Cthulu appearing from shadow orbs is pure speculation. Fact is that they appear randomly unless summened with an item. Meteorites do not only spawn from the FIRST orb. Goblin armies only require at least one orb to be broken, but breaking one isnt the trigger for summoning an army. --Blue Legion 12:20, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

Meteorite Crash
I just got the message in my game that a meteorite has landed but I have never broken a single Shadow Orb. This is my very first playthrough of the game.
 * I've heard there was a bug that cause Shadow Orbs to shatter at world creation, thus allowing meteors to spawn, even though you haven't smashed an orb yet. happypal (talk &bull; contribs) 10:36, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
