Slimy Saddle



The Slimy Saddle is a Mount summoning item. When used, it summons a friendly Slime Mount. The Slime offers increased jump height (21 tiles) and movement speed (20 mph), reduction in fall damage, floating on water surfaces, and continuous auto-jump by holding the key. Landing on enemies while riding this mount will deal 40 damage excluding defense to them. For the purposes of this damage, the slime mount is considered a Minion and benefits from effects that boost the damage of summons.

The Slimy Saddle has a 25% (1/4) chance of being dropped by King Slime in normal mode, and a 50% (1/2) chance of being found in a King Slime Treasure Bag in Expert Mode.

Tips

 * A player can easily get from the bottom of a large body of water to the surface by mounting the slime saddle as the mounted slime will float to the top.
 * Players fall at a very rapid rate whilst riding the slime. This can be extremely useful, as it allows you to travel down hellevators with great speed.
 * The Cloud in a Bottle's double jump ability works while riding the slime mount. The same goes for all other multi-jump accessories (excluding wings).
 * Damaging an enemy with the slime mount will reset your invulnerability, meaning that you can take damage after jumping on an enemy.
 * The slime mount can be used to save a drowning player. If a player is about to run out of air, and the slime mount is summoned, the player will take no damage from drowning.
 * By grappling to a wall and activating the mount mid-way, the bright particle effects will go ~16 blocks through, thus revealing caverns and valuables. Combined with the zoomed-in overlay map, this is a good way to explore the underground early on. Note that to activate the mount while grappling, you need to have enough space at the point of activation for the mount to appear.

Trivia

 * You fall roughly twice as fast while riding the slime than falling down without it. However, the stopwatch will still display 51 mph, the standard falling speed.
