    is not excluded from being upgraded into, meaning the Benthic Bloom will inevitably start to duplicate itself at an increasing rate.
  • If a player has less items than the total that Benthic Bloom would upgrade at once, it's possible for it to select the same item twice. This means that an item can go straight from Common to Legendary in a single stage.
    • Additionally, identical items are consolidated into a single stack even in the middle of the Bloom's transformation sequence. This means a stack of a Common item can be upgraded twice if it combines with a stack of an Uncommon item the player already has.

Tips[]

  • Obtaining a Benthic Bloom in the first few stages of a run can lead to a massive boost in power by giving the player more Uncommon and Legendary items than normal by the end of the first loop, with the tradeoff of not having as many stacks of Common items.
  • On the other hand, since the Benthic Bloom transforms full stacks of the chosen items, obtaining it very late in a looping run may cause more trouble than it is worth.

Lore[]

"Luck? Who needs luck, in a place like this.

To survive here, you'd need more than just luck. You need intuition. Instinct. The right tools. Power.

I know you're scared. And I am too. But if there's anything this hell hole has taught me...

We make our own luck."

Version History[]

Survivors of the Void
  • (Undocumented) Added New Item: Benthic Bloom

Trivia[]

  • In keeping with the deep-sea theming of the Void, the term "benthic" refers to the very bottom of a body of water; in the context of this item, it can be surmised that the Benthic Bloom originates from the deepest recesses of the Void.
    • This may also be why the Benthic Bloom is the corruption of a legendary item, to reflect its scarcity and difficulty to obtain due to the depth of the Void it originates from.
