Cast Gem is a rock trinket added in The Reheated Update.

Effects

• Spawns an orbiting Cast Gem that can be thrown in the direction Golem shoots, and will aggressively home in towards enemies.
• Upon hitting an enemy, the Cast Gem deals damage equal to Golem's Damage + 2, and stick themselves to the enemy, applying a stack of bruising for 10 seconds.
  • Bruised enemies take 1 additional damage from all sources for each stack of bruising.
• If either the enemy dies while the Cast Gem is embedded; when the duration of the stack of bruise runs out; or if the Cast Gem miss their target and hit a wall, the gem will fall to the ground. Walking over the fallen Cast Gem will pick it back up, allowing it to be thrown again.

Notes

• The Cast Gem orbiting Golem will not block projectiles, nor deal contact damage.
• The Cast Gem has infinite range and will fly over obstacles when thrown.
• The aggressive homing of the Cast Gem can cause them to make circles around an enemy in an attempt to hit them.
• Golem's shot speed stat will increase the speed of the thrown Cast Gem.
• The Cast Gem will return to orbiting Golem upon entering a new room.

Interactions

• Trinket Multipliers: Spawns additional orbiting gems, scaling with the multiplier.
• Cast Gem is identical to those granted by the Nyx item and features the same interactions and synergies.
• Azurite Spindown: Using Azurite Spindown on Cast Gem rerolls it into Stalactite.

Trivia

• Cast Gem is a reference to Hades, a 2020 roguelike dungeon crawler video game.
