- This chance increases by 5% for every point of luck, reaching a 100% chance at 15 luck.
Interactions
Abyss: Absorbing Horncob spawns a grey Abyss Locust that looks like a pill. This locust has a chance to activate a random pill effect when killing an enemy.
Trivia
- Horncob is the only item that is exclusive to the
Dire Chest item pool in Fiend Folio: Reheated.
- In one of the teasers on the official Fiend Folio Twitter account leading up to Reheated's release, Horncob was seen being held as a pocket active by
Fiend, along with its unique costume.[1]
- This was intentionally made to act as a red herring to appear as a "Tainted" version of Fiend, in order to obscure
Tainted Fiend's true appearance.
- Additionally, in-game when Horncob is picked up as Fiend, white text will appear above Fiend that reads "The Unscrupulous", the supposed title of the "fake" Tainted Fiend.
