The respect of the mantis should be split checks

[clever field]

for every room with a mantis, there should be separate checks for their respect
(so one for the mantises in the mantis lords room, one for the mantis that blocks the door, etc)
(maybe it could be split between each mantis as well but then that's a little bit of a push and mostly useless)

i think it’d work better if the Mantis’ respect was a check

so you can find the respect

and all of them will respect you

instead of it being split between rooms

YOOOOOOOOOOOOO

thats awesome

[civic stream]

and also grimmchild doesnt attack mantises that respect you anymore

[hardy coral]

[umbral swallow]

That'd be awesome

I feel like taking on this approach. Just one check for the Mantis' respect. Will work on it when I have some spare time.

Necromancy mode - I took my time but this is a setting in the new "Access Randomizer" mod

I want this so badly. Right now with my current preferred settings all that beating mantis lords is good for is accessing the rightmost edge of deepnest since theres like 5 different ways I can get into deepnest that are much easier, so randomizing the respect would not only make the randomizer more difficult but it'd give me more reason to defeat mantis lords. So glad to see confirmation that its going to be real.

The Access Randomizer mod has the Mantis Respect being a check. The transition to Deepnest and all of the Mark of Pride room checks will require the Mantis' Respect (and beating the Lords will grant an item) if enabled.

Oh, it's already a thing now? Neat! Lemme just go add that then, tysm.

Yeah, it's pretty new but it's up and running. Expect updates with new checks soon
