The odds and ends a level hides

The smaller set pieces in R.E.P.O. — named potions, a set of gnomes and the head in the museum — so a strange thing in a level can be read for what it is.

Applies to

0.4.0, read from the copy of the game this site was built from (see the sources page)

Before you start

• A level with valuables in it
• Somewhere to stand back
• A crew that will not smash everything

Steps

1. Expect potions to be valuables in their own right rather than props.
   four potions are named as kinds of valuable in their own right
2. Stand back from the levitation potion.
   the levitation potion carries a sphere for levitation
3. Pick the small potion up carefully, because it carries a health pool and a healing aura and breaks into particles.
   the small potion holds a health pool and a healing aura and breaks into particles
4. Treat the gnomes as one set piece rather than as separate monsters.
   a director keeps the gnomes as a set, with a list of them and a state of its own
5. Expect them to close on you at different speeds.
   each gnome moves at a speed between a minimum and a maximum
6. Watch how they avoid each other rather than expecting a straight line.
   they have a collider for avoiding each other and an offset for backing away
7. Listen for the pickaxe, because its warning and its hit are separate sounds.
   the pickaxe has a tell and a hit as separate sounds
8. Give the museum's head room, because opening it is staged.
   it is a head that opens and closes with its own transforms and sounds, an animation curve and a lights curve, open particles and a spot light, and eyes with a red state, a cooldown curve and a colour used while cooling

Common mistakes

• Treating a named potion as ordinary loot and carrying it into a fight.
• Meeting the gnomes as if they were a single monster.
• Missing the pickaxe's warning sound.
• Standing next to the museum head while it is opening.
