(Evan can't answer)

I've noticed in a couple games that I'll find a magical catalyst outside of the room with the alchemy pot, and sometimes I'll also discover a hidden secret room with an extra alchemy pot and usually two bonus energy crystals in it.

Is it implied that when you find a loose catalyst there is probably also an alchemy pot room in that level?

There may have been an alchemist pot on level 2, yes, but levels 3,4,6,7,8,9,11,12,13,14,16,17,18,19,21,22,23 or 24 might as well have had one (if we don't take in account the guaranteed ones) with the same chance 2 had of generating one. There is also ONE other correlation between magical catalysts and alchemist pots. Evan added the guaranteed pots, one for each chapter between the last 2 floors of the chapter for the catalyst, as dropping the catalyst (is always guaranteed) but then not being able of using it because of not spawning a pot, or being able to use it at floor 24 seemed like a bad idea. Their positions are independent from each other (well, they might both call the seed, advancing it, having in theory an influence on where the other spawns, but that's still seed's job, if I am right on how I think the seed works)

And how confident are you in this assertion? Are you simply Evan wearing an evil mustache?

[–] Vencedor@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

100% sure, I've done a lot of runs and everything I say is contrasted by that. Finding a pot on the same floor as the catalyst is pure luck, you'll check it by yourself once you've done enough runs
