The Vial of Starlight[1] is a consumable item that is only obtainable in The Backdoor or with the "Prize Inside" candy while the “Trick Or Treat” modifier is active. The Vial of Starlight was added on March 15th, 2024 in The Hunt: First Edition update.
Appearance[]
AppearanceVial of Starlight appears as a cylindrical potion with a golden liquid with Curious Light's symbol in a white color on its middle. The cork has a glowing circular line going around it.
Usage[]
UsageWhen used, the Vial of Starlight makes Players glow, heals 25 health and provides a speed boost. The healing done by Vial of Starlight can reach over maximum HP, granting players temporary overheal. This drains at a rate that causes them to reach 100 HP once the effect ends, so long as no damage is taken during that time. The speed boost, glow, and overheal last for 5 seconds. The Vial of Starlight doesn't affect any instant-death entities although the extra health is present.
Notes[]
- Multiple Vial of Starlights cannot be taken in quick succession (and by extension players cannot stack its effects). After the effects wear off, players must wait a few seconds before using another.
- Vial of Starlights can be helpful in running through rooms quickly after a setback from Blitz, or can heal after being hurt by The Lookman.
- If using the vial at full health, players will be given a temporary overheal.
- The potion can save from entities that deal at least 100 damage or more such as Ambush, but still get damaged by them.[2]
- It grants 25 HP, which allows a maximum of 125 HP with overheal, which is exactly the amount of damage Rush and A-60 deals, meaning you cannot survive Rush or A-60 using a lesser Vial of Starlight. You have to use a Bottle of Starlight to survive either one of them.
Pros and Cons[]
Pros and ConsPros[]
- Maximum stack of 5 per player.
- May be used to regain lost time from multiple Blitz encounters, reducing the risk of Haste.
- The speed effects of Vial of Starlight can be stacked with Vitamins, giving a very short but very quick speed boost.
- They are comparatively easy to collect many of, as they are plentiful in The Backdoor, though you may need to spend your time there wisely.
- It can be used as a light source for dark rooms if a player has no kind of light source, such as a Flashlight, Lighter, etc.
- Gives a pseudo-shield bar when health is overhealed, which can defend you from non-instant death entities such as Ambush.
Cons[]
- Speed Boost cannot be stacked with itself or other starlight items.
- The speed boost is only 5 seconds, and the overheal drains quickly.
- Overheal HP will not protect you from instant death Entities such as Seek or Figure.
- Overhealed health cannot defend from Rush or A-60.
- Only obtainable on The Backdoor which can be tedious/luck based.
Trivia[]
- The name "Vial of Starlight" comes from the developer console "Starlight", as when drinking it a message is created in the console that mentions the vial as "Starlit".
- The Vial of Starlight might have been a way for the developers to actually add the Mini Shield Potion from the Super Hard Mode Event into the game.
- There is a special line that El Goblino will say when you're holding the Vial of Starlight in front of him. He will say "Wh-what is dat, hombre? A golden liquid... beautiful! Oye... can I have a sip?"
- The Vial of starlight is the first canon Item ever made that could stack higher then 3, another being the Glowstick.
