Nest

"No prayers, no words, not even deeds can rightfully honour our protectress; only sacrifice means true loss, and hence, true belief".

The Sacred Barks, 20:1.

Since time immemorial religious rituals have proven themselves to be extremely useful tools for eliminating one's enemies. This one also helps to keep the ticks at bay.

Before dawn the Nest spills forth its wretched brood, ever hungry, hunting for their mother.

Giant Tick Outfits

Beating Mama Tick will also reward the player with one of her outfits. There are 6 Giant Tick outfits, one for each difficulty and one that can be obtained if a special condition is met. The outfit of the lowest difficulty remaining is always the one that drops, e.g. the Classic outfit will drop on 4 BSC if it hasn't been looted yet. On the other hand, the special outfit has the unique trait of being obtainable at any difficulty as long as a special condition is met. The player must sacrifice the Mushroom Boi! in a lore room located before leaving the Morass of the Banished.
