New Weapons

There are four types of weapons that have been added in this update: The Bottled Blobs, the Training Weapons, the Fist weapons and the Battleaxes.

Bottled Blobs

All bottled blobs require the new “Corked Vial” item, acquirable through the Bog Witch, selling 5 of them for 150 coins. The trophies can be gained for the respective monster

Frost: Corked Vial x1, Stone Golem Trophy x1, Resin x3

• Summons a Frost Blob. It’s good for slowing things down and freezing enemies.
  

Lava: Corked Vial x1, Sulfur x10, Proustite Powder x10

• Summons a Lava Blob. It burns enemies over time.
  

Poison: Corked Vial x1, Blob Trophy x1, Resin x3

Tar: Corked Vial x1, Growth Trophy x1, Tar x3

Fist Weapons

As there have only been 2 new Fist weapons added, I’ll speak on each individually.
