You can also get that message if you increase the Lifetime of cessation long enough , so that it won't ruin the run.

Alternatively a nolla and a timer spell? Since recharge isn't affected by anything in the timer spell

[@PotionScape]

Nevermind, it can't be placed in them

[@Smoth48]

To all those asking: Cessation cannot be placed inside a hollow egg, or any other trigger for that matter. Attempting to place Cessation inside of a payload causes it to be cast instantly, and the charge is consumed, even before the trigger payload would normally detonate. Also, Cessation has no effect on the remaining duration of any effects from consuming a material (i.e, it will not extend the duration of poly immunity, worm blood, etc.)

[@noby_y]

*Explaining Cessation mechanics:* - *Avoiding Cast Delay (CD) / Recharge Time (RT) with divides* Adding Double Cast before D2 in the wand from the video would solve the issue. Divides "not working" when targeting a greek letter has nothing to do with how either greek letters or divides work. It's easy to make it work even if you're copying Cessation with a greek letter and you don't absolutely have to divide either Greek letter or Cessation (although it's easier to do it directly). All you need to do is to make sure that the cast with Cessation in it is the last cast on the wand before it recharges. In the video after D2 copies Gamma there's still Cessation itself left on the wand which makes it not the last cast. _Technicalities_ : The reason it works is because when Cessation gets cast it starts the wand reload with whatever current reload time is. If the normal wand reload also starts after Cessation it will overwrite the time wait that Cessation sets. Divides save current CD / RT, then copy the spell that they target, then set CD / RT back to the saved values which is what allows them to "bypass" CD / RT of whatever they copy. The problem is that even tho both CD and RT got reset, unless it's the very last cast of the wand RT doesn't do anything and instead the wait time is whatever Cessation passes when it starts the reload. And Cessation gets cast in the middle of divide by evaluation so the order of operations goes something like: save CD / RT -> cast Cessation -> add CD / RT -> start reload with current CD / RT -> set CD/RT back -> [ start waiting for CD ] OR [ start waiting for CD / RT if it's the last cast ] In the case of _not last cast_ only CD is overwritten but not RT since RT applies on the last cast therefore the reload time is the one that Cessation set. - *Triggers/timers* You can evaluate Cessation inside of a trigger/timer to avoid its Cast Delay. The effect of Cessation is not adding something to the payload, instead it directly affects the world when the spell gets cast (same way End of Everything does). Triggers/timers don't cast spells, they release the payload that was added by spells *when the wand was cast.* - *Refreshing effect duration* Cessation and Poly both refresh the duration of status effects that rely on their LifetimeComponent because it refreshes the frame on which the component is supposed to kill that effect. Ingesting things and getting stains is based on some quantity of the thing that gives you the effect like poly meat timer is based on how much meat you eat or Healthum regeneration stain is some % value that decreases as you move around. Additionally things like Regeneration Effect from Circle of Vigour that are a GameEffect also won't get reset if their lifetime is based on their GameEffect lifetime. _Most impactful effects you can reset_ : Homing, Weakening, Twitchy, Hearty wizards - Hungry Ghost buff (yes, you can stack it infinitely if you cast Cessation fast enough) - Personal Throwers - Personal Gravity Field - Venom Curse - certain Twitch Integration effects (haven't personally tested but there's nothing that would prevent that from happening from what I can see). All of those effects get reset if they apply to the player. No reason to apply them to enemies since they can't get Cessation effect (explained below). - *Cessation on enemies* No enemy in the game has the right component to get the Cessation effect. Even if you give them the wand and they cast it Cessation simply won't do anything until it finds PlatformShooterPlayerComponent which, as the name suggests, is a component that only a player has. Unless you're playing with mods and there's some enemy that also has that component. P.S. If there are other questions then the best place to ask is either the official Noita Discord or Dunk's own discord

[@supremebuffalo6322]

Excellent info. Also, Cessate, or Cease? 🙃

[@noby_y]

@@supremebuffalo6322 I initially thought it was some standalone Latin word but apparently it comes from Latin "Cessatio" which in turn comes from "Cesare" which also means to _cease_ so you're right. 👍

I've been thinking about an explosive reactive fish armor wand build using True Orbit and Drilling Shot with Summon Fish to have orbiting projectile eaters, but I don't think you can use Cessation with any kind of trigger. It just casts Cessation instantly when you cast the wand.

[@KiloShank]

Neat video. Something else I noticed about cessation is that it ignores delayed casting orders. Say if you have a Delayed cast and/or a long distance cast that has an extended lifetime cessation will still cast first. You can also multicast it with Destruction and not pay the HP cost, or alongside explosion spells without taking damage. (Explosion of thunder won't even set you on fire when you start existing again)

[@SaxonWaters-tz1ef]

I really love your content you should upload more often if you can

[@underdoug]

Would love an add trigger spell that works like the normal add trigger, but if it hits an eligible entity, the triggered spell is modified to be "owned" by the entity hit by it. It basically makes the target cast the triggered spell, as though they had a wand. I'm sure there are some other funky things you could do with it, probably around healing, but you could bap something with it where the triggered spell is an infinite duration cessation and they'd just... cease. Something like [spark bolt][add source trigger][reduce lifetime][cessation] would fire a sparkbolt that causes the target to cast the infinite cessation. Would be super overpowered, but so is an infinitely recursing spells-to-power tentacle with infinite damage.

[@rajkanishu]

the idea is super cool and they can probably just nerf it so any entity that is not the player cannot combine reduce lifetime and cessation to get the infinite disappearing effect and just make a bunch of exceptions for other op combinations, it's not like they haven't done it before

I wonder what you could do with the logic spells here... maybe set up a wand so that it alternates between a heavy damage spell and divide-by-cessation, making you rapidly blip in and out and announcing every reappearance with a lightning bolt or some shit. Could be a neat strategy against those damage reflecting bosses you mentioned because you wouldn't even need to swap your wands mid fight.

[@DeaganSG]

Does the spell work on the player when used from inside a hollow egg trigger? If so could you use it to instantly remove a polly effect in a similar defensive manner to holding an egg with circle of shielding, or would it count as status effect like the heartbreak effect and extend it instead? I am presuming it wouldn't work at all as the egg would count as the caster and not the player?

[@venrakdrake]

HMMMM this needs investigation

[@Smoth48]

Does not work, unfortunately. Cessation cannot be placed inside a trigger of any kind.

[@DeaganSG]

@@Smoth48 Didn't think it would as it specifies the caster in the spell description, which would techincally be the triggering spell (egg or other), and those get consumed or destroyed when the payload fires. Thanks for confirming though.

[@noby_y]

No, that's incorrect. The triggers don't count as casters because they don't cast spells to begin with. The word "caster" refers to an entity that actually cast the wand. All spells are cast instantly, triggers release _payload_ and the payload is _added to them by spells_ . You're not shooting a gun that releases a bullet that loads and shoots another gun. You're shooting a gun that releases a bullet that has another bullet inside of it which gets released on condition (collision / death / timer)

[@DeaganSG]

Ok Dunk, I've got a doozy for you. I hope you're sitting down, because this one is for real. I know you bring an element of sarcasm and humor to your Twitch and You-tube videos, claiming you're a God-Gamer which we all appreciate, and I know you enjoy saying. Don't get me wrong; you've shown that you've earned it. While that's all well and good, in you tenure as a Noita professional, I feel like I'm not alone when I say that at this point in your career; You not only deserve a challenge worthy of (A) God-Gamer, but a challenge worthy of (THE ONE TRUE) God-Gamer. I'm very aware of how challenging Noita is, and how unforgiving it can be. It was only because of your content and guidance that I was able to achieve my first win, so long ago. That being said, I know my place... Here's the challenge; No hit, no holy-mountain, pacifist sun quest. There is no time limit, use as many exploits as you want, and you can even use a seeded run. An achievement only begotten by the One True God-Gamer. I'm sure you're aware there are many more stipulations I could have added, but I feel this should be challenging enough. To my knowledge, no one has ever even attempted this run. I honestly believe you should attempt this one in private and not even stream or post about it until completion. I'm aware that you're probably not up to such a monumental task. But wouldn't it be a sight to behold. May sweat rain down from the heavens, leaving us all moist and squishin in our britches. Amen.

[@DucMarcus34]

I'm wondering if it's possible to cast Cessation at the same moment a fungal shift happens, so we can dodge the your reality as shifted debuff and the 5 min cooldown on fungal shifts

[@rajkanishu]

is the fungal shift "timer" tied to the character or the world itself? like you eat the fungus and after 2-3 seconds the shift happens, if those 2-3 seconds are tied to your character then cessation probably just pauses the timer so you can't really skip it since the debuff happens when the timer runs out, but if they are not then I can see this working

[@Baddaby]

​​​​@@rajkanishuI would guess it's a world trigger, that only activates after the player has a "trippin balls" status effect that would last more than 185s (and has a 5 minute cooldown) So in that case cessation wouldn't matter

[@KaBOOMochka]

And now the question... Is this a feature or a bug? But this is very interesting! This would be pretty cool way to use this spell if they keep it in game...

[@godslayer9000]

it feels like a bug due to the way the spell works, but it could be left in as a "feature" since it isn't that overpowered. It just makes the heartmage trick slightly lenient. The risk is still very real, and I'd argue it's increased since some players will try to find hearts at absurdly low hp using cessation instead of luring the mage near a heart.

[@subrahmanyammantha7388]

Hey Dunk! Can you make a video on divide by spells?

@@MajorMike4868 infinite healing for one

[@xn85d2]

Rock boss also matches your max hp, and actually sets your HP to his. That means that if you both start at 3k HP, you do 1k damage to him, heal to full, hit him for another 1k, your HP plummets to 1k to match his immediately. And if he dies, you also die. Cessation or a +1 life perk or Saving Grace are mandatory for that fight. When you kill him, 3 wand ghosts spawn so you need to make sure you don't die to them after surviving the boss. Deer boss you can actually heal through but he likely has a lot more max HP than you to start, plus he has slow orb attacks that deal a ton of damage if they hit and many indestructible ghosts (that still block non-piercing projectiles) surrounding him that do contact damage, unlike the rock who has no attacks and just an anti-ambrosia aura. Lost my giga run the other day to the deer boss by clicking my tele wand instead of my cessation wand after firing the damage wand at him. 🥲

@@player03 true I missed that part. Too bad

[@Smoth48]

Skoude still shows up. However, instead of polymorphing and being vulnerable, since you just disappear, you come back with all your perks as a mage and are relatively safe by comparison. Way way easier to use than poly.

[@RemotelySkilled]

Late comment, but I hope you're feeling good and honourable. Challenge: Finish a normal new game with only one restraint. You have to employ Disc Projectiles in your main wand as soon as you come across them (wands, shops, etc.). Everything else (like modifiers etc.) is perfectly fine. Show us your utter skill in Noita physics, please!

[@Majorchug]

Just spitballing ideas, I wonder if it has a strange effect with tele bolts? like if you teleport but the game cant find your character to move? I wonder if it would be a great teleport build if you could time it right, keep you in the no realm until the telebolt is done.

[@Saplingbat]

Yea I feel like the heart mage specifically will get patched, but maybe not, you do have to jump through some hoops to get cessation. Even if it's not that complicated. Plus it's a single player game so who knows. Thanks for the video! Any chance we could get the 100% progress run sometime?

Using Liquid Vacuum Field or a similar spell would probably be safer, since accidentally teleporting into poly or lava is really the only major danger teleportation, and cessation would save you if you teleport in the middle of one of those.

Edit: Nvm, you can use Divide By directly, but Cessation still stops you from teleporting for the duration you don't exist, so I think it'd still slow down the teleport speed a lot.

[@rajkanishu]

it is quite powerful but if you want to abuse it you still need to go look for a heart at very low HP, while remembering to cast cessation at regular intervals which also might not have infinite casts yet so you risk running out, all while dealing with eventual enemies and juggling wands for damage/digging, you could use ambrosia to not be so vulnerable at low health but because it removes the stain you need to reapply it every time and that's one more thing to juggle and it also eventually runs out in ideal circumstances so if you have infinite casts and no enemies to worry about it essentially replaces the process of "escorting" the heart mage close to a heart but is that really easier/more convenient than just doing it normally? considering the places where you usually do the trick have both easy to find mages and hearts? idk it doesn't sound nerf worthy to me, it's probably fine as is I have nowhere near the knowledge or experience Dunk has so if anything I said is wrong/outdated or I am missing something like some spell combinations or modifiers that make this too broken then by all means feel free to correct me

No, each Ghost can only give you 2 buffs at a time, so the only way that would work is if for some reason using cessation makes the game forget where those Hungry Ghost buffs came from and resets your Hungry Ghosts to having not given any buffs, but I doubt that's how it would work.

Can cessation in an egg be used as the new polymorph protection? Are you still considered the caster if you’re polymorphed and if yes then does poly count down while in the void dimension?

[@Smoth48]

Nope, cessation cannot be placed inside a trigger of any kind.

[@noonereally4370]

I used a red clock on my cessation accidentaly... ho to fix?

[@christopherjones829]

it's too late for you then

[@xn85d2]

Pretty sure you do actually reappear eventually. I just takes a long-ass time. Like 10 whole minutes of doing nothing because your character doesn't exist.

Wow, thats insane. Btw, can you tell us tricks to bait the heart mage quicker? Often times he just goes and kill himself (even with tp wand) -_-"

[@blad...]

Really? Heartmages never kill themselves with a TP wand in my runs except if there's fire everywhere (just don't go near fire or put it out with eyeball laser).

[@ale_wlv]

@@blad... Two got shot ded by another mage/enemy. Third one died to lava. And I even try to heal them with explosion...

[@ale_wlv]

@@blad... Found a way. There's an optimal distance in which it will follow you

[@blad...]

@@ale_wlv oh I ALWAYS clear out the area so it's enemy free. Just me and the heartmage. He follows me with Telebolt and I kick it out of his hands when we arrive.

Doesn’t seem that powerful with heart mage imo. This will let you more easily gather max heart stacks when you *already* have high health, sure, but when you already have high health you kinda don’t need more. Makes the trick easier to do though, as you no longer need to bring the mage close to the heart, so helps with convenience!

[@blad...]

What are you talking about? You can get a crap ton of stacks with this. It will allow you to get way more.
