Weird glitch or new update?
 

So uh I saw this 'things' all over the place, you can kill them for gralats and I saw someone got a Key from it. Any explanation?

Apparently, it's named as 'Glitched Key'

Thinking it's a 10th anniversary event or something. Let's see how this progresses.

New quest, maybe for the 10th anniversary, who knows. I have the key.

Any idea what the keys do yet? Assuming you can collect multiples seeing as they have a 1 next to them.

Yep, i too have the key, it spawns very frequently just below the rebel hat shop. Check if you have it too, its in the quest folder but doesnt actually show a message when you receive it. Assuming its some cool quest but we will have to see - surely not for christmas, maybe new year? Likely anniversary.

I suggest people start looking round the map since the use of the key may already be in the game.

I checked every single part of the map and there's no place or buildings related to the key yet. Maybe it'll be added later once it's ready.

Also, there's small chance (probably not lol) this key will be used in Babord or the closed houses in the new Swamp? Who knows!

Glitches out the screen if you get hit by it

Here's some better looks at it:


It got trapped in the corner for like 5 minutes where no one could hit it, but got out somehow


Did you get 21 of them one by one or did you just check and it showed 21?

All the keys are the exact same.

Why is Green's and Mars96's different?

They're animated so they'd look different in most screenshots.

Ohhh, I had animations turned off. I have the big dumb!

Why does yours say 21 though, you can get more than one?

nah i just edited the image I don't think you can actually get more than 1.

Also here's a clear image of the thing.

Watch out it explodes.

The monster looks like a fusion of dodongo snake and moldorm worm so maybe thats why its looks glitched xD...

Looks like a bunch of spinning Mario shells to me.

Looks like those things from destiny with the shell

Christ whoever made that thing must have a brain tumour.

Well i chopped and I chopped but they don’t make swords sharp enough

Can anyone confirm? How many keys you can get? It is supposed to be just 1?... or you can collect as many as you can.

Its one by player, i mean the event is now active since one day, there are already people spamming it in case they get idk.. millions gralats drop lol.

Higbey... Is that you?

Bit weird of them to just release the enemy though without any context...

The key concerns me a lot. It is not like other keys in-game. When you look at it in the menu it has an amount associated with it. It's probably a currency of some kind. I'm expecting a temporary event similar to the carnival quests.

I'm not too fond of the quests. BKing gets way more love than PKing. I just hope I'm wrong and these keys are more useful than for some "free" cosmetics. Whatever it's for, it's clearly not ready, yet. If it takes or has taken any time away from NGS development then whatever is coming has to fill some big shoes to excuse itself for lost time.

NGS's been a work in progress since 2016, and this little glitch stuff at the end of 2019 is the big thing that''s taking up too much time to you? Are you feeling well?

Oof.

I actually love this so much. There's so much mystery. Props to the devs who worked on whatever this is.

Trying to enter nexus damages you. HMMM :eyes:

The whole outside of the castle is glitching too.

Imagine unix closing Graal and wishing us Happy Birthday.

A dream come true.

This is kinda strange. Obviously done on purpose, curious to see what happens.

Usually I'm not a fan with no explanation for events but it just feels right with this one. Things slowly breaking without word from anyone is just so fun and mysterious. Things got worse two days after the glitchy key baddies appeared so maybe every two days something new will happen up until the new year? Who knows.

The visual glitches and other bugs have become sentient.. they're going to overrun graal and on new year's eve, at 12am... they'll corrupt graal and make it unplayable unless you have the key

That's actually a really clever way to get rid of all the AFKers.

I LOVE IT!

Checking this out myself now.

EDIT: 20 minutes later, nothing so far. Not even a sighting of one dropping to the ground. Going to go for another 20 and if I don't get one then I guess it's proven you can still only get 1.
EDIT 2: 40 minutes have past and still nothing. You can still only collect one key so don't bother wasting your time.

Prolly a glitch.

I asked them about it and they said they didn't even confirm if it was true or not because they're a friend and apparently you should believe everything someone says if they're your friend. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Theres no possible way to get more than one. No one has more than one. Either she is lying or her friend is.

I hope we just need one key for whatever it is. I don't wanna to grind like crazy just like the Carnival quest. Btw, is there something new yet about this event?

Edit: what if the key will be used to enter glitched world :o

Meanwhile I can’t get a single one.

I told you you cant get more than one lol. But keep farming if you like doing this rofl ��.

All people saying they got more are liars trying to feel important.

Yeah I know but I just had to confirm it and all that. Didn't have to waste 40 minutes on it but I had nothing better to do that late at night.

Yeah her friend lied and she believed it then started spreading that info around to people who answered her question. She got mad at me for spreading misinformation because of my obviously a joke edited image on the first page.

And about your house, try garden shop.
You asked for what furniture you could put on the rampart, so you could try this :

And the rock thing too

I'll see how it looks. Thanks!

I've been killing these worms for like 30 minutes and haven't gotten a single key. How often do they drop?

Have you checked your quest folder for it? I'm pretty sure there's no actual indicator when you pick it up.

*whoops spoilers*


I adore the trippy glitch aesthetic. I have notice that using the shovel to herd it into a corner to kill, is affective as it bounces off snowballs.

When you just enter hardmode in terraria and the destroyer spawns on you in your base.

I keep chopping and chopping, any tricks to getting the thing to drop the key?

It all really comes down to luck. Make sure you keep checking your quest folder because I'm fairly certain that there's no indicator for actually picking it up.
