THE CRAWLER'S COMPANIONpatch notes for the apocalypse

Control Sigil

First seen: Book 3, Chapter 6

A glowing floor symbol, a circle of odd writing ringing a central triangle, that appears in front of a room off Banshee Station only for Carl, thanks to his Escape Plan skill. Per Mordecai, a gating tool that can bar a specific type of mob from passing, switched on and off by the show's producers rather than the dungeon's own AI, and considered sloppy programming since they're easy to break. This one glows blue, meaning it's active, though it has no effect on Carl himself.

Dungeon-Wide Mechanic

Stats

Invisible to everyone in Carl's party except Carl himself, and only because of his Escape Plan skill; Mordecai says a related but distinct type of sigil exists that crawlers can cast themselves, using more mana than Carl will ever have, though Donut might manage itB3C6

Connections

Carl:

Nearly steps on one glowing underfoot outside the supposed boss room off Banshee Station; gets no tooltip and can't find any info on it beyond what Mordecai explains over chat. It has no effect on him since it isn't set to block his own typeB3C6

Mordecai:

Identifies it from Carl's description as a control sigil, ties its use to secondary programs like Vengeance of the Daughter as well as the dungeon creators themselves, and confirms crawlers can't make one directlyB3C6
