Hidden Reactions (Orchid Mod)

Hidden Reactions are special effects triggered with Mouse 3 by default or by using Hidden Reactions Codex. Each effect can be used only after mixing the correct chemical weapons.
Using a Hidden Reaction gives the player the Experimental Drawbacks debuff, preventing it from using more for a variable amount of time depending on the mixture. Failing a Hidden Reaction grants 5 sec. of this debuff.

From version 1.3.0.5 of the mod, Hidden Reactions will also refund 50% of their potency cost.

Hidden Reactions don't need to be unlocked, the player just needs to know the right weapons to mix. Once a day, the Chemist will give the player an Alchemist Recipe Scroll whose color represents its rarity. Upon using, the Scroll will reveal the components of a random Hidden Reaction with the same rarity.

The Chemist will always give the highest rarity of hint available to the player, given at least 1 Hidden Reaction for this tier of hint is still undiscovered. If that is not the case, a hint of lower rarity will be given. That process repeats up to the hint rarity.

A new rarity of hint is unlocked by killing bosses, in order:

• from the start,
• after Eye of Cthulhu,
• after Skeletron,
• after Wall of Flesh,
• after The Destroyer, Skeletron Prime or The Twins,
• after Golem.

Unlocked Hidden Reactions and their general info can be seen with Hidden Reactions Codex sold by the Chemist for 10.

Hidden Reactions without a rarity have different unlocking methods:

• Sunflower Seeds doesn't have a hint;
• Mushroom Thread is unlocked by talking to the Chemist with Glowing Mushroom Extract or a Glowing Mushroom in the inventory;
• Fire, Water and Air Spores are the first hint the Chemist will give to the player;
• Lily Purification is unlocked by talking to the Chemist with Jungle Lily Extract or a Jungle Lily Bud in the inventory.
