Arthropod Phobia Expansions + Horror Bosses / Spider Moth

ArPhEx 4.4.2af

• Added two new highly useful items, finally ArPhEx has a form of backpack storage! Firstly, the “Prowler Pack” - an item that you can obtain exclusively from high level dungeons, letting you store up to 27 items inside. Comes with a bonus item-grabbing ability, toggled with shift+right click. Secondly, the “Singularity Satchel”, an upgraded version of the prowler pack letting you store up to 93 items, including specialised slots for sealed scarabs and inventory boost items like the mantle of vitality, retaining their abilities without needing to take up inventory slots! Provides the same toggleable item-grabbing ability, with longer range
• The new Tormentor Laser attack is now limited to only activate under 200hp. It also now won’t target players with respite, and moves slightly slower.
• Added yet another new armour set - Juggernaut Armour. This set serves as a final, ultimate upgrade to tier 3 Chitin, stretching its capacity into the range of the boss armours. Finally, the “heavy chitin” item has a direct use - smith it with tier 3 chitin pieces to create juggernaut armour set pieces, featuring all the chitin set’s abilities, plus much higher defence and some bonus abilities: Resistance 2 when crouching, total damage blocking from behind (with 5s cooldown after each block, and particles to make you aware of the attack).
• Decreased the health of the dragonfly dreadnought from 150 to 100, and reduced its movement speed. Less overly OP
• Removed the included Mantle of Vitality and Bane of the Darkness bonuses from the Abyss Ascendant, due to the fact that you can now store these items without taking up extra inventory space, through the new Singularity Satchel. Still provides immunity to Terror effects
• Small hornet harbinger variants are now slightly bigger, with a noticeably larger hitbox, making them easier to fight against
• Fixed rare issue with Spider Moth spawning, limited to cases where it spawns very far away
• Improved Tormentor Summon mechanics and hitbox visibility, reduced lag when attacking
• Double jump ability of chitin and juggernaut armour now overrides fall height when used
• Doubled spawnrate of moth moontracker. These were too common when first added, due to being registered as animals, leading to excessive nerfing in addition to changing to hostile mob spawning.
• Performance improvements
• Bonus major improvements, potentially the best ever added to arphex:
• New message on player joining world “Welcome to Australia simulator 2025, playername. G’day mate, you’ll need these!” *gives bug spray and pole gun
• Abyssal tools renamed to Abysmal, and now have debuffs (rename them in an anvil to fix)
• Tormentor high-health model replaced with Giant Enemy Spider, and new no-AI “Small Enemy Spider” mobs will spawn everywhere.
• Giant enemy spider music will now play at random intervals when the Tormentor is present
• Spider Moth is now friendly, hugging instead of damaging mobs/players.
• Added “Pole Gun”, perfect for shooting metal poles at giant enemy spiders
• Added bug spray, 100 armour piercing damage to any arthropods it is used against happy april fools
