Hawkster's Peck has a chance to do critical/elemental effects if the pet owner is holding a Weapon that has the ability to do so.Piggy synergizes well with Hawkster, as the owner of Piggy can consistently gain 20% of their health back from the guaranteed fruit drops that Hawkster generates.This can be exploited on most enemies to generate an infinite supply of fruit with a precise setup.The most common example of this happening is when an enemy jumps or rolls off of the ground after they reach 0 HP, allowing Hawkster to generate multiple pieces of fruit before the enemy drops dead on the ground. Hawkster can pick up multiple fruit from a single enemy if the game thinks they are "on the ground" for longer than usual, and the player picks up the fruit so Hawkster can generate more food.Overkill from any melee attack that doesn't sever the head or knock the enemy in the air, or in layman's terms, the enemy after suffering fatal damage, immediately collapses to the floor on their back. If the enemy dies in these ways, then Hawkster won't collect food:

Losing all HP after being knocked into the air.ĭying from any magic attack besides XXXY (XXXYY isn't considered the same as XXXY since the enemy is knocked over by it). If the enemy dies in these ways, then Hawkster will collect food: Note that if the enemy dies from something that doesn't knock it over such as dying on contact from a sword or something similar, then Hawkster won't grab food.

In fact with Hawkster, it is easier to complete levels without a Health Potion (bar the Insane Mode Necromancer fight) Hawkster only generates fruit, and not any other type of food. Hawkster will float over to a dead enemy and proceed to harvest a piece of fruit from them. This effect, while it's not the main ability, is Hawkster's main use.
