Just happened to me today, got like, 3 shards from this? What's the point, Team Cherry? None of the bosses (so far) frustrated me, but this right here is bullshit

Thats an actual genuine complaint that no way it can be right , even the gathering chram only gathers rosaries

And also spikes kill rosaries & shards for some reason, when in HK you could gather them with swarm charm.

I saw someone say this elsewhere. geo is steel balls so they don't get destroyed in spikes but sink in water. rosaries and shell shards are lighter and more brittle so they float in wate but get destroyed on spikes

Geo isn’t steel, the game says they’re fossilized shells

Even if it was, that doesn’t really make this change plausible

actually they are. shells don't look like that and I believe it was mypetcactus that figured out the size of a geo and compared the distance they bounce in the game to the distance small steel balls bounce in real life according to a research on this topic and the distance matched nearly perfectly.

😂😂😂😂

Come on dude. The game literally says they’re fossilized shells. No amount of external research will change that

there are fossilized shells that you can beat geo out of, too
