Hedgehog recipe
HedgehogHow to get Hedgehog
Open the DLC content
Own and install Risen Ballbylon and complete the base game. Beast is a new DLC base ball. Bleed is a base-game ball. Check DLC access →
Get both ingredients to level 3
Obtain Beast and Bleed when offered in your run. Choose each ball again in level-up upgrades until both are level 3. Merely holding both balls is not enough.
Select Hedgehog at a Fusion Reactor
Pick up a Fusion Reactor when one drops and choose the Hedgehog Evolution. Look for the exact target name rather than trying to create a regular mixed fusion. The finished ball should be named Hedgehog.
What Hedgehog does
Inflicts bleed stacks and releases spiky baby balls when it hits an enemy.
Use & limits
Both bleed stacks and spiky baby balls need an enemy hit.
When to choose it
Choose Hedgehog when you want an enemy hit to add bleed and create extra projectiles at the same time.
If the Evolution is missing
Check the exact ingredient pair and both current levels. A recipe sharing one ingredient is a different target: check that both selected names match Hedgehog’s pair. If an ingredient has not appeared, it is still missing; no fixed drop time, minimum reactor count or guaranteed offer is implied.
If its effect looks different
If no baby balls appear, check whether the shot actually struck an enemy. Launching it or touching a wall does not trigger the on-hit effect.
