Lodeite

Lodeite is a hostile humanoid creature found in Canaan and in several reactor areas. It appears alongside the Canaanite cult and is associated with Niketas and the village church, making it part of the same hostile religious environment that players encounter in that region.

Lodeites are durable and can use “holy” energy in a similar way to Niketas, which makes them a dangerous opponent in close quarters. Their behavior and placement suggest they are treated as disciplined enemies rather than simple wild creatures, and the Order refer to them as Anchorae. They are also tied to Lodestone items in a few notable ways: a Cracked Lodestone can be placed into a Convection Oven for five minutes to change it, and carrying a Lodestone while sleeping triggers a special sleeping minigame with a twisted, fleshy visual theme.

Lodeites can be found in the village church and in the Witch’s Hut in Canaan, as well as in multiple reactor locations:

• Mist Reactor: a room with an Email Terminal and a Lab Rat
• Dusk Reactor: a room with a Sapper, near where the Behemoth is
• Cloud Reactor: near the corpse of a dead Sapper and a Charging Station, in the area with the mounted machine gun
• Gale Reactor: a room with Laboratory Cabinets, Laboratory Desks, and washing machines, near a shower room
• “This is a black clearance sector”: the Waygate Control room, accessible after disabling the electricity

They also have a chance to appear in Runic Crates.

When defeated, Lodeites always drop Silver Scrap and Lodestone Fragments. They are also harvestable for Human Skulls. In combat, ranged weapons and thrown explosives are the safer options, since they are sturdy and tend to move often before using their holy grenades. Melee combat is possible, but it is less efficient because of their mobility and the pressure created by their ranged attacks.
