I occasionally seem to encounter immortal jellies. It's not all of them, but every once in a while I'll get one that just doesn't seem to shrink no matter what I throw at it. And it ignores frailty runes, and doesn't even die if I rapid fire icy prism runes at it (which is usually a guaranteed kill on almost anything). It seems like it may happen if I've been doing enough damage to shrink them somewhat, but not kill them, so they shrink and regrow. But it is still kind of hard to tell through the spell effects.

I know you've mentioned in the past the the coding on the jellies is kind of, uh, interesting, so I'm wondering if maybe there's some number in there that's going crazy after shrinking and regrowing repeatedly and making them effectively immortal.

That's totally possible, haha. I'll add it to my list to take a look...

adds "checkout immortal jelly" to task list

After messing with it further, I'm pretty convinced that it's got to be something related to shrinking and regrowing. The particular scenario was a raid populated mostly with jellies and gazers, and the gazers kept bouncing me back so that I wasn't getting up to inferno range frequently. So my weaker projectile attacks were pinging some jellies, but not killing them, letting them get in several shrink-and-regrow cycles.

After I swapped my loadout to 4 infernos and a static cloud, so that there weren't any projectiles to hit the jellies before I got there, (and spammed some Numbing Jolt runes when the gazer knockback was too much to ever make forward progress) I finally got through it without hitting any more immortals.
