#~~REDIRECT~~ [[~~Encrypted~~#~~Easter egg~~]]

'''Myrkul''' is a secret [[tower]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]'' introduced in {{BTD6 version|42.0}}. It can only be created on [[Encrypted]] by upgrading a [[Super Monkey (BTD6)|Super Monkey]] into a [[Sun Temple (BTD6)|Sun Temple]] under specific conditions. Once summoned, it passively hooks in [[MOAB-Class Bloon]]s like a [[Pirate Lord (BTD6)|Pirate Lord]] and deals damage to Bloons in an area inside the crypt with its aura. It is not affected by any [[mutation|mutators]] ([[buff]]s, [[Boss Bloon]] debuffs, [[Monkey Knowledge (BTD6)|Monkey Knowledge]], [[Artifact]]s, etc).

==Mechanics==

===Summoning===

[[File:BTD6 encrypted myrkul example setup.png|300px|thumb|Example setup]]

A player can only summon Myrkul on Encrypted. This requires performing the following steps:

#Place a [[Super Monkey (BTD6)|Super Monkey]] on the altar.

#Place a tower on each of the four tower category pedestals and upgrade each of them to any tier 5 upgrade.

#Place a [[Primary]] tower in front of the bottom left grave, a [[Military]] in front of the bottom right grave, a [[Magic]] tower in front of the middle left grave, and a [[Support]] tower in front of the middle right grave.

#Upgrade the Super Monkey on the altar to a [[Sun Temple (BTD6)|Sun Temple]]. It will sacrifice all towers on the tower category altars. After a short pause, the altar collapses, [[sell]]ing the Sun Temple and replacing it with Myrkul for the rest of the game. This prevents other towers from being placed inside the crypt for the rest of the game.

===Hooks===

Myrkul's hook attack targets [[MOAB-Class Bloon]]s with infinite [[range]] and fires grappling hooks at them (prioritizing the strongest Bloons first), dragging them into the middle of the map and destroying them in one shot. It fires up to three grappling hooks at a time, with a 1.7-second cooldown between attacks. Each hook can grab one [[MOAB (BTD6)|MOAB]], [[BFB (BTD6)|BFB]], or [[DDT (BTD6)|DDT]], or two hooks can grab one [[ZOMG (BTD6)|ZOMG]]. It cannot target [[BAD (BTD6)|BAD]]s or [[Boss Bloon]]s. Grappled Bloons generate twice as much [[cash]] as normal when destroyed.

===Area of effect===

Myrkul's area of effect deals damage to up to 120 Bloons in a radius of 50 [[unit]]s around the middle of the crypt every 0.1 seconds. It deals 2 base damage and +5 damage to [[Ceramic Bloon (BTD6)|Ceramic Bloon]]s (including [[Dreadbloon (BTD6)|Dreadbloon]]'s Ceramic Armor Shell), but its damage does not soak through layers (meaning it only matters for Bloon layers with more than 1 health). It can damage all Bloon types and can hit [[Camo Bloon (BTD6)|Camo Bloon]]s. Since Myrkul is not considered a [[Primary]], [[Military]], [[Magic]], or [[Support]] tower, it can always damage Dreadbloon.

==Update history==

==Nomenclature==

The name of this tower is unclear. It is not named in-game and has never been referred to by name in any official update notes. Internally, it is referred to with multiple names:

*The file name of the sound the tower makes when it spawns is named <code>UIPropEncryptedSpawnMyrkul</code>. "Myrkul" may be derived from ''myrkur'', a Faroese and Icelandic word meaning "darkness" (both derived from an Old Norse word with the same meaning).

*The file name of the monkey model that appears when it spawns is named <code>Everseer</code>.

*The internal ID for the tower is <code>SpookyCreature</code>.
