Ancilla Slot Index

Ancilla Slot Index

(insert brief explanation on how it works and why its important for Fake Flippers and Bomb Dupe)

Correcting the Slot Index for Fake Flippers

Slot Index Value can be seen in the Practice Hack by turning on Misslot RAM Watch and looking at the gray number highlighted in the image below.

Item	Explanation	Example
Hard Console Reset	The easiest way to make sure the Slot Index is 00 is to just hard reset the console or Emulator. This will reinitialize everything ensuring a known starting point.
Bomb Drowning	Spamming Bombs several times while dropping them into deep water will set the slot index to 00. A splash ancilla is spawned in the slot the drowned bomb was in and if additional bombs are used while this splash ancilla is active it will reset the index. This can be done by dropping bombs directly into deep water or throwing one into the water.
Cane of Somaria	Spamming the Cane of Somaria several times in a row will set $03C4 to 00. This method is essentially doing a Cane only Somaria Magic Refill. If some magic is refunded then Slot Index is set to the correct value. A large enough area to have the Somaria projectiles fly for some time may be required.
Sword and Red Boomerang	Charge and hold a sword spin and then use the Red Boomerang against a wall. This will slowly decrease the Slot Index until the value reaches 00 or 01. The player needs to be standing far enough away from the wall for the boomerang to fly for a bit to fill the ancilla slots with sparkles before it clinks.
Lamp and Arrows	Use lamp three times quickly and then shoot 6 arrows into a nearby wall. This will set the Slot index to 02. The player can combo the 6 arrows with 2 bombs following to do a sucesfully Ancilla Overload Fake Flippers.
Ice Rod	If the player stands about 3 tiles away from a wall (a bonk setup will work) then they can use the Ice Rod 3 times to set the Slot index to 00. This method requires some specific timing and may not always work depending on speed. In general the 3rd shot needs to be done as the first show is "exploding" off the wall.
Red Boomerang, Powder, Arrows	Use the Red Boomerang and then use the Magic Powder while it is in flight. This will set the Slot index to 06. From here use the Bow to shoot 6 arrows to set the index to 02. This method is consistent but fairly niche in the event the user lacks a lamp and sword.
