Where to catch the Meltdown Idol
The Meltdown Idol lives in Nuclear Wasteland (zone 17 of 17), toward the back of the zone. It is number 7 of 8 in the Nuclear Wasteland index, one step below the rarest. A full-strength throw needs roughly 6,500 – 7,000+ Throw Power to land in Nuclear Wasteland.
Foods that land here: Toxic Donut (~1 Td), Mutant Melon (~20 Td), Atomic Pizza, Uranium Cake (~9 Qad). A higher-tier food pushes the roll toward the rarer end of the Nuclear Wasteland list, so the newest food you own is always the best bait.
Any throw that lands toward the back of the zone can produce it. If you are hunting it for the index, lower your throw strength with the gear icon until the food lands on that spot – distance inside a zone decides which animals can come.
Is it worth keeping?
- Keep it longer only if it rolled a strong mutation or size (see the table below) or you need it for the index.
