When Used
- Without a shaking 4-d camera in inventory:
| ||
| With a flash of light and an accompanying old-timey -POOF- noise, you snap a picture of him. Your camera begins to shake, rattle and roll. | ||
|
- With a shaking 4-d camera in inventory:
You've already got a camera with a monster in it. You should probably deal with that one before you take another one.
- Against a monster that can't be copied
This moment is too horrifying to commit to film. You can't bring yourself to snap the picture.
Notes
- Allows you to copy a monster.
- There is no technical limit on 4-d cameras used per day. However, because shaking 4-d cameras can only be used once per day, and you cannot use a 4-d camera if you have a shaking one in your inventory, they may only ever be used twice a day.
- Using 40 of these makes you eligible for the Professional Photographer trophy
- You may use a 4-d camera on a monster that pops out of a shaking 4-d camera.
