For One mind this is three times as long, which is about 172 minutes (34 with "Unholy bait"). For Communal Brainsweep, it takes 3/2 of that time, about 86 minutes (17 with "Unholy bait").

On average, it takes 57 minutes and 28 seconds (11 minutes 30 seconds with "Unholy bait") for all 12 Elder Pact (speedup factor is 3) wrinklers to spawn, from a starting point of 0 wrinklers.To calculate the effective CpS multiplier, assuming N wrinklers present, the formula consists of: The fourteenth wrinkler alone increases net CpS by more than 143% of the pre-wrinkler base value. The net increase in CpS is 0.5% with one wrinkler, rising to 1008% with a maximum of fourteen. If the Grandmatriarchs are appeased, whether via Elder Pledge, Elder Covenant, or by selling all grandmas, all the wrinklers on the screen will automatically be exploded, and will not begin to appear again unless the Grandmapocalypse is restarted.īecause wrinklers store a percentage of the total wither rate, each additional wrinkler adds a larger bonus than the previous one. If a wrinkler is popped before reaching the big cookie, it will not drop any cookies or upgrades. The stats menu displays how much of the current CpS is being withered, as well as the number of popped wrinklers in the current ascension. While offline, wrinklers are dormant, and do not wither CpS or collect cookies. When exploded, it will drop 1.1 × the total number of cookies withered during its life and may unlock seasonal upgrades. The game hints at this property by having a wrinkler continuously shake when hovered over, and in the Grimoire as a backfire in the Ressurect Abomination spell.

They will still do their effects and can be popped.Ī wrinkler can be popped, or exploded, by being clicked three consecutive times. Note that in the latest version of cookie clicker being 2.048 sometimes wrinklers will spawn or pop up as being invisible. While the output of manually clicking the big cookie is unaffected, having enough wrinklers will appear to halve the cookie production of every building and upgrade.

Each additional wrinkler withers another 5% of CpS – two wrinklers wither 10% CpS total, three wither 15%, and the maximum of fourteen wrinklers withering 70% of the total CpS (actually 84% in practice, since the Dragon Guts aura that allows one to have fourteen wrinklers also increases wither to 6% per wrinkler). A total of ten wrinklers can feed on the big cookie at once twelve if Elder spice has been purchased, fourteen if Dragon Guts is equipped. Upon reaching the big cookie, a wrinkler will begin to feed upon it, withering the total CpS by 5% each. Wrinklers appear within the game's left panel and slowly crawl toward the Big Cookie. Ten wrinklers feeding off the Big Cookie.
