there is only 1 bug present, any other bugs are just from me getting confuzzled in zquest >.<
- 2 super darknuts and one of them is a ring leader. if you kill the ring leader super darknut the level 2 darknuts that split from the ring leader die instantly.
here is a quest showing what i thought was a bug (first screen) and what is definably a bug (2nd screen).

What happens if you leave 2 super darknuts then split them without attacking the regular darknuts?
no bug occurs if you leave some spilt darknuts before killing the last super darknut.
edit: the bug happens with the super darknuts even if it isnt a stairs secret.
edit 2: erm it appears there are 2 bugs... the other would be if a super darknut is a ring leader and you kill it then it wont split yet the rest do split.
I tried reproducing this with a test quest, but strangely, everything seemed to work fine.

Sweet! Howabout leaving that one in, since it's technically "killing" the other splitters....Of coarse the ring leader should be HP->zero'd as well.
yea, it kills itself and its own splitters but only splits the other super darknuts (unless some have already split in which case those just die), so the ring leaders behavior is inconsistent with the ones that aren't ring leaders when a ring leader dies.
edit: er, crap!, do death knights split? if not then i screwed up because i thought they did >.> heh the below should summarize my findings.
- super darknut ring leader will not split. bug
- obviously the secret bug i speak of can't happen unless i have a ring leader >.> so there is no secrets bug.
- death knights dont split.

As I understand it, defeating a ring leader kills all enemies, leaving the screen empty.
Query: does a Zol ring leader split into Gels?
No. A Zol doesn't split when it dies. A Zol splits when it is injured but not killed. It is removed from the enemy list but doesn't call the death function, so the ringleader death code isn't run. At this point, the next enemy in the enemy list becomes the ringleader (the 2 gels that were added were put at the end of the list, so neither of them is ringleader). Killing the Zol (so that it doesn't split) causes the ringleader death code to run.

refer to the 2nd room for this bug.
I see what you mean now with the Splitting Darknut Ringleaders, but I want to clear something up: what do you mean by "so there is no secrets bug?" Is this saying that the bug wasn't actually a bug, or that there is a bug related to no secrets being triggered?
If it means anything, on the fourth screen of the test quest, there should probably be an Enemies->Secret screen flag checked, but it could have been something totally different you were testing, in which case you should not mind me.
isn't that amazing? the nvidia 169.13 beta drivers wont let zquest open in fullscreen xD.
OK
- a single Super darknut in a room with secrets wont split (if there are multiple in a room then there is no bug.)
- a ring leader super darknut will not split.
in both cases item drops appear as tho you killed the super darknut and its lv2 offspring.

Yeah, I still can't reproduce the first one. The Darknut splits as normal for me and secrets wait for its two offspring to die.
i have updated my first post.
Fixed.
