Tips[]
Firebolt zap
- Don't use the wand if the enemy is on a water tile because this will extinguish the fire immediately, and as a result, you will cause less damage overall.
- Flying enemies are the exception; they don't touch the water, so there is no way they can extinguish the fire.
- You can use the wand on barricades if you're not sure which potion is the Potion of Liquid Flame or if you haven't found it on the depth.
- You can use the wand to cook Mystery Meat. Just put the meat either on a flammable tile like grass, a door, or put it next to a wall and cast the wand.
- Do not use the wand in gardens as these rooms are filled with grass and the fire could easily kill your Hero.
- Before using an unidentified wand, step away from any grass tiles so you don't burn your Hero if it is Firebolt.
