If you use a random potion, hoping it's the potion of purity, sometimes it's the potion of paralytic gas. Results may vary.
That's why you don't drink potions inside the door.
Hence the high level of dumb by me. 200+ plays and I still made this mistake
Honestly, happened to me as well the other day.
I never use potions of purity to loot the gold from those gas rooms anymore. I just turn them into potions of cleansing now! If I need the extra gold I just use a couple of shots of aqua blast to block the gas vents.
What is aqua blast?
It’s a spell you can make (last page of alchemy recipes list) using a potion of storm clouds and an arcane catalyst plus 2 energy. When catalysts are removed (upcoming version) it’ll cost more energy but no catalyst (equivalent resource input).
You get 8 charges of aqua blast for one recipe. I believe it is equivalent to a geyser trap in that it knocks creatures back and creates a bunch of water on the floor. You can use this for a variety of things including covering up (destroying) traps, dousing fires, making a water highway for running fast with armour of flow, giving you a place to regen with a potion of aquatic rejuvenation, etc.
Awesome! Thank you for the cool information.
This is the dumb everyone learns the hard way. 😆 Another dumb is trying to move and not wait out vertigo from confusion gas trap making you fall down into a chasm and dying to fall damage.
That's one I make the mistake of more than I will ever admit. 9/10 it's not near a pit, 1/5 times of that 1/10 times I am also lucky enough to not fall in
