Is it really true touching Medusa's corpse is safe, but eating is not? Also, "contact attack" needs to be explained. --[[User:Tjr|Tjr]] 19:47, 16 July 2011 (UTC) | Is it really true touching Medusa's corpse is safe, but eating is not?

Once an eel destroyed my levitation ring over water with no adjacent land, and my character automatically swam to land IIRC. Are we sure that falling into the water with no adjacent land is always instadeath?

Do we have a page on "delayed instadeath" i.e. things like food poisoning or strangulation that take time but will kill you unless you do something about it? Ekaterin 15:51, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
Instadeath doesn't reduce hit points to zero. It just kills you. If you look in the high scores list, a character who suffers an instadeath is still listed in the scores list as having whatever number of hit points they had before they died. They're not listed as having 0 hit points. I think the sentences referring to hit points being reduced to zero should be removed. Djao 19:51, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
Cockatrices
Since there are like 46 known ways or something to get instakilled by cockatrices, I suggest creating a seperate article of ways to die from a cockatrice. I'll be creating it this week when I have time. krpors 09:20, 15 February 2007 (GMT)
- It could be made a section in the Cockatrice article. Lotte 12:11, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
Medusa
Is it really true touching Medusa's corpse is safe, but eating is not? Also, "contact attack" needs to be explained. --Tjr 19:47, 16 July 2011 (UTC)
- The first is definitely true; just tried it in wizard mode. As for the second, I think cockatrice#Ways_to_be_petrified_by_a_cockatrice explains it pretty well; I'll put a link there. -Ion frigate 21:23, 16 July 2011 (UTC)
