CrecelleHack/Coatings

From NetHackWiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

In CrecelleHack, the dungeon can become coated in various substances, commonly known as coatings. Coatings can come in the form of potions leaking onto the floor, blood splattering on the walls, and more. Furthermore, they can be interacted with, destroyed, and created in numerous ways. For example, potion puddles can alchemize with other potion puddles, creating new potions and potentially exploding, and water can conduct bolts of lightning and send them in different directions. The following list is simply for identification purposes; discovering all the ways to interact with coatings is left up as an exercise to the player.

Coatings

Grass

Grass is commonly found growing on the early floors of the dungeon. It can spread to adjacent tiles, and is highly flammable.

Ash

Ash is left in the wake of fire and sometimes lightning. It can be kicked in the faces of monsters in order to blind them.

Blood

Blood is left behind when creatures die.

Potions

A thrown or boiling potion bottle splatters its contents onto nearby squares in the form of puddles.

Fungi

Fungi is frequently luminescent, and appears sporadically in deeper areas of the dungeon.

Broken Glass

Broken glass cuts the feet of those that walk upon it.

Frost

Frost can melt into water, and can be used to create snowballs.

Mud

Mud costs extra movement points to move through.
