They have the tag [nobreathe]. Do they actually drown? The alternate method of fighting them with drowning rooms doesn't seem like it would work. Do stone fall traps work? I've captured one so I guess I can experiment. I just thought my experiments might go quicker if someone already knew. So far the fire man is doing just fine being underwater. It's fellow cellmates (goblins) all drown (and were beaten badly by the fire man as they drown) & the water level in there is 7/7. AmisiBastet 21:12, 28 September 2008 (EDT)
- The tag [NOBREATHE] means that the creature does not need to breathe - all lava-swimming entities need this to be able to traverse the entire tube. Otherwise they'd drown. So they won't drown. Also, there is no strangling a creature with [NOBREATHE], nor can you make it winded by puncturing its lungs. --GreyMaria 21:59, 28 September 2008 (EDT)
- Thanks! Oh! And the stone-fall trap killed the fire man. --AmisiBastet 23:02, 28 September 2008 (EDT)
I am a little confused about the fourth step in stopping fire men from attacking smelters. Could someone put up a diagram of how the walls should "box in the lava squares?"--Zipdog 23:25, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
