Oil or whiskey lets them catch fire more easily, acid will burn them… There’s a lot going on!Īiding your quest are safe areas in between each dungeon, which allow you to replenish your spells, buy new ones and edit your wands. Luckily you can use some of the various substances to your advantage - firing lightning into water will conduct it nicely through your enemies.
