Having trouble with a monster? You might be able to perform an '''insta-kill''', an action that immediately destroys a monster regardless of how many hit points it has. Be warned though, these attacks won't kill [[:Category:Bosses|bosses]], although some of them deal some damage instead.

Does sharpened hubcap apply?

An insta-kill is a combat action that immediately destroys a monster regardless of how many hit points it has. Be warned though, bosses and some other special monsters are immune, although they may take some damage instead.

Disintegration

Main article: Yellow ray strategy

Disintegration will automatically kill enemies and force all of their (non-conditional) items to drop. None of these can be used while you have the Everything Looks Yellow effect. See yellow ray strategy for a full list of disintegration sources

Combat Items

Using these items doesn't force item drops like disintegration, but they do not have any cooldown period. Most of these items will instead deal damage when used against enemies it can't insta-kill.

Monster-specific Items

The following items only work on specific monsters or in a single location.

Combat Skills

Similar to insta-kill items, these skills do not force item drops like disintegration. In fact, some of them destroy the monster so thoroughly that neither items nor meat will drop.
