Talk:Snakefire in the grassfire

The only thing I've tried that seems to work is a shard of double-ice. But the smoking grass can be pickpocked and rave pickpocketed, so there's that.--Noskilz 07:33, 17 June 2012 (CEST)

• almost forgot - disintegration also works normally.--Noskilz 07:35, 17 June 2012 (CEST)
• Worth mentioning that only the first shard of double-ice used does significant damage, all subsequent ones (including a second funkslung simultaneously with the first) only do 1 pt. DaveK 11:23, 17 June 2012 (CEST)

Can also drop something called a "hot egg" which is usable--Noskilz 07:50, 17 June 2012 (CEST)

• But yellow ray doesn't get it, so it's probably quite rare. *sigh* --KingBobson 07:53, 17 June 2012 (CEST)

Siphoned a zoodriver, so it's a beast.--Noskilz 07:57, 17 June 2012 (CEST)

725 advs with +150% item drop, one hot egg dropped in total. given it doesn't appear on a YR, i would think it's a conditional drop like melange. i also wonder if maybe it's one per account... that would be totally like jick. ;) --Techrat 08:02, 17 June 2012 (CEST)

At least at the moment, they are copyable (used a black box)--Noskilz 08:49, 17 June 2012 (CEST)

In case anyone wondered, frigidalmation does 1pt of damage per round against these things - but that seems to be the case for everything I've tried except for shards of double-ice, disintegration and firing a blue bottle-rocket. --Noskilz 09:17, 17 June 2012 (CEST)

Seems to be immune to spell damage (reduced to 1)? The fire axe works well, with a guaranteed 200 pts cold damage per hit. --Riznok 10:24, 17 June 2012 (CEST)

There have been reports on the forums of two hot eggs dropping at once. We should probably look into this. --KingBobson 10:39, 17 June 2012 (CEST)

So I have a question... what is this monster's weakness, if it has one? I've seen the strategies others have used, but is there a way to kill the snake at, for example, a lower level with limited access to skills and items (Ronin or Hardcore, for example)? Not everyone has access to things that would make it easy to beat. --TheNachomancer 11:26, 17 June 2012 (CEST)

Beating it to death with cold damage seems to be it, so stock up on freezerburned ice cubes. Jiggling a staff of the walk-in freezer also did some damage. Not much, though. --Johnny Treehugger 13:40, 17 June 2012 (CEST)

Critical hit?

"It crawls from your <neck> to your <leg>, burning them both and everything in between."

• This attack seems to do significantly more damage. Is it ignoring resistances or something? --Itsatrap 09:22, 17 June 2012 (CEST)
• It's not a hot attack, which is odd. That would account for the high damage compared to the other attacks. —Yendor 11:50, 17 June 2012 (CEST)

Defense

I don't think the defense is 162. My buffed muscle is 170 and I can only land criticals. --Versusthemayor 09:54, 17 June 2012 (CEST)

• At 190 muscle, I hit every time. I'm assuming the defense is at least 176 or more. --Versusthemayor 10:20, 17 June 2012 (CEST)
• Mostly missing at 175 muscle, mostly hitting at 185 muscle. --Itsatrap 18:11, 17 June 2012 (CEST)

I have the Space Trip safety headphones on, and I'm not hitting at all at 136 muscle. Is it not affected by -ML? --Deus Ex Machina (Talk) 20:26, 17 June 2012 (CEST)

Coldform

Seems to be weak to coldform, weapon does normal damage while in coldform - AvangionQ 16:03, 17 June 2012 (CEST)

Bonus cold weapon damage

Seems to be weak to bonus cold damage ... fire axe, ice-cold beer ring, glacial clock, etc ~ these do normal damage. - AvangionQ 16:03, 17 June 2012 (CEST)

Monster Level

Does anyone know if you get the monster's hit points above 1000, you can get an extra commendation for killing it?--Elbie 18:11, 17 June 2012 (CEST)
