This is one of the puzzle rooms that will always cause a specific item to spawn an that floor. And that’s the invisibility potion like others said. That is kinda the intended way to solve it. But there are more ways:

  • piranhas die on land if you move them there (blast wave, stone of blast, bombs, phase shift, curse of displacing, curse of displacement, fadeleaf, teleportatoin trap, warping trap)
  • timekeeper’s hourglass (might also require swiftthistle or potion of haste if it’s not leveled high enough)
  • ethereal chains (if the wall is thin and level high enough)
  • teleporting there and back (stone of blink)
  • blinding them (wand of prismatic light, flashbang, blindweed)
  • charming them (wand of transfusion)
  • terror (scroll of terror)
  • amok (stone of aggression, scroll of rage)
  • make them allies (wand of corruption, scroll of siren song)
  • make them fall into magical sleep (scroll of lullaby, stone of deep sleep)
  • not waking them to begin with
  • maybe stormvine
  • maybe scroll of dread to despawn them

Weeds don’t work on water. I mostly play mage and just throw an item onto the door and kill them with wands. Only things I really used was invisible potion and hourglass. Some strategies would depend on their position and how close they are to each other.

Curse of displacing especially on long range weapons like whip.

Using seeds with sandals of nature should work. Same for traps and reclaim trap.

For the original piranhas wiki says they are immune to freezing, paralyzed, rooted and gas in general. Further says that they are always twice as fast as you. But I dunno how much that would apply to ShPD.

Aqua Brews

You can use them to rig the floors (for ascension). You have a lightning wand, which gets stronger on water.

If I remember correcty and that “bug” is still there, then you can that against the sentry. The sentry doesn’t target you because you are too close to it. It targets you because you are above the tiles. Water does replace them.

The vents in the toxic gas room probably also can be replaced with water, but I’m not sure.

But the main benefit of aqua brews is equipment that interacts with water like ice and lightning effects or armor that lets you walk faster on water or the goo-potion that only heals you on water.

Though I wasn’t aware that it can actually damage fire enemies. First thought this is only about countering burning debuff.

I mostly play mage, but it should also work when you find a wand or have another ranged class: I just run in circles (entrance room - goo room) and hit goo all the time. When it pumps I run and do ranged attacks until it has caught up or go through a door to surprise attack. This arguably easier with mage because the ranged attack gives 1-2dmg for the next physical attack and 5 shielding. I try to guide it around water if possible.

My only on-floor preparation is to discover both paths to the goo room. I generally don’t go there before I’ve reached 6 talent points (Empowering Meal +2, Lingering Magic +1, Backup Barrier +2, Arcane Vision +1) and dump all my upgrades into the staff, which makes for a strong ranged and melee weapon.

Going through doors probably only works with some kind of mind vision, since you don’t want goo to wander off and heal.

All goo does is: pump slowly (strong attack, but gives enough time to escape), heal on water and give ooze debuff occasionally, but that can be washed away.

Generally don’t get hit by special boss attacks with countdowns (goo pumping; tengu bombs and moving firewall; endboss lasers)

No I mean that exactly the same inputs on the same seed with same class have the same results (moving, attacking, alchemy, giving talent points…), but that depends pretty much just on how RNG works. Hero’s remains break that a bit, since your last run influences your current one.

No, I can go on exploring the floor and then go to that room when I’m back at the entrance … or go there when I’m out of staff charges.

edit: No, I’m wrong. It only feels like taking longer, but the detour would take more turns. Unless I have to wait for my staff to recharge anyways.

In Frankfurt gibt es das auch seit geraumer Zeit https://www.mapillary.com/app/?lat=50.123688900002&lng=8.6358554&z=17&focus=photo&pKey=416865923804619

Der Trick ist so mittig zu fahren, dass man garnicht von Autos überholt werden kann, sie dürfen’s ja eh nicht.

No issue at all. Left-facing swastika is absolutely unproblematic. The Hakenkreuz is always right-facing and a stylized SS.

Reading a few articles about this, it seems a big concern is area. They wanna squeeze them in every free space they have between and around roads. Conveyor belts can probably do a lot sharper curves etc. than railways. If they do special small rails, they’ll also need special trains for that.

From the articles it’s also not clear if it’s from one point to another point or from multiple to multiple. They talk about deliveries, which would rather be multi to multi, but it’s not explicitly mentioned anywhere.
