Fire is a mechanic in Darkwood, only some items are able to produce it in some way, usually by igniting Gasoline. These items are: Torches, Matchsticks, Flares, Explosive Barrels, Gas Tanks and Molotov Cocktail.
Note that:
- Simply touching a fire will cause the Burning status effect.
- Fire can also damage the Protagonist.
- Fire cannot be extinguished by rain and water.
- Fire from Gasoline can be too small to possibly injure enemies.
Fire can be produced with:
- Torches can ignite Gasoline to produce a fire but they cannot create the Burning status effect directly.
- Matchsticks and Flares can ignite Gasoline to produce a fire.
- Explosive Barrels and Gas Tanks, when set off, can ignite Gasoline to produce a fire.
- Each Molotov Cocktail creates its own (small) fire.
Strategy
It is possible to create an incendiary trap in hideouts, simply by pouring a puddle of Gasoline and igniting it at the right moment.
