Hydrolitis Plague

Danger: medium

🧠 Behavior

The Hydrolitis Plague is an environmental hazard in water-based levels. It manifests as dark, infected water tiles that deal damage over time.

  • Appears in Level 37 (Poolrooms) and Level 37.2 (Dark Poolrooms).
  • Infected water is visibly darker than clean water.
  • Stepping into infected water causes damage over time (no longer instant-kill as of 2024 updates).
  • The infection spreads slowly through connected water tiles.
  • Some areas require carefully navigating between safe and infected tiles.

⚔️ How to Survive / Counter-Strategy

  • Only walk on light/clear water tiles — dark tiles are infected.
  • Carry Almond Water — it slows the damage rate if you accidentally touch infected water.
  • Plan your route before moving — look for a path of clean tiles.
  • In the Dark Poolrooms (37.2), use the boat to avoid water contact entirely.
  • Don't panic if you touch infected water briefly — the damage is gradual, not instant.
