Does it work on fire shadows and fire elementals as well? Need to check that out, but might have problems getting close enough to fire elementals to hit them.
its the exact same water stim as a water arrow splash, so yeah, it will

Discovered today.
If an archer shoots you while you're carrying a body, it will hit the body if you time it just right: you need to drop the body right as the arrow is about to reach you.
I imagine it uses the same mechanics as the other body drop trick, where if you fall off a height while carrying a body, you won't take damage if you drop it right before you hit the ground

That's good news because I rarely use frog beast eggs. There are so many missions I want to go back and try just to use frog beasts.

I'm guessing that doesn't count against you if there is a no kill objective?

i discovered just a few minutes ago that if you run out of water arrows, there is another way to douse fires...
the splash from a frogbeast egg breaking will also put out firesGas arrows also work, but of course they're a lot more expensive.

I often wait for a guard to be near a flame so I can maximize the use of the gas arrow to also put out the nearby flame :cheeky:

Because gas arrows are expensive and not plentiful I end up hoarding them and often won't use them unless it's a requirement somewhere in the mission. I have used them to douse fires and torches in the past though.

I always thought gas arrows should have a depleting area affect. Like they only knock out someone if they land right on them. Anyone caught in the vicinity is immobilised as they cough for a few seconds - the same affect as being blinded by a flash bomb.

They kind of do as long as the AI are close enough together. I think if you wanted something to knock out everyone in a room or something like it would have to be much bigger than a gas arrow. Maybe a gas bowling ball thrown from a trebuchet.

Really? I thought they either passed out or nothing at all.
