Asphyxiation
Version 0.30: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.
Asphyxiation is an extremely rare form of damage caused by the sudden and painful inability to breathe. There are several sources:
- Engulf attacks deal asphyxiation damage over time.
- Drowned souls and water nymphs deal asphyxiation damage through their melee attacks.
- Primal Wave deals 50% physical, 50% asphyxiation damage.
Unbreathing creatures are completely immune to asphyxiation.
