Dynamite, my own special cure-all for what ails ya.

— The Demolitionist

Dynamite is a powerful explosive that explodes 5 seconds after being thrown. The explosion deals 250 classless damage to all enemies, critters, and players (but not NPCs) that are within 7.8 tiles horizontally and vertically of the Dynamite.^[1] In addition, it breaks nearly all blocks, walls, and furniture within a radius of 7 tiles, except explosion-proof items. Dynamite can be found in Chests or purchased from the Demolitionist for 20 SC each.

Dynamite's blast power is not affected by intervening material: for instance, if Dynamite is surrounded by Dungeon Bricks (which are impervious to explosions), it will still destroy other destructible blocks and damage entities outside of the Dungeon Bricks but inside the blast radius. Dynamite also works within liquids.

Notes

• The two functions of Dynamite have distinct and slightly different areas of effect.
  • Damaging entities: The explosion covers a 15.625×15.625-tile square centered on the Dynamite, i.e. 7.8125 tiles in the four directions.
  • Destroying tiles: The explosion covers a circle with a diameter of 14 tiles centered on the Dynamite, i.e. 7 tiles in all directions.

As a result, entities at the edge of the explosion may take damage even though the tiles there remain intact.

Tips

• Due to Dynamite's large blast radius, it should be used with extreme caution.
• Active Dynamite will disappear if the player exits the world during the 5-second delay. This can prevent accidental explosions.
