Notes

• Upon dealing damage, the Flymeal produces the fart sound effect that a Whoopie Cushion makes.
• The Flymeal completely ignores town NPCs' defense, and deals double its damage (30 base damage) to the Nurse.^[1] The latter is most likely to counter her self-healing ability.
• Armor sets, accessories, and flasks that allow the player to inflict debuffs can also be used with the Flymeal to apply these to NPCs.
• Unlike Rotten Eggs, the Flymeal cannot damage the Eternia Crystal.

Tips

• The Flymeal should be solely crafted as a reliable means of damaging or killing town NPCs (unlike Rotten Eggs or lava it is not consumable and does not dislodge furniture) for a variety of purposes, such as:
  • Displacing NPCs who are blocking Chests or Beds and would not move away on their own.
  • Killing NPCs to acquire their unique drops (e.g. the Guide for the Green Cap or the Mechanic for the Combat Wrench).

Trivia

• The Flymeal shares its tooltip "Best used for pranking townsfolk" with the Rotten Egg.
• The tooltip "'Makes others smell like cilantro'" is a reference to real-life stink bugs, which produce a chemical that smells like cilantro when distressed, threatened, or crushed.
