Runepowder Barrel

See the identical reskinned consumable, Runepowder_Bomb

Runepowder Barrel is a very rare Consumable that can be ignited to deal damage.

A secret concoction of smokepowder and gmomic mysticism, a single vial of runepowder is more volatile than a whole barrel of smokepowder. Who knows what this much could do...

• The runepowder inside explodes when ignited, damaging everything in its vicinity.
  • Automatically Critically Hits objects and environments.

Where to find

• Found near Philomeen in Grymforge.
  • Philomeen will explode the barrel if the player attempts to steal it. To circumvent this, she can be engaged in dialogue with one party member while another steals the barrel.
• Two more barrels can be found in Angleiron's Cellar during act 3, regardless of whether the player stole the initial barrel from Philomeen or not.
  • However Rescue Wulbren must be completed for Angleiron's Cellar to be accessible.

Notes

• While it can be thrown as an action, the barrel does not explode when used this way – It has to be ignited to deal damage.
  • However, the barrel has 4HP. If depleted with throw it will explode.
• If the barrel and the Runepowder Vial are stolen before engaging in dialogue, Philomeen will turn hostile. This can be circumvented by engaging her in dialogue with 1 party member and have another steal only the barrel, then only steal the vial after she mentions it in dialogue, stealing it before will turn her hostile.
• It's imperative to stress the huge explosion radius of ~60 ft. Exercise extreme caution when detonating.
