Fireproof Treeguards?


Recommended Posts

I found a Treeguard for the first time in a while the other day during an exploration run, and got pretty excited, but ran into a small problem when I tried to fight it. I had planned to light it on fire to help me wear it down a little, and get some charcoal in the process, but I couldn't with a torch or Willow's lighter.  This might seem kind of a minor quibble, but when and why did that happen?

 

I hadn't run into any Treeguards since about... three weeks after they were implemented, so please forgive my ignorance.

You can only light them with Fire Darts or a Fire Staff. But if it was possible to light them with a torch they'd probably kick you to stop your from doing it.

Huh, okay. I used to be able to with just a torch when they were recovering from an attack, which is why I was kind of confused when the prompt didn't even appear.

Yup. It's the easiest way if you don't have either of the above mentioned methods.

 

I dunno, lighting a treeguard on fire while chasing on you simply caused me to have a very pissed treeguard on fire chasing me even with a full blaze. having to weave it in and out of the fire required me to possibly get too close and drop sanity not making the burnt results worth it

 

Best to get some (any kind of) meat and use pigs to attack if if you don't have other weapons. Even if no Pig King, there always is a village with several pigs. Or be smart and build one yourself nearby ASAP. 

 

Charcoal simply is lighting a normal (or even a wasted Totally Normal) Tree on fire and why waste the Living Logs of the treeguard (or the other "Totally Normal Tree" for that matter as well?)
