How to Use Early-Game Fire Tools Against Undead

Exploiting Fire in Early Combat

Before obtaining high-tier enchantments or dedicated holy armaments, you can neutralize the high defense and health regeneration of undead mobs using basic fire equipment provided by Consecration.

Choosing and Using Fire Tools

• Fire Stick: The Fire Stick deals no additional melee damage on impact, but striking an enemy sets them on fire for 2 seconds. This brief burn window is sufficient to depower the undead, allowing you to quickly swap to your main weapon and land full-damage strikes. Use it sparingly, as each Fire Stick has a limited durability of 13 uses.
• Fire Arrow: Functioning identically to a standard vanilla arrow when fired from a bow, the Fire Arrow sets enemies on fire upon hit. Use these to strip resilience from dangerous ranged targets, such as skeletons, before closing the distance.
• Fire Bomb: A throwable utility item suited for mob control. When thrown into a pack of undead, it sets all entities and select blocks within its blast radius on fire. It does not destroy terrain or cause block explosions, making it safe to throw near your structures while quickly weakening multiple incoming enemies.
