Potion of Levitation

Potion of Levitation

The Potion of Levitation is a common potion in Remixed Dungeon that allows the drinker to float over traps and certain terrain hazards.

Item Overview

  • Type: Potion
  • Rarity: Common
  • Special Effect: Levitation effect for 20 turns, immunity to weight-based hazards
  • Usage: Single use item (consumed upon drinking)
  • Price: 35 gold when identified
  • Identification: Becomes identified when consumed, shattered, or when seen in inventory after being identified
  • Moistening: Can be used to moisten arrows, scrolls, and rotten food

Special Mechanics

  • Levitation Effect: Allows floating over chasms, fire traps, and other weight-based hazards for 20 turns (DURATION constant)
  • Flame and Gas Immunity: Does NOT protect against gases or flames (those fill the air and still affect levitating character)
  • Root Removal: Removes any existing Roots effect when applied (Roots.detach call in Levitation.java)
  • Terrain Interaction: When the effect ends, triggers level.press() which can trigger any floor-based effects at the character's location
  • Action Message: “You float into the air!” (from string resources)
  • Identification: Becomes identified when consumed, shattered, or when seen in inventory after being identified
  • Stacking: Multiple potions can be carried and used as needed

Strategy

  • Essential for navigating areas with dangerous traps or chasms
  • Best used when crossing hazardous terrain with pressure plates or weight-based traps
  • Can't be used to avoid gas or flame hazards since they fill the air
  • The levitation effect only lasts 20 turns by default
  • Consider using before attempting difficult jumps or chasms
  • Useful to avoid triggering mechanical traps when escaping enemies
  • Should be conserved for critical navigation situations
  • The effect ends immediately if you take damage from non-weight-based hazards

Obtaining

  • Found throughout dungeon levels
  • Available in shops at moderate prices (35 gold when identified)
  • Dropped by various enemies
  • Found in containers and special rooms
  • Alchemically crafted (recipe not specified in current codebase)

Effect

When consumed, the Potion of Levitation grants the Levitation status effect for 20 turns, allowing the character to float over weight-based hazards like chasms and traps while being immune to their effects. However, gases and flames still affect the character since they fill the air.

According to the game's string resources: “Drinking this curious liquid will cause you to hover in the air, able to drift effortlessly over traps. Flames and gases fill the air, however, and cannot be bypassed while airborne.”
