Paralysis Arrow is a special ranged ammunition item in Remixed Pixel Dungeon that paralyzes enemies on hit.

A wooden arrow with a head soaked in paralytic material. When this arrow hits an enemy, it applies a paralysis effect that prevents the target from acting for a short time. This is created by “moistening” a Common Arrow with a Potion of Paralytic Gas.

• Damage: 0-4 base points (modified by bow damage factor when fired)
• Delay: 0.75x (relative to weapon firing speed)
• Durability: Single use (consumed on impact)
• Price: Cannot be purchased in shops; only created through moistening
• Weight: 1

• Type: Throwing/Ammunition (Special)
• Usage: For use with ranged weapons like bows
• Consumable: Each arrow is consumed after being shot
• Stackable: Can stack up to very high quantities
• Special Effect: Paralyzes the target on hit, preventing actions temporarily

Paralysis Arrows can be created by using a Potion of Paralytic Gas on regular Common Arrows. This process is called “moistening” and transforms the basic arrow into one with special properties.

• When hitting an enemy, applies the Stun status effect (which has paralysis-like effects)
• Stun completely stops the target from acting for 4 turns (duration may be modified by resistances)
• Stunned targets remain vulnerable and can still take damage normally
• The effect wears off after the duration expires or when the target takes sufficient damage
• Does not stack with other status effects like Frost or Burning

• Creation Only: Cannot be found as random loot; must be created by moistening
• Required Materials: Common Arrow + Potion of Paralytic Gas
• Alchemy: Part of the game's alchemy system for creating special ammunition

• Excellent for interrupting dangerous enemies or bosses during their turns
• Allows for safe attacks on paralyzed targets since they can't act
• Particularly effective against ranged enemies that would otherwise attack from a distance
• Good for taking down one enemy in a group while others approach
• Useful for creating breathing room during difficult encounters
