10 of them are used for a quest.

Other than that, just sell them as loot?

Who needs the Larvae
Spoiler: The cemetery keeper's assistant needs larve to create a potion that will burn more bodies at on time. The old burn one body at a time method is too slow! He can be found near the crementorium in the crypt in the cemetery.

AFAIK they are just for the quest, the surplus is good for selling... or eat them if you like :) They do nothing.

True, but I generally like my protein well cooked and unrecognisable...

And those things are just nasty, they pretty much look like maggots <at this point, I wanted to insert a smiley that was being physically sick, but sadly the emoticons provided don't seem to cover that eventuality... >

Yes you can eat the Larvae, but you can make more money if you sell them!

Eating the larvas adds to your hit points :)







Naaaaargh just kidding :lol:


Anyway - what about the reward from the Crematory Guy who gives you a Flask of Incinerator Fuel? Is that related to other quest or it's just sellable attack potion? :)

It's just upmarket demon oil as far as I can tell .. I saved it all the way through and only got to use it when I went for the 'kill everything that moves' endgame.

Maybe with alchemy skill of 50 you can make it yourself. 8>.

The flask of Incinerator Fuel is the granddaddy of demon oils. It covers more territory and burns longer. You get about three uses out of it. Had great fun using it on BombGoblins. Just run around let them group together and throw it. You may want to quaff a haste potion before you hurl it to get out of the area of effect. Even more fun if the taraux get caught with them. Also you can get the Bombgolblins to group together and set off one by killing it from long distance. Set off a nice chain reaction.

I ran around Crakimir and had something like 8 or 10 acid slugs in tow. I let them all get fairly close to each other and "Say hello to my Incinerator Oil, dastardly slugs!". THAT was alot of fun. :D
