SOLUTION TO PF's LAVA SNAKE CHALLENGE

I don't have the patience to do this outside of Wizmode at the moment, but there's nothing in this that requires Wizmode. This also banks on the assumption that his challenge to show a lava "worm" tile was a typo, and he meant lava "snake", since lava worms have been removed for quite a while.

1. Worship Qazlal Stormbringer.
2. Find yourself a lava snake.
3. Cast upheaval near the edge of the lava pool until you get a magma blast that creates laval.
4. Wait until the lava snake wanders into your created lava.
5. Wait until your created lava dries up.
6. Kill the snake in whatever way you like that would leave a corpse behind.

The only build I have is from before lava snakes were corpsified, but I trust these pictures will serve as proof-of-concept.

Or you could just cast Tornado.

Re: SOLUTION TO PF's LAVA SNAKE CHALLENGE

alternative solution was presented to me by gammafunk, which was discovered by hurricos, and beat my solution by quite a bit, which involves polymorphing the lava snake into a lava bat, and then killing him outside of lava, where his corpse will turn back into a lava snake corpse.

PF really didn't think this challenge through, IMO

Dying to an electric eel zombie as a DD still stands, however.

Re: SOLUTION TO PF's LAVA SNAKE CHALLENGE

It's a shame that chunks aren't differentiated by creature anymore. There could've been a special message for players who went through the trouble of getting a lava snake corpse on land and eating it. "This raw flesh tastes spicy" or something like that.
