Water Arrows

Water arrows can be used to put out open flames like torches, fires and even candles.

Tactics and strategies

For best results, aim slightly higher than the flame you wish to extinguish.

Water arrows can also wash away blood and extend the reach of moss, by shooting an arrow into the blood/moss. They can also stimulate extra growth in a vine created by a vine arrow.

When you use a Holy Water inventory object, your water arrows become capable of damaging undead for a limited amount of time.

In many ways, these are some of the most versatile and useful trick arrows in the entire game, so gathering as many as possible throughout a mission is a fairly sensible strategy to keep a plentiful supply. In missions where they are rare in numbers, but still very needed, it is wise to ration their usage carefully.

Tip:   Candles can be picked up and pinched by pressing the Use key (Default: ENTER), thus you can save the water arrow for torches or lights in hard to reach areas.

Stealth considerations

Note that the NPCs (guards, commoners, etc.) are able to relight fires, torches and candles, so use your water arrows wisely.

In-game description
