HOW TO RECOGNISE IT

Explodes into poison gas

Recognisable by its poison-gas explosion. A large body alone is not enough to identify a Bloat; the explosion distinguishes its behaviour.

How to fight it

Combat & survival advice →Healing & medicine →

EDITORIAL FIGHT PLAN

  1. Keep room to retreat before attacking. Its poison explosion makes close-range finishing dangerous.
  2. Use a ranged finish when practical, then move away from the corpse and toxic area.
  3. Wait for the hazard to clear before approaching its trophy.

Avoid: Rushing to loot immediately after the kill.
