Fire Eggs are edible objects exclusive to Downpour. They are obtained by hitting Firebugs with a Spear or other weapon, causing them to drop 6 Fire Eggs. They function both as food and as a powerful timed explosive.

Function

Food

Fire Eggs are edible, filling 1 food pip when eaten (¼ of a food pip as Hunter or Artificer).

Explosion

Fire Eggs can be thrown with the force and speed of other non-weapon objects. They stick to any surface or creature that they land on. They shake and grow in size for around 4 seconds and then explode, killing or stunning nearby creatures. Artificer is not immune to this blast.

The explosion produced by a Fire Egg is deadly to most creatures, dealing ~57 damage, and is capable of instantly killing Miros Vultures and Daddy Long Legs. It also has a larger blast radius than other explosives. Fire Eggs are unable to latch onto trailing body parts such as tentacles.

A Fire Egg's explosion can detonate other explosives, excluding other Fire Eggs.

Crafting

While they can only be obtained naturally by Saint, they can also be crafted by Gourmand by combining a Grenade with a Karma Flower. The Fire Egg can then be combined with another Karma Flower or Grenade to make a Singularity Bomb.

Trivia

• Objects stored in Saint's stomach remain after resetting, allowing the player to bring Fire Eggs out of Rubicon.
• According to Looks to the Moon, Fire Eggs are filled with Void Fluid.
  • They constantly regenerate to counter the Void Fluid's dissolving effect, but the creation-destruction balance is fragile and destabilizes when thrown.

• Despite their similarities to Eggbug Eggs, they contribute to the The Monk passage rather than The Hunter.
• Fire Eggs are naturally pink, red, or orange when taken from a Firebug, but Fire Eggs crafted by Gourmand may come in a variety of colors that Firebugs cannot normally spawn with, such as blue, purple, or green.
