Drowning

Drowning occurs when the player's breath meter fully depletes. While drowning, the player will take continuous damage until they are able to counter it with an accessory, a potion, a pocket of air, or perhaps until the player dies. The rate at which drowning occurs cannot be slowed down or sped up (unless the player has Jellyfish Diving Gear, which lowers the rate of damage taken from drowning). The amount of damage taken always depletes by the same amount each time, so even if you have very high defense, you'll die at about the same rate it takes someone with no defense to drown. Drowning may happen at any place with large enough bodies of water or honey to fully submerge the player, with the Ocean and Bee Hives being prime candidates for such an event. A Fish Bowl can also be worn to manually drown the player.
