Talk:Hellstone

Damage
I think we should research and fill in the actual damage stat of Hellstone, Hellstone Brick and Meteorite. --178.141.117.237 21:01, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

Edit 27490
Although the total amount of hellstone necessary to craft an entire set isn't a critical piece of information, it could still be useful under some circumstances. I recommend retaining the information, possibly under a separate section.

1.0.6 hellstone
many people used hellstone as a (rather in-efficent) light source, that would flicker on and off at regular times, 1.0.6 made it so you can get the "on fire debuff" very easily, it also has less use to be placed other than anti-grieving, and unless you hit it up close with something rapid fire like the harpoon, you can say buh-bye to a VERY cool light source, hellstone brick even doesnt produce ight even though being even less useful than helstone itself, and the only way to get past the lava spawns is to have a readied sand gun (which is an entire pain to get thoroughly if you dont have / farm the materials)

"Removing Lava"
I am unsure whether or not the new water effect also pertains to sand on lava. As you know, water in terraria 1.1 can no longer be displaced by completely sealing it, it just stays behind the object you placed into it. 71.87.113.136 13:37, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

Lava works just like water for this (so you can't remove it with sand/silt) A lot of the information on this page is outdated now actually, such as swarms of imps being a big problem. (most of the spawns in the underworld are bats and slimes now) and bone serpents being dangerous (they are the lowest damage mob in the underworld other than the slimes) Rahler 03:08, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

Dynamite destroys Hellstone
I tried blowing up hellstone with dynamite, it successfully blew up
