Blaze

"Blazes are ephemeral creatures, constantly consuming themselves. Their ashes are said to bring good fortune."

Blazes are mobs found in the Crimson Isle in the. They can also be found on the player's Private Island if spawned by a Blaze Minion.

Blazes are also found in the Higher or Lower Dungeon Puzzle Room. These blazes are passive and spawn with.

They also will occasionally spawn during the Bal boss fight, alongside Fire Bats.

Behavior
When idle, Blazes stay on the ground and slowly wander around. When they sense the player, they fly upwards, and try to remain 0.5-3.5 blocks above their target. Blazes attack players by shooting a volley of 6 fireballs, usually when the player is within 16 blocks, but may sometimes start attacking from as far as 24 blocks. They shoot 5 fireballs in a quick succession, 0.2 seconds between each shot. Afterwards, they stop attacking for about 2 seconds.

Tips

 * For Blazes outside dungeons, it is highly recommended to use a Moody Grappleshot to drag them, prevent them flying and double the damage against them.
 * Due to Blazes having the ability to fly upwards, it is useful to kill them with a Bow.
 * Because Blazes shoot fireballs that set players on fire, it is recommended to bring a Fire Talisman. It will cause the player to become permanently immune to blazes on their private island, as the fireballs don't deal damage on contact, instead relying on fire damage to kill the player.
 * For mid-game players, using at least 2 pieces of Terror Armor, a Juju Shortbow and preferably a Moody Grappleshot and/or Gauntlet of Contagion can be useful for killing a lot of Blazes.

Trivia

 * Blazes that are killed drop 1 or 2 Blaze Rods depending on the level, compared to vanilla Minecraft's 0–1 with a 50% chance.
 * The description for the blaze in the bestiary, "They started the fire" is most likely a reference to Billy Joel's 1989 song "We Didn't Start the Fire"
