Stendari (listen Audio.svg) (also known as Fire Mage) is an enemy found in the Mines which shoots fireballs, bleeds lava, and is immune to fire.

Behaviour

Stendari patrols around on foot, and while it cannot fly, it jumps quite high. Once in range, it fires a weaker version of the Fireball spell, exploding either on impact or when the fireball reaches it's target location, being your position at the time of the attack. The fireball has a weak explosion that will damage solid material.

They are not harmed by fire and will cause nearby flammable materials, powders, and liquids to combust. Additionally, they bleed Lava, which can prove a highly threatening hazard, particularly in the early game where they are normally encountered. Solidifying the lava with water first can help in collecting their dropped gold, but be aware that the gold may be stuck beneath the rock that forms. Water, and a few other materials, do considerable damage to the Stendari, and immersion quickly proves fatal. They will avoid deep water to the best of their ability, but may overlook small puddles, which still damage them. Also, if the water is below a liquid harmless to Stendari, they will not avoid it. Stendari interestingly does not avoid toxic sludge, which you can convert into water easily. Harmful materials include: Water, Mud, Brine, Swamp, Snow, and Ice, as well as all the regular harmful materials, with the exception of lava. These include: Acid, Poison, Freezing Liquid, and Freezing Vapor. They will not bleed if damaged by materials.

If you are holding a Kiuaskiva, Stendari will become peaceful.

Combat Tips

  • Stendari is one of the most dangerous enemies that spawns normally in the mines, especially to new players.
  • It will often jump towards you and shoot at the same time, which can throw you off when trying to dodge its attacks.
  • Make sure you are doused in a fire-proof liquid. Even if you manage to not get hit, the frequent fire particles generated by fighting it will likely dry you off and ignite you.
  • Wands with the Rain Cloud spell are often found in the Mines, which are convenient for killing it with water.
  • You can douse a Stendari with a Water (or Swamp, Brine, etc.) Potion by dropping the liquid from above, but also by pouring it into the ground the Stendari is standing on, from below, which will cause Noita to spawn the sprayed liquid above at the nearest open space, in this case, right underneath the Stendari.
    • Killing them with water also counts as an accidental kill, dropping double gold. This can be a useful way to get gold early game if you're willing to take the risk.

Trivia

  • Stendari is a Finnish slang word for a lighter.[1]
