Vuoksikivi

The Vuoksikivi (listen Audio.svg) (previously known as Water Stone) is an exceedingly rare item.

While it has an approximate 4.83% chance to be dropped from a Great Treasure Chest, the easiest and most consistent way of obtaining it is by sacrificing an Essence of Water through an Essence Eater.

Usage

The Vuoksikivi applies Effect wet.png Wet at 100% strength to all nearby creatures, removing all other stains. When held, it produces a watery swirl effect around you.

The Vuoksikivi will also solidify lava into Volcanic Rock; materials tagged with [hot] or [molten] will become Smoke or rock, respectively. It will also prevent the oxygen bar from decreasing, similar to the Breathless perk. It will not, however, allow you to regain breath if you hold it while the oxygen bar has been emptied.

While it will replace any other stain with Effect wet.png Wet, it will not do so if the creatures are submerged in another staining liquid. For example, if you are in a pool of Toxic Sludge and dosn't have Toxic Immunity, you will continue to hold the Toxic stain until you exit the pool. Upon leaving, the Effect radioactive.png Toxic effect will immediately be removed.

If Water is Fungal Shifted, the Vuoksikivi will stain with the new material's properties instead of Effect wet.png Wet.

Tips

  • This item is especially useful for navigating through lava or fire without Immunity perks.
  • Equipping this around enemies will also give them the Effect wet.png Wet status effect. Keep this in mind when around Healers that have been Effect charm.png Charmed with pheromone. This can be used to very quickly kill certain enemies with vulnerability to water, such as Stendari.
  • SPOILER: Along with the other Elemental Stones (Kiuaskivi, Ukkoskivi, Tannerkivi), it is used to complete the Uusi Aurinko.
  • When held, will act as a stack of Repelling Cape, assisting in removing stains even if water has been shifted to a non-liquid material, such as after the SPOILER: smoke to water shift from killing Syväolento .
    • With nine actual Repelling Cape perks, allows you to obtain the broken effect of 10+ Repelling Capes on demand, preventing stains from drying off due to movement. This may not be desirable as the required type of shift means the stone cannot be used to replace non-drying stains such as Pheromone, presenting risks when relying on Stainless Armour.
