Despite being a merchant, the alchemist is by no means weak. When in combat, the alchemist will attack by violently [[explosions|exploding]], dealing {{heart}}{{dice tooltip|10d10+250}} damage to anything caught within the blast radius. The explosion is considered [[neutron flux|neutronic]] and has a force of 15,000.{{Code Reference|class=Alchemist}} This kills the alchemist.
When aggravated, the alchemist will trigger an [[explosions|explosion]] using a phial of {{f|neutron flux}} they will never sell. This explosion has a force of 15,000 and will deal {{heart}}{{dice tooltip|10d10+250}} damage to anything caught within the blast radius, including the alchemist themself.{{Code Reference|class=Alchemist}} However, the alchemist will immediately cease hostilities and begin fleeing from threats if their [[hitpoints]] fall below 99%{{File Ref|file=ObjectBlueprints|name=Object}} of their maximum.{{Code Reference|class=AISelfPreservation}}
 
However, the alchemist is also quite conflict avoidant: they will immediately cease hostilities and begin fleeing from threats if their [[hitpoints]] fall below 99%{{File Ref|file=ObjectBlueprints|name=Object}} of their maximum.{{Code Reference|class=AISelfPreservation}}


Belonging to the [[grazing hedonists]] faction, the alchemist normally will not initiate attack with the player or other creatures, but other creatures in {{favilink|Bethesda Susa}} will attack them, like {{favilink|eyeless king crab|plural}} or {{favilink|lurking beth|plural}}. Clearing out the floor so no creatures of an opposing faction will meet the alchemist is recommended to prevent untimely neutronic-related death.  
As a member of the [[grazing hedonists]] faction, the alchemist is not normally hostile to other creatures and will be targeted by a majority of the creatures which appear in Bethesda Susa. They will also become hostile towards a creature who they witness attacking a {{f|blue jell}}. To prevent a retaliatory explosion, the player may either defend the alchemist and any nearby blue jells before they can be attacked or kill the alchemist before their hitpoints are high enough that they stop fleeing and use their vial of flux.
