Asphalt Mines

Line 107:

* The Asphalt Mines are one of the only reliable sources of large quantities of oil in the game.

* Descending to the Tunnels of Ur (level 20 or below) will generally involve downward stairways emerging in the middle of a pool of {{favilink|Lava}} at the bottom. Players who wish to travel through this region or to reach {{favilink|Hamilcrab, cyclopean merchant|Hamilcrab}} must enter the dungeon with a strategy for dealing with this challenge.

** The {{favilink|Fire suppression system}} [[implant]] allows for safe [[swimming]] and wading in lava, however, exposed gear items which aren't lacquered are vulnerable to taking damage.

** A {{favilink|spiral borer}} can help by providing alternative stairwells, though there is no guarantee the new stairwells won't go directly through lava. Digging to the very edge of the zone with a {{favilink|pickaxe}} or similar tool can substantially reduce the chances of ending up in lava.

** The {{Favilink|freezing ray}} ability or a {{Favilink|freeze ray}} will freeze multiple spaces of lava into "walls" which can then be knocked down with a {{favilink|pickaxe}} or similar solution. It will ''not'' solidify the lava on you or a companion, however.

** Lava won't stick to [[lacquered]] equipment.

** Lava can be removed from your equipment (or that of a companion) by cleaning with water. It may take several repetitions.

** The {{Favilink|jump}} ability especially when augmented with {{favilink|Pneumatic pistons}} can get you over the lava. This ability can be obtained on a temporary basis by cooking with e.g. {{favilink|sliced bop cheek}} or {{favilink|congealed rubbergum}}.
