While usually creatures in Qud die only by taking sufficient damage, some methods of death bypass damage altogether and kill regardless of how much HP one has. Some of these also grant a related achievement for dying in such an unusual way.

Methods of Instant Death

Some methods will kill the player even if they are currently dominating another creature, and that creature is the one affected. Those methods have a “Yes” in the “Kills dominator?” column.

Method Achievement Kills dominator? Message
Reaching higher than 10,000°, causing instant vaporization No You were vaporized.[1]
Losing your last remaining head to decapitation Hole Like a Head No You were decapitated by [someone].[2]
Violating the Pauli exclusion principle while phasing The Laws of Physics Are Mere Suggestions, Vol. 1 No You violated the Pauli exclusion principle.[3]
Getting hit by the gaze of a lithofex No You were turned to stone by the gaze of a lithofex.[4]
Drinking neutron flux (specifically drinking it; other actions with flux merely do large amounts of damage) Starry Demise No You were crushed under the weight of a thousand suns.[5]
Being turned into a gem by a gemming attack No You were transmuted into [a gem].[6]
Dropping below 1 Willpower while wielding the amaranthine prism No You had a dream, which was not all a dream. The bright sun was extinguish'd, and the stars did wander darkling in the eternal space.[7]
Being any temporary forcefield (such as from a stasis grenade mk I, Force Bubble, or Force Wall) who was animated with Spray-a-Brain and running out the duration of the effect that spawned you (or, in the case of Grit Gate's entrance barrier, walking away so that you are disconnected from the originating force projector) Yes You die! (good job)
