neutron flux is an extremely volatile and rare liquid that can normally only be found inside a phial for sale.

Upon eating a meal which uses neutron flux as an ingredient, the player will either gain a permanent +1 to their AV, or they will instantly die. Dying in this way will grant the Starry Demise achievement.

highly entropic beings are the only faction that requires neutron flux as a Water Ritual liquid, although legendary creatures of this faction are unable to spawn normally as of patch 2.0.201.88.

Sources of Neutron flux

Volatility

Neutron flux is a volatile liquid that, for most actions performed to it, will explode with a force of 15,000, causing ♥10d10+250260-350 (Avg: 305) damage to any creatures, items, or walls caught in the explosion. Dying from a neutron flux explosion will grant an achievement.

Will cause an explosion

  • Drinking neutron flux. This one in particular is Instant death and not a high amount of damage.
  • Pouring neutron flux into a pool of any liquid (including itself)
  • Pouring neutron flux on the ground. wishing for the liquid will also cause it to instantly explode.
  • Pouring neutron flux into any container.

Will not cause an explosion

  • Pouring neutron flux onto yourself (but when the liquid drips onto the ground, it will explode).
  • Pouring a liquid other than neutron flux into a pool of neutron flux, if one somehow exists.
  • Pouring a liquid other than neutron flux into a container of neutron flux, if one somehow exists.

Tips

This section is opinion-based. Your mileage may vary.
  • Neutron flux can be used in a pinch as a very damaging thrown weapon if inside a fragile container like a glass bottle or a phial. However, note that a container shattering is similar to a distant pour, so it will explode if it lands on another liquid, the ground, or drips off the creature that it was poured on.
  • At a commerce value of 1000 per dram, neutron flux is one the more valuable liquids by weight, and the third most valuable item by weight.
