Surtlings are aggressive creatures found in Ashlands and near Fire geysers. They are small flaming imps that are relatively weak, especially in Swamps where the constant raining significantly reduces the damage from their ranged fireball attack.

Surtlings spawning near Fire geysers can be farmed through lowering the ground around the spawn area with a pickaxe. As soon as the surtling spawns in water, it will take damage and quickly die.

Notes[]

  • Surtling is a reference to Surtr, also anglizied as 'Surt', a mighty giant fire jötunn in Norse mythology.
  • The flames around 1-star Surtlings are blue with 2-star Surtlings being pink.
  • Projectiles can be parried, staggering the surtling for some time and allowing you to close the distance for melee attacks, and possibly pushing them into water.
  • While they take damage from water, rain doesn't affect them.
  • They are the only creatures currently present in the Ashlands.
