"Destroys barriers"
Explosion is an alchemy formula. It is found in Tinker's tower in Ebon Keep Castle, by examining a scroll on a table in the lab.
Usage[]
Explosion deals heavy damage to a target after a brief delay.
Explosion is one of the most powerful alchemy formulas in the game in terms of pure offensive power: only Fire Power and Nitro have higher damage, while Lightning Storm matches it. Its ingredients are also plentiful by the time the player acquires it. Overall, if the player wishes to use powerful alchemy, there is little reason not to use Explosion.
Although its alchemy description says: "Destroys barriers", which would imply it destroys certain barriers, like stone walls (Nobilia Pyramid) or Ebon Keep Sewer barriers, it actually cannot target them and cannot be used to destroy them.
Along with some others, this Alchemy formula is in the list of potentially Unobtainable formulas.
Ingredients[]
Explosion requires 1 part Ash and 2 parts Ethanol for each casting. Both ingredients can be bought from Tinker Tinderbox, costing 52 Gold Coins per cast.
