Mines Landmines are generally found active live in the Gloomy Caves, and unactive but inactive ones can sometime sometimes be found in the Tunnels. Mines are deadly to any IVAN character lacking fire resistance, and stepping on one during the early stages of the game usually results in death.<br>To be safe, a [[Rings|ring]] or [[Cloaks|cloak]] of fire resistance is recommended to as it will reduce the damage caused by the explosion. Resistances stack, so the more fire resistance items you have equipped the less damage you will take from explosions.<br>

Mines also come in two variants, a regular ''landmine'' and a ''big mine''. The big ones are much more deadly than the standard mines and have a larger blast radius, but do not differ mechanically. Due to the fact that they explode, a mine can cause any flammable item on your person to catch fire and burn.
